This is a Follow up Design task for #38573

Idea: When weight-paint colors are enabled with vertex selection (both editmode and weight paint mode), then show vertices in the active vgroup with a different color, even in wireframe mode. this way we can quickly step over vgroups and immediately see which vertices use that group.

Example (mockup):

vgroup_indicator.png

All vertices of the active vgroup are marked in dark pink (just an example). this allows to see in this case there are some stray vertices with zero on the right side of the mesh.

The markup color for 'vertices in active vgroup' could also be customized in the team settings.

Perhaps the vertices could be colored with the weights?
in conjunction with the Zero weights option, you could see black mesh with a blue dot, indicating a zero weighted vertex? (zero weights option has another issue, that you can't really see black verts/black mesh)dots.png
My image is a bit unclear, I'm playing with two seperate ideas; distinguishing zero weight and not belonging (black/blue, but we could also use the purple color for not belonging, and coloring the vertices with a slightly brighter color than than the faces.

Is there still interest of keeping this as a design task? (would kindly ask the module devs to make a decision here)

I had to configure a custom weight paint gradient because of this issue actually.

IMO This should be an overlay option, similar to show zero weights overlay

See related https://developer.blender.org/T93145

Coloring vertices is used for other things like selection and active status as well as others so it would be a can of worms.

An example of an overlay showing (in black) weights that are unassigned
