Hi,

What is the significance of the pink color on some of the items in the Navigator?  
and where could I look to find the answer to that?

Thanks

Scope.

Yellow is protected  
Red is private

You can change a setting to make them shape-symbols on top of the little icon. Same colors, same meanings, but shapes can help differentiate for some people.

To find that info it would be in the documentation somewhere, but I’m not sure where (I haven’t needed to look this up since the docs stopped being a PDF).
