Dreamwidth style system discussion

I'm using customized tiny icons instead of the usual tiny icons for private, filtered, etc. entries and I noticed that while the tiny icon for custom groups works fine, the tiny icons for private entries and filtered entries repeats. Ideally, the tiny bento box should only appear beside the date and time.



( Relevant code under the cut. )

My second question is, is there any way to remove the "expand all cuts" option from the sidebar?

Any help would really be appreciated.
