#8 Tab's change color when circuit is present

[Anonymous]

Hello Team,

One feature I thought would be nice would be to have
the the 10 page tabs change color when a circuit is
present on that page. Having the tab turn from gray
(nothing on the page) to Black (when anything is
present on that page) would be helpful in debugging
circuits and knowing if something off page is
conflicting or not. As it is now, a user must open
every page and inspect it to know if a circuit is
hidden somewhere.

This is not a huge deal but just a thought.

Good idea. I like it.

Not a bad idea. Now that I think about it, though, it might be a better long-term solution to simply not show any pages that don't have data on them. Similar to the way that Excel does tabs - don't add another one until someone requests it, or maybe just until someone adds something to the last page. That could get complicated, though.

An alternative would be to simply put an asterisk (*) symbol or some other marker on pages that are empty. This would be much easier to accomplish in the code than changing colors, I think. It really depends on the inner workings of the wxWidgets notebook, however.
