Slow visual effect

This is just a minor thing really, but it kind of bothers me that in tiles, there's no indication that a monster's been slowed. Between the fact that there's no icon and the "no longer moving slowly" text isn't considered important, it can be easy to miss the fact that a monster's returned to normal speed. If just about every other status effect shows an icon above the monster's head, why shouldn't slow?

You can add this line to your init.txt file

force_more_message = is no longer moving slowly

So when this text appears on screen, you get a --more-- prompt.

But a visual effect would be nice, I agree.

Force more is a little much. After a little experimenting, adding either

msc = $warning:no longer moving slowly
msc = $danger:no longer moving slowly

to messages.txt works better, though I'd still like the icon.
