Could you please explain this with an example? I'm not sure what you mean.

I don't know if wxwidget permit it, but would be nice to see "images" in tray icon options.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean with "tray icon options". Could you describe this further or add a picture?

I believe (s)he wants icon enhanced tray menu entries. Like right-click on tray icon, and the appearing menu has small descriptive icons besides the entries.

Oh, please excuse me for not understanding. In retroperspective, this is clear.

To answer your question: wxwidgets allows adding images to menus. (ref (http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxmenuitem.html#wxmenuitemsetbitmap)) This works only on Gtk+ and Windows, though.

this mean that all should be rewritten to support gtk?

Well, wxWidgets use different graphical libraries on each platform.

For Mac, there's wxMac using Carbon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_(API)) and in development wxCocoa using Cocoa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_(API)). According to the wx documentation, neither of these libraries support adding bitmaps to menus.

On Linux, wxWidgets uses GTK+ to display all elements like buttons, text fields, and so on. This means the programmer writes the code for wxWidgets and wxWidgets uses GTK+ to display everything.

On Windows, wxWidgets uses the Windows API. Applications written with wxWidgets look exactly like other Windows Application.

wxGTK (Linux and GTK+)and wxMSW (Windows) support images in a menu.

It's possible, but no promises. You're always free to provide a patch, though. :)

Hehe, I usually don't expect people to provide a solution after them posting a request in this section. But it would be nice, no doubt about that.

My question is: Fabioamd87 do you have any examples or preferences how these icons should look like?

IMHO the option "shouw" should be deleted,
anyway icon "exit" are common in the desktop manager icon set.
disconnect can be the same as amule theme.
and the first option? called "amule 2.2.5" What it does? Nothing...

It's not an option, it's the menu title.

Adn removing "Show" would be disastrous in a lot of ways for a lot of people...

That text let's you associate the menu with the application. It's there for every context menu in aMule too.
Perhaps something like this is what you desire: click to see context menu (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ewREQ2z7SjM/SJBLCO6kvuI/AAAAAAAABU0/QhpNS9CMPhk/s400/eMule%2B0.49b%2Bno%2Bratio%2Btray.png).
