That icon pack can be downloaded here. This download is in a rar archive so if you do not already have unrar software installed you will need to install an unrar program (such as rarzilla which is a free option)

To install this icon pack just put all of the icons and the menu.ml file from the download into tpa/preset/system/menu the same way as with the layout files

one thing I have noticed since I got rid of the yes optus operator logo I have also lost my time [clock] date and alarm from bottom of my screen on K800i

this has not happened with the W300i just K800i

To try and regain the clock, date and alarm download this .zip folder and copy the four files to the layout folder you were putting the layout file into before.

This one should work as I found it in another thread were it was tested to have worked on the k800

Also, did you get the above icons onto your phone without problem?

Edit: I've had one last go at editing the file myself so it should work, although try the above method first - if the above method does not work I will post my newest version of the modded layout.xml file

ok I tried deleting this part of the menu.ml file...
<element id="OperatorWebPage" >
<label type="name" textid="SONYERICSSON_TXT"/>
<icon pos="selected" source="file">icon1_selected.png</icon>
<icon pos="unselected" source="file">icon1_selected.png</icon>
<icon pos="shortcut" source="internal">RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_OPERATOR_ICN</icon>
<link type="internal"/>
</element>
but when I copied and pasted it back in the menu.ml file the same optus icon appeared not the icon from the pack I put into TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/MENU

I'm stumped but will keep trying and maybe find out what I need to do
