Changing start menu icons?? - HTC Excalibur

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...

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 ?

WM 6.5 Theme {How To}

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.

Manila 2.5.1920 Font Color change?

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.

Same question here.
I found a thread where they talk about it but its not Manila 2.5.
So I would like to know which Files I have to edit in 2.5
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

thanks for the search for "text" tip that lead me right to what I needed.

ps. sorry for my bad english...

Change program icons in Manila 2.5

Hi,
I asked this before, but only got a program to change the program icons in the windows start menu...it didnt carry over to the program icons in manila (im using Valkyrie_v5.7 24001)
I would prefer to have all icons in a similar fashion...some are low res and some dont fill the rounded square well.
Hope this made sense
Thanks
Use the program, then once you've changed the icons, delete all the contents in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher then soft-reset.
By the way, I recommend nullstring's Icon Changer. He's an X1 user as well, so you're sure it'll work on your phone.

thank you..
never seen this post man, thanks alot! it works like a charm...i never realised that you had to delete those temp files!
im using the ireflect icons, i know they look like a gayphone...but they do look quite smart.
what icons you guys all use? im looking two that dont fit in at the moment;
ie icon (rounded corners)
marketplace (again, rounded corners)
If you are interested in some other ideas about icons, I can suggest those:
drik´s icon pack
dZenkinZ Iconset
tnynnt´s Application Icons
DINIK´s HD2 Icon Set
And maybe there´s even more on xda... those suggestions are just from the
forum I visit most these days...

Please Help !!!!!

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
