Pet ability macro icon not illuminated

So currently im using

#showtooltip Freeze
/cast !Freeze

Tried many variations, the macro is working fine and it shows cooldown count whenever i use it. however the icon is always “dark” as if it is not available. like how deep freeze is dark until target is frozen or you have fingers of frost.
id like to have a macro that actually illuminates the button when i summon pet and the cooldown is available. but none of the variations ive tried does that.

is there any macro that would make the tooltip like that. or a way to more directly move the pet action button to that action bar slot somehow?

Thats been an issue forever unfortunately. Not aware of a workaround outside of manually setting the icon.

what do you mean manually set the icon?

cus i have tried choosing icons from the menu in macro. also cus i want the button to have a different look than the frost nova one. but its just the same issue with a different icon. you mean something else?

and thank you for your answer!

If you pick the icon when setting up the macro instead of using the ? it should display whatever icon you picked, at the default alpha, rather than dynamically setting the macro from the spell.

yeah ive tried that. it just changes the icon but still shows cooldown like normal and its still dark.

if i remove the “showtooltip” part it will then show an illuminated icon but not any cooldown and it will be illuminated even when pet is not out.

Strange. Is this happening on Classic or Retail?
