FEATURE REQUEST - Maintain tab color after detach & re-attach in tmux (also, maintain order of tabs?)

Having colored tabs is a nice feature, especially when used with the large number of tmux tabs/windows I often have open on my primary development machine. I love the tmux support provided by iTerm2 so that I can just join on in to my previous session in a native iTerm2 window/tab configuration. However, when detaching and re-attaching to tmux the colors of the tabs/windows do not persist. Often times, for whatever reason as well, the order of the tabs are askew and incorrect from tmux reattachment to reattachment. Tabs that were in various windows and grouped together are then no longer properly grouped. Also I will notice that sometimes the tmux dashboard will ask me to choose whether or not to open tmux windows in tabs or windows, and to choose which to do what action to. iTerm2 should remember all of this.

So ultimately the following features would be nice:

  1. Maintain tab position and remember which tmux were tabs and which were windows, so that not only do tab groups open properly in their group windows (e.g. I may have three windows, each with tabs all related to some task like development or administration) but the tabs are ordered the same;

  2. Tab names persist from reattachments;

  3. Tab colors persist from reattachments.

Thank you! Brandon
