Anyone know how to add your own icons for programs you add to the launcher? The default selections had custom icons, but when I add a program from the list to an empty laucher spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can that be changed?
Hmm
If its on the storage card it may not use a icon. How ever if it is in the Main mem it should use the current icon on the shortcut. There is a program to change them but did u install the HTC Home Customizer!?
Yes, I installed the customizer, and chose an Icon set. When i went to the "Launcher" tab, there were about 6 entire already there, like "backlight" and "Launch Program Folder" and "Lock Device"
All of those options had custom icons. However, if I add an app to a blank spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can I provide an icon of my own choosing for the phone to use in that launcher spot?
I would like to do exactly the same. have nice launcher icons for other programs. Like GroupSMS. Help Anyone?

I was poking around in the registry and noticed therfe was a value called iconpath in HKLM/software/HTC something or other. Maybe that would work?
Its best to resize them to 32x32 before setting them as custom icons or your launcher looks messy. Took a while before I could my the Opera icon right I store in the My Pictures folder and Im doing just fine.
How?
You said you were able to resize the icons, did you do that with the directory listed above?
there is a tutorial on the HHC site.
Im having the same issue. Im using the stock Spb MS / Suite / Weather / Plus tabbed layout. When I added programs last night *some* of them showed up correctly, but now this morning after powering back on, many are the default windows icon.Example: Resco registry editor and Resco explorer. I tried changing the icon, but in Spb's menu it only shows icons in Spb's bank of icons.
Very annoying. Still playing....

Hi,
while trying to rearrange my program screen (via creating new sub-folders and cut and paste the links to these new folders)
on the HTC HD2 I "lost" the icon for the HTC_Calender program
I now only have a white/blue general folder like icon now.
The link is working though, HTC Calender starts.
Anybody knows, how I can rearange the correct icon for the link ?
The icon itself seems to be apparent in the /windows folder
as HTC_calendar.?
Thx for help

Try a soft reset, if you haven't done one yet.
Install the program JWMD Icon Changer and find the calender icon and select it to load to default icon.
I just installed the official ROM for Topaz which brings us Sense 2.5. Now, I have changed all my icons on the whole phone to new ones but when I add one as quicklink in Sense it just shows the default one.
What can I do about this?
ArtieQ, you can find the icon path for the quick links in File Explorer->Application Data->HTC->ProgramLauncher. Those override the icons in the start menu. That would be one place to start. You could try deleting the default icon there and the icon you are using in your start menu should work. Be sure to backup/copy the default before deleting it.
The icons that don't show up is not in the ProgLauncher folder, why's that? Can't seem to fix this..
The way I've done it in the past is to delete the icon in programlauncher. HTC presets those icons to appear in quicklinks for the programs listed in that folder. All other programs use the icon in the startmenu. If you install new icons, they will not go into the programlauncher folder. So, if you see the icon you installed in the startmenu try deleting the associated default icon in programlauncher. For example, I wanted to use the google maps icon in the startmenu instead of the default one used by HTC in quicklinks. So I deleted the googlemaps icon in programlauncher and it then defaulted to the one in my startmenu.
Well i notice all the apps shortcuts have been gone when you install a new ROM. Is there anyway i could get the music icon or tweeter icon to my shortcut app launch? i really will love to have those shortcut back to my square boxes. thanks
Launch Cookie's Home Tab Editor and "export settings". Make sure you save the file to your storage card.
Then re-import the settings after you've finished the Flash.
Start Menu -> look at my HTC_Calendar and HTC_Music app - they both do not have the nice HTC icons (musical note icon and HTC Calendar app icon - the one you get when you hover over the calendar in the slider). It used to be there and when I tried to copy the file from the storage location to another location and copied it back, it no longer shows the icon - just the generic blue stripe at the top, white window icon. Any idea how I can make it so it generates and shows the nice icon? I looked at the .lnk file using notepad and noticed it points to ManillaShortcut music or calendar. That's it. There's no reference to an icon file or anything like that. Is there a reg key or something? Thanks in advance.
Can someone look in their Start Menu and tell me what (this is stock 2.13 ROM) the lnk is called and what it should point to? Currently - it is called HTC_Calendar and HTC_Music.
