i created a new skin this morning for an experiment, and the icon is there, so it must have been a glitch,  but very weird!!

hmm okay, the problem is still there. this is what i did:

I created a new skin and then applied all the parts to it, redid the font, and margins ect. but as soon as i applied the skin, the search icons are missing again in the startmenu search window. they are showing in the explorer window but.

Neil...why do you think this is happening?...this is a real little bugger...

when i apply other skins, the icons are there, this is so bizare, its almost like they dont want to work for this pc...

ps: my bottom bar is only 31 high, so i know thats not the reason..

experiment #2> just created a new skin, and checked to see if the search icon was present in the searchbar window in the startmenu. yes it was. I applied my new userpane and applied it. the search icon had dissapeared.....

 

experiment #3 created a new skin, added a userpane from another skin and applied, the icon is there.........so it could be a

corruption from me somewhere............. bummers.....
