sometimes a battle can get messy with icons, drones are a big contributor to this, with the new icons the drones look alot more like ships so i suggest the ability to have a separate background colour for drones, 1 option for enemy drone colour and 1 option for friendly drone background colour would be great, thanks,

You know I'm fairly sure you can already do this on the overview setup menu.

EvE-Uni Overview Guide

Setting up a separate drone tab is also really useful.

you missed the point, separate tabs is nothing to do with background colours, i want to be able to look in space and see ships and drones having different background colours

Oh, fair enough.

The overview is a damn sight easier though, especially when you consider the best way to improve client performance in a big fight is to turn off all brackets.

Small fights yes couldn't agree more, 500 to 2000 on grid I would disagree.

Mind you thats not really my problem any more as its rare to be in a fleet larger than 15 - 20 nowadays, much more interesting and much nicer all round.
