Hi all! I built a small plugin called Clean Project Sidebar because the "External Libraries" node and gray "library root" labels (especially next to node_modules) always bugged me.
What it does:
- Hides the "External Libraries" node from the Project tool window
- Hides those gray "library root" text labels next to folders like
node_modules - Both toggles are in Settings > Appearance & Behavior
It doesn't change any project structure just declutters the view.
Before & after:

JetBrains Marketplace: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/31451-clean-project-sidebar
Hope it helps someone else who likes a cleaner sidebar!
