Current Dolphin sidepanel "Places" is bretty plain. Clean and simple. But when having more entries added, it starts slowing down user to find correct panel fast way. Of course personal settings on account means user starts remembering where entries were, but could we make it easier?

Apple has entry names on Finders sidepanel like "Devices" "Shared" "Places" and "Search For". We have only one panel but we can mix them with others like "Tree" or "Information" to get more to be shown.

Suggestion is just add a "places" place otherkind grouping functionality for entries. What if user could select a background for entry as well? And when placing them together, you get them linked to one big background.

And to make easier to color entries, dropping a entry between two colored entry would apply same background to new one. So by example adding the tags would be easy when they are easy to recognize from other entries.

And having easy way to apply a color background to entry, it would just be behind right click (no in the sub-menu)

Of course this would be non-default coloring.
