Netbeans Version Control File Color Codes?

Question

I'm trying to find a legend that can help explain the different colors NetBeans uses to describe the state of a file.

Some of my file colors are:

Grey
Blue
Green
Any others I have yet to discover

If it helps, I'm using Netbeans 6.7 with CVS. What are these colors?

Green means new.
Blue means modified.
Grey means ignored and/or deleted. (Documentation contradicts the tooltip hint!)

If you go into the View menu, you can turn on Show Versioning Labels. That will put text next to each file explaining its state (and what each color represents).

Your image seems to be dead. Do you remember what it was? – Laurel Oct 11 '17 at 20:12
@Laurel I assume it was a picture of the labels in action. If anyone can take a picture of what this currently looks like I would appreciate the edit with a new picture. – James McMahon Oct 20 '17 at 16:40

Using the online help and searching for icon/icons and or badge/badges should give you the information you want.

Alternatively take a look at BadgedIcons which at least explains some of the colors and icons (e.g. for version control)
