Well, everything is in the title.
In konsole we have activity highlight right now (purple tab name) but in many cases I needed to see if the task is still running (outputting), e.g. rsync is finished. So, highlighting by another color would be nice...

There is another idea out there, to be notified when a task has finished, but this one is much easier to do I assume...

So it'll turn purple when there is activity, and then when activity stops, it'll change to a different colour?

I'm not sure I understand the idea. What is insufficient about the "monitor for silence" option?

Moult: yeah, different color, or just becomes less purple or something.

TheBlackCat: the same difference as in highlighting and monitor for activity, you don't need to switch it on and it's much less visible, you can check for it fast when you need it...

I just wanted to add that I need this feature as well.

The monitor for * are not helpful as they display the same (i) icon and show a notification that you will miss if you get your eyes off your screen.

If the monitor for * stuff were displaying a specific icon on activity/silence then they could be used. Failing that, the becoming green or blue on silence for a specifiable time would be most helpful.
