Thank you for the example file, Kelly. Turns out I was doing it correctly, it's just that I was trying to get the icon to appear on the root menuitem. As soon as I moved the icon to one of the sub menuitems, it appeared with no problems.
My intentions were to have icons in the root menuitems, but I gather this is not natively built-in and would require some sort of workaround? --- In [email protected], "Devin Holloway" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I don't quite understand this solution.
