I actually figured that out and got separate icons loading for my markers, though the shadows seems to be a bit to the left of where they should be located but that is something I could fix in a image editing program.
Now onto my next step, being able to toggle markers depending on what type they are, if there are anyone in here that knows how just shout it out, I will be looking into it myself now, I just hope its not as complicated as the past few things I have been doing ;) Thanks again to everyone, you have really helped me out a whole lot, I really appreciate it!
