I keep finding myself wishing I could set up pre-set rules to visually highlight rows/text when specific conditions or strings/regex are found.
Right this moment, I went to rename some files on a drive I've got flagged as Read Only. I wasn't even paying attention to the location.
I still want to be able to search the drive, but I wish I could set up a pre-set background color for the rows on the specified drive/directory, to just give me that immediate awareness.
If results is on R:\, change background color to X, text to color Y (for contrasting purposes).
I've had other times where I'm looking for some duplicate files I've wound up saving...

ImageA (1).png
ImageA (2).png

ImageE.png

and I wish I could just have any lines that have (#) to change the whole line's text colors, just to make things pop out stronger when I'm scrolling through a large list of files.
That kind of stuff, hope that makes sense.

Re: Conditional Highlighting
Conditional colors / color filters are on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestions.
There is already some support for basic filename color filters in Everything 1.5.
-Try a color filter with the following filter:
