Hi
I have Mda Compact,i use c-launch and im having problems,uploading icons.
im saving in bitmap format and uploading but once on the today screen there is either a blank space,a black box shape,or the old standard icon.
hope somone may help
thank you
Must be wrong file format. Try to save via windows pantbrush.
btw, I am using a standart windows .dll file to inport icons from pc.
thanks very much ill try that
thanks again

thanks anyway
thx nice
There are some dialers available!
See below
But Someone is making a theme which should be more perfect than this one!
Still waiting on that!
Very very nice
Just to get this clear...
Do I simply back up my other GIFs and BMPs and overwrite them with these ones?
What about the .ini file?
Sorry, now I've read the ReadMe file
But I tried to copy out my old files and can only see the bmp files in Explorer on my PC. If I ask for the folder properties, the PC knows the gifs are in there but just won't show them. Any ideas?

That's no problem, yuou need photoshop or fireworks to view gif files. Maybe paint will view them also, i don't know
davehutch, yes in order to backup your existing dialler files you just need to copy the files in your PPC "windows" folder to a desktop folder. If you don't see all the files on desktop, go in Tools -> Folder Options and make sure that "Hide Protected Operating System Files" is not ticked.
I made a backup of the files and was able to restore backto default skin by just copying the files back.
Kept the intelidialler skin though ;-) I liked that, much neater than the default.
Hi guys.. i am very bored of the standard custom icons shown into Start-> Programs... so tonight i have done a cab which installs a "minimum.dll" file, which is an icon library, and who make follow dirs into the menu:
Applications
Games
Internet
Multimedia
Phone
System
Utility
Mobile Office
Network
In every dir there is an icon. file which has a string inside:
#\Windows\minimum.dll,-4
By changing the number, you can assign a different icon to the folder you're in.
If some rom cooker wants its custom set of icons.. pm me.. HERE is a good archive of icons
Attached the CAB, no need to reboot, & image of avaiable icons in Minimum icon set and its relative code.
SEE ALSO POST n°5
Nice work dear. Applause for it..
I think I will try to Cook my own rom using this. Thank will let you know how it works.
For Italian friends who asked for... tonight i'll post 3 Icons pack in cab format, note that the one posted is in english (..just rename folders' name in "programmi" directory
be patient
Ok guys, i have no time to make the cabs because i'm very busy at this time, however it's VERY SIMPLE.
All is explained in the first post (concerning the icon.lnk file inside the folder to skin).
In each zip there is the dll, to copy in \windows, and an image which describes the icon number.
If someone provide me some good icons, i'll pack them into a dll file.
To see the name of iconpack's image, wait with the mouse over and erad the filename.jpg
Thanks a lot mate
Youre the man!
I tried..
God job, thanks for information & sharing
hi there. Very good job but i can't understand how to install them
Lovely
I like this a lot!!
It is VGA icons? Or QVGA?
both resolutions
Great, Thanks a lot.
How do I create my own .dll? I have a lot of icons but no instruction to create a .dll of them.
If there a chance to pimp the folder background from white to some other colour or picture?

Hi SkizZO, How do I create my own .dll?
Thank you.
You have to pack 16x16,32x32, 64x64 images to an .ico file, or edit an .ico file deleting unwanted resolutions...
Then group all icons, numbered & ordered in an "Icon library"
I've used ArtIcons Pro to do this. The icon library has the .icl extension.
Now you have to compile it into a dll (I have used GConvert)
Remember that WM supports 256 colors icons, so if you use more colors, is wasted space.
PS: Post your icons here!!!
any chance i could use some folders with the same style as the ones already on my phone? ie the yellow games folder etc...
I found the location of the stock dialer .bmp files and i copied them to the storage card so i could change them to different colors. I can see they are there on the phone but when i look through the computer they do not show up. can someone help me out? Thanks

The files are most likely hidden, you will have to change the properties of the file or change the settings on your pc to see hidden files

even if they become unhidden, i dont think you can switch them out on your device because the files are cooked into the ROM, therefore undeleteable...if thats a word lol
Could also find a cab for the dialer your using and pull the files from the cab edit them the way you want and then put them back in the cab and install
Dialer BMP
Here is my dialer bmp files from sprint cdma Rhodium.
Just edit, put in windows reset phone
Thanks for the info.
Well I made my new dialer and i like the looks of it but can anyone point me in the direction of the background file or any other file that are associated with the overall screen when you press the phone? I hate the white background. Thanks for your help.
Hi guys.i have made 2 splash screens which are ported from windows 7.but i added some notes with photoshop.2 sound files (xp startup and shutting down) are available in a zip file.hope to enjoy it
you can rename the picture name to welcomehead.png and put it in windows folder or you can install advanced configuration tool v3.3.use this app to change the the startup splashscreen,startup .WAV file and shutdown .WAV file (recommended)...
NOTE: Download "480.800 pictures.zip" if u wanna have the real 480.800 resolution...
For VGA devices click HERE

And these are 2 wallpapers u can use as your wallpaper (included in the attachment of post1)
Where do you put the splash screens at....I am not sure where I would save them so that they show up when I launch
Actually these are pretty cool, thanks!
Think you could also work on black-themed Windows 7 splashes and wallpaper?
Much appreciated.
can someone make this into a cab please.
thanks
where r the files?
Nice work there, inspired me to change my wallpaper, so I came up with this:
drhadr.qsb.cz/stuff/black_win.jpg
drhadr.qsb.cz/stuff/black_win.png
drhadr.qsb.cz/stuff/black_win2.png
Turned out to be slim and elegant as a bg too
If anyone wants to add there any text/label, do it or tell me and I'll put it in there

after a while i found out how to replace it, let me know if u tried the same steps.
renamed the png file to welcomehead.192.png and made another copy of it and named it welcomehead.png
in resco i set some options to show hidden files, then i just moved both of them inside.
i think one of them was unnecessary but... it worked so.. lol
so i did a bit more research, u just need the welcomehead.png
the one with 192 is for a carrier splash.
if u want to use the jpg (i'm guessing it's faster?? i don't really notice much difference), u can put it in there aswell and go into registry.. i think HKLM/software/microsoft/splash and just change the value of the name
@rouzbehali
can plz upload the zip file again,its corrupted
and i noticed that the wallpapers are not 800*480
could u plz make a version with this size
thanx alot man
its very nice
zip files are fixed
sound files are uploaded again,thanks for your comments
ok.I will make more splash screens
OK windows mobile noob here with stock HD2...
How do I get rid of the stupid Tmobile "stick together" screen at startup and "Goodbye" at shut down? No one has explained that yet. I downloaded and installed the advanced configuration tool and every time I point it to the pics in the zip file on my sdcard and reboot...nothing changes...
I need step by step instructions here...

i got the splash screens to work but not the sounds.
easier way:
Just use advanced config to locate your files .
it is provided in the 1st post.

Is there any way to also get a shutdown screen? There is only a starting up file in the zip. Also, what's the best way to try to install the welcome/shutdown splash? Through the advanced config app or otherwise? And lastly, which splash screen does this replace, the orange windows mobile one, the T-Mobile one, or both? Any responses would be helpful.
the skin/theme you have is fantastic, with the clock and slide bar on the bottom. Could you please tell me where you got it or did you make it yourself?
