Locked tabs: distinguish by color, rather than symbols

And next wish about locked tabs.
..if it possible and not difficult - distinguish them by color, rather than symbols (* or ! as I do it)

For me the question here is if locked tabs should get a special treatment concerning the rules. I have a few locked tabs that have a specific icon (view mode defined) so I can recognize them faster. They all display their icon when I enter the tab root folder or one of its subfolders. But when I go a few level up the tab icon is gone. This is not a real problem as I'm still aware that I changed the path in this locked tab. The trouble starts when I move to another tab. In this case only the tab title helps but the icon (if any) is more confusing than it helps.
So maybe locking a tab could mean 'lock the current view mode'. What do you think? Other ideas to solve the mentioned problem?
Another advantage of this would be that I don't need to create an auto-switch rule.

I have icons too for now, but same directory in unlocked tab will have the same icon. In addition asterisk, icon etc takes extra space on tab that seeems as wastefull

This twinkey is practically unuseful thing, imho. I can't/want use something besides colorized folder tabs. It can't view standard drive and special icons and it can't view TC number format for volumes size. It crashed TC everytime I try insert flash w/opened TW combоbox. And do many strange things (starting with installation). So my initial wish still actual.
Of course, I cut off size of it down to 2MB, but, I think, It's overhead for colorized tabs only.

So, next, TWK lose the some of locked tabs highlighting, and, again, crashed TC if open new USB, while TWK categorized combo is on when USB drive inserted. TCb11/XPsp3
For now, I absolutely stop this plugin, it's ugly and buggy.

I think that is a good idea.

It already does that?

Nope
I, personally, still want only color assignment for locked tabs. As in TWK, or as foreground on background (it's better, i think, only w/o gradient fill).

I personally think that the adding a rule for auto-switch view mode with tab state can help in these situations!
