About Kryvich's Editor Status Bars

Did you know that if you change a source file in the Delphi IDE editor, a small mark will appear on the file icon in the Code editor tabs? Here is how it looks in Delphi 10.2.3:

File tabs above the Delphi IDE editor window

It's here:

The mark of a modified file in the Delphi 10.2.3 IDE

These marks are small and not very noticeable, so I reworked something. Now in a file tab, a vertical status bars are displayed:

in yellow if the text has been changed,
in green if the text has been saved,
in red if the text is protected from modifications (read only),
and no mark is displayed if the text has not changed.

Color bars in file tabs of the plugin in Delphi IDE

Colors of the green and yellow bars correspond to the colors of the marks of changed and saved lines in the Delphi IDE editor window.

I added the same marks to the drop-down list of opened files:

Icons on the file tabs can be turned off via menu Tools | Options | Editor options | Display | Show image on tabs.
