I'm still new at Krita so this might already be in effect. It would be helpful at least to me, possibly others, if there was some way to know which favorites palette (the round thing) is active currently. For example, I have mine set up so that my main favorites are on one tag, But I have so many that it takes 3 tags and I don't always know which one I'm using. I have it set to hold 15 presets right now, more seems to skrunch them too tightly. I hope that makes sense and if there already is a way please overlook my ignorance.

Not a dev here, just a user, but I think when you click on the wrench icon in the pop up pallete, a tick/check mark next to the currently active tag would be a good option?

maybe that won't be so hard for a dev to implement.

Yes, that would be good to have.
