WMS icon on Sony's XMB (Xross Media Bar)

It’s a crazy little thing but how to make a Sony Bravia TV to show WMS icon on the XMB menu?
Currently I see DLNA server’s default icon which is similar to a network drive connection icon in Windows. But if you enable network media sharing in WMP12 you’ll see WMP12’s icon on the XMB. MediaMall’s PlayOn has a nice and colorful icon too. I tried to change WMS’s icon by going Program’s main form -> Structure of media resources -> Editing description server and there changing this:
Code: Select all
<iconList>
<icon>
<mimetype>image/png</mimetype>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<depth>32</depth>
<url>/presentation/images/wmsicon.png</url>
</icon>
</iconList>
to this:
Code: Select all
<iconList>
<icon>
<mimetype>image/jpeg</mimetype>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<depth>32</depth>
<url>/presentation/images/wmsicon.jpg</url>
</icon>
</iconList>
Meanwhile I saved wmsicon.png as wmsicon.jpg in JPEG format in the same location.
I restarted the server but with no effect. The default icon is still on the XMB.
Any hints?

Hi Eugene,
I made an alteration to the server's description as follows:
Code: Select all
<iconList>
<icon>
<mimetype>image/jpeg</mimetype>
<width>96</width>
<height>96</height>
<depth>24</depth>
<url>/presentation/images/dlna96x96.jpg</url>
</icon>
</iconList>
And when I request http://[server's ip-address]:[server's port]/description.xml through a browser I still keep on receiving the following:
Code: Select all
- <iconList>
- <icon>
<mimetype>image/png</mimetype>
<width>64</width>
<height>64</height>
<depth>32</depth>
<url>/presentation/images/wmsicon.png</url>
</icon>
</iconList>
Restarting server does not help either.
Any hints?

If you use individual settings for the device, you need to edit the description in them, Settings-Server-to choose a device - Edit - Settings -"Thumbnails, identifiers" - "Structure of media resources".
P.S. In next version will be added to different sizes of icons.

That was the case.
Now I have a really nice WMS icon on my XMB menu.
Here it is for those who'd love to have it.
Code: Select all
<iconList>
<icon>
<mimetype>image/jpeg</mimetype>
<width>120</width>
<height>120</height>
<depth>24</depth>
<url>/presentation/images/wms120x120.jpg</url>
</icon>
