Use private sprite area? #12

Closed c-jo closed 2 years ago

This might mean doing our own icon drawing though.

If we do this, however we could put some adornments on the image to show that it's been shared.

eg. draw the icon and if the drive is shared add a small ShareFS 'S' top-right of the image.

ShareFS documentation on how to identify if the directory is shared:

The RISC OS Select style of indicator was a 'S' swish in the bottom right corner of the directories. I do not know how RISC OS 5 has provided the same indication. Since its icons are pretty inconsistent (IMO) and many of the styles use an isometric look, adding such an addornment would probably look bad on the directory, but fine on a Filer icon.

Can't use a private sprite area as you can't user redraw on the iconbar so the sprites will have to come from the wimp sprite area.
