I want to change the default icons of some of the folders within WM as well as some of the apps - I remember using reshack to do it a while ago for a couple Windows Vista apps.
Any ideas on best practice, tricks, tips for WM icon sizes etc?
Look at the sexy icons found in a Rapheal ROM by NRGZ28 in the attached pic.
It bugs my OCD (I am a multimedia designer and have to be this way) when I see los res pixelated icons for things like Xt9 settings, File explorer extension... there's so many I am not going to list them all.

This is my first theme, so don't expect too much . It replaces the portrait (ONLY portrait) wallpaper, the icons (could not find the manila file for the stock icon, so if you decide to use my theme, please disable this tab), the slider and the clock. The theme is for the new manila with the new start menu, which means there is no icon for the programs tab (yet).
Thanks to maxycy for his theme maker, which saved me a lot of time locating the necessary manila files .
Uninstalling works fine and don't mind the warning when installing the cab file - guess I screwed up making it for specific version of WM.
thanks man.
it's beautiful.
If there is interest I can make a landscape wallpaper and icon for the programs tab. Also if anyone knows which file is for the stocks tab, I can make that too. And of course the color can be changed too, so I am opened to suggestions for that.
good job man
Hi,
i recently switched to wm6.5 (miri).
Now i want to use customized backrounds for my HD -> those from "Lost in Asia ROM".
As I want to use a different bg for landscape and portarit - I think I have to use a Theme do I?
So I tried to genarate one with ThemeGenCE.
MS Theme Gen doesnt support new WVGA themes...
But When I use my generated them it didn't set the pictures.. and it messes up the new "WM6.5 Lockscreen" completely.
I also tried to modify an existing theme (renaming to zip) and replace the pictures inside (skwater 001 and 002) and repack but it didn't work either... same as above.
Anyone knows how generate a working WM6.5 Theme?
I would also help just to know the REG-Key or where to place my bg files to set this up.
THX

Can't be that hard I tought? No one got this problem?
To be honest I'm not sure what you actualy want? When you say theme do you also mean different colour theme for Portrait and Landscape? not sure if this is possible?
However if you are refering to having different background of your choice for Portrait and Landscape then you can simply rename any .jpeg picture of your choice to stwater_480_800.jpg (Portrait) and stwater_800_480.jpg (Landscape) then simply copy them over to windows folder using resco file explorer or total commander! if you already know this then I'm sorry I could not help you on this occasion!
THX
no didn't know that it's that easy... I'll try.
I know its not possible to have different colorschemes for Port. & Land.
By theme, I meant the *.TSK Files which one could create for WM. They contain the Pictures for Port. & Land. + the colorscheme information.
As I described above I didn't get it managed to create such a file working on WM6.5 using a theme generator- worked on 6.1 - but messes up the new WM6.5 Lockscreen
So the question for a working WM6.5 theme generator is still open but not that important to me now.
Thank you, if that works, its all I want (for now) ;-)
With the growing number of ROMs and all the hardwork put behind them, I feel its time to have a comprehensive tutorial for skinning or theming WM 6.5 titanium.
There is a tutorial available, but somehow its difficult to comprehend. Perhaps one of the theme GURUS can answer these,
1. Does wm6.5 require tsk files or has its own code.
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
If some one can help in the above, I have a lot of time to create some great themes and even take requests.
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.
can i change the Today pic .. like 1 for the titanium homescreen and another 1 for the Menu background?
and u cant have a separate 1 for landscape mode hey? ^^
Nah i dont think you can have seperate background for menu and today in titanium.
You can change the minimize tab and the main tab though for landcape and portrait.

If you want a new Theme you'll have to download the img files of the theme and the tsk file (usually they are packed in one cab)
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
Don't know =) You can try it and share your Results
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
Open the cab with an Cab Manager and replace the stwater background file
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
you can replace them... but i'd rather create a new one because it's nearly the same work

Can create my own one XD
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.

It's there a way to change the start menu icons??
Have been searching for about 2 days and no luck for me...
Check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525341
I am also interested in changing the main menu icons.
But as far i can tell there is no great enthusiasm among
people in this forum to get this going...
Anyway, the guy that posted the thread knows how to do this...
I only changed the original icons to a background ones to make
them look better.
the thing is, is there a way to examined that .cab to know what to do or something?
I can make you a CAB for WM 6.5 Prof Style icons and one for Snap-alike icons!
Hey
Hey frauhottelmann
Could you create a cab or .dll(even better) containing icons for
bunch of default and not default programs (fring, twitter etc...)
So when we use it if we have the program it will change the icon
if not... nothing will happen....
And if we like to be able to change the icons in the .dll
That would be awesome!!!
We could call the people to create a list of programs we use...
And we could create icon collections or something...
That would be great...
btw could you teach me how to do it my self?
i'm insterested as well in learning how to create and change the icons on the start menu.
please teach us...
When using Wallpapers that are more on the bright side and BG4all, it becomes really difficult to read the text on some of the HTC Sense (Manila 2.5) tabs, especially the messaging one.
So I was wondering if it is possible to change the font color to black or something else.
Anyone know something about this?
Thanks,
Rag.

I use m9Editor, look for the mode9 files for the parts u want to change..
Manila mode9 u can search say for all entries called "text" this will so you things such as carrier name, in there you can add a property for the colour and change it to what you want.
Look for the m9editor thread, much better explanations in there than I can give
Found them;-
