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?

I could not reproduce this in LabVIEW 2012. Attatched is my test project and class.

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

I'm not seeing this either. And yes Jeff, I do recognize that

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

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
