#128845 adds the ability to indicate brushes with unsaved changes with the goal of reflecting that in the UI. It's not entirely clear how we want to do that.

Tool Settings Header

Indicate with * character after the brush name:

Asset Shelf

Indicating changed brushes in the asset shelf isn't trivial code wise, so leaving this out of the design for now. If wanted we can add it still.

Sidebar/Properties

Proposal by @pablovazquez was to put the indicator in the panel header, since otherwise the layout might have to jump. Here we could also choose to make it a button to save the changed asset, not just an indicator.

A few options:

Label button Label only Icon-only button Icon + label button

Icon + label seems nice to me
