Can you give Sticky it's own Thread Icon?

[pr0sthetic]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a mod or could assist me with the following:

Firstly let me define my terminology - Thread Status Icon, meaning the icon to the left of a thread that indicates if there is new posts, no new posts, hot post, etc.

Right now, by default, stickies in a given forum are marked with a small sticky note to the top right of the thread status icon. I don't mind that being there. However, many of my forum stickies are also locked, so they have the "Locked" thread status icon and are located at the top of the forum. I don't want the thread status (new posts, no new posts, hot, locked, etc) to impact the icon that appears for a sticky post.

How can I ensure that a thread marked as sticky is given it's own specific status icon. I've been wresting around with the templates but can't seem to find what specific edits are working.

Thanks so much for any help that can be offered!!
