Hi I have tomtom installed (josh black rom or what ever its called) and it has the 3x3 large quick start grid on the home tab. The default tomtom icon is very low res and ugly can i make my own icon and replace it and if so how?

Yes it can be replaced with a higher-res version. There's numerous threads over in the 'themes & apps' section with icon sets and instructions on how to get them on your phone. Many of the aftermarket icon sets do include much nicer versions of the tomtom program launch icon.
Thanks very much I'll go for a hunt

I would like to know if it's possible to customize the HTC Home plugin (as found in the full Indigo ROM for example), specifically:
1. Change the typeface (font) on the clock, the digital clock is kinda boring.
2. Make the Weather section poll a different weather service than accuweather, I find their values consistently off for my area.
3. Use colour icons for the 5 tabs instead of the Touch-styled grey ones.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, guys!
I've done a search but cannot find the answer!
When I received my MDA4 from T-mobile, on the shipped ROM, the resolution in the PROGRAMS and SETTINGS were higher, thus more icons (I think it was 5 or 6 icons wide)displayed on the screen.
I've installed Panosha's ROM (which by the way is excellent) and it's back to 3 icons width!
Anyone got any ideas how I can change it so I can use a higher resolution to display more icons or make the icons smaller?
I hope this makes sense?? Any help appreciated

No 29!
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

thanks dude i hav the 6.5 energy rom with titanium and manila
I have made an icon for a contact but i cant get the transparency to work.
Its a .png and its transparent on my computer.
Anyone knows how to make icons transparent on the Tpuch HD?
Is there some kind of masking-colour?
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.

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)

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...

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.
