Is there a way to specify the icon selection?
I mean i want only the nuke and anti-nuke icons to be changed, the rest i want to be default - how to do that?

Иконки по большей части готовы, так что выкладываю на общий суд.
unzip: c:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata\Advanced strategic icons.nxt\

I repaired the estorage icon that was broken by the latest gamepatch. It is for Medium size only, because I am too lazy to repeat the process for sizes I don't use myself.
Just download this file, rename its extension to ".nxt" and put it in C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata

(The forum won't let me upload the file, if the extension is already ".nxt")

Same problem as for the Sparky. Since the Unit Blueprint designates the same filename for Sparky/normal Engy as well as for ACU/SACU, these blueprints would need to be changed in order for it to work. That would also mean that this mod would need to get an update, otherwise one of the icons would be vanilla.
For this blueprint change to happen we would need to get the "officials" of FAF on board. (Or make a sim mod)

I want to distinguish between an enemy commander in a crowd of support units in order to attack him. How can shortcuts help me with this?

Those do seem like good ideas, but having a different icon for SACUs would be a major advantage over players not using the mod. Unless the change was made to the base game so that all players could get the same advantage.

Different icons for SACUs would have to be a sim mod / require a change to the base game. Shadows cannot do it in his mod because it would cause a desync.
I think it's a great idea.
Also different icons for land/air/sea/building experimentals.
Also different icons for hover/nonhover tanks.

Click that arrow and you can (de)select all kinds of range rings. For radar, omni, sonar, direct fire, TML range, etc. etc.

For non-Windows players the exe can be a full-stop to using this mod...

That is normal, as far as i know. You can change their size in the Options menu. If those annoy you, you might want to disable them / going back to default build menu icons (those few-pixels-wide, undistinguishable, near-invisible ones) and memorize the look of the unit in the build menu instead.
