I'm not sure about PNG's , but i use BRN.
Store it in Windows Folder, and if you are replacing the originals due to haveing the same name file, you need an explorer that can overwrite system files. ex. resco explorer( Thats what i use whenever i copy files and need overwriting )
ohh i see just use the samfile name and overwrite them.
do the media hub and 3 X2 launcher have different size icons or it doesn't really matter?
i was hoping for when Touch settings comes out for us on the vogue, we can just select the picture file manually? But i want to convert the pics to BRN. Got it!

how were you able to overwrite the file if its under windows directory with 2000+ files? im using memmaid. and it wont let me see all the 2000+ files under \windows
i actually have to create a new folder and have it point to that directory using the registry.

I took the originals BRN of the Music, Sprint TV, and On Demand icons and convert it to size so that it will fit properly when i am playing Audio Manager with the functions displayed. Just like in the picture.
dont need that , need to know do i need to make different icon sizes for the 3X2 launcher or the Media hub... I can also just make PNG then save them as BMP, then convert them to BRN.??? THen when touch settings comes out, i can just use the icons through that prog. My question is where do i save the pics. I want to keep original pics there as well. But right now i also want these pics.
Hi,
I am currently working on customizing my Cube to show my icons and programs.
I didn't want to overwrite the existing AL files, so I have put the custom files into: \My Documents\My Pictures\Cubeicons\Operamini_bottom.brn
but when I link to this in IconPath the cube is simply black at this icon?!
After one time usage, it shows the highlighted icon the whole time?!

To my knowledge, on the Nike (Dual) all icons have to be in \Windows\ - unless somebody has yet found a way of moving them and changing the default path? (please let me know if so!)
So, to solve your problem...
1. Copy your file into \Windows\, but call it something new so you don't have to overwrite any existing file.
2. Use the newest beta of Touch Settings (v2.12pre onwards) to change the icons - please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
.....if you want to change the MediaHub (3 app side) icons, at the moment you'll need to use the 'Advanced' tab and enter the full path manually.
hope this helps

Thanks,
I have managed to overwrite existing files, so I do have my icons.
but changing all the animation screens, is a lot of work!
Is there a way to change the default icon associated with a program on WM6?
so do i have to move the exe file into desktop, change icon, and move back?
You don't have to change the icons in the programs you can insted make a dll with icons and add to the links of the program.
so the link if opened with notepad would look something like this 98#"\Windows\cool_app_look.exe"?icon.dll,-46
you can also edit the icons in .exe with reshack

I have been learning a lot about iconizing everything these last days, and I created some custom folders Vista style. So anyone ho wants to order his or here applications, here are some folders to put them in. They are VGA (tested) and should also be QVGA.
I named the folder 1 to 18, so everybody can decide for themselves which folder to to use for what purpose.
Since I use quickcab to create my cabs, which doesn't allow me put in the folder files, it's been split in two. A Vista Folders.zip which contains the Vista Icons.dll. Install this one in \Windows. The other one is a zip file which contains the Folder folder, with inside (who would have guessed...) the folders. Just copy them to your device (although I don't think copying them to the storage card works) and voila some more folders to up our devices. So, screenshots:
I hope you like them, and no I have not got any other folders (these are all vista offers)
Edit: I managed to create a .cab file that installs these into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. For those that don't have a English/WWE ROM I'll make another one that installs the folders into \Folder folder.
Edit 2: I updated the Vista folders, as Skizzo pointed out I left some files in the .dll files that made it unnecessarily big.
There is one icon set that is very dear to me, which is the Buuf icon set by Manhattan. Of this set I have selected a couple of folder icons most likely to be used in a ppc environment. This guy (or girl) created over 1500 icons in this style which you can find on DeviantArt. These are my default folder icons, so I thought I'd share. Screen shots!:
Download the 12aon Vista Folders.cab here
Download the 12aon Buuf Folders.cab here
Hi,
well done! thanks for sharing! could you tell me how to show up the new icon.
i have installed the DLL file on Windows and also the other one. now?
thanks
ciao
I managed to create a .cab file, which installs the folders to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, I will make another cab later that install the "Folder folder" into the root of the device, cheers 12
brilliant app
nice work
installed cab and ow i have folders in programs but how to make one of that folder for default?
so how to let say make that mypictures allways show as vista(mypictures) folder?
thx
Can you upload the Buuf folder icons here?
I can't download them from Rapidshare. (download limit reached)
Never mind, can download it now.
12aon
thanks you for your work
can you make a step by step how you do that ?
something with notepad or worldpad i think !
@intel, You have see hidden items enabled on your computer (I don't think you can from your device). In each folder you will find a icon.lnk file, just copy this one into the desired folder and you should be fine. An ohter way would be just to copy the folder created by me and put it in the desired place, rename and copy your files (you'll find these in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs)
@Aqrab: I don't really need to someone a little smarter than me explained this with much detail here. Do note that if you want to create these yourself you must be able to create .dll icon files. I hope this helps
is there any chance of making more vista folders icons ?
4 MB ?? it is too big!!... have you included only 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64 icons??? (only those size is needed)
BTW, i HAVE others program icons, all made by me..

No need to get cranky, I'm not trying to cross you just trying to contribute. I found the vista .dll file and thought I'd help out. Great news mine are also different fom yours so the people have got some extra choice as which of them to use. I'll resize it the .dll file file.
@ Aqrab: As for other folder, as mentioned Skizzo has created some others. But these are all the vista folders windows offers. I could however create some ore icons like WMP, and My Computer. Just give me a list of icons you need and I will create a cab file, cheers 12aon
Edit: updated to Vista Folders 1.1
12aon
you forgot to update the Attached Files to Vista Folders 1.1 !

I beg to differ Just click on the original link
First of all, the start menu icon
i got help from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2271995&postcount=8
and u can see how i got it on my BA
Want it??
the file is attached too. (signed already)
rename the file as shellres.96.dll
and paste this file in ur \Windows folder in ur device
Ofcourse u have to make a backup of originall shellres.96.dll too
Njoy this nice gray start menu icon
MORE ICONS ON THE WAY, I AM STILL DISCOVERING bout the icon changing thingi.
POST UR ICONS IN "PNG" with transparent background and in a multiple of 8 width and height that is 16x16, 24x24, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256.
so that i may get more time in modding rather in finding
GL all and happy modding. Atlast folder icon changing will work
Step 2, Changing the default folder icons
here are they
EDIT: the resource hacker is showing the folder icons in two pairs (16x16 and 32x32). If i am gonna replace one, the whole icon group gets changed. so uptill here no luck. will some body help me making a dll file with two icons (one for 16x16 and other for 32x32)
One small note,
the complete name of the file being replaced is shellres.96.dll.0409.mui
The reason I am making this comment is because depending on the rom (WWE or any other country ID), this might change. For instance, WWE is 0409, but I believe that German was 040C.
Other than that, good post. Let us know when you are able to change the system folders.
the mui exists there for localization thingi
I have used shellres.96.dll, the one i have pasted here and the screenshot is of my BA's. So I say authentic. I havent tried ur method since i am going fine
Now about the folders, the problem comes with pointing two icons in same icondump (i-e i need to have a file (like shell32.dll in windows for PC) which should only contain 32x32 folder icon (normal) and 16x16 icon (small). I dont know how to make such icon resource files. I have all PNG sets for my desired icons. I straight away convert them through an activeX based converter. Then THE PROBLEM IS ABOUT DUMPING TWO .ICO FILES IN ONE .ICO
