Green header = Unread, new message.
The green dot indicates that there are unread messages in the topic.
The @ symbol indicates that you were mentioned in the post (or topic, depending on if the
topic is "closed")
And the Star is the "subscribe" function. It's like watchlisting, but for
single topics.
As far as tooltips go, they existed in earlier versions but they were incredibly annoying
so they were removed.

OK. First, looks pretty good. Nice work! I have
just one comment: There are
quite a lot of symbols with not much explanation. What's the difference
between the conversation having a star on it, having a dot above the
collapse arrow, and having an @ symbol on it? Also, why are some usernames
green and others gray?
I've had the same impression as Tyler; there's a lot of noisy symbols there with
no explanation. It would be bearable is they had tips displayed on hover (using the
"title" HTML attribute), but still quite annoying.
Less icons, please? Feel free to replace them with some text :)
