Propose a changeable component fill color

[gypsykimono]

Is it a big deal to include a feature that is prevalent in other PCB cad tools, such as a changeable component fill color?

I am a very pleased user of the trace coloring option in the PCB editor, and I believe it is a significant assist in visually parsing the network.
IMO, a similar gain may be obtained if the diagram included more visual aids, the key one being color. It would also be great to have variable line weights and styles.

Is there any prospect of seeing those in the future?

I’d also add the ability to group components by color – for example, all analog elements in green, digital ones in blue, etc. that could really speed up circuit analysis...
does anyone know if something like this has ever been considered in the roadmap?

Thank you for the feature requests. Changeable component fill color is in our list of features, we will consider implementing it in future.
