Indicate which tabs currently have a separate window of Developer Tools running

Reported by jidanni@gmail.com, Sep 27

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
If one uses "Undock into separate window", there in no indication in the
original window which of one's many tabs the separate window applies to.

Therefore I propose, just like when one tab is playing music, a little
indicator, or tab color, so one can see at a glance which tab(s) have a
separate window of Developer Tools currently open.

(One might say 'well how about the tabs that just have "dock to right"
etc.? Don't they also need an indication?'... well not as "badly"...)

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Can't tell at a glance which of ones many tabs have Developer Tools windows separately open.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.92  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version:
 
You can click "Focus debuggee" in devtools' three-dot menu.

"Focus debuggee"is great for getting back to the debuggee from the Developer Tools window. I'm talking about when one is looking at the row of tabs at the top of the browser and wishing to know at a glance which one(s) are currently being debugged (and thus by the way using more memory.)
