Count Pro/E sessions and change background colour accordingly

I'm trying to work out how to get Pro/E to change the background colour on start-up based on how many sessions are running (possibly by enumerating xtop.exe). I thought someone here might be able to provide a good starting point.

Reason being I like to have a visual indicator of which windows belong to each session. I do this using mapkeys to change the background colours. Nice and easy, but I'd prefer to have seemless automation of this feature and I think it may be handy for others too.

Think about a change to the .bat/scripting file in terms of looking at a file with a counter value in it and copying in a color file based on that counter. If the counter > number of color configs, then reset, otherwise add one and save the counter.
