Why is it you can make the little icons work perfectly with right colours etc to show war targets but the background colour seems to dispaly any colour it likes
So u lock a war target because it is red and it turns out to be neutral, the settings on my overviews are set perfectly but the background colours display random colours because you can close overview reopen it and it dispays yet another set of colours
Surely if you can get the little icons working perfectly then set the background colours off the small icons

yes but a small icon in empire with about 100 on overview is difficult to spot but a nice red bar is obvious but its just is not working

I agree, I only noticed this last night. People were showing as red (enemy) when they should hav ebeen showing as blue.
I think it was Redundancy that mentioned the benefits of having a finely tuned overview, and background colours play a big part in that for me. But like the OP says, they're bugged (along many other aspects of the UI).

Yeah, I'll add my free bump to this topic. Until recently I never had the colour tags on and played purely with the background colours. I finally got so wound up with them being randomly wrong that I tried out the colour tags. I was astonished to find they all showed the right colours, regardless of what the backgrounds were doing. Surely they're both using exactly the same info to work out which colour/tag to display?

Keep the backround, but add the little icon also  . Then you can find the wartargets easily, but you won't lock the wrong. Problem solved  .
Still would be a nice fix though.

Posted this before, myself and it NEEDS fixing. Great that you guys post workarounds (like not using this feature) but the fact is, it's a bug and needs fixing.

Don't hold your breath. The earliest screenshot I have of these overview bugs is March 2005, but it has been broken since exodus.
I have seen:
War enemies shown as gang members
War enemies shown as alliance members
War enemies shown as corp members
War enemies shown as neutral
Corp members shown as war enemies (this makes you very unpopular!)
Corp members shown as alliance members (rather than corp)
Corp members shown as neutral
Alliance members shown as war enemies
Alliance members shown as corp member
Planets shown as war enemies (this one gave me quite a fright)
Planets shown as gang members
and the worst one of all:
Jump gates shown as war enemies. Concord anyone?
Yes I have bug reported it before. When trying to get the problem fixed more recently the bh were not interested unless they were from the latest test build, not easy to do as you need lots of different types of target to get tagged for the bugs to be identified.

Just to add to the fun, the overview does not always bother to show ships at all. :/

zomg zomg, imagine if your primary weapon system didnt work properly, those buggy overview things you see you couldnt shoot at.
they attack things they shouldnt, sometimes dont fire, sometime (omg) fire slower
now imagine drones in their current state
edit: sorry for the hijack :(

I only get this when I have corp/+ive/etc on my overview, and they shouldn't even be there when you're actively pvp'ing non corp members.

It doesn't bug as much if you only use one or two colours. I only have them on for -10's and war targets.
I don't think you trust, in, my, self-righteous suicide. |

I have a bug where some pilots don't show up in overview at all.
It's about half of the pilots that don't show up for some reason. Like yesterday we had an engagement and our commander called two blackbird pilots primary and secondary target. When we warp in only one of the two shows up in my overview. An odd thing about this bug is that it seems to be related to the pilots rather than ships or even random, so it's not just an issue with the overview uppdating. Some of the hostile pilots that is frequenting the 0.0 system me and my corpmates usually guards never shows up on my overview no matter what ship they are in. And when the bugged pilots ship goes down his pod doesn't show up either. Wich sometimes ends up with me trying to lock the pod by clicking in space and ends up shooting down the loot can.
To say the least I am starting to grow tired of missing out on ship kills and having commanders yelling at me for shooting down cans instead of pods. As a pvp pilot this gimps my game seriously and I know I'm not the only one having this bug. I have talked to many pilotes that have the same problem.
Fix it CCP

This bug is old, I use icons and backgrounds and it can get confusing.
I live in 0.0, so I turn off corp members/alliance/+10/+5, that way the only people I see are neutrals and lower. Meaning that if they are on my overview, I can shoot at them.

Btw is there already an option to filter neutrals out, so that only people with set standings and war targets are displayed ?

Turn off alliance/corp/gang/+5/+10 in overview, that way only potential targets will appear
I discovered a few days ago that I had apparently declared war on my own drones

Yes, I usually do that in 0.0, but I was thinking about empire war. Don't want to have the neutrals at the gates in my overview. They are no potential targets for me in hi-sec.

I've noticed it when I'm travelling a lot, it seems to be a lag problem. I could see an orange guy in one system and after 2 jumps I could still see him on my overview (even though he ain't there), the next jump he's gone but whatever is in the overview where he was has an orange background for a few more jumps.

I guess I forgot to say that the two BB pilots were from the same corp with the same standing and so on. And yes i have tried to fix the problem by changing overview settings. Believe me, I'm not exactly new to using my overview. The problem appeared with the RMR patch. Also I have tried to reinstall EVE alltogether.
