Research direction

Start at the Tree View UI entry point where the red marker beside attributes is rendered. Review how its color is defined and determine a softer alternative that does not imply an error. Done means the attribute marker uses the agreed color and the Tree View remains visually clear.

Description

Thank you for this most useful application!

May I suggest a potential UX improvement? The red ball besides attributes in the Tree View could be of a softer color, because red may suggest that something is wrong.
