Income budgeting sign convention #1620

Currently if I want to track my posted income against an expected budget, I would use

2023-01-01 custom "budget" Income:Salary "monthly"                    -2500 USD

This reports the numbers properly. However, the /account/Income/changes/ table uses red if the expected income has not been received. For salaried employees with a reliable and consistent paycheck, I think it would be more logical to show unpaid income as green since it is "money yet to be received". On the other hand, I could understand that gig workers might prefer red (current behavior) since their budget represents a target number which doesn't always get met.

Considering the two different preferences, perhaps something similar to the invert-income-liabilities-equity option could be added which gives the option to flip the convention for income accounts?
