submenu icons must be 24 pixels wide otherwise the text in lists doesn't line up properly when default icons are alongside custom icons.

Height doesn't seem to matter too much, I've used from 24x17 up to 24x24 pixel icons.

I've made some changes to the Guide, but they are posted in the 2nd post of the thread. From time to time I will update the 2nd post to include new information.

Well, can anyone tell me why i installed a fost and why i can't see the tail of the "g"? Sometimes it appears but then when i move to another menu it remains there and sometimes doesn't appear at all.

The font is Simsons_font.

Hi guys just wanted to clarify a few things. If i've got a a full desktop icon at 162 x 133 and lets say that's for a k750 phone, if i want to change that to a k800i size fullscreen desktop menu icon to suit the k800, would i have to change anything in the menu.ml or just leave it?

Last time i used such icons my desktop was badly messed up.I even changed it to another menu but it made no change. I had to flash it again. I heard though if you do a master reset ur phone is back to normal? even the default menu icons?

master reset will fix it, unless you have uploaded a layout.xml.

To fix menu all you need is an original menu.ml file. No need to flash or master reset.

The K750 icons won't work they are too small.

I heard it somewhere on this forum but couldn't find it again. If i was to shortcut a JAVA app to the walkman menu icon, I'd have to tweak the menu.ml section. Correct? Could someone please show me the changes needed to do this please?

it looks correct (but I had to "edit" you post to see the code. You should put your code within the "code" tag so it will appear in your post.)

Post your jad file (or jar if you don't have the jad), and I will confirm it's correct

Just do it the same way as in the Main menu, just under the Entertainment submenu

<element id="Applications">
<label type="name"> <text>Mini Commander</text> </label>
<icon pos="left" source="file">commander.png</icon>
<icon pos="shortcut" source="file">commander.png</icon>
<link type="java" javasuitename="MiniCommander" javasuitevendor="Yuri Kudrin" javasuitepoint="MiniCommander"/>
</element>
