Feature Request: Change the color (or other visual queue) for Reusable Blocks

[samxmunoz]

Issue

The value of reusable blocks is being able to make a change in one place and have that change reflected across an entire website (awesome!).

However, I foresee clients being confused about what is and is not a reusable block. Although they are named and when you save you get a list of what was changed, they are not distinct enough from "regular blocks".

Proposed Solution

I think there needs to be a more obvious visual queue to distinguish reusable blocks from others.

Elegant Themes' Divi does this very well with global modules (see screenshot below). Anything in Lime Green is a global module - so a user knows if they make a change there it will affect the entire site - whereas if they make a change in the regular module, it's for that page only.

Either a highlight around the reusable block on hovering in the visual panel and/or even a highlighted background or outline in the List View would be easy to communicate to clients - "if you make a change to this highlighted block, it's going to change everything."

Thanks for opening this issue! I see it as a duplicate of this one: #32163 Can you confirm if I've missed anything and if you agree that it's a duplicate? If so, I'll go ahead and close this out.
