Note: This page contains information for scripting on MM2. For MM3, you have take into account that the database has changed. Therefore, database drivers (MDAC and MS Jet) aren't needed anymore, and the database structure has changed (MediaMonkey Database structure). Also keep in mind that MM3 uses newer icons.

Descriptions for the icon codes, and scripts to view all icons in Mediamonkey: Forum Thread
The icons can be downloaded here: Download Icons
Normally MediaMonkey uses its own internal icons. However, if you create an "Icons" subdirectory in MediaMonkey's program folder (usually "C:/Program Files/MediaMonkey", and place all MediaMonkey icons in it, it will use those. Those icons can then be modified like you wish. They can be up to 32 bit and support simple transparency. The first (top-left) pixel is taken as the transparent color. A restart of MediaMonkey is required for the icon changes to take effect.
An example of using custom icons can be found here.
In the same way as with the icons: if you place a file called "NoAArt.png" in the Icons subdirectory (which you may have to create first), it will replace MediaMonkey's default image in the Album Art panel when there's no album art found.
You can put a modified splash screen image in subdirectory "Brand" (which may have to be created first, in MediaMonkey's program folder). This image has to be named "Splash.png" (png image) or "Splash.jpg" (jpg image).
