Dynamic Icons

[Karlos]

Changing the icon image dynamically could be a bit of a hassle since it would actually involve modifying the .info files, resulting in a lot of disk extra accessing.

However, simply changing the colour is much easier. The icon.library could be patched to tint icons various colours depending on some user preference based on size or last modified parameters.

Isnt the VAM inbox icon an appicon? In which case it can change under program control.

Normal icons are simply .info files kicking around your drive (or default ones in your env:sys/).

I do think that intercepting icon.library calls to render the icons tinted a particular colour to indicate status is achieveable.
