Hidden junction icon

When creating a junction and mark it as hidden, the "shortcut" icon of the junction is being replaced by the "exclamation point". It would be very useful if there was an extra icon denoting both states (a hidden junction - perhaps an exclamation point with a small shortcut at the lower right corner).

To clarify why i suggested this, i mainly use Brief mode, so <LNK> is not visible to me as is in Full mode. In any case, the icon would be more easy to understand.

I've resolved such issues with custom icon library with modified hidden overlay icon, looks (rightmost column) pretty good for me.

Thanks for the tip and for the link. In there, i discovered this:

with which i completely agree. This could be a little confusing for users without technical background though so perhaps there could also be an INI option to activate this icon.

TC has now thousands of external small tweaks like the one i'm asking. It would really be nice if at least some of them were included in TC.

You can easilly replce junction icon in an icon library... though hiddel overlay will still be drawn over it.
