Ok, for starters: Monk with macros for GCD skills are horrible, please don't use them
And the icon won't show up until it's placed on your hotbar, just like you can see on my images in my previous post, 5 of those are set as such (those with actual skill icons were set before this change happened)

And the icon won't show up until it's placed on your hotbar,

Which is a huge issue as well. It would be so much easier to differentiate what macros are which in the list if they actually did show the appropriate skill icon.
