3-what is the average memory "left" to have the PPC work smoothly without any slowdown or crash

1. Changing font style is not so straight forward (I assume you want to change the font not just the size - size is changed in settings\system\screen) - find the font you want and rename it tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf and copy and paste into \windows directory on device using total commander or gsfinder file explorers, then soft reset.
You can also fiddle with the fonts with pocket tweak - enclosed
2. Media player skins - the skins are not software just files with images - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58398&highlight=
3. Dialers - try http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/ dialers are just images overwriting the default ones - so not really software.
p.s. when pocket tweak installs its found in settings not programs
thanks so much im going to have fun with my QTEK and skins

I changed the font following your instruction but it seems just become messy LOL
I renamed the font i like and I used total commander to copy in windows....now the problem is the font I used cannot correctly shown on PPC and it seems to read Arabian....in addition dunno why the fonts affect only some menu not all im quite confused on whats going on
ok i fomratted and use Pocket tweak but it chages all the fonts Except the today screen...why?
thanks Giordano

lol - told you it was not easy - pocket tweak only changes some of the fonts so not good for total change. If you want everything in arabic - then you need to use an arabic rom. I had success changing tahoma font to georgia font using method described. Perhaps you will have to try a few different fonts to get a nice effect. Remember you will need normal and bold versions of the font to make the change.
Do you always have to use a third party program to change the font style in WM5??
What is the Font option in the Settings/System menu for??
I've changed two apps in HTC Quick Launch today plugin: TomTom and Windows Live Seach instead of Action Screen and Camera. I've successfuly edited the xml files and saved over the ones burnt in rom (my custom Artemis rom has Quick Launch built-in).
So now the right applications run if I hit the second or third icon, but the icons are still the old ones. I tried to create bmp files from TomTom and Live Search icons, but they resulted very ugly and almost invisible. Finally I deleted them. I am very bad at graphical works... :-(
So I need help from someone more skilled in picture-editing: please create for me those 4 icons (normal and masked) for the two new apps!
Thanks a lot in advance!
cheers,
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to change the icons of the stock today plug-ins, like Calendar, Tasks and so on. Is there a dll library somewhere in the Windows directory where I can replace the old icons with new ones? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I like all these cooked roms very much. Great work!! What I would like to know is if it is possible to change the program icons and backgrounds to the default ones?
Like I said, I like the ROM's but, most of the time, don't like the graphical changes to the folder and program icons. Is it possible to revert them to the default ones....on a simple and easy way?
(the search function gave too many search results...)

a program called reStart helps change folder icons with png files, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379
Thanks!!!!
Alright, so I think I've exhausted nearly all ideas for changing these icons. I can't seem to be able to change:
-Office Mobile folder icon or app icons
-Setting's cpl icon
-Any other settings icons
I've tried the reg entries as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664109
And I've manually replaced the .png's in the sys folders (base dpi etc) and that was a no go.
I guess I'm not sure what else I can do lol maybe I'm doing something incorrectly :/
