The bug with the rendering of the colors of gif icons was introduced when Google Earth went from version 4.0.1565 to 4.0.1693 . Something must have been fixed or improved in version 4.0.1693, but I can't tell what (this is the only difference I detect). Unfortunately, Google Earth only posts version 4.0.1693 for download. Fortunately I had kept a copy of the installation file for version 4.0.1565. I am using this exclusively until they fix this annoying problem. I notified them many weeks ago about this problem, but received no response and to this day (Aug 15, 2006) only the buggy version is available for download. So for now I am making my copy of the 4.0.1565 version available for download here. I will remove this link as soon as they fix the bug. You should uninstall your version 4.0.1693 first before attempting to install the older version. I believe all your places will be automatically remembered after this reinstallation procedure. Good luck!
