The common solution for this is to add e-mail notification to the
workflow so the editor gets an e-mail as soon as he/she starts the
workflow.
If you really want to display different icon (or add a column) for the
page while it is being activated, you have to extend
WebsiteTreeConfiguration to do so and then specify it
at /modules/adminInterface/trees/website/configurationClass.
The few problems, i can think of right now, you would have to solve if
doing so are:
- not all users have rights to see content of workflow related
repositories, as it is not needed to invoke the workflow.
- depending on what you really want to display you might also have to
take care of the fact that certain items can be already approved, but
not yet published, because their publishing time is set for the future
(or they are already published, but workflow is still running since
there was expiration date set for given page)

The template information is stored in the MetaData subnode of the content as
mgnl:template
property. Perhaps best way to deal with it is to encapsulate search for
template in question
in separate command and add such command to the sequence of operations executed
as part of
the workflow. Look at activation command implementation for an example of how
to implement
the command.
