What do the icons (Flag, Quotation, Tennis Ball, Magnet, Champagne,...) mean?We use some icons to show message status etc. These all have an explanatory tooltip, which appears when you hover the mouse over it: [Try it: ].
In stealth/secret/mobile modes, the icons are replaced by simpler versions, such as [F] or *.
