Program Icons
Is there a way to change a program's icon. Some programs such as TCPMP have icons that I'd just rather not look at. Is there anyway that I could edit to icon to my liking. Thanks
Transparent Icons
Greetings all... I'm currently editing my Welcome Center slider panel to show my custom apps. I am in dire need of instructions to make icons transparent. I am searching for icons for my panels and I know there's some editing needed to make them transparent and "glossy" for that polished look.
1) Which program should I use to edit?
2) Where do I get this program?
THANKS!
Try photoshop, I said something to you about this in another post on another thread, like 5 minutes ago.
Here.. I'm gonna do you a big favor and send you here... http://www.iconarchive.com/
Thank me later

Icon issues
Hello All,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me out I am running Kavana's 6.1 rom and when I hit the start menu button it switches to the recent programs menu but no icons will display until I hit the all programs button. Sometimes they show but 80% of the time they dont and was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this. Thank You!
Weird... Reinstall the ROM maybe ?
I’m a little bit of an organization/customization freak, especially with my phone, so I customized every panel I could. I even photoshoped up a few of my own icons. I attached a few pics of the panels, there's about 31 icons in the zip. Enjoy
EDIT
Heres some quick instructions
Unzip the file and dump the icons u want in the \Windows folder, then use CHome Configurator to set targets to the icons you want to use
Any chance off uploading your reg files for your "My Programs"
Please
In what folder do i upload this zip?
\Windows folder
Do i just dump everything there? or create a folder?

Very pretty! Say... Can I borrow your icon for the Weather Options and use it in my .cab file ? Would I flatter myself too much if I was to assume that the shortcut you made points to the options panel of my CHome Weather application ?

Sure you can use it, it yours now. And yes it does , no more start button and scrolling down for me. The convenience of all the important stuff I need right on the home screen
I am looking for the icon displayed as Touch HD (you will see it on 'My Computer' when you connect your HD with ActiveSync).
But I would like to have it either as ico, svg, png file so I could use it myself for other folders or similar.
Any help?
Nobody?
For a better understanding i made a screenshot.
I want that icon as a ICO, PNG, etc. file.
Anyone?
A few sizes just for you All should be transparent backgrounds even thhough they dont appear that way on the screen
thanks a lot!
no prob wiz. i know they aren't perfect but i'm no pro. If you look at my sig now (i stole your idea haha) i mad one with the BG color of the forum so it would blend. For some reason this forum puts a white BG where transparent would go. Help yourself to it if you were going to put it in your sig
vista ico file and png
Here is another vista icon zipped.
I use large icons on my desktop and that gray spot on the right side of the original icon was annoying me so I removed it.
That original icon still shows up though under 'Portable Devices', does anyone know how to change that?
How will u chang eit?
HD icon
By the way, is it possible to change the icon of any programm? When yes, how?
Rgds,
Hi CorruptedSanity & francescrm, I guess those questions are addressed to me. They are not very clear so I will try to cover as much as I can...
CorruptedSanity, If you are asking how I changed the icon, I just used an icon editor program. If you are asking how will I change the icon that is showing up when you connect Touch HD to the computer, that is what I am trying to find out also but I think it involves locating and replacing "sync.ico" file both on the phone and vista.
francescrm, if you right click any shortcut or folder on vista and then click 'Properties' there is an option there to change the icon. If you are asking how to change it on phone, you can use a program called SK Shortcut Manager .
sk282, yep thats what I needed to know.
Thanks

If you are using a winMO 6.5 rom hComber is brilliant for changing icons, you can even find some on these very forums!

thanks dude i hav the 6.5 energy rom with titanium and manila
I have made an icon for a contact but i cant get the transparency to work.
Its a .png and its transparent on my computer.
Anyone knows how to make icons transparent on the Tpuch HD?
Is there some kind of masking-colour?
I´ve modded my HD with nocurtains application and new Icons for the TF3D, however, the squares aroud the icons are still grey, is it possible to chande the color to match the theme?
If you mean like mine then I did it with the attached cab file (or at least I think it was that one that did it).
That´s it :d
How did you chenge the start icon? Have that CAB?
There's a thread about it here. I can't remember without looking but I seem to think the file also has various other icons altered. If you wanted a version with just the HTC logo altered I can do that for you? Or if you want the full coloured top bar I have a more recent version than in that thread that uses files just from the HD when possible.
I already have the colored topbar, but if you can post your version of the colored topbar with the icon changed it would be nice, can you also change the start to "iniciar" ?
Then can you post the cab for changing only the logo?
Sorry about the delay I got a bit sidetracked yesterday.
I've attached two cab files. One replaces the Start icon only (all the other icons are untouched). The other is one I created using just files from the Touch HD when possible (the other version knocking about seemed to use some differing files from the Diamond and also had two 80% battery indicators but no 79% which I've fixed). You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it. I've changed the word start to "iniciar" with a lowercase I. If you want it with a capital I let me know. I've been using the second one on my phone for a week or so but with Touch HD with no issues but other than me it's completely untested.
Also, the modified files are from a WWE ROM using English. I believe other locales use different files.
this thread will be moved to the theme , software and application section
It looks amazing
Please, send me the cab with Capital "I"
Can you explain me how do you make this cab files? To complicated for a noob?
Here's the same cab with full colour icons, HTC start icon and a capital I in Iniciar. You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it.
To create the top bar took a bit of figuring out at first but once I'd got my head around it it's fairly easy. All the guides are on the forums somewhere. I'll have a look to see if I can find the ones I used.
Once the files are modified creating the actual cab file to install them is very simple thanks to an excellent program called Quickcab that is also on the forums. You tell it which files you want copying to the phone and where you want them, create any registry keys that may need altering (this top bar has one key that changes the amount of battery statuses to 101). You then give it a description for Remove Programs and a file name and click create.
Hi friend! I liked your botton icons. Where can I pick this theme up? Does it include Stocks icon?
Thanks
It's from an excellent Diamond theme by DjOuBhAa called Simply Black. When the Touch HD first came out someone adapted the full theme but I only wanted the bottom icons so I took out the manilla files for the icons and made my own cab file. Unfortunately it doesn't include a Stocks tab icon (the original didn't either).
I've attached the cab I used as well as No Curtains to remove the top and bottom curtains and Pamas Transparant Slider to give a transparent slider and remove the background on the icons not currently highlighted.
It also looks very good on a lighter background
Hello, in the transparent slider i see an whit symbol only over the indizies-tab.
All others are ok. Can you help, that all tabs are blank, when sliding?
Thanks
Manfred
Thanks a lot for the icons and all the work you had.
There is only one other thing I would want it to change if possible, the battery icon, I saw one that looks better in my opinion, it´s somewhere around xda, but can´t find the link, please see post #2202 in the following link.

