    Without any more info I can only guess. What does the arrow icon look like (screenshot)? Maybe you have an plugin ID collision. Are you using MSG_GETCUSTOMICON to display custom icons? Please post the code of the plugin registration.

    cheers,
    Matthias

    this is the code:

    Bool Register_orgaLine(void)
    {
     GePrint("- orgaLine");
     return RegisterObjectPlugin(pluginID,pluginName,OBJECT_GENERATOR|OBJECT_INPUT,orgaLine::Alloc,"OorgaLine","orgaLine.tif",0);
    }

    and here is how it looks (top r11.5, bottom r11) :

    cheers,
    Ello

    btw, pluginID is from PluginCafe

    Hm, sorry, I have no idea what could cause this. The arrow icon is unknown to me.

    Maybe there is another plugin that registers the icon beforehand with the same id? try to temporarily remove all other plugins you have installed in r11.5.

    thanks for your input. there is no other plugin in the folder. i am using the demo, but it also happens to my betatester. i probably can live with it, but i'd still like to know why this is happening.

    cheers,

    I've had something similar.
    Check if you're returning FALSE in PluginMessage (main.cpp).

    Oh wait, I read too fast.

    My problem was that the icon didn't show up at all. Automatic icon replacement never happened to me :) Sorry.

    Cheers again.

    Could it be a problem with the icon bitmap itself? Have you tried another icon bitmap, maybe one of the example icons?

    Sometimes I find that icons saved in tif format don't work if they were saved with certain settings.   Try opening the tif in photoshop or fireworks and toy with different settings.   Can't remember which one caused this to happen for me but when I resaved it with different settings it worked.

    Hope that helps.

    yes, i tried all of the above. it seems not to have to do anything with the image itself.

    Hi, i got the information and could confirm it that it is an icon from the visual selector (create a new hot spot and click onto the question mark)...

    what now?

    Without seeing the code it's hard to say. Can you reduce the code to a simple plugin project which still shows the problem? You can send it over to sdk_support(at)maxon.net.

    If possible the whole project including resources. Please simplify the code as much as possible.

    cheers,
