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...
I'm creating my own "minimal" theme but I'm stuck on a couple of things and no matter how hard I've looked through the mode9 & lua files I can not find the parts I'm looking for..
As you'll see from the Calendar page, I can change most of the colors I need, but the one that is bugging me is the top page description which does not change regardless of the settings I alter.
Also, for the clock, does anyone have digital clock tabs with coloured notifications so that when I change the transparency they don't dissapear? I'm not a very good artist
If someone could point me in the right direction regarding the mode9 & lua files that I'll need to change what I want to change it would be appreaciated.

Think you can find the top text in 3a8e04af
Yea, got help from elsewhere thanks a while back..
I just referenced my post for another thread is all
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.

Here is the Thread I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452
Thank you for help
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;-
My example, if this is what you mean - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570395
Edit Manila - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567515

Hola,
1) the Top Icons as you call them, are "hidden" and included within the dll´s of your device. If you want to change them, you can either learn how to make taskbars (extract images from them, easy, but then mod them, also easy, and finally "put them back in and make the taskbar work - not so easy). You might find up to 1500 or 2000 images within the taskbar. Some of the images can be found in windows root though ;-)
It´s a lot easier to find a "proper" taskbar with the icons you want, or and this I would not recommend at all - play and check which dll is responsible for which iconm and mix them.
Messing with these can really screw your device, so if you don´t know, don´t do it
2) Transparency for the BackGround of ClockArray
- you can edit the manila file for the background your self, then you would have to decide wethere transparent or visible, and keep the "other" version on SD card, so that when ypou wanted to change that, you simply "replace" the one in windows from SD Card
- or if using CHT, you can install Poyensa´s CHT Tweaks (beta) and use the config possibilities in it to make it transparent or visible on the go, as well as many other interesting configuration options within and for CHT Widgets...
3) That is a rather tricky one because it´s hidden in the mode 9 file for that tab, and maybe also referenced by lua files and other mode9, and this tweaks are discussed in specific threads so that the average user is not missled into modding elements that could mess his or her sense(s)
4) You already have those icons provided by you. The are in the cab from Keko
If you check the files with CFCGui you will find up to 5 or 6 icons that are "almost" the same for each tab. As posted in the other thread:
he slider cab / or slider elements consist of the following groups/items:
- Slider bar icons when selector is not "on" them
- Icons on selector when scrolling over bar icon (these are transparent when using transparent slider, except for calendar because of date)
- Midscreen Icons
and last but not least, the ones within the settings tab and tab config personalize options
If you could tell me, which ones you would like to change, I could provide you with the list for them

Which manila files are these?
Hi, manila files are located in the windows, if you change (copy paste) remember to backup the original ones.
This cab is for transparent bar operator, just to start ....... To me it works 100% with CHT. to make transparent the other bars, there are many cab we work with hd mini. There is a cab I think I ANASTASIA that makes everything transparent screen, calendar of 70%. the only thing that does not work with hd mini is the digital clock. My setup always with CHT.

If the cab is OK, it should restore the o files after uninstall - but you should ALWAYS know the files that are beeing modded/replaced, and if you don´t have your ROM files broken down already on PC, then you should back them up from device first
FlipClock background has two files:
BackGround normal = "31794a12_manila"
BackGround when "pressed" = "0b6f5c5e_manila"
Hi BHS,
thx fpr this file names. The Flip Clock background files are well known
I am searching the files for the top bar. In my Screen marked with number 2

You are still on CHT right?
Sure, check out 573d289b_manila It´s a manila qtc (image) file that can easily be modded to suit your needs for the Home Tab. And in one of Gabbana´s posts (actually two posts, one cab and one zip) where he offers transparent top bars for all tabs except the Music Tab... Sense Transparent top bar tab Maybe you have included them already in your collection of Gabbana´s work?

You,re welcome. If you try files, just remember to always backup the original ones, and if you are not sure about the origin or the changes in those files, replace them one by one and check for results...
This way, if "undesired" side effects happen, you can simply replace the file by the initial one
Unless a cab / install does a lot to your registry... In this case, an uninstall sometimes will not revert your registry back, but you can check in the cab for the changes.
Hi, i am new on this forum, but i have been following it for the past two months (great forum by the way). I own htc excalibur, and it is a great phone but there is only one thing I want to change and that are icons in start menu. I have found two softwares for changing icons ( JWMD icon changer, and Thekn's icon changer) and none of them worked on 3vo series ROM. So my question is, can someone help me, or make tutorial of making CAB file for icons, so when you install it on the phone all icons are changed. I have found one thread ( cant remember the name) where someone uploaded 2 packs of icons. If someone could show me how to make CAB file of icons, i will do my best to make as much icons packs as I can THANKS in advance
