The amount of engineers/scientist doing nothing.
Not sure which one is before the colon and which one is after.

As I've learned today it is the slacking indicator (c) Solarius Scorch.
Also known as "the amount of scientists and engineers doing nothing" (c) R1dO.

Unassigned specialists are shown above the INTERCEPT button in a neat way since X-Com Files 2.4, see this message in The X-Com Files thread.

Nice feature.

This is a core functionality of OXCE though, not of XCF:

https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=8203.0

Position/color can be changed in interface.rul

Code: [Select]
interfaces:
  - type: geoscape
    elements:
      - id: slackingIndicator
        color: 244   # even lighter blue
        color2: 133  # minty green
        custom: -12  # above Intercept button


Structure of the indicator can be changed via translations:

Code: [Select]
STR_SLACKING_INDICATOR: "{0}:{1}"
where {0} is number of slacking scientists and {1} is number of slacking engineers.

The indicator itself can be enabled/disabled in the options or via oxceEnableSlackingIndicator: true/false in the config.
