Hi All,
I would love to create a thread that is a central hub for the following...
1. A series of steps on HOW to change icons on Roms...from folders, to programs etc
2. A set of icons or a library of icons people can download to use.
3. Make cabs to allow others to download and install on their HD easily
There is an example of some of this on the HD2...but what about our HD?
Can anyone help with any of these aspects?
Thanks
J

I love the yellow folder icons in some of the new 6.5 roms but there were not enough category folders. So.... I designed my own in Photoshop so that they would totally match the existing icons in the Start Menu.
Install restart app.
Extract and copy the png icons to storage card\Programs\restart\icons folder.
Go to windows\start menu\programs and add new folders such as Web, Travel, Audio, Video, Fun, Utilities, etc etc
Launch restart to change the default folder icons to the new icons.

Better solution (free).
JWMD Icon Changer V1.9 beta
"iReflect": 439 HighRes/Quality Icons made for Windows Mobile
Hello
I'm looking out for solution to change programs and folders icons then store my choice somewhere to make restore it easier after OS flash.
All known solutions allow to change icons manually. No automate process. Only one program allows to save theme (changed icons) but it cannot change folder icons. Newest beta allows this with folders but doesn't support saving the work.
In other words... dead end.
But maybe you can help me, and point me to files/registers or something, in which new icons are stored. Those data would be backed up.
Any help appreciated.
Best regards

You're talking about start menu items, right? And on what WM version are you on?
AFAIK, the folder icons are stored within the folders themselves:
\windows\start menu\programs
So to backup your start menu, you should just copy the files and save them somewhere else. By the way: You could have Sashimi automatically restore the start menu!
Thank you but I think you are wrong.
There are links in windows\start menu\programs' but not icons. Links are about 20-40 bytes large so cannot contain icons which are up to 20kB large each.
BTW:
I'm using WM6.5.1

Ah! That's the problem... I'm talking about WM 6.1!
On 6.5, the icons are actually stored via paths in the registry - check out this article for more info: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/wi...using-custom-icons-in-windows-mobile-6-5.aspx
Where it says "Registry Keys" you should find the info you're looking for!
This article is very helpful.
Thank you.
Hello,
i just want to share my Homescreen-Appearance with all of you and give the germans out there a helpin hand.
It took/takes alot of time to find the files and cabs that made the homescreen look like the screens attached, and so its easier to find them in one single post.
Everybody who wants to have a nearly german manila can use the files attached.
Everybody else: only the files that are described to be german are german so u can use the other files without limitation
All files can be found in xda-forum or htc-developers etc...
They are free to download, therefore BIG THX to the developers.!
I haven't made the cabs/manila-files myself so i CAN'T and WON'T give support if they don't work with your HD.
The manila-language files are edited by myself.
I'm using Miri WM 6.5 WWE 21889 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 18.0 (latest Manila 1922 and working "My Location" signed rilphone 1.15.25.14, cab from Cortez.I)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542104
Radio: 1.17.25.09
So i can fully confirm they are workin with this ROM and RADIO.
If I change the language of a WWE Rom via the registry i loose at least SMS incoming sound, there is no fix!, so far (others reported u will loose much more...)
So i decided to edit only the manila language files to have most of the functions and buttons in GERMAN and set the manila to german in settings: (Settings->Locale & text->Location->Region:German(Germany)) for correct Date and Currency!
The manila files have to be copied with Total-Commander (or similar tool) to the \Windows\*.* folder and overwrite the old ones,
AFTER removing the DESCRIPTION i added to file name. Example:
2c89bd29_manila25-germanhomescreen ---> 2c89bd29_manila (its the language file for "normal" WWE en-us)
And of course u have to Softreset after installing the cabs or files!
U cannot rollback after u copied the files unless u saved the original files first or someone is making a .cab of them!!!
5fa4d4b7_manila25-wvganoflippingclock:
the clock still flips but the unnecessary flipping if u are going back to homescreen will be stopped.
The background is stock right after flashing the ROM. But i have switched off the Weather animation via registry because if u switch the animation off by using an animation wallpaper, there is no simply black Background (Miri has cooked this background from the LEO)
HKCU/Software/HTC/manila/Home.WallpaperMode
change from dword 0 to dword:1.
The weather animation in Home tab will be disabled
I hope, everybody is enjoying these changes like i do....
P.S. rest of the files second post.
