Are you missing icon 'highlight' effect when mouse is moved on top of
icon? Please specify exactly what the 'some events' are.

I couldn't spot bugs in the code you sent, maybe OrbiterLogic has some
calls to renderer to change icon colors?. One thing which should be
changed in renderer class is the colordepth used for surfaces. Right now
it seems to be hardcoded to certain places as 32. Code should read the
correct depth using SDL_GetVideoInfo and make sure all the newly created
surfaces use the same depth to avoid amount of needed conversions.
