More Visual Differentiation between multiple startup debug processes in Visual studio?

Is there a more visual way to differentiate what process you are busy debugging when hitting a break point and then switching between the processes using the process drop down?

Something in the line of different background windows colors per process?

Possibly a add on or plugin?

At present, I haven’t found any plug-in that could highlight the process that is currently debugging in Visual Studio. But the tools those Visual Studio offers could help us to differentiate them while multi-process debugging:

enter image description here

You can see there are two places where we could find out the current process under debugging: In the process window (Debug -> Windows -> Processes), it gives the golden arrow.

In the right hand, at the top of Diagnostic Tools, there is also a pop-up which indicates the process with PID that is under debugging. I also found thread talking about the similar issue which also might help:

How can I tell which process I am debugging (attached to multiple processes)?
