Summary

When you have a lot of tabs open it's handy to color code them so that you can navigate to the right layout or event sheet quicker. However, if you want to recolor five tabs green, you have to manually recolor each tab. Being able to recolor a selected group of tags would speed up this process and make organizing them a lot easier.

Possible workarounds or alternatives

Copying and pasting the hex value for each tab or having a folder of colored sprites where you can use the eyedropper tool. (This doesn't work well because the color picker often obscures the objects menu)

Proposed solution

Having another option in the tab color menu for group recoloring with a dropdown of layouts and event sheets to select and then recolor (perhaps similar to the "Choose event sheet" menu).

Why is this idea important?

Would greatly improve color coding and organizing tabs, as well as feeling more intuitive.

Additional remarks

Having an option to set the set the tab color for both the layout and its event sheet could be a possible alternative, but that's for another feature request.
