In patch 2.3 we'll be making it so that when you set macros to the hotbar, the icons you specify will be displayed regardless of your class. Additionally we’ll be making it so the icon list in the user macros window will display the icons you indicated with the /micon command.

We're planning on making it so you'll be able to easily find the appropriate macros based on their icon in the future.

We have to wait till 2.3 for it? Kinda lame considering it was perfect in 2.1 then destroyed entirely in 2.2...

Sounds great glad to see you guys reading forums too
I don't know if you want to add when you mouse over a macro whatever /macroicon spell you have set, it shows it's tooltip, just an idea even though not required.

what about seeing tooltips with macros would luv to mouse over my eye for an eye macro and see the the ability text

While were at it can we add a macro developer on the website so I can write my macros at work and use them when I get home to my console.

This may be old now but the macros are all still there, just hidden. To get it to show up properly on the hotbar you have to visit the macro creation screen:

Create a new macro but start it off like this for ex:

/micon "Foresight"
/ac "Foresight" <me>

Make sure to leave the picture blank, and when you assign it to the hotbar it will show the picture for that ability.

Well, it doesn't have to be left blank, just select whichever of that limited selection will help you find it within the Macro window in case you want to go back and edit it later. But if you use the /micon command, it overrides that picture on the hotbar, so the Macro window itself is the only place the initial picture will show up.

Nice I didnt't know you could still choose one of the default pictures, thanks!
