Suggestions for improving the display of tabs in the SourceCode editor

[PeterPanettone 157]

Better display of tabs in the SourceCode editor (OPTIONAL):

1. Marking of the MainForm unit in bold font
2. Marking files that do not belong to the current project in italics

 

This would lead to more visual consistency and transparency in the presentation of the tabs in the SourceCode editor.

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks to everyone for taking part in this BRAIN TEST!

Instead of hardcoding it like this and making it optional (which makes little sense), it would be better to fill the Tab Options (Options > Editor > Tab) with way more options, such as choosing colors for each scenario (locked units, system units, etc.), or disabling them altogether.

Having flexible UI options is always a good thing. Thank you!

AFAIK, italic is already used for Files implicitly opened while debugging. These files are automatically closed when the debugging ends as long as the corresponding option is set (see Debugger Options -> Auto close views after debugging), but the state can be changed in the context menu.

 

So, I'd also opt for something configurable instead of hardcoding.
