Description

Since the live demo opens a full Theia IDE with the extension, it's difficult to figure out that you access the Trace Viewer through the sidebar.

Is there some way we could clarify where the Trace Viewer is?
* Automatically open the Trace Viewer tab when the application is opened?
* Somehow draw attention to the trace viewer tab (ex. Show a notification dot on the tab)?

Notification dot (blue):
