GAH, it sounds like you may have the lotus flower theme on your player. If so your menu screens consist of a header, 1 side piece which is desplayed twice, on the left and on the right of the animated icon and 4 icon images which change to form the animation.
"Nablish" has done a clasic iPod menu in 1.8 that should suit you simply use the same image 4 times for the animation so that it appears static. You can download it here
