Color code for cores while rendering

This is not adding functionality in any way but I just thought it would be cool if when rendering in cycles while using GPU and CPU CUDA cores, the orange tile highlights showing which tiles are being rendering were color coded in some way to show which cores are GPU and which cores are CPU

Maybe you mean Render Tiles instead of Cores? It's a bit confusing ...

CPU doesn't use CUDA, but yup, totally on this one. I think it could even be asked in the papercuts .

* @-L0Lock- * what is the advantage of proposing something in the papercuts compared to proposing here? Thanks

* @-L0Lock- * yeah not CUDA I guess. Im fairly new to Blender so I dont know exactly how it works but what I mean is when you go to Edit > Preferences > System > CUDA, you can select your GPU and CPU and while rendering it shows all the cores working with the orange border so I just thought Itd be cool to see which core is GPU and CPU. I think you understand exactly what I mean anyway but just thought Id explain it :D

* @daniel.partzsch * papercuts are specifically small tasks that can be handled by people who just started programming on Blender. They are simple, quick to do and don't require any advanced mastery. It started with just small changes like missing labels, and it expanded to basically anything a newcomer dev could handle alone.

Advantage: such devs are hunting down papercuts to do... On the papercuts page. On RCS it's mostly aimed towards more advanced development. So it's just a matter of posting where you might be seen by the right people.
