SUMMARY
It would be handy to have timecode display in Monitors a little more "findable"
at a glance, while editing.

For this to happen I think of mainly two cosmetic changes:
1. Use a bigger font type with a stronger body (a bolder one).
2. Find a way to highlight the currently used timecode (that is, the clip or
timeline one, depending on which panel is the current one). Perhaps by using a
tinted background?

I find this proposal more needed when editing in the timeline, because the eyes
are posed over that lower part of the screen (the timeline), while the timecode
counter is changing "silently" elsewhere (in the timeline monitor); so I think
that having a somewhat more prominent "landmark" to quickly take your eyes to,
would result in an improvement of the awareness of it.

As a bonus, this proposal would also help in distinguishing the real "live"
timecode, from that other timecodes present at the timeline toolbar, that my
eyes were continually headed to when I started using the program, but where not
was I was really looking for (the timecode in the monitor was it).

Thanks for listening!
