:lol:
I found out that many Java apps when install on S60 came up with very ugly icon ( small and boring ..) hope these information is helpful :

1. Before install to s60 check the file (*.jar) first
2. Unjar(unzip) to PC ( can rename *.jar -- *.zip)
3. Open folder META-INF, then open file manifest.mf using NotePad
4. Check line : Milet-Icon: xxxx ( xxxx is the name of the icon file. Normally no extension or .png )
5. Close manifest.mf then open the file xxxx using Paint
6. Standard size for Java app icon in s60 is 29 x 42
7. Edit then Close
8. Jar(zip) all
9. Send to s60 then install them

Ah oh, I forget :
If You cant find line Midlet-icon in manifest.mf that means software will use defaut icon. Then we can creat icon for it.
1. Download Nokia Developer's Suite 2.0 for J2ME from nokia.forum
2. Install then Run. Come to File/references to set working path
3. Creat your icon.png by Paint (29x42)
4. Come back NDS.0J2ME click Creat Application package, open *.jar,jad
5. Set icon by Attribute/Midlet icon
6. Press Generate to creat new jar
