Insert Synth, all box icons are black.

To be honest I have never seen a situation like this.
Is your cakewalk content (like Icons, exc) stored on your D drive ?
 

This should have been the first thing you wrote in your OP: What version of Windows and what version of Sonar are you running ?
 
First check to make sure everything is still there. Icons are located in C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\Track Icons. You can try refreshing them by going to track preferences and turning them on/off again. im not sure its going to help but it might be some strange glitch. The Icons use a .BMP format. I would also open an icon within Windows just to make sure its not some association issue where BMP and windows can no longer associate it.
So open up a Sonar icon in windows explorer preview to see if it can be viewed normally first.
 
Didn't you have this same problem once before ?

I checked I have track icons,, and all the icons of the synths... BTW Ive tried uninsatling and reinstalling Sonar same thing.  Im only having problem with when you go to insert synth its black icon next to the synths.  This is bothering my cocd.  How about if I uninsatll and reinsatll into a new folder ?

Was it a clean re-install?

YES YES, that is exactly what I mean.  Exactly like this.  Black icons.  Can I fix this.  Thanks
 
Clean install.  Uninsatll Sonar, then reinstall the same direcetory.  Should I install to another folder.  Also will all plugins all work.   Thans

I cannot tell you the last time I used that menu before this thread.
 
The images are stored in the theme. All the plug-in type images in the Tungsten theme are dark gray. Checking several releases as far back as 2016.05 when Tungsten was introduced show these images with a black background (or possibly no background) on my PC running Win10. Similar to the image in post #9.
 
If this is a recent change, it would seem it is code shared by all the version of SONAR. IOW an MS library.
 
The only resolution I can think of ATM is use a different theme.
 
Might be worth a problem report.

I get the same thing on Platinum 2017.01, although I never really payed attention to it.  It seems to have been like that as far back as I can remember.

Here is my Sonar PLatinum 23.march

It's the theme you are using. In the Mercury theme the icons are light blue against a dark gray background. In Tungsten (and presumably a lot of Tungsten-based user themes) they are dark gray against the same (slightly darker) gray background, so at that small size you can barely distinguish it. You can either switch to Mercury theme or edit the icons in the theme editor. You can find them under Browser>Plugin Browser>Plugin Types (you have to have an image editing app installed and configured to use with the theme editor).

See the Software forum. In the first thread there are heaps of them. You have to scroll to find them all.
