The dots are on the bottom of the icon and that gets blocked by the storage. At least in my situation it does. I sue the small icons.

@Shadows
Shadows.
Hi I'm fairly new hear. I happened to get in the way with your mod and it isawesome.
As I really hate the icons from the vanilla gane I love yours but I have a pretty sadening thing to say.
You putted the icon on top of the build images of each buildable unit, by doing so
It doesn't let you see the concrete unit, i like that as an extra info but not somethung to the point it gets in the way.
For me is a break or make of your mod, could you give us the option to turn it off, or make those small in the top corner in each image?
Thanks for your time:))

The icons are on top of the build images of each buildable unit in the game by default with or without this mod.
The mod only change how they look like.
It sounds like you're using the wrong size for you. There are 3 sizes from which you can choose in the installer. Have you tried the small version? that one is no bigger then the original unmodded icons and cover much less from the build images.

Can I just install this mod to check it out, and if I don't like it uninstall it without any issues?

Yes, you could just click the uninstall button.
You can also run a quick in-game preview to test the icons at a push of a button.

@Shadows, I'd like to suggest an option to your mod to be able to set the inner color of a unit or building to a lighter color. This would be a good option when playing with a dark faction color like purple or dark blue.

Example:

Perhaps white is a bit too bright but you get the idea.
