Replied by sozzled on topic K 2.0: Original topic icon replaced when topic is locked
Thank you for a very good question! 
The short answer is that when you lock a topic one of the following two images replaces the original topic icon:
or
That's just the way it works. You can change it - but do not ask me how - if you want to roll up your sleeves and get clever modifying the PHP code.
During the development of K 2.0 we considered many ideas about how we could improve the topic icons that have remained, almost unchanged, since the project began 4 years ago. It was our intention to improve the topic icons in several ways that had never been done before and to improve the overall cosmetic look of the forum.
Ideally we had hoped that, when K 2.0 was released publicly, topic icons would operate in a "smarter" way than before. We did not really want to completely replace the original topic icon (in the way that we're discussing your question) but there was not enough time to improve things in another way. We think that the final result is an improvement on previous versions of Kunena although we acknowledge that it's not perfect.
One of our plans is to leave the original topic icon unchanged and simply overlay a "padlock" image. There are other possible uses for various topic "flags" too and here is a selection of some of our ideas:
As I mentioned earlier, we did not have enough time to implement these ideas before releasing K 2.0. This is something that we would like to change in the next major release if we have time to do it.
