Set global colour for specific remote connections. #543

Love the app, great work!

I would love if I were able to set a color for various remote connected windows. E.g. my work regularly requires me to work with the same repositories on different machines (in my case a local WSL:Remote connection, then an SSH:Remote connection.

I would love to be able to set two different colors to these windows in the global settings to create a high-contrast telegraph to my slow-brain as to what I am editing where if I am in a scenario where I need to flit between machines.

+1 I have been wanting this also. If I can figure out how to achieve this I'll propose a PR.

This half-works for me already: I can set the peacock config manually into the settings for a remote connection. The problem is:

  1. There's no UI for this
  2. On connecting to the remote, it copies the color settings from the remote to the workspace/project I'm opening
