Shuttered windows - behave exactly like doors - but with a window icon

Simply add a choice to use a window icon instead of a door icon, so the players know there is a window - that is shuttered or has a curtain.

Hi John S.,  I apologize for being confused by this suggestion. How is this different from the current window option? 

Currently windows are either open or closed, but in both cases they are transparent. I believe that the request is asking for an additional condition (shuttered/curtained) that would make the window opaque, like a closed door.

Yes - when players come upon a building that is shuttered, or curtained from the inside. It is a window - and should be shown to be such, but not transparent. The same as a door - but marked as a window for identification.

Why not go further with this idea? Let's implement the ability to hue the windows so that, if they are closed, a token's vision would be coloured similair to a coloured light source. Then add some more options like oppacity, cleanliness and blur that would Opaccity - Lower/Increase how much the window is painted. Blur - Lower how far a token can see through the window (wich could then simulate closed shutters). Though for a ready-now solution you could put a wall behind the window, colour it to easily distinguish it from the (propable) surrounding wall lines and shift it through the gm and light layer when needed.

That's a  lot  of complexity added to what is currently a pretty simple function, although it would be very useful for anyone wanting that level of detail inn their maps.

Currently, I simulate curtains with a one-way DL barrier on the "interior" side of a window. This simulates someone inside a room to be able to "peak out the curtains" while blocking visibility into the room from the outside.

Personally, I think a more complex solution is beyond what I'd want to deal with. The ability to change the icon from door to window would suffice. This way, when a character enters a room, they know right away whic are windows and which are doors. Same from the outside.
