108897 - per-component icons that show up in buglists

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement)

Description

It would be really great if I could identify components by icon, so that I could
glance at my buglist and see "oh! I have a lot of security bugs today" or "Oh
man the build system is hurting" very quickly. I guess all you'd have to do is
associate a component with an image.

Another way to do this would be with CSS - you just put a
class="<escaped-component-name>" somewhere around the component line, and then
you just have some CSS rules that map classes to images.. another advantage of
this would be that the CSS could be cached on the client so you wouldn't have to
keep sending "<img src=".....">" tags

one additional feature would be for the per-component icon to appear as the site
icon for the bug (i.e. with <link rel="icon"...>

there's already a bug about css style support, iconography for bugs would be
amusing.

I have to agree, here. You can simply display the component column in buglists and you get the same result. Icons are hard to understand for most users.
