It would be great if the Forge content was identified in the Extensions list - maybe simply place the wording in italics or bold.
Whilst we are at it - it would be great if some helpful information was also available maybe when you click/hover over it. e.g. The filename of the extension for example.
It might be a nice place to use the xml description tag that most extensions have but isn't used anywhere.Quote:

Do you mean "Feature: xx" "Font: xx" "Theme: xx" and so forth?Quote:

I think the request is here about the file name, not the shown name of the extension :) While my extension starts with Feature: the file name is still some legacy name (because I started with such prefixes with the release of the forge, but I wanted to avoid issues for people who already used my extensions); though the file name is also a matter and request for the dev, I think :D (Since months I want to think about adding the extension file name to the extension description in the forge, but I was always too lazy so far :D)
EDIT: Now I updated all my items in the forge to show at the top also the file name and my github profile, for fellow developers or for people who want to customise their extension :)
Here is the theme naming that we suggest to DLC developers:
Decal: <System> - <Name>
Dev: <Name>
Feature: <Name>
Setting: <Name>
Theme: <System (short version)> - <Name>

Just to clarify - when you look at the extensions list in FGU campaign load screen you can not tell which extension it is behind the scenes without opening and looking at the contents of the file (assuming it s not in the vault).
It would be really good if you click on the extension and it showed some metadata about the extension. e.g.:
- Developers name
- Link to web page
- Actual filename of the extension
- Version
...etc
