It's up to you to determine the best way to solve this. What I asked you 
to do is to make it look like before, just with the addition of the 
calendar icon next to it. The way it is now, make the field unusable by 
being too tiny and having even less contrast than the rest of the backend.

Ok, after restarting Safari I now have the icon, too.

Well, that's not what I said. Please check the screenshot, the icon is 
obviously not there without t3skin. It actually even can't be there as 
you added the icon/sprite to t3skin only!

Ok, to say it again and clear: IMO you should test your patches more 
before sending them as RFCs. Actually I'm also not the first one telling 
you that, and it's also not the first time I told you that. It wasn't 
more than a friendly (note the "kindly") pointer/reminder/suggestion. 
You should not take this as harsh critics, but rather as a motivation to 
improve the quality of your RFCs. If that's not how we should talk to 
each other, how else should we?


all the best
Ingo
