Please consider adding option to "color code" your configured connections on main page or way to group them together with user defined folders (Prod, Dev, Admin, etc) One or the other or both is fine.

Hi

You can already group together connections into "folders" by right clicking a connection and selecting "Move to Group...". That will popup a dialog where you can enter a name for the folder.

Creating folder to store connections is one thing, but adding a color scheme would be really helpful.
When you have many table opened with a mix of dev and prod connections, it's super easy to make a mistake.
With tabs displayed in red and green, you don't select the wrong server...

+1 for this feature. Colour-coding your connections e.g colouring the active tab, or shading the toolbar, would be fantastic for determining dev or prod environments at a glance and not making silly errors.
