No replace the icons like it is now is ok with me
(that is exactly what I am looking for).

We "simply" need to have the possibility to add 2 other graphics per forum.
One for no new posts and one for closed

Placing icons next to it can be done like this:

Create your graphics and name them ForumID.png (e.g.: 2.png)

Then place

<img src="http://www.yourForum.com/images/statusicon/$forumid.png" alt="" class="sectionImages" />

next to

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

in the templates
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

depending on where you want it.

If you want to modify something via css, create an additional css entry for .sectionImages

Hope this helps

ps: I use this methode for my forum images here: http://www.patientenfragen.net
Just the placement is a little different
