Stupid non-coders question: How complicated would it be to introduce a third 
PNG? Use "mapwidget-marker.png" as default. When editing a dive site, then 
replace the current dive site with "mapwidget-marker-selected.png" and all 
others with a new "mapwidget-marker-gray.png".

If that is complicated, then not sure if it is worth the effort (in my view, 
small usability improvement, but not a major issue....)

I don't like the idea of using a different color. Although red flag with white 
diagonal is, at least outside the US, not an official signal, it is still 
commonly recognised all over the world....
