How many +5 and gound net connections are there in your design?

I'm not sure I understand your question.  The default color scheme includes
a light brownish color for rats, and a true orange for "shorted nets" so
I can't tell which you are referring to.

Here's how I route power/gnd:  Mouse over a known net (ends of a polarized
cap are often easy) and then hit 'F'.  This 'finds' the matching nets and
turns them bright green.  This includes the matching rats.  This makes it
easy to see which ones to route.  If you have the netlist window up, the
'f'ind will also highlight the net in that window.
