Estuary MOD – Recording status indicator

Small, simple but very effective and efficient modification.

The principle – icon of clock in the top bar indicates recording status.

The icon shows three possible states:

1. no current or future scheduled recording – no clock icon

2. no current recording and one future scheduled recording at least – clock icon in skin theme basic color

3. currently ongoing one recording at least – clock icon is red

Skin file Includes.xml, code and number of the lines is applicable for Estuary MOD 1.7.9
