Add a colored border for different environements in RDi

In IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) - Run SQL Scripts it is possible to set a colored border for different environments/connections. This is really helpful when working on different (customer) environments or test and productive environments.

Adding such a colored bordering to RDi would be really helpful.

Currently I work only with a single connection/environment just to make sure that I'm not working by accident in a wrong environment or a wrong machine.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    At first I'd need it for the editor, which would be the most important thing, to avoid changing sources in a wrong environement (Development / Productive / Customer A / Customer B ...).

    For the editor different background colors or watermarks would also work.

    Having also individual borders for the object tables would not be bad, to make sure we are working in the right environment.

    Requests more information:
    We need to know if you want all views, or just the editor to include the new border; ie, do you need this on Object Table view? (If editor only – watermark/background instead of border color?)
