feature request: event viewer breakpoint colors #136

I really like the event viewer, it is great as is, but something that I feel could make it even better is if each marked breakpoint could have its own color displayed if desired, which would make seeing different parts of the code being displayed easier to read

being able to mark multiple address range breakpoints is a great feature I REALLY like for seeing how many cycles it takes for code to execute, and having an extra layer of customization for the output to the event viewer would only make it more powerful of a tool

(just a general image attachment for reference)

Thanks for the request. This is something that's been asked in the past (on Mesen), but I never implemented, mostly to try to keep things simpler in terms of UI/coloring.

If your main intent is to measure execution time for a function, process, etc., the profiler is essentially made for this. (Unrelated: I just noticed that Mesen-S' debugger is missing the toolbar that Mesen has where it will display the number of cycles elapsed since the last break, too)
