by putting back an original menu.ml file,
you restore the default icons. Also you can edit a menu.ml file to use default embedded icons for some menu items, and your own modded icons for others.
In menu.ml, there are these lines that set the icon that will be displayed
PREPLAY_DESKTOP_ICN
PREPLAY_DESKTOP_SELECTED_ICN
RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_PREPLAY_ICN
PREPLAY_DESKTOP_ICN in this case is the "Play Now" inselected icon.
If you write this instead, it uses your own icon file:
icon1_unselected.png
icon1_selected.png
RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_DB_ICN
The icon file "icon1_unselected.png" is saved in the same folder as the menu.ml file. The "shortcut" list icon will be the standard one in this case (RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_DB_ICN)
So you can mix and match default icons with home made.

THERE are NO ICONS in menu.ml file. The menu.ml file is a text file that tells the phone where to look for icons.
The default menu icons are in MAIN FIRMWARE. You cannot extract them. To "get back" original icons, you use an original menu.ml file. This file will tell the phone to look in MAIN FIRMWARE for the icons.
If you want to use your own icons instead of the embedded icons in MAIN FIRMWARE, you simply use the menu.ml file to tell the phone to look for icon1_selected.png, it then will look for that FILE instead of the EMBEDDED ICONS IN MAIN FIRMWARE.
OPEN MENU.ML IN NOTEPAD if you haven't already. this may throw some light on the matter.
But PLEASE please read, the answers are all already in this thread and people keep asking the same questions again and again.
I'm sorry, but I Don't know how to explain this any simpler? Open the menu.ml file in notepad and read through it. It will eventually make sense but you have to use your BRAIN and EYES to read and UNDERSTAND.
Deadnerve, yes that is the section I mean. It explains how to edit the menu.ml file to set where the phone will look for the icons.

You will get it, just have a bit of a think about it and look at the menu.ml file in notepad
my phone is k800i R1KG001 CID52
i tried downloading 3-5 Different original k800i Menu.ml
But i am not sure if thy have the "play Now"
and "video call " icons in them .
None of them have any icon files in them. They have code in them that points to icons.
and correct me if i am wrong
if i got the menu.ml that i am looking for (video call & play now)
and restore them in any case ill restore
the original k800i icons ???
Yes  ANY original MENU.ML file will do.
and after i went through the thread
is it true that u cant back up files from k800i CID52???
if not how can i ???
Yes it's true, and no you can't back up files from your K800. That's why I've supplied links to original files, so that if you overwrite a file while experimenting you can restore the original and get your phone back to default.

Well I've just made a nice little menu icon collection, but it's got topless girls in it, I can't preview it here.
It works best with a dark background.
If you want a copy, download it here:

change
Code:
| <icon pos="shortcut" source="internal">RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_DB_ICN</icon>
|
|
to
Code:
| <icon pos="shortcut" source="file">smallicon.png</icon>
|
|
Where smallicon.png is the name of the file you want for the icon. Make it small, say 25x25 pixels.

The full screen menu usually use animated gif so we won't see the desktop picture right? Hm, So I need to incorporated the background (desktop picture) in the menu gif as well then! |

guys, is there a way to decrease the font size ?
I was able to replace the font and played a little with it but I cant decrease the font size, I even checked the XML file that is in the fonts dir and changed some values in there...
the other thing is, how it increase the SMS storage capacity?
yes I know, we can already store 1000 messages, but still... it might be possible like the K750i
se t68i > se t630i > se k750i > se k800i > se m600i > se w800i > se w850i > w200i >se k750i > se k800i > se k850i > iphone > se k800i > samsung i900 omnia > se k800i > se c905i > iphone 3g > se satio > iphone 3gs 32gb > se x10i > iphone 4 > nexus s |

There must be a way for changing the font size as there was a program for K750 to change the font size by editing the layout.xml file. The only problem now is which part of the layout.xml has to be edited. After all, It is possible i believe.
