local zed windows are visually indistinguishable!
The basename of the target directory appears to be the ONLY thing that differentiates otherwise identical local windows in zed. This is not only annoying, it's a safety hazard because it makes it very easy to execute or publish code from the wrong project.
When working on local windows, I can't tell the difference between windows. I work on dozens of projects, and they have a similar structure like:
app
On remote servers, the name of the server appears in the window title. But for a local project, every single window is named "app".

Obviously the display facility exists because the remote SSH server mode exploits it (as shown below in my first screenshot).
Feature Request 2
This works in the main settings but not on a project level:
Ideally I could set project-level colors to help me differentiate projects.
Example Screenshots
