I'm not sure if it's the case here, but sometimes icons are not getting added, if they are for a feature added by one of the major updates of the apps. Check -> View -> Customise Tools if you can find the icon there. If so, just add it to your icons/tools.

That’s the Vector Flood Fill Tool.

If you can’t see it in your Tools Panel then you can use menu “View → Customise Tools” and then drag the tool to your Tools Panel.

For further reference, there’s a Vector Flood Fill Tool in the Designer Persona for filling vector areas and there’s a Flood Fill Tool in the Pixel Persona for filling pixel areas, and they both look like a bucket.

I feel like an idiot, can anyone delete this post? :/

The thread can be hidden (or deleted by a moderator) but doing so might stop other people from getting the same help if they have the same question.

If you really would like the thread to be deleted then you should be able to report it to a moderator – via the ‘three little dots’ button at the top-right of the post – and they can delete it for you.

You got reason, thanks again.

By all means keep this thread visible for others to learn from. 

This  thread illustrates Granddaddy's problem-solving technique called Broadcasting Your Ignorance.

As I first learned some 45 years ago, in the days of IBM mainframe listservs and PC bulletin boards, the quickest way to find a solution to my problem was to broadcast my ignorance. Sure I was sometimes made fun of by others. So what? So long as I had my say they could say anything they pleased. Remember that nothing good ever happens that some don't have their fill of laughter from it. Intelligent people, those who can help you, know what to disregard and will think no worse of you because of foolish criticisms by others. The important thing is that there is always someone who understands your problem and who is willing and able to provide a solution. 

As a professional librarian in research libraries at two large state universities, I always taught students a three step sequence to finding information.
1.)  Ask someone who knows
2.)  Broadcast your ignorance
3.)  As a last resort, go to the library

Today that last step more often involves searching the Web. But beware. The Web is not a library. 

As was written long ago:
Search engines, with their half-baked algorithms,
are closer to slot machines than to library catalogues
                              --David Rothenberg
                              Chronicle of Higher Education
                              p. A44, August 15, 1997

It's worse today given that search engines are written to serve the purposes and agendas of the search engine companies. Often that means they are designed to mislead you and redirect you away from the best information.  So ask someone who knows and when necessary broadcast your ignorance on these forums. As we see every day, someone who knows will answer your call.

Oh, and one thing more, broadcast your ignorance gently and with humility.

So true. Corporations are not your friends.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
