Your TS is generating eight images for EVERY menu item. You just can't
see it because they're being generated one on top of the other--but
this is why each item seems to use "butt_1.gif" A basic GMENU--in fact
any of TYPO3's menu objects--basically provides a MODEL for rendering
each individual menu item. It is not necessary to specify the
rendering of each item individually because TYPO3 takes that model and
applies it to each page that happens to appear in the given menu.

Look at the examples in the TS By Example (linked elsewhere in this
thread); the examples Never have all of these multiple objects like
yours. Instead of trying to vary the buttons, you may find it easier
to simply put a background image 'behind' the buttons. This can be
done using CSS, or possible--depending on your specific needs--in the
GMENU itself.
