Application.Master css and title graphic

If you find that after creating a custom master page that your search results page shows a different layout this is because it uses the Application.Master not the same master page as your site collection.

In order to get it looking at least similar I modified the core.css file as for some stupid reason it uses the same css but not master page. This gets the general colours etc.. similar, then to change the title graphic, you need to go:

> Site settings > modify all site settings > Title, description, and icon

from here you can specify the icon to use through all the master pages, including the Application.Master.

It seems very strange that Microsoft decided to use a different master page to the one your site collection is using but used the same core.css and 'Title, description, and icon' settings!
