Description
I would like the active editor to change color based on the active connection. This allows the user to easily visualize which the active connection is used for the current editor window.
This feature is available in other IDEs and other postgres extensions, but they are not an option for me to use.
This would allow users with Production and Development connections to know from visual cues where the query is going to execute

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue request and the extension's existing editor and active-connection behavior. Clarify which connection states need distinct colors, how users would configure them, and which VS Code color customization surface is appropriate. Done should include agreed visual behavior and acceptance criteria for distinguishing production from development connections.
