Currently we highlight channels when there is activity in them (via bolding them). It would be nice if we used a color to specify that someone in another channel referenced you.

Is it even physically possible to change the colour of the text on a CTabItem?

Comment 7 Remy Suen

There doesn't appear to be any public API in CTabItem that I could find. You can set the foreground of the parent CTabFolder but that will change the text colour of _all_ CTabItems'.

Alternatively, we could just mark the item as "dirty" like '#eclipse*' to indicate that your name has been referenced. What do you think, Chris?

How about a bold font?

I could live with that. Or we could have images, that works too I s'pose.

Actually there had been a method to do what we originally wanted in CTabItem but a breaking change happened in SWT at some point and now that method doesn't exist anymore.

I'll try to solve this by images.
