What's it Look Like? by Artix

	Group A clues are listed in alphabetical order of their answers and are definition only. Two answers are abbreviations. All but one of these entries have no unchecked letters. Group B are listed in conventional order and are normal cryptic clues, except for three to thematic answers (all of the same length) which are wordplay only.  The unconventional bar pattern must be deduced: the three cells with no letters in them must be barred off completely. The cell with the shape inside it must have a bar on one side only. Finally, and also in response to the title, a single thematic answer must be highlighted.
