Unexpected yet delightful little glyph

Working in the LabVIEW Project tree today I suddenly saw that one of my virtual folders had an icon a little different from the rest....

After a little investigation I've learned that a Virtual Folder with the string "message" at the beginning causes a delightful little envelope glyph to appear over the drab grey folder icon.

 

I can't find any documentation to explain this, and I can't see a reason for any of my installed toolkits to do this, so I was wondering:

What other automatic glyphs might be overlaid for virtual folder names with particular content?

This might be a bit Greek.  Does this look familliar?

My vague recollection is that this is done by one of the external project providers, possibly Symbio's GDS.

I'm using LV2011, no Greek here, but I do have Symbio's GDS installed! It must be that!?

I think its something due to the Actor Framework.

 


Just re-read you are only using 2011, then I am sure it is GDS that is doing it. They also have the ability to change the glyphs for classes, which can be fun to mess around with
