#53 Argument icons in tree should indicate for/against parent position
Current behaviour: argument icons in the tree are always a green pyramid.
Desired behaviour: argument icons should be different depending on their logical relation to the position immediately above them. E.g: Green pyramid for "for", red pyramid for "against", clear pyramid for others.
I realise this could be both (1) difficult to implement (because arguments can be nested multiply under positions they are both for and against), and (2) undesirable for other users. It would also be impacted by the resolution of ticket 49 regarding logical relations between positions and arguments.
Interesting idea. I actually don't think (1) is an issue because, at least in the tree, there will only be one parent for a given node. An argument with multiple parents will just appear as multiple nodes that could potentially have different icons. WRT (2), there could be a setting to switch back to a constant color. I like the idea of red indicating "against", but red is already used for positions. I wonder if it could be a different color like orange, or if positions should change to a different color.
