Weapon Grouping Colorization
I've been meaning to post this for a long time now and it keeps escaping my memory.
Default GUI environment text is selected if it is brighter than non-selected text. In most places in the interface, this is maintained. But on the weapon groupings screen a weapon is selected if it is dark red, and is not selected when it is white. Most of us vets figured it out pretty quickly, but alot of us had trouble with it at first. I think alot of the problems the newbies have (and tend to complain about as bugs here) relates to them misassigning thier weapon groups because the selection works backwords of how they think it is working.
It's not a big thing, but I think it would save you alot of headaches if you made white selected, and red unselected.
Of course, you will have some people who are used to the way it works now, but they'll get over it.

no no no!
Put a check box by the gun. Checked means it's for that group, unchecked isn't.

Gray, not selected
White, selected
Common, it's what everyone is used to!

Hot pink=selected

OK, I thought about exactly that when making the interface.
It's red because you can select multiple weapons.
You notice that selecting the group makes it white from grey.
I know the red selection is inconsistant with the red selection of the keyboard config panel.
So, grey->white if you can only select one thing at a time
white->red if you can have multiple things selected simultaneously.
The whole station menu system is just temporary anyways.
