Created attachment 114193 [details] Color tabs in Firefox Konsole already supports setting the background color of the current terminal by outputting an escape code within the terminal, example shell command: echo -ne '\e]11;#0000ff\a' ...this sets the terminal background color to hex code #0000ff (blue). It would be awesome if something similar could be done for Konsole's tabs. This would make them much easier to tell apart quickly without needing to read them every time, and make switching tabs very efficient, easily when logged into lots of different hosts. This would also make it easy for people to write simple shell scripts etc that automatically set the tab color based on hostname, username and lots of other things. I've attached an example screenshot of a Firefox plugin that lets the user set tab background colors.
This is currently assigned to Konsole Developer. If it's just assigned by default, I can assign it myself and develop it.
