customizing the slider in the locked screen - Touch HD Themes and Apps

hey guys.
i run manila 2.5 on my htc hd and would like to customize the slider in the lock screen. is there any way to change the lock symbol to another graphic? in my opinion the best way would be to find the icon somewhere in the system and manipulate it...

i took a look into the windows folder of my device. there is a folder named LockScreen but no files in there that look like i could use them. if there's no way to change this icon itself maybe you could recommend a tool to customize the whole locked screen?
tanks in advance

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.

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 ?

Touch HD icon

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!

You can just use m9editor. The only thing you need to do for a slider with mode9 might be to hide the active tab icon when that tab is selected with a transparent slider (otherwise you get an overlap of 2 icons when using a transparent slider). To change the graphic files, you would use cfcgui. Choose the slider and export to png with that program. Edit png to your liking and place it back in manila file with cfcgui.

That's actually what I want to do exactly
I looked at the m9editor and opened some extracted manila files, but I don't quite understand the parameters Do you know what I have to edit exactly to remove the overlapping image?

Supreme Shortcuts customised icons!!

i have maanged to input customised icons for supreme shotcuts
basically the xap , u unzip it into a folder to view its contents
then navigate to icons folder within it
u will see icons there for every shortcut, just replace them with yr own
but there is a problem l with it.
they dont match the standard size icon within the tile on the homescreens . it looks oversized inside the tile
so u need to have an image bigger than 50x50 px and u need an border it into a 64x64
so yr entire image will be a smaller image within a 64x64 border but the theme colour will not match the phone and u cant change themes to reflect it
a program called batch pro can do this
i would appreciate if anyone can show me a easier way to do this
of course the whole thing is easier if the tile colour is black, which unfortunately we cant choose black in themes
Why not just use the icon switcher that's already built into the app?
/me bangs head on desk.
Why do people not read the post before doing silly things

Read the supreme shortcuts thread properly before you start posting!

Question about Sense 4 skins

Hokay so... when you change the sense skin, it modifies the lock screen ring that you pull as well as the popup windows that appear on the lock screen.
I was wondering if there was a way to change those things without having to set a skin. Reason being... the skin that has my favorite lock screen ring has the ugliest preview windows. I'd like to be able to customize them myself. Just not sure if anyone knows how to do that.
