I noticed that pak.Britain (and some others) have yet to include the icons shown in the bottom-right to indicate various statuses (e.g. network mode, timeline mode, fast-forward and pause). The icons for these can just be the same as the pak64 ones since they won't vary in size and a consistent icon for this will help to avoid confusing players.

I've modified the following two files from the SVN on Sourceforge to include the icons from pak64, I haven't tested compiling them but they should work exactly the same as the pak64 ones in theory.

Timothy,

thank you for doing that. However, when I test them, there seem to be some difficulties: the background to the symbols appears in blue, rather than the grey of the title bar, and when the connected to server symbol is displayed, the blue background seems to obliterate the calendar symbol: the same goes for the fast forward and pause symbols.

Grr, probably the application I used to modify the images saved the blue as the wrong colour so it isn't transparent. I'll do it again tomorrow. (I didn't test it since it seemed such a simple modification...)

Thanks!  Time is somewhat limited at the minute, but I'll add it when I next get chance.
