Different colors for ahead/behind time in bug game

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be far easier to tell which player is up or down time in a
bughouse game if it were possible to customize the color of the clock that
is up/down diagonal time.

This is one of the new features Ludens added into Thief. I agree it would be 
nice.
Changing to to an enhancement and I will look into seeing if I can get it into 
the
Alpha release.

Thought about it some more and this is going to be difficult to pull off.

For one raptor uses inactive/active clock colors to show you whose move it is. 
By
adding the uptime/downtime colors you will lose this ability and complicate 
things.

If anyone has any ideas on how to implement this please post them in the 
comments
section. For now i am going to assign it to the beta milestone.

Talked to Ludens about it and we had a pretty good idea for this. Add an icon 
before
the lag label if your team is up time. A green up arrow would be nice.

I think best idea is background of timer show up/down. And color of numbers show
active/inactive.

Ok I will probably add both options. I think the background looks really bad
graphically but it is probably the easiest way to tell.

Changed my mind on the background colors. I really don't like that its too
distracting. I did add an up indicator arrow though. If it really is not enough 
let
me know and I will add in an option to change the background colors.
