    There is a mysterious 'Grid 2 flat' texture that is ONLY available if another addon that seems to have nothing to do with grid2 is loaded.

    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. Load only Grid2 addon => Grid2 Flat texture is not available
    2. Load Grid2 addon and 'Combo Point Redux' addon => Grid2 Flat texture is avaible in the list of textures

    Please provide any additional information below.
    Grid2 Flat texture is great combined with square indicators. It is the only one that provides 'vivid' colors.
    It would be great that it becomes available whenever an addon containing LibSharedMedia is installed.

    I dont understand very well the issue: That is the normal behavior of Grid2, if libsharedmedia is available , grid2 flat texture is registered  and can be selected. But Grid2 does not include this library, another addon must provide the library (or must be installed standalone).

    Anyway Grid2 already uses "Grid2 flat texture" for square indicators by default even if libsharedmedia is not available, because Grid2 flat texture is included in Grid2 package (It is the Grid2\white16x16.tga file), and grid2 does not need libsharedmedia to load this texture.

    Maybe do you mean that with libsharedmedia library installed Grid2 Flat texture is not visible in  texture selection options ? if this is happening its a bug.
    And then i need to know, exactly,  what addons are installed and enabled in your computer.

    After some testings, its a bug, the issue only happens when grid2 is the first addon loaded, in this case libsharedmedia is not available yet.

    Thank you very much for having spent some time trying to understand what i meant!
    It took me quite some time to figure out why my mates didn't have that texture.

    Why not provide LibSharedMedia with Grid2 like most addons do?
    As far as i know there is no way in the standard GUI to ensure that Grid2 will be loaded last.

    Off the subject : In my opinion, Grid2 is by far the best healing addon and i can't thank you enough for the great work you've done.
