Make MCM's (slightly) easier to use across save files (without making a settings loader) Skyrim (SE)

I was wondering if it might be possible to create a mod for Skyrim that could enhance the user experience with Mod Configuration Menus (MCMs). My idea is a mod that highlights or points out MCMs that haven't been opened yet or are new. For example, using red for unopened, yellow for new (just added/loaded), and white for opened MCMs. I understand that adding a color system might be a bit tricky, especially when a newly loaded/added MCM is also unopened. My suggestion for that is to have it show the MCM as yellow only the first time you open the settings after it was added, and then turn red if you close the settings without opening the MCM.

Every time I see a "registered X new MCM menus" in the top left corner, I go in to the settings and only see 1 new one if that, and I can't tell if I'm just blind or if the output log made a mistake. This mod would help me finally figure out which one it is (which would probably be that my eyes are s#*!). It would also be super helpful to check all the MCMs you have when starting a new game to see if there are any settings you think need changing. I know it should just be "duh, when you start a new game, just check all of them you dope," but after the 7th or 8th MCM I start to get confused on what I have and haven't opened. I keep a notepad with the changes I should make to the MCM options to make everything work right, but its a bit clunky and a simple highlight would do wonders for my tiny brain. 

This would also be simpler than having setting loader mods for each mod and be helpful for people who want to change a bunch of settings between each playthrough (I know I do).

I'm not well-versed in Skyrim modding, so I'm not sure about the feasibility, but considering the creative mods the community has come up with, I thought it might be worth suggesting.

Thanks a lot for your time and consideration!
