In spite of the diverse background colors to indicate the levels in the hierarchy of notebooks, I have difficulty to see the right structure at a glance. There are too many types of signals calling for attention: (modestly) different background colors indention of titles very prominent expand/coll…

Thanks for looking into this issue @memophen . Perhaps we could have a non-binding vote to decide what to do about the sidebar design? One vote to decide “background colour vs no background colour”, and another vote to decide what expand/collapse symbol should be used. Although for this maybe we cou…

I would prefer not to add an option for this as it can already be customised by usercss if needed, but instead try to find what’s the best default.

For people to recreate the existing look with userstyle.css we will need both a .selected class and a .notebook-level-[x] class added. Right now you cannot tell what level a notebook is with CSS only since it is only being applied visually with inline styles. Regardless, I vote no background, excep…
