As I said in the other thread, I think its the HUD.dds from Oakgroove that over rides this. What still beats me is that you don't get a warning from JSGME when activating.
I took the liberty here to upload the "modified" version of the HUD here
http://files.filefront.com/HUDdds/;8239911;;/fileinfo.html
It uses the graphics from Oakgroove's mod tweaked for the search pattern mod.
Drop it in to
SI HUD Kit\Data\Menu\Gui\Layout
And see if that works.
