More updates to Combat Tracker!
This is now available in the Test channel.

Fixes
Characters on host combat tracker don't set background when targeted or untargeted.
In CT, when deleting the active combatant, the Current Turn arrow would disappear. It would reset to the top of the list when clicking the Next Actor button and sometimes throw an error.
I addressed a FEW other errors and layout issues.

Changes
CT should load a little faster now.
In Combat Tracker, there's no longer a persistent blank line in the Effects list. There's now add button for adding a new Effects. It appears when you click the display effect button.

New Features
Players can now remove their own Power effects from targets in Combat Tracker. When they do so, all targets of that Power will have their effects removed as well.
Players can now remove the following effects: Prone, Cover, Called Shot.
Setting / extension creators can add additional effects that can be removed by players by calling

ActionEffect.registerPlayerCancelEffect("effect name")

where "effect name" is replaced by the name of your effect. It supports pattern matching (regex).
This function call will return the list of player-removable effects:

ActionEffect.getPlayerCancelEffects()

On the host (GM) side, holding Alt when clicking the "remove effect" button will remove that caster's power's effect from all targets.
