I did 'cause I just made some more screenshots :-)

I was thinking about the ReadOnly and Locked icons, and wondering
whether ReadOnly should really be bright red. That makes it look like a
danger sign, which it isn't at all. Both Locked and ReadOnly are
alternative representations for InSubversion.

ReadOnly just means 'This is OK, but you can't change it'.
Locked means 'This is OK, but you should really unlock if you've
finished'.

I quite like Mark's grey tick for Locked, as it looks like a greyed-out
InSubversion icon, although I can't help feeling that might be more
appropriate to ReadOnly. To me, greyed out suggests disabled, which is
the ReadOnly state. The Locked state is one that may require your
attention, so should be a bit more prominent.

I'm lacking in inspiration for what to actually use as good graphic
symbols for these. My inclination is a white-on-grey tick for ReadOnly
and a coloured (red?) padlock for Locked. But this is on direct conflict
with Subclipse.

Ideas?
