Dependency coloring in Explorer
What is the significance of the different colors of dependencies in the Explorer window?
I'm using the Dark theme. Under a C# project, Dependencies, Assembly, some of the assemblies are an olive color and the others are a light color (white or light grey). What do these colors signify?

Thank you for contacting Rider support.
Would you mind sharing a full-screen screenshot of the Rider window that demonstrates it?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
Here you go Dmitry.
Thank you for the screenshot shared and for your question.
This coloring means a VCS status (Ignored in your case). If a dependency is colored, it means this dependency is referenced as a NuGet package and is stored under the {Solution}/packages folder which is ignored by your .gitignore.
We discussed it with the team and decided that highlighting these nodes is weird and confusing.
I registered the following task on out tracker. Feel free to upvote it to demonstrate your interest:
- Remove dependency VCS highlighting from Explorer (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-95480)
Should you have any other questions or difficulties, please let me know.
Have a nice day!
