Edited screenshot to suggest a UI approach for my idea

The current interface in the annotations sidebar shows a list of annotations from the current PDF document.
I personally use different colors when I annotate to give it more meaning (e.g. colors for outlining a reference later, error, information, etc.), at this point I need to review them individually in the document.
I am suggesting that it could be nice to have a color indicator next to each entry in the list to be able able to distinguish them.
See screen capture "Screenshot_suggestion.png" for a visual mock-up.

Check the current and suggested view side by side here https://ecloud.global/s/SFNEoMz8GfZXqdM **(sorry I couldn't attach both files here)**.

Oh, that seems like a good idea!

Somewhere there was a bug report (and even a patch) about using the icons from the Quick Annotation tools instead of that meaningless Okular icon in this tree view. Can’t find it right now.
