Have you tried google? I actually typed "convert tga to png" and found millions of them on google.. most are paid software. If you dont want to pay for them, some give you free trial and I bet you can use it.... if you search more, i am sure you will find some free ones too..
maybe you could put up the pics here, and i am sure, some of u would help

Hello
to convert the icons from one format to another is one thing, the easiest. But the most important is, which icon name matches the correct one in the home plugin.
For exsample name pocket weather is 1.tga, does it match with HH_WEATHER_01.png at the home plug in? Not that the forecast says rain and it shows son because I used the wrong icon name.

Today plugin

Hi guys,
think anyone can help me with something?
i need to modify or to create a theme for my wizard to show something on the today screen.
this is the plugin
<plugin clsid="{4824B576-EFFE-45cf-BAE9-649B930CD244}" name="owner" height="65" autoheight="false">
<label font-size="19" valign="bottom">
<text><notes/></text>
</label>
</plugin>
how can i add it to a theme?
this is how it suppose to look like
Thats an xml plugin for smartphone - that will not work on the wizard as it uses different plugins. Look around plenty of free plugins that will do what you want.
give me an example for this
Thanks
Mr Jay, it would be helpful if you tell us what the plugin is supposed to do. It's not clear from your screenshot.

Free: Claunch

Pay: ilauncher

sorry man
it's about MTS (mobile tracking system) it's a program like Celltracker but a little more advanced. the cells are renamed and it's showing on your today screen your curent location and it's updating from the program. the guys who created just made it work on wizard and i want to have this on my today screen.
here is the link for the program (if it's not right to show hte link pls let me know and i'll delete it.)

Neat idea, I liked celltracker.

Your xml file plugin is about owner info and set to go at the bottom - sorry dont understand how that is linked to celltracker??
the program basically does the same thing as CellTracker. it shows you the current cell that you are in.
Try nicetrack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=262111&highlight=cell+info
try this thread too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=265689&highlight=cell+info looks like dktoday may do the job.
ok now i got the infos from the guys who created it.
what i need is a plugin to do this:
MTS is writing the necesarry info in registries (in notes - owner) all i need is a plugin to show the owner on the homescreen.

I have a question to the graphic designers who are "in the know"

im trying to come out with an iphone/cube with the new ultimate launcher that is similar to the release I was going to make on WAD... you can see a preview a few pages back on this thread if you want to see it... the only problem that im having is how to convert torx png icons to ico files... i converted them myself, but i cant get the background on them to stay transparent... if someone can help me out with this... itd be much appreciated... because i will be able to release this design to the public
please help
Which programs have you used?
I remember I once used Microangelo and it worked fine. It's not free, though, and I don't think you can do any batch converting if you have lots of files that needs to be converted.

yea, thats my problem... i dont think ill need a program like this after this project, so i dont want to have to buy a program... the one i used was "abc" i think it was "advanced batch converter"
but, yes that is crucial... id like to be able to do these all at once... instead of one at a time... i have several different icon packs... akumas icons and the torx icons... if anyone is willing to convert them for me... your efforts will be acknowledged when i release the ul skin...
if anyone can help, id appreciate it... thanks
Ok, then I don't think I can help you
Try "ICOFX" (Freeware) , i made my UL-Cube Icons with it. Converts everything to ico, also "all at once".

Please, can you tell me what options did you set in ICOFX to create your icons?
I'm trying to build some in my own but when I upload them into UL the resolution doesn't look so good.
thanks..

Looking for Photo Dialer for Ultimate Launch.

I'm trying to find a today plugin that will allow me to have a panel on my UL that just has photo dial pictures.
So it really just needs to be a nice today plugin that is a photo dialer..Anyone?
what you can do is create your own link and make your own photo icon
I created the photo icons myself so that the frame matches my theme...
I also use this program called "go2contact" that allows you to open up the contact screen via command line...
thanks got go2contact to work and it brings me to the contact page so i can pick what number to dial or sms whatever...thanks
hey,
i also was looking for a photo dialer plugin and i found a plugin that was from the Treo 700w that works great on my Kaiser. It allows you to have a row of photo contacts and then also add more contacts without photos underneath if you prefer. for more information and to download the plugin go to

Put it will be 3 tab to 5 contacts.
why dont you al make a fotodialer tab just with ul ? you just need the makecall.exe from daniel who created UL:
www.ultimatelaunch.de. you find it on the left side. its a a part of "smartutilities". put it on your phone make under command a link to that. under "params" you just write the phonenumber. thats it, and so easy.
this is one is good

i liked this one. nothing much to do. just add the contacts..
Thanks for the info guys I really like those dialers they are nice but the only thing is the pics are just a bit smaller then what I would like but it may have to do..
thanks again
I still haven't found one that does exactly what I want... i'm going to attempt to make my own using UL author's Smartapps dialer app... Course with that, I have to make my own ICO files... time to take some photos of people.

This is a bit of a digress... any such utility to create short cut for SMS? Now I'm using Mort Button. But I like how UL works. Would prefer not to 'launch' another application.

Just download the program like he said. You create your own icons, and bam, done! it works very well. I'm using it...
thanks for the dialtab program! works great for ul!
Well I decided to create my own icons.. so i used photos (photoshop elements) in .jpg format and saved them in irfanview as .ico format, but UL won't open them. Can someone tell me which icon/graphics program I can use that will convert other formats to *.ico format?

Longtime Downloader? u just joined arround 10-15 days ago.

I only have this one, which is an upscaled version of a 240x320 file I found somewhere on the net. It's sufficient as background for, say, a theme for MortButtons.

Search for Contact Changer or Contact Fix. This does what you're looking for, even better it's free & works a treat. Hope this helps.
Try this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549477
Saw this somewhere, maybe on here..sorry to OP, cannot find original.
If you sync with outlook
Click on the person name
say the name is john smith if you click the “file as” drop down. it will show two option
“Smith john” and “john smith” click which one you want
You will need to do this to each name
Its only 3 click with a mouse so it wont take long unless you got 500 name to change lol…….
that sucks alot.. lol

SIMPLE SOLUTION: Just download and install the freeware application Contact Fix, also called Contact Changer on this website. Install the application (click on the .cab file within the file explorer of your phone). Then open the application by clicking on the shortcut in the windows menu. When you run it, it orders ALL your contact at once in less than a second, almost instantly. It won't change the default order though, so when you a new contact, you'll have to run the app again. But it's so easy and quick!
