If I understand that part of emacs (you speak of the ``fringe'' btw), there is little chance to do this (and Simons idea of indicating encryption state in the fringe). The only possible pixmaps in the fringe seem to be coded in C and are: * line is wrapped (that \ replacement in the right fringe, the same thing horizontally ?mirrored/reflected? * mode a -> arrow as replacement for $ when overlong lines are not wrapped (how's that mode called?) and again a ?reflected? version for the left fringe * the triangle used in debuggers (graphical replacement for the overlay-arrow-bla) and of course recent gnus' summary buffer. * I thought I'd remember 7 glyphs...where's that source CD...can't find it... * it's in something like src/xdisp.c... I didn't read it carefully, so please prove me wrong Martin
