Object Browser Support Connection Indicators

[Jim Gust]

I have to use an AD account most of the time. Because of this, I hardly ever get a connection match for setting the connection color. That is, until I read there is a general setting that can match just on the database name: Interface|Appearance|Connection Indicators.

That setting works for the active SQL window but it does not work for the Object connection match. In the screenshot below both the main and current connections are the same. The Connection Indicator added to the ribbon is Green but that same indicator on the browser window does not have a color.

Can you please update the object browser to support the Connection Indicators color setting (Interface|Appearance|Connection Indicators)?

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

I think the connection indicator follows the main connection. If your current window has a different connection the top indicator will differ from the objects indicator.

I think the connection indicator follows the main connection. If your current window has a different connection the top indicator will differ from the objects indicator.

You are correct that the "main" connection is used with the object browser. In my reporting, I did indicate that both the "main" and current connection are the same.

This screenshot better illustrates the issue reported and also points to a new problem which is connection indicator override does not work for AD connections.

My connection is using an external AD account.
That connection has an indicator color that should override the general connection indicator color defined in settings.
For development in general I would like it to be green except when I login as myself then change that color to purple.
My AD color override never matches, which is an issue that I haven't reported til now.
Since the override color didn't match, the current connection color used the fallback (green).
That same fallback green should have been used for the object browser, but it wasn't.
