Ay Guys Just Upgraded To (Kavana Rom with Shadow icons) etc... and i love it only part that annoys me is the myfavs how do i go about removing it from my home screen i dont have the service so i dont need the stupid thing to show up on my homescreen is there a way to remove it once and for all? if so please reply with directions on how to do so. thanks.
Look for my Chome Panel Chooser thread in this forum and use it to "unselect" it form the homescreen. Or use tjlogix's Chome Configurator utility a few posts down...
Hello xda's, altough I'm not that technically savvy, I managed to learn how to create and manage icons to use in creating Chome Configs panels. Thanks to some xda members like Stylez and Nrg for their help so here it goes, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
Find your icon, I like using the icons from www.iconspedia.com, their icons are hardcore and of course hi-res.
The icon size is 22x22 with the highest dpi you can manage. To resize the icons I use Paint.Net(Stlyez ) this program is so ridiculously simple its not even funny, just play with it for a minute and you'll have your icon outputted in no time at all.
Icon Name (like the say, "don't know why it is, it just is" lol)
To have some common factor I use the name Chome in my icons that will be used in my panels ie.
chome_gps_sat_active.png
chome_gps_desat_inactive.png
or you can just name it - icon_sat_active.png and icon_desat_inactive.png but again notice the common factor
I don't know why its sat_active.png and desat_inactive.png but all the icons have to end in that format. Once you have your icons launch Chome Config and create your panel ie. Gps, once you see it go inside and create your 1st page, at the top it says:
Panel Icons:
here you'll follow the aforementioned format including the path of the icons like so:
\Windows\chome_gps_sat_active.png;\Windows\chome_gps_desat_inactive.pg
I highlighted the ";" so you don't forget, if you mess up the icon name or path, you'll end up seeing a red icon with an "x" in the middle, alerting you that something is wrong
The active icon is the icon that will show up when you select that panel and the inactive icon is the icon that will show up when you are not in that panel. If you put the both icons the same, then common sense dictates that the panel will use only one icon for inactive and active views, a lot folks like to have inactive and active icons just to show a little contrast but the choice is strictly yours, and that's why I think this is such a great piece of software, its so configurable yet simple to use once you get the basics. Below are a couple of my icons I used for my Gps panel that holds the following apps: Garmin, Google Maps, Live Search. The little color icon is my active and the bw is my inactive and the original, so you're able to compare the scaled down versions
Well I hope this helps someone and again if some of the more technical members can add some more knowledge, please comment
Good post man, looks like it took some time to do this... So lets keep this post up in order for people to see it and not start new threads asking questions on this topic...
Re: Setting Up Panels
To carry on the subject here is how to set up your CMYApplication the same goes for all panels.
Here is what it look like:
I have set up Opera Mobile
The Red arrow is the name of panel when condensed "not on the panel"
The Blue is the name shown on the top of panel when expanded
The Green is the location of the .exe "program want to open"
The Purple is the location of the picture .png "i place mine on storage card in a folder called PNG"
You may find that page 2 doesn't show as i think there is a bug i have had it on both ROMs hide the page and make a new one to get 20 pages for 20 programs
Hope this helps.
Excellent guys !

Nice post man... I like the picture tutorial
Re: Making Panel
Here is a video of me making an Office panel please do not copy my location of the .exe's as they will be different.
But this will show you how to make your own panels
Hope it helps.

I try my best lol just on the up to my Tube, then will post link saves people having to download shame that can embed vids on here, or can we?
I did some searching around, but I couldn't find an answer. Has anyone indexed these panel icons, and the reference numbers for the default? I'm trying to find a panel icon for the myfaves in black and white, so that I can add it to my quick dialer panel. Any thoughts?

There you go.
This is such a good post lol I use it still lol as I tend to keep forgetting 1 or 2 steps...
lol, stylez did a great a job on the video, we should have more of these, how about one for featherweather2, any takers
Nice work I somehow managed to not comment a long while back. I figured some of this out thru trial and error but some of the tutorial actually helps me tinker even more if I want too. It just sucks that one must redo all of it again with a simple flash...

Thanks.
There must be more we can do through walk through edit.cpr? I got a how to change the panel with PE which i could upload but maybe we need a thread deicated to it all?
Blackjack2 you could change the title to something else like Video & Picture tutorials?
Just a thought...
I feel dumb but is there any docs on how to use Chome I cannot seem to figure it out and I don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks!
You're looking at one buddy, just ask and we'll tell you.
This was very helpful, as I was sort of lost. I had the right idea, but some things weren't totally right until the picture tutorial that stylez put together. Thanks so much.
Great job to both of you.
I added a link to this thread in the original CHome Configurator thread.
Opera on panel
Hello,
Ive been trying to add favorites from opera to a panel, is there a tutorial somewhere how to do this ?
I actually have not been able to add Opera mini to a panel but I think this is how I installed Opera mini..I went to mini.opera.com and installed it but to access the application I have to go to start/java/launch opera.. I can find opera in the application list if I use the template for apps in ChromeConfig and it does add it to a panel it just doesnt work lol
So if anyone knows how to get either of those to work would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for your tutorials but I am still not able to get my icons to show up. The icons on the top bar(_sat_active.png and _desat_inactive.png) show up just fine but it is the individual icons that dont show. This is the case for both my applications as well as my contacts. Any suggestions?
Hi guys, I'm looking for some nice icon replacements for Top bar icons(only tabs that in line with start menu icon), cos I found the original set is the way too drab, and I'd like have something simple but colourful. since I can't make one on my own, if there is anyone got nice cabs, please share with me~~
Try this link dude.
This is a link to Mallmans top bar.
You need to install Sdkcerts.cab first, then the top bar. Links are in order:

Mallman's Coloured topbar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=130465&d=1226877598
Alternatively check the forum, this is where I got the link to Mallmans Topbar, but there are a number of others who have posted their own. You just need to choose the one you like best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445497

If I selected one of the existing cabs what would it change after i install it? I'm JUST looking to change the PANEL only. But if someone could just edit the default rose panel and put a subtle black hint to it...and put it in a cab...yeah, that'd be tits.
Are these the files?
/windows/Focus_Panel_Landscape.png
/windows/FocusPanel_Action_Landscape.png
Well I looked em up using Resco and viewed em on the phone. Sure don't look like what's on the home screen...I'm going to copy them to the desktop and take a look later.
