I think you can do it in the CSS files

The only way I know is to create a gif (background image for your menu item) Then call the gif file as a background image for your button in the style.css, If you'd like to see an example you can go tohttp://www.fbctogether.org I have the images appearing in all the submenus (I don't use them at the top level).

Bon chance!

My solution for menu images depending on modules. Edit system_block_mainmenu.html in templates manager.

<table cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td id="mainmenu">
      <!-- start module menu loop -->
      <{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
       <a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/" onMouseOver="<{$module.directory}>.src='<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/<{$module.name}>2.gif';" onMouseOut="<{$module.directory}>.src='<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/<{$module.name}>.gif';"><img src="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/<{$module.name}>.gif" name="<{$module.directory}>" id="<{$module.directory}>"></a>
        <{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
          <a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"><img src="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/<{$sublink.name}>.gif"></a>
        <{/foreach}>
      <{/foreach}>
      <!-- end module menu loop -->
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>


Only thing you have to do is making images which have the same name as in module administration and put them to their respective directories.

Strange!

Please check this (an example with module news):

1. Are the gifs called news.gif and news2.gif in the first level of the news folder?

2. Is the name of the news module in modules administration called "news"?

3. Did you make the changes for the template in the templates manager in the admin area?

4. Will changes to themes/templates be refreshed on change? To be set in administration / preferences / general settings.

Point 1 to 3 you have to repeat for every single module that will appear in the main menu. The code I provided is for images ONLY in main menu, but you can mix techniques.

Look athttp://www.florys.org as a living example.
