So, what do you think ? Is this a direction you'd want org-mode
to go ? Please, share your feedback & suggestions !

 I think that the main interest of this will not only be to make a
buffer pretty, but to show information in ways which are easier or
more comfortable to understand.
 For instance:
- showing completion status of a task: icons could form a progress
bar, like [XXXX..], green if >50%, red elsewhere

Nice.

- marking the tasks with a color from a gradient which represents
something; for instance: the more recently you have clocked a task,
the redder (hotter) it is

Well, not so useful, I think.

- the amount of children/text a collapsed tree has (a big lack I have
noticed in org-mode). The icon could try to offer a
mini-representation of whether the tree has little content, some
content, or much content

Very useful, but expensive to implement.

- in agenda view, an „only icons“ view would be able to show much
information in little space. For instance, the distribution of
projects/categories/tags in a month


Just some ideas.

I am beginning to see that this could in fact be useful,
thanks for your post.
