Topic: [Feature request] Visually mark favorites in games list

[fprietog]

Hello,

I have a feature request. I mark as favorite the games I try and like, but sometimes (being honest, most of time) I'm not sure if the game is in favorites already and need to check it clicking in the name.

So... Should it be possible to visually mark in the list the games that are already in favorites? For instance, with a Star at the beginning (or at the end) of the name, or with a different font color.

I think it should be very visual. It can be also be made a choosable option for the people that didn't want it be shown that way.

Thanks and best regards.

Thank you very much!

How about something like this?
(zookeep is marked)

Yep, why not? Only thing is that you use a background color like in clones so i it may be a bit confused when had a favorite that's also a clone.

Maybe just using bold font? It may be enough and simple...

regarding the background color:
The clone color could be slightly different

on fonts..
As far as I can tell, treeview (the windows control that shows the list) can only use a single font, so it wouldn't be possible unfortunately.

Ok, the point is to have the favorites at first glance, so perfect! 

Thank you again.

Works beautifully! It even refresh the status in the list when select/deselect a favorite!

Thank you!

Just one lil suggestion: If there is people that don't like this new feature you may put an Option to enable/disable it. Something like this:

Great, glad you like it
I figure: if someone doesn't like the favorites being highlighted, they probably won't want favorites anyway - so, that negates the need for such option... XD

logic wins!
