Bars on the Poll

I have installed the Adgvanced Poll to a directory within the server of its own, like this "/public_html/directory/advancedpoll

If I use, under General Settings, the URL and image directory like this "/advancedpoll/image" I get no bars, if I use "/directory/advancedpoll/image" I get the bars (no colour) BUT the icons in Advanced Poll administration page for "Poll List", "Create new Poll", General Settings" etc disappear?

How do I colour the bars and how do I get both the bars showing in my Poll and the icons showing in the Administration area?

Thanks in advance.

OK.. I have solved the problem, cant get over though how no replys on this forum to the problem, it was actually quite easy and an experienced user would have known, I would have thought.

Not that many experienced AP users left.

Why?
