Can you highlight filter pane when it's collapsed to show filters are in use?

Hello,

It's easy for users to overlook applied filters when the filter pane is collapsed.  Is it possible to change the filter pane color or highlight the collapsed filter to alert users when they have applied filters?

As far as I'm aware, it not possible to apply conditional formatting to the filter pane (but I like the idea of that approach!).

 

If it's helpful, instead we alert users by having a visual telling them what filters have been applied. This video was the inspiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kccmckYOmbw

Thanks, however this doesn't quite address my question.

It is to set conditional formating if a filter is applied.  For example, if I have a collapsed filter pane and don't have visibility to what filters are being applied, can I color code the collapsed filter pane as blue/yellow/ etc to highlight to the user that there are filters being applied.
