Differentiate icons for GOPs/missions at the bottom of geoscape #153

Open ansabalirai opened 5 years ago

Creating this as a separate issue from #87 to keep track. It is indeed a low priority enhancement, but having played many hours of late game LW2, I would suggest is to at least be able to differentiate between missions that are currently being infiltrated and ones that aren't. I know that hovering over them shows a squad name for the ones which are being infiltrated, but I wonder if a better way could be maybe add a glow around those or at least change their color from green (to yellow or something) to be able to tell them apart quickly.

As a reference, going through the workshop, I found this mod which, among other things, seems to introduce new mission icons for different GOps on the geoscape.

At the very least, the icon variants of the same mission icon can be used to differentiate which mission is being infiltrated (e.g. in red) and which one needs a squad to be deployed (e.g. in green)

Perhaps you know enough now to do this? :smile:
