Hmmm... yes, that was my previous approach. I was setting a different text
color for every item status. It worked nice but it was hard to tell what did
a color mean.

Yes, overlayed icons would be cool, but the problem is that these icons are
quite small and I (we, i think I talked about that with alex, nico and
milian IIRC) considered it would look a little ugly to have these overlayed
icons.

Also the other problem on overlays was that we had to code everything (now
it will be easier though, with the new ProjectModel interface, it's not like
before that I had to do weird tricks with QStandardItem::icon()), I agree
this would be really cool though..

Does anybody know how do other IDE's deal with that sort of problem?
