OT "New" icon that changes color after visit like

[mo]

Apologies for taking advantage of this rich pool of Java gurus!

You know the "new" that people place on their home pages to indicate new material on their sites? I would like to be able to have such a thing on a page on my site but which say used a folder to indicate a new item and that folder changed color after the page was visited...pretty much like a "read topic" on this forum.

Is such a thing as this available?
