Can you please explain what you mean with "appear cramped", preferably 
with  a demo URL?

Other than that, pde uses a simple nested list, so your folder icons 
should go in the classes that sport the arrows now:

.pde_parent{background:url(plus.gif) 0 50% no-repeat transparent;}
.pde_active{background:url(minus.gif) 0 50% no-repeat transparent;}

The blue background is defined in the  ul#nav selector, just remove the 
background setting there.

To have other images in  the sub-menus,  simply define

.pde_parent li , .pde_active li{

background:url(yourimage.gif) 0 50% no-repeat transparent;

}
