OH NO A FEATURE AAAA ps Color COded foruMs

I really think scratch should add different colours for your forums and followed forums.
Whenever I go looking for where my forums are, I look through like 10 pages and I don't find them even though I bumped them like less then 1 day ago. I'm suggesting to change the color of the background box that leads to the discussion page. The background link colour is usually white and I'd like to change that to a different colour, like a lighter purple so I can find them easier. It could have a symbol next to it like in the mock-up's below. It'll be togglable. Also for the order it will be Your Topics -> Followed Discussions and Followed People's Topics -> Followed Discussions, so if you've followed a friends discussion it will be the Followed People's Topics' color not the Followed Discussions' color. Also changed name for more attention.
here's a mock-up: (thanks to atomicbryght)

Name Change - Different Colours For Different Forums! to Color-Coded Forums! - Nov 21 2025
Name Change - Color-Coded Forums! to the new title - May 2 2026
Ps name changes are so more people see it and give feedback it seems so small the amount of replies.
Also I'll make it Customisable

But it needs to be toggleable, because then it can be rejected.

No? It could be rejected even if you can toggle it.

I think this would be very useful, actually. It also doesn't have many drawbacks, and I think it's so little (but helpful) of a change that it would be okay to not be optional, at the cost of maybe a few people being angry or confused.

Maybe for your forums it could be a bit darker so it's easier to read, such as #FA9E14?

Edit: fixed spelling error!

Ok I'll make it togglable I've changed it now but it should probably be colours on default

Yes, #FA9E14 would be a good colour.

This might enter in conflict with this suggestion which also affects colors.

How so? They suggest different things and a dark mode wouldn't really affect this suggestion, especially if it's not even implemented yet.

Support!

I also think that closed suggestions should get their own subpage within Suggestions.

It would help declutter this part of Discussions and open up more space for new topics.

How does that have anything to do with this suggestion, though it would be nice to have it. Anyways, that suggestion's probably a dupe.
