I thought the horizontal bar alone would be indication enough, but you're
right. Since it's got the same colour as Modified, Modified doesn't stand
out well enough.

Good idea as well, but I'll create the grayed tick first. Maybe the tock is
good for the "classic" icon set.

Yes, XP-Straight, but that's probably not going to happen today, even though
it's not much work. I'm terribly short on evenings this time of year.

I'll create the grayed tick and the tock and copy them into the icon sets.

Not for German. I'll try to finish translating the text first.
