Hi,
As I've been using Sandboxie and keeping some applications only as sanboxed for security, sometimes same application with 1 unsandboxed and 1 sandboxed link, I saw the need for a way to distinguish between the sandboxed and unsandboxed links for the application...
Take my example with Firefox; I keep 1 unsandboxed for general and 1 sandboxed link for testing and other purposes. BTW since Firefox only allows one instance at a time AFAIK, Sandboxie is one of the solutions for "multiple" instances for Firefox. But keeping two icons/links on desktop or quick launch side by side can be quite confusing sometimes (can be kept seperate yet like many other I organize my icons due related functionality on desktop and quick launch)...
Thus thinking about a solution I came up changing/editing the icon as good as I could making "the" icon representing that it's a "Firefox running under Sandboxie" where the result is:
Looking at it I couldn't help myself thinking that "Can Sandboxie also modify/stamp icons by option indicating that they're sandboxed?"...
AFAIK Windows and some few programs (don't remember) can "overlay" small icons over application icons indicating origins/purpose. May Windows overlay be done in realtime, Sandboxie can simply create a new icon modifying the original icon putting its signature small icon resulting something similar/better than the example above. I know this kind of feature request is way below in the long waiting list but I think it's a good, meant-to-be, eyecandy feature which you or some contributer can implement in the (near;-)) future I hope...
Without more features (unless a bug) the current Sandboxie is way way better than the other programs providing similar functionality I've tried so far. Thanks for inventing such great program and thanks again for reading...
Bye
How about a distinguishing "Overlay Icon"?
