Unless you really want to see who has a bounty, but this is mostly useless information under the current bounty system.
If you really want to see who has a bounty, you can check "Pilot has bounty on him", but with the current free-for-all on bounties, this could severely clutter up your overview.

#Right click on '''Pilot is in limited engagement with you''' [[file:ColorTagBG-Red.gif|Red Background]] and change the color to orange [[file:ColorTagBG-Orange.gif|Orange Background]].
This last step is to distinguish outlaws from war targets, since allies can sometimes appear as outlaws. With the above settings, orange flashy and the traditional red flashy are both shootable targets - you won’t get CONCORDed if you fire upon them.  
#Right click on '''Pilot has a security status below -5''', '''Pilot is criminal ''', and '''Pilot is a suspect ''' and select '''Toggle blink'''. The items that are selected should now be blinking.
#Right click on '''Pilot has a security status below -5''' [[file:ColorTagBG-Red.gif|Red Background]], and '''Pilot is criminal ''' [[file:ColorTagBG-Red.gif|Red Background]] and change the color to yellow [[file:ColorTagBG-Yellow.gif|Yellow Background]].
Steps #5 and #7 distinguish anyone you can legally attack from war targets, since allies can sometimes appear as low security status/criminals/suspects (formerly outlaws). With the above settings, orange flashy, yellow flashy and the traditional red flashy are shootable targets - you won’t get CONCORDed if you fire upon them.  


Outlaws and war targets are the only two types of players you can attack in high sec space. The above settings will remove background from everything except the most important targets, allowing you to instantly see who to attack.  
War targets, those in an engagement with you, those with security status below -5, criminals and suspects are the only types of players you can attack in high sec space. The above settings will remove background from everything except the most important targets, allowing you to instantly see who to attack.  


It is important to set backgrounds in the same order as colortags in case you decide to check them to make them more visible on the overview. This can be very helpful in wormholes to make it easier to see neutrals warping into your grid.
