I worked whole 5 minutes on this picture and you don't like it?!?

I'm not aware of any limit of selected units. I for the unit selection 
view we could set some reasonable high limits (like 60 units). For the 
first 10 units we coudl have big pictures and then we could scale them 
down. More than ~60 units doesn't make sense IMO, since games in this size 
only get chaotic and aren't fun anymore IMO...

My sketch already shows some scrollbars :)

Of course this proposal has to be worked out a little more... And we'd 
badly need a good artist who could produce nice graphics for the bar. 
Someone knows a good artists who is willing to help an ambitious open 
source project? ;-)