I've just double checked my Remove Programs and also my Cab folder and they're definitely the two I installed (apart from the actual icons) to get my slider as it is. The only thing I can guess at is if the order you install them in could make a difference? Maybe try them the other way around?

When i install it the TF3D wallpaper shows a bar on the bottom, and I can´t make the wallpaper to bel well displayed.
I´ll try to find the battery icon.
It isn't a real theme. I have make some changes so as we have better looking
at our backgrounds. You can use it with all your wallpapers.
When we have the same background at all the Tabs, there is a problem if we use colored wallpapers or photos.
The problem has to make with the icons because they are black and look very bad.
I found a very simple solution for that. I made 50% transparent all the icons so as they look little darker than the color which has our background.
You can use it with any background color, dark or light.
Maybe later I make them real crystal, but need a lot work and I have not so match time these days.
If you like my fonds you can find them here (Thanks to Onkolog)

last update 07/04/09
I have add at the People Tab the bigger transparent icons.
So I changed the CAB. Download the new one.
very nice! does this include the font used for the titles (e.g., Weather)? if not, what is the font name and how does one install to their device? also, when you press one of the transparent icons (like the call mobile button on the people page) does it change so you know it's been pressed? thanks!

works & looks very nice on my device! i like the way they're in the background. in case you plan to refine, i'd like to share with you my observations for the people page: there are some people icons that aren't transparent depending upon the type of numbers (mobile, home) and the number of contact items (e.g., mobile, email, home). for example, if a person has only a mobile number, manila uses different (larger) icons for the mobile and text icons. neither icon is transparent. also if a person has a mobile, home and work number, and an email address, the work number icon is not transparent, but the others are transparent. hope this helps! your time, effort and contributions are very much appreciated!
looks great.does your slider work with the stock tab?mine does the ugly double icon thing! if yes can i have it.

Yes there is problem. It happens because I made my tests with a contact which has 4 icons (mobile-home-sms-mail). I will fix it right now and I 'll give new CAB

I am sorry but I am not sure if I understand you well.
Like I write at the first post it isn't a real theme.
Just I made the icons which there are on every TAB to be transparent so as every wallpaper you use, looks better because original icons have black background around them. (You must use the same wallpaper for all Tabs. If your wallpaper it is black you don't need to install this cab). But if you use a photo like a background, you need the transparency.
For example I changed to tranparency at Music Tab, the 4 icons play, pause, preview song, next song. The same I made for all the Tabs.
I don't know if I answer at your questions.
Thanks a lot, will try to use it.
This was were i was looking for, thx!

shellres.(The dpi of your device here).dll is responsible for the top bar.
to edit the icons you need to edit that one, it's responsible for the slider icons..
transparency is a function of the theme you use.
Have a look at HDwall for that part.

isn't it possible to edit some things in wm so the topbar becomes transparant?
nobody????
Also tried (almost) all cab's and "tricks" available.......unfortunately nothing worked.....I have QVGA.....
i read it has something to do with themes... now just know how themes work
If you are looking to make the taskbar and / or softkey bar of the homescreen in wm6.5 transparent then you are out of luck as I spent tons of time looking into this and it's not possible.
I did find one way that gives the look of transparency and it looks really cool., but it will require Photoshop / WM registry editor and some math. It's really down to replacing the .png images with sections cut out of your background image giving the impression the bars are not seperate from the background.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...v/thread/79a35cd3-91db-4941-b8a9-1106a9425615
One downside though: if you set it up in portrait and then rotate the screen it stretches the images... still looking for a way around that, but on a day to day basis I can live with that.
Note: QVGA top and bottom bars are 26px and VGA are 52 in WM6.5. I believe in WM6 it's 25px and 50px, but I cannot check that directly.
Try HERE, its as close as you can get to taskbar transparency.
For Icons, like it was said before, edit the .dll's.

The original question needs to be defined a little clearer, as this answer refers to the 'Windows Default' plugin on your Today Screen, while I referenced changing the top and bottom bars on the Today Screen itself. Hopefully one of these answers the original thread question.

But this only works if you use the 'Windows Default' today screen plugin as per both of the screenshots you attached. If you don't use that today screen plug in and use something like SPB Pocket Plus (screenshot I attached) you still have solid color top and bottom bars even if you loaded in a 'Windows Default' transparent top and bottom bar theme.
