Hi,
I have programmed a custom editor plugin for a programming language. The
lightweight decorator works fine for IFile resources in the package
explorer view.
But I would also like to be able to set the same decoration for the icon
that my editor itself uses. I have hooked up to editor change events and
it is in this context that I would like to be able to decorate the
editor icon at runtime. Does anyone have a plugin that does this or can
someone give a hint to how it can be done?

Any ideas on this? How can one either decorate the editor icon at
runtime or change it to something else?

I don't think this is possible right now. Please file an enhancement
request in bugzilla.
