    I'm working on adding a new box type, a "File Box" which would be like an App Compartment Box but it would disable most of the hooks and isolation leaving only File system isolation in place and a few other required hooks.

    The use case would be to be able to with even less interference and incompatibilities to use Sandboxie for file isolation, for example to better manage once work files, or Game Saves, etc...

    Of this box type there would probably be no blue-isch variant with data protection but one could of cause set such rules up manually

    1. What do you think about that idea
    2. What color should such a box have?
    3. do you see a usecace for having such a box type but with privacy mode, and if yes what color should it have?

    Hard to think of colours now. Most of them are already used, also if you go with shades of colour people who are colour blind may struggle.
    Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is symbols perhaps.
    Please excuse the childish drawing :)

    Not sure if you did it on purpose or not.
    There's a bit larger gap here:
