Customizing the component browser in AEM 6.1

I'm interested in customizing the component browser, primarily to reduce the emphasis on the colored bars. I've seen customizations for the asset finder, so I'm guessing it's possible; can anyone point me to an example for the component browser?

Thanks

It's indeed possible to customize the component browser; however, there are no specifics out of the box hooks provided like for the asset finder.
Component cards are rendered by the script /libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/componentbrowser/component/component.jsp. So if you want to change the rendering, you could overlay this file and provide your custom rendering. Also, the default styling of those cards are defined in /libs/cq/gui/components/siteadmin/admin/components/clientlibs/components/css/card.css (for instance, the different colors are defined there).
