The only thing I can offer is that SunDesk is very sensative to correct
pairing and numbering of icl8 and ICN# resources. Every icl8 MUST have
a corresponding and identically numbered ICN# in the SunDesk Icons
file. Triple-check your pairs. 

I posted what I *THINK* is the comprehensive SunDesk upload to
comp.binaries.mac tonight. It has two sets of documentation approaching
the INIT from different angles. All appologies: SunDesk is made BY
hackers FOR hackers and is not really "user friendly" for adding your
own color icons. This is one of the reasons I uploaded my +400k SunDesk
Icons file. Expect to so upgrades (sometime!).
