I'd like to see some indicator for the colonist icons at the top of the screen showing whether they are under automatic or manual control.

Perhaps if colonists are set to manual control, the colonist icon at the top of the screen gets a light blue outline.

Under the character icons along the top of the screen are their names; if they are recruited and under direct control of the player, then those names will be underlined.

Ah, yes. I loaded the game up and saw the names underlined, which I hadn't noticed before. I would still like to see some indication on the icon which would make it much more obvious and easy to see at a glance or in one's peripheral vision. The underlining of names is quite small and one really has to look for it to notice it.

I'm thinking that the top of the screen icons, when under manual control, have a light Synthread-blue outline, or the whole background of the icon is highlighted in light Synthread blue. Or there's some symbol on the icon, that's easy to notice, like the timer symbol, crossed swords or medical symbols and so on.
