Different color for font icon than text

[dgregorius]

Version/Branch of Dear ImGui:

Version: 1.87 WIP
Branch: Docking

Back-end/Renderer/Compiler/OS

Back-ends: imgui_impl_opengl3.cpp + imgui_impl_glfw3.cpp
Compiler: VS2022
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

My Issue/Question:

I want to tint a font icon, but have a different color for the associate text. E.g. think of an

ImGui::TreeNode( "FOLDER_ICON" "Directory" );

I would like to tint the folder icon yellow or blue for the sake of argument while the text should be white. Is this possible yet?

Without modifying ImGui itself this is not possible.

There was an extension when text drawing routines received support for ANSI color codes, you can find it here: imGuiAnsiColor.hpp, originally code was linked in #902.

You can modify ImGui to use this text drawing routine and you achieve some form of what you need.
I don't see measurement functions patched, so this mean escape codes will be measured with text, which may or may not be a problem.
