OK, some specyfication:

Green bar (out turn) is always all green and not share bar for characters:


Red bar (enemy turn) is red (enemies moved) and bright red and share bar for enemies:


Blue bar (civilians turn) is blue (civilians moved) and bright blue and share bare for civilians:

It's a nice idea, but we should probably do it our own way (slightly different) so we don't copy another work.  Therefore I think it would be best to do something close to this but not exactly the same.

well, different colors per number of moved actors is cheat. And don`t forget about MP.

I think we can move panel team_selection down, and place new panel with current turn information to its place.

The thing I'm not sure about how to detect how much of the alien turn has passed.

Just put a small indicator light somewhere, like near the "End turn" button.
A big bar is an overkill for this IMO.

No, please without cheats. Just simple colored bar, with status message on it. This will be enougth.

Kildor, could you explain why you consider this kind of status bar cheating? (I don't think it would be required, just out of curiosity)

If the turn bar tells you how many aliens left, it's a cheat. I think that was in Kildor's mind. ( But I could fail. I'm not good at mind reading in such big distance. :D )
