Heyya! I was animating the other day, and when I was animating on 2’s and wanted to switch to 3’s, I got lost in something else, and I forgot what I was animating on! (whoopsies) I would like to request you add the ability to change the color of the frames, so I can remember what I was animating on, and I would think that it could help other people with their own problems. Thanks!

I agree with this, but as a workaround you can make another layer and put a frame over your important frames in the layer below. But yeah sounds like an easy to implement (I assume) and useful feature :D
