change gani sprite color

[jake13jake]

I'm having trouble figuring out a way of how I should determine whether another player is paused or not rewriting the nick display system. The idea that makes the most sense to me would be graying out the player, or making him/her partially transparent. However, we can't change image part on a gani so I'm a little bit stuck. Another idea would be to have different sprites in the gani fade in/out at unique trig-based intervals. However, we don't have that power either.
That's why I'm suggesting it :P. I'm pretty sure that a changeimgcolors for a showani is already being worked on, but a change sprite color would be even more impressive.
