Highlight dragon armour
I think it would be good if dragon armour got a special colour like artifacts: for example, cyan. It was used for cure mutation and good mutation, now i believe the rare potion of XP is the last to use it.
Rare "superweapons" (eveningstars, double swords, demon weapons, eudemon weapons, quickblades, and maybe bardiches, triple swords and exe axes) could also be always highlighted. Crystal plate probably also belongs to the category.
The colour would override enchantment level, brand and curse, like with artifacts. Text would describe the item as runed or whatever, if needed.
EDIT: The reason for this proposal is that it's relatively easy to miss out on such items, if they fall into a bunch of other stuff and you don't think of search @ before leaving the level; even then, since they have no special highlight, they can be missed easily. Having the rarest, best items clearly visible would make checking out piles faster, and cause less anxiety when leaving portals. There's also a more fluff reason of giving a visual impact to important item.
