There are plenty of ideas for tweaking the military screen.  I haven't seen this one yet.

Have the military screen color the names of dwarfs in a unit based on status.

Normal == normal
Dark Yellow == wounded, walking in
Bright Yellow == wounded, needs to be recovered
Blue == wounded, resting in hospital
Red == in hospital, not expected to recover (i.e. lost limb)
Black == dead (so you can see how many the squad lost and locate their corpses before replacing them)

(Are blue/red redundant?  I patterned this on wound colors.)

The eligible members also get some color.
Normal == eligible for recruitment
Green == member of an existing squad
Pink == dwarfs' skills declared vital to the fortress

I made these colors up.  There may be better choices.

Expanding from the above, I'd like to color a few dwarfs from the labor screen, marking some for quick recruitment and some as essential civilians, instead of my current method of changing names.
