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.

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.

It already does that?So maybe locking a tab could mean 'lock the current view mode'. What do you think?

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