It seems that the color does not make much benefits to our app.

Is there any people use color as identification markers? If not, I would suggest to remove color mark to get a thinner title bar.

like this

Yes, color in title bars should be removed as its not very identifiable. I didn't see it at all.

But IMO, we could keep color and perhaps find better way to show it, for example color items/rows in connection list and quick launcher, color blank RDP/whatever window during connection (now black) and/or add separate color column.

So here is the possible list where it could go:

Config background/overlay

image

Host window border

image

List view on the side (and similar in quick launcher)

image

List view row

image

There could be number of options related to this: border size, border position, if to show it etc.

I believe overlay here is mandatory if possible easy to achieve in WPF (I don't really know) as you can blend color in given percentage with original background.

I‘ve tried the Host window border and found it disperse my attention a lot.

That is the point if you want to be alerted you are on Production all the time. This should be an option anyway, and probably off by default. Also, "dispersion" is certainly related to border size and position - for instance thinner border or positioned only on top/bottom might be less distracting and still alerting.

In the list

GUI around the table and tab color:

Its settable here and off by default:

Its of tremendous help IMO. I am constantly alerted when on Production database and it screams all the time as it should.

Here is another example in vscode:
