Now that's a pretty smart idea :-)
I thought that the "stop" sign I designed for readonly would be a good
indication for people to acquire the lock.

I can sketch a grayed InSubversion overlay for the XPStyle icon sets an
I think it'll look really good. but I want to raise a question first:
A grayed tick may look the same as the normal green tick for colour
blind people. Don't you think that a distinctive shape and colour
(octagon, horizontal bar) is the better solution?

Never mind. I'll create a grayed tick mark and we wait for feedback.
People can always use other icon sets or icons from other sets instead.
My favourite is the "Straight" set. I haven't used anything else, since
I designed it. I think I'll put a poll for the favourite icon set on our
web page ;-)

Cheers
