The solution is very simple, it's just that no one ever figured it out(or it isn't widely known). Until now, the only known way to see icons in fullscreen mode with iCCup's antihack on Windows Vista/7 was to use Chaoslauncher and inject into Starcraft.
Go to your iCCup Launcher folder and double click on iccup.ini and under [StarCraft: Brood War], look for the line that starts with MainExe which should contain the path to Starcraft.exe
After the Starcraft.exe, make a space and type "ddemulate" with the quotes and save. This will fix the icons issue.
Happy gaming

If it wasn't clear to you, as it wasn't to me at first this fixes the rank icons so its easier to see D, C, Pikachu, etc.
Well it works. It also gives Broodwar an absurdbly long load time, lagged my computer a lot and made the menus laggy but it DOES work. Maybe I'm the only who gets lag? It clears up a little after you get into multiplayer and didn't effect the one game I played where I BBS'd a Zerg computer.
EDIT: It lagged both of the times I loaded BW so for me it doesn't appear to be a one time phenomenon.
Am I the only getting lag?

I'm not getting any lag nor have other people that i've said this to. Maybe you could try enabling cpu throttling

like via the in-game menu? because it is enabled already for me.

EDIT: after testing, not adding the text results in instant load time + no lag. After adding the text again it was all long load times and laggy menus. I have the reg edit to fix the colors... maybe they conflict? or one of my chaoslauncher options?

EDIT2: also, alt-tabbing after starting BW seems to reduce the load time O.O wth.

Reinstalling BW helped. no lag in menus and the loading time is alot faster, but still ~5 seconds longer than when I don't have your text added.
Great fix! super awesome.

By icons, do you mean the menu appears properly in fullscreen mode right?

Aweseome, I tried something similar before, but it didn't work. I tried using it directly on starcraft and the launcher.

EDIT:

It's not in the StarCraft folder, it's usually in "C:\Program Files (x86)\ICCup\Launcher". Unless you changed the install path.

EDIT2:
Great! It works! :D

it should be somewhere, just do a search for iccup.ini on your whole hard drive(s). find where Launcher.exe is, and iccup.ini should be there as well. if it's not in the same folder as Launcher.exe, I can upload a copy of it.



EDIT:

I've made a patch that does this fix automatically.

Run the executable patch: iCCup rank icons fix

For the interested, here's the AutoIt script file (v3.3.8.1) used to create this executable, and the code:

;This script adds "ddemulate" to the StarCraft path that iCCup Launcher uses to start StarCraft.
;This fixes dissapearing rank icons on iCCup for most users. Some users report increased loading time for StarCraft.

Can someone confirm it is working for the 32 bit windows?

Yea lol, I was trying to make it with a batch file first, as well. Got it half done, but something wasn't working. I don't know batch scripting very well, so I said "fuck it" and decided to do it with AutoIt, since it's very simple.

Here's the part that tries to find the path from the registry:
+ Show Spoiler +
@echo off
Set Reg.Val=Inno Setup: App Path

echo 32-bit registry search:
Set Reg.Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ICCup Launcher_is1
For /F "Tokens=2*" %%A In ('Reg Query "%Reg.Key%" /v "%Reg.Val%" ^| Find /I "%Reg.Val%"') Do Call Set iccupdir=%%B
if defined (%iccupdir%) (goto next)

echo 64-bit registry search:
Set Reg.Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ICCup Launcher_is1
For /F "Tokens=2*" %%A In ('Reg Query "%Reg.Key%" /v "%Reg.Val%" ^| Find /I "%Reg.Val%"') Do Call Set iccupdir=%%B
if not defined (%iccupdir%) (goto bad_end)

:next
For /F "Tokens=3*" %%A In ("%iccupdir%") Do Set iccupdir=%%B
set "iccupdir=%iccupdir%\iccup.ini"
echo %iccupdir%
goto good_end

:bad_end
echo Could not find the path from registry!

:good_end
pause


Then I tried doing something to edit the ini file, but it didn't work. I can make it edit that line, I think, but the problem is I can't edit it when someone has warcraft as well, for example.

Edit:
Updated the code, before I pasted the wrong code. -_-

They have two MainExe then, so you have to search for the one under the category [StarCraft: BroodWar]. I'm not that familiar with the language to do that. If it was any other normal language it'd be easy. xD

Edit:
Updated the script, it had some errors.


Edit2:
Found this batch script, it works for modifying section key value of an ini file, but it doesn't accept the : from the StarCraft: BroodWar section name. Also, it gets fucked over by the %rank%, %pts%, %wins%, %losses%, %leaves%, %winrate% and possibly by the pipe sign | from the WarCraft section, since it probably assumes they're variables/code or something like that. If you figure out a way to change that, it'd work.

(script taken from stackoverflow, made by rojo)

If the script doesn't find the launcher path from the registry, I'd also add a brute force file search, but that's easy to do once we get the ini modifying to work.

I've PMed FaCE_1, as he's listed for Batch programming in the TL Manpower topic, maybe he'll be able to help.

Does anyone know where wLauncher stores the starcraft.exe path? Seems fish/wLauncher has the same problem and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
