Color code XYZ to match gizmo color

As a new person to 3D world, it is hard for me to remember what color the X Y and Z letters are in iClone.  If I want to tweak a movement I have to go into the scene and pick the gizmo and move it to see what color moved the letter value in the side panel.  I can't see why this would be a difficult thing to do and would help new users to the system get up and running faster.  If the letter colors in the side bar can't be colorized, then maybe we can add the letters to the gizmo?  Maybe they are already there on the gizmo and I just don't see them.

Thanks,

Colour-coding is generally good, but unfortunately, the axis in iClone is what's known as 'Tits-Up'  meaning it's axis is rotated flat on it's back (a system generally used for CNC machines etc).
The axis system iClone uses is the wrong one for 3D software, and blender is another program burdened with the same problem and no way to change it in preferences - something I desperately hope they'll fix.

So unless you're used to working the wrong way, colour-coding could actually make the experience worse for you if you expect Green to be vertical as it should be.  In Blender, for example, I tired recolouring the axis so that Green is Up, but in the end I still settled on having all axis the same colour cause it was still infuriating in some situations - it's not a real fix for the problem.

Correcting the axis in these programs is really the only real way to fix them.

Yes, that's right, they are wrong, thanks to the industry-standard corporate manipulators they took their cues from.
