Hey Everybody,
I tried to edit shellres.dll from dump, please refer to the attahced picture.
but after finshed the rom, the icons of the system stay no change, is there anyone had this kind of bad experience?
Any suggestion?
I wonder if after hard reset, system copy back a new shellres.dll default file to overwrite the edited one, but not so sure?

go to www.lakeridgesoftware.com and try the wisbar advanced 3 application for PPC... you can download themes for wisbar for everything from "Apple to Vista" style themes.
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your advise, I like WA3 and has every make it in use for a long time, but it really a wast of ram.
I just want to try to modify Windows Mobile system default icons.

i can give you a small hint maybe will make your work easier, flash your rom without shellres.dll, then add it manually, if you want to replace just hard reset and try the second one, and so on, so no need for cooking or flashing (i'm not sure if that can be worth for shellres.dll, but i used this method for some other system dll files)
i don't know if you are good in making cab files, if you are not that good, did you try Wince Cab Manager and make a cab file containing shellres.dll with removing all properties for this file (in Wince Cab Manager).
i hope i gave you some of useful information
good luck for you work, don't stop till you got what you are looking for

Hello all
I have searched this forum for ages now, about 70 pages, and can;t find anything to do with what i want to do.
Basically i want to change the default icons on the today screen, like for messages, and calender and tasks.
Is it possible and if so how do you go about doing it, i imagine that it has something to do with the plugin DLL's but i am not sure.
Thanks
Dahquim
Dahquim: I've never tried it, but as these are system dlls, likely steps are do a live rom dump, grab the necessary dlls from the dump (deriving the necessary names from the "Today" dll entries in your registry).
From there, do a resource hack of the dlls, replace the bitmaps/icons, and then save, and overwrite back into your windows folder.
Being ROM/system dlls, it's likely the OS won't let you overwrite these dlls (in which case you would have to write your own rom).
It's also likely the ROM dump procedure will not dump the resource entries (bitmaps/icons etc) correctly, so the whole procedure may be futile. You could try to sidestep this by extracting the files from a decompressed ROM, but that can also often fail to produce (easily) usable dlls.
It may be very easy and I just make it sound hard. It may be very hard and I just make it sound harder.
But, all in, it may be easier to replace the plugins with 3rd party components.

Thanks VJ
And weldone on some great software.
Unfortunately I am only a ASP programmer, so have little experience with DLL files. The icon that i want to change is the Messages icon, as this is the only plugin that i want to change, can u recommend any plugins that have the same functionality (which is very little) that has a customisable icon??
Thanks All
Generally I'd recommend PhoneAlarm, but I'm not 100% sure it's WM5 yet. Depends on what you're using. It provides a lot of functionality in one place

Was playing around with my dash recently , after flashing it to the htc's rom and made a couple changes, so I thought I'd share.
I know alot of people dislike the green theme, but I like it, so figured maybe someone else will too.
I'm using an official htc rom.
Here are a few shots of changed icons and bg's and how it looks:

As you can see I've edited the xml, I've also compressed some of the fields down so you don't get the scrolling home screen, where everything you need is pretty much contained within one page:
I've also edited the branding brick on top to reflect the regular alphanumeric code (since there is no alphanumeric translation like there is on the tmo rom):
And added on the following backgrounds for misc actions:
To Do: all you have to do is place the files in the same folder structure that appears in the zipped file (using either resco explorer or whatever explorer you use). Then adjust the home screen settings (Settings>Home Screen) accordingly, reboot the phone and you're good. All files are included in the zipped file.
Just always remember to back up your original files.
You made the green look good! Nice work

but you can also restore by default with Diamond TF3D Config il you have install a ".theme" or delete the theme if it's a ".cab"
Thanks for the files but these are not what we (at least "I" am looking for). It is the Manila files that make up the TouchFlo 3D interface. These are not covered by the Windows Mobile Theme.
IN my particular case, it appears that installing Panosha's Communications Manager Tab, the "background" of the tab got turned into a transparent page so that if I now try and bring up the Communications Manager, I simply get an overlay of the buttons on the page used to call it up. And I have tried uninstalling Panosha's utility - to no avail.
Wellowell. I've done a hard-reset. So here is the original 5xx_manila file. (the 4xx_manila doesn't exists)

Ok, if MS created a new OS with unsupported files like .dll, exe and .cab; then why can i find those extensions in Windows Folder of my HD7?
Any chance to edit them or something?
It's a new OS based on Windows CE so the binaries are still exe. Just like in iOS, where the binaries are still Unix binaries.
However all apps in WP7 are required to be xap.
The dlls in WP7 system and apps are editable.
I wouldn't suggest editing files. I am sure they are signed with a MS cert. Editing the files will loose said cert & make the system not want to load them. So was the case in WM 6/6.1/6.5/etc. You had to unsign dll/edit/resign dll with sdkcerts.

Thanks for suggesting that cause i was ready to edit some interesting stuff here!
If you have PE Explorer, open the exe/dll in it to see if it's signed.
The icon squared in red should be grayed out like show if there's NO signature. If there is one, it's be colored & selectable. If it's Grayed out it should be safe to edit.
