Freely Choose Tab Color for Members in LPEX

The user should be able to set the color of an LPEX tab.

Example: When working on a customer management application, one could color all members (RPG, DDS, CL etc.) that belong to processing the customer list in one color and the ones that belong to processing the customer details in a different color to easily navigate between them. Or color all members on the development system green and on the test system blue.*


Notepad++ got this feature recently and Visual Studio Code has at least one plugin that even allows to specify the color by regular expressions from the source name, which would be an ideal solution.

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