Feature Request: Show Server Group color in more windows

PureKrome opened this issue Β· comments

πŸ‘‹πŸ» G'Day!

Problem: It's not easy/obvious to see/know what your connection is to a PROD or DEV Database. This means it's easier to risky sql queries without taking extra special caution.

e.g. connect to prod. person then does some update, fails to put it in a TRAN and ruins the internet with the bad query.

Solution: Use colour to help visualize the connection. For example, an opaque red for PROD, opaque for DEV, etc.

I know TABS currently have the ability to have colour. Would love is this could be applied to the other windows, like the main workspace window.

E.g.
Currently we have this:

image

and when u are in a query window (for this selected server GROUP) we now get this:

image

but this easily gets lost when doing a lot of work. INSTEAD, would be lovely to have:

  • Colour per connection (instead of server group)
    image

and now the window is an opaque colour

image


In SSMS, this exists but it colours the BOTTOM FOOTER instead of the entire workspace

image

so yeah .. would REALLY love this VISUAL colour hints, please. πŸ™πŸ»
