Wishlist/User Interface Improvements/SetToDefault

It would be great to have visual clue about what parameters of the tool have been changed from default.
For tools with expanded interface like Text+, ColorCorrector 3D tools etc. it would be also nice to have some indication on the tabs and control groups.

Currently, only the Slider and Screw controls have the visible "Set to Default" feature rendered as a gray dot.
I believe, it was made so to have the reset function and the default value position in one, and only sliders and screws have space for that gray dot. The other controls like Range, Checkbox, Multibutton, Color still don't represent any indication about being altered.

I would suggest to put such gray dots next to all the input names on the right.
Clicking on the dot would reset the input, or if the dot against the group of controls name was clicked, the whole group (Color, 3D position, 2D Offset) would be reset. The same for the Label controls and tabs: clicking on the dot would reset all the inputs which are included (resetting the Label control collapsed/expanded state doesn't make sense to me).

Another suggestion - to display the changed parameters' names in bold and reset them by double-click on the name (like in Adobe Light Room).
