hy,
add a text with category>CATEGORYNAME>XMLFIELD

Where "CATEGORYNAME" is, of course, the name of your category.
and "XMLFIELD" is the name of the xml field that you want show up ( you have to write in the xml field the full path to your picture or something like : "skin://buttons/image1.png" ).

Thanks man.... I had tried that before, except i was linking to a image file not in the xlobby directory, but in 'my pictures'. and now it worked, and I was like, it worked so well that I re-tried linking to an image in 'my pictures' folder and it worked too! So I don't know what exactly I was doing wrong. But thank you!
