[ARES6] Active Running Test indicator (dot) is too subtle

- The small gold dot is too subtle
- This is especially significant for those unfamiliar with the page. Since results update again and again for later runs, the dot is too subtle to indicate a test is being run again

Possible improvements:
- Alongside the dot, update the title text of a test when it is active (white, gold, or some contrasting color)

I'm a fan of what JetStream does here by highlighting the background text of the test running.

FWIW, I've heard from many people that they didn't understand what the dot was for, or didn't even notice the dot was there.

[PATCH] White Title

I rather like just having a white title. It makes it immediately obvious. Here is a starter patch if you want to go that route.

    .test.running h2 {
        color: #ffffff;
    }

The invert was something like:

    .test.running h2 {
        background-color: #E7B135;
        color: #2C2C3C;
    }

The page only used a few colors though so I didn't want to stray.

You probably have better ideas. =)
