175710 - Favicons to show bug status

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Extension Ideas, enhancement)

Description

[Anthony DeRobertis]

It'd be nice to have seperate icons for the various bugs statuses. This would
work really well with them showing on tabs.

Suggestions:
   Unconfirmed    Greyed out; question mark; etc.
   New            Big, ugly, roach
   Re-opened      Roach colony
   Assigned       New + flash light shining on it
   Resolved       Squished version of new
   Verified       Nice, shiny, dino-dude
   Closed         [not used at b.m.o] closed door

These would help with questions like "where the hell did that tab with the
unconfurmed I was trying to dup go..." and "where did I put that search result?"

Note that this bug is related to bug 108898 (which requests per-bug user
assignable icons, ack!) and bug 132383 (which is having scope creap issues).

I'm pretty sure you could accomplish this currently if you edited the
global/site-navigation.html.tmpl template...

just check if bug.status is available to you and if so put in a <link rel="icon"
href="yourimagefile.gif"> based on the status.

Something along those lines....

Hmmm, if it's already doable, over to the mozilla.org product? Though having it
as a default would be nice.
