On my gallery2 site, the 'new' and 'updated' icons don't display correctly for new and updated images and albums. Only the text displays. I'm using the Silk icon pack, although I've also tried switching to the others I have installed (Paul Armstrong Designs and KSIcons) and the same thing happens. I have the Icons and the New Items plugins both activated. The 'new' icon DOES show up correctly on the Admin menu next to the New Items config link, and also on the Icons config page where it shows all icons, and I can browse to it manually using the path to the image file, so Gallery/Apache can definitely get to it and display it. I've looked at the source and it doesn't even try to reference the image file, it just has this:

<div class="summary-newitems summary">
<span class="giNew">New</span>
</div>

Has anyone else run into this? Am I missing some config somewhere?

Here's an example of some images that should display the 'new' icon:

Here's the 'new' icon itself:

those icons are for admin and sidebar list-icons/navigation.
but you could certainly update your theme's css to make use of the icons you want.

/* set our new background-image */
.summary-newitems {
  background: transparent  url('/pictures/pictures/modules/icons/iconpacks/silk/new.png') no-repeat 50% 0;
  height: 16px;
}
/* hide text */
span.giNew {
    display: none;
}

IMHO that icon is too small to flag new items, but just right for a list-icon ;)
better icons for your purpose

Ah, I see... looks like I just misunderstood the intention of those icon sets. Thanks!
