Showing unsaved status for document-based windows

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Ian,

In most document-based applications on Mac OS X, you will find a  
16x16 px icon in the title bar. If the document is saved the icon is  
bright and draggable. If the document is not saved, the icon is  
grayed out and is not draggable. This is a very useful feature, that  
I miss very much in Revolution.

And then there is the circle in the red close box, which has been  
mentioned already.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
