Description

Describe the solution you'd like?

When working with multiple tabs, some of them are running long running processes like daemons, servers, etc.

Convert these to "notifier tabs". Notifier tabs will have green color when the process is running, and red when the process is not running.

Additional context

This feature will notify the user regarding running processes without having to switch to the tab.

How important is this feature to you?
