While I appreciate and agree with the necessity of the sync checkmark, I think it is excessively large to the point of being clumsy and unsophisticated. I know it is largely subjective, but I like to keep my Dropbox folder open on my second screen and the glaring sea of green blobs covering my icons has the effect off making it difficult to find the one I am looking for.
I would like to have a more sophisticated little green dot that would do the job.
