Description

Hi,

I already suggested this a few times, and you also agreed times it would be useful. But probably there's no story for it so far which might be why it never happened:

If in the NCF editor a condition is set for method, there's no visual way to tell so if the "conditions" area is folder.
This is a workflow issue - there is not enough space on the screen, so we need to usually keep it folded.
But we might not be aware of the conditions we got until we unfold it.
If you got a few methods in the technique you need to go through all of them, etc.

I would be ieasiest if there was a somewhat-subtle-but-not-too-subtle color coding on the conditions/classes area if one is set (other than "any").

I suppose that is a 15 minute hack that would immediately help all users.

A smart bonus would be to scan all those conditions and then also flag in colour all return classes that are currently used somewhere.
(need to update on technique save, and now it's not a 15 min hack anymore. but you'd be 1/3 way to a full dependency graph though all of NCF)

Best wishes,
Flo
