If you want a nice menu easily, then you can use Moghunters Menu (http://atelier-rgss.com/RGSS/Menu/XP_Menu01.html).
Thanks much for the suggestion, but I'm familiar with that menu system and won't be using it because I have custom systems within each option that are difficult to reconcile with the MOG scripts. All I wish to do is replace the text of my default menu system with images. :)
Just found this on RPG Revolution. It is made by Redd
Tested it as well, it adds icons in the menu before the choice words. If you don't want the text, just remove them in the Scene_Menu.

# ** Redd's MenuIcons
#==============================================================================
# Gives the menu the ability to have icons in the choices
#==============================================================================
# Instructions
#
# After configuring what you want your icons to be, go into Scene_Menu, look
# for line 26, and change
# @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
# to...
# @command_window = Window_MenuIcons.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
#
# And there you have it. If you need any support just email redredd@live.com

when 5
icon = '046-Skill03'
# If there are more than 6 commands:
else
# Don't draw anything.
icon = ''
end
# Create the bitmap image for the icon
bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(icon)
# Make the rectangle for the image to be in
src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height)
# Draw the bitmap inside the rectangle, at 4 pixels across,
# and down according to the index
self.contents.blt(4, 32*index+5, bitmap, src_rect)
end
end
Great idea. It worked perfectly! *levels up*
