This would IMHO require redesigning of this feature. Currently it is
based on icons (the flag is an icon) that you can change by placing
the file glyphs.bmp in TB's directory. To implement your idea in this
case, authors would have to add 256 additional icons to this -- bad
idea. If it wasn't based on icons then it would be easier. Or for
example this could be done so: one "common" icon (showing a flag or
whatever) which would have just an outline. The fill color would be a
special color that would be changed during displaying, according to
what color the user specified. The special color could be for example
#FFFFFE (nobody uses it anyway, since it's almost white). However it
would be done, it seems quite complicated...
Best regards,
