Tab "Colors" Doesn't has a "Current Status" Tab-Style.

Distribution/Version: Gentoo 1. Add the tab called "Colors" 2. Select said tab 3. Open the tab menu 4. Select "Tab-Style" 5. Look in dismay at the entry "Current Status" being grayed out :) I just updated to Gimp-2.2, and I found strange that this trivial feature was not added yet, I thought people would had asked for it earlier, but I just searched all over the Gimp bug database with no relevant feature request. I would assume this is a very easy thing to implement, and of "minor" importance for the time being since I currently use the current-status of the Layer tab to know which are my currently active colors (I removed the color/Gradient-brush-pattern previews from the toolbox, they were using too much space....)
GimpColorEditor would have to implement GimpDocked::get_preview. With some minor changes GimpFgBgEditor could be used as the preview widget.
2005-03-31 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * app/widgets/Makefile.am * app/widgets/gimpfgbgview.[ch] * app/widgets/widgets-types.h: added new widget GimpFgBgView; somewhat similar to GimpFgBgEditor but a lot simpler. * app/widgets/gimpcoloreditor.c: use GimpFgBgView as preview widget. Closes bug #168592.
