Special border for clued cards with [cm] note

I have lost multiple games because I was clued and mistook where the focus was because you can't visually tell the difference between clued cards and clued cards that were chop moved.

Make a unique border for cards that are clued and still have the [cm] note.

Can't really think of alternative solutions.

i am kind of against this because the more colors we add, the more confusing that the ui becomes, which is bad.
simple = good.
the typical flow to avoid this mistake is to use the left and right arrow keys so that you can easily see the game state before and after a clue.
this is useful because e.g. the black arrows are also hard to see. mis-seeing a black arrow would cause the same problem as the problem in the OP with the chop moved card.

I think what @benzloeb is trying to say is let the cards keep the white CM border instead of the gold play border and then move them "up" on the screen normally. They don't need a unique border. We have an onscreen cue for being clued, ie being raised.

i don't want to do that because in the h-group convention framework, a card ceases to be chop moved as soon as it is clued.
the border disappearing and changing to a normal clued border represents this.

Maybe it's worth it as a setting then (keep CM Borders) or something. We aren't saying that the card is CM'd. This is just an interface issue
