Research direction

The payload names no files, so begin by locating where per-satellite settings are stored and where the satellite track or marker is drawn in the GTK3 interface. Decide with maintainers how users pick a color and whether it persists. Done means a user can assign a distinct color to each satellite and see it on the display after restart.

Description

It appears there is no way of assigning different colors to different satellites.
If that true can this be added as an enhancement in the future?
