I'm not averse to having to change stuff in themes (honest!) but rather 
than go about things this way, would it not be altogether better to add 
an extra filter to the 'upcoming recordings' screen to only show conflicts?

The scheme this change brings about only tells when the 1st conflict is 
- it might be 13 days and 12 hours down my list of upcoming shows - 
hardly ideal IMHO.

I think a nice '1 - All, 2 - Important, 3- Conflicts' option would be 
much more useful & easy to use instead,
