JetBrains Rider: version control status colors

File status

Files can be displayed in different colors in the Explorer tool window CtrlAlt0L, and their editor tabs can be highlighted according to the results of code analysis, their version control state, and so on.

You can configure VCS file status colors on the Version Control | File Status Colors settings page  CtrlAlt0S.

JetBrains Rider: Configure VCS file status colors

tip

To also highlight folders with modified contents, select Highlight directories that contain modified files in the Project tree on the Version Control | Confirmation settings page  CtrlAlt0S.

The table below lists default file status colors and their meanings in some of the color schemes.
