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,

I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks
What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...
yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.
this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas
that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...
The touch flow 3d programs tab uses the default crappy icons for the programs shortcuts, does any one know whether we can use our own slightly larger icons for these shortcuts?
Try TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab - I've installed them on the Touch HD and they work fine. Colour icons. Wish I knew who did them so I could attribute properly.
Edit: Oops. Too much haste reading your post. The above icons replace the TF3D tab icons, not those in the Programs tab.

This looks to be from the Diamond forum, does it include an icon for the Stocks tab??
It doesn't include a colour icon for the Stocks tab, so it still uses the original b/w one.
Overall, a very neat little upgrade!!

Yes, it works well sans the stock icon. I use this along with the NoTopCurtain and SemiTransparent_bottom_Bar and Pamas Transparent Slider. Provides a nicer look. Cheers.
Thanks AFW, have installed it and it looks much better than the original black.
regarding the topic of the thread, im not sure if its been discovered before but iv found a way to add your own icons in the programs.
Using resci registry editor or similur go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will notice that theres 23 folders in there
Now lets say you have atleast 1 program activated, the program details for that should be in folder "0", you will see in that folder that the path for the application is stated, you also notice that there is a string called "IconPath", put the path of the icon you want into that string and then save.
Move to a different tab (any other then programs) and then come back to the programs tab and you'l notice the icon has changed to your preference.
One slight issue is that the icons become really small, im looking into how that can be changed. Im asuming theres one of two solutions, either
1. Change the resolution of the icons
2. or set the size some how in the registry
(Im looking into it, and please post any findings you have in this thread)
Another discovery I made is that by copying one of the folders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher and then pasting it back into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher with the next number 24 (there are only 23 folders, represeting 23 possible program links in the programs tab) and saving it, gives you another possible application link in the programs tab.
The only problem with that is when you select it and add an application it remains blank.
Hi..
I'm having some difficulties downloading this file. Is there an alternative download site or can someone kindly email it to me? Much appreciated.

So, i used iDiamond once, and it was when i was still using a wm6.1 rom on my touch diamond. Now i have upgraded it to wm6.5 with tf3d, i installed the iDiamond on my phone again. I added icons, and arranged them without any problems.
The problem is that when i try to change their icons, i will get a blank white screen after clicking on the icon that i want to use.
All the icons i am using are sized 128x128 png format.
I was able to used the icons before i upgraded my rom.
I need help on that please. Thanks in advance.
Melvin.
just wanna ask can you set another wallpaper in the home page?!
Yes you can.
As above really -
Got a ton of icons on my storage card, but I have no idea how I can change the icons I'm currently using to the ones on the storage card. Or is it a lot more difficult than it sounds?

It IS possible, but I'll let one of the more experienced people here tell you exactly how (I'm not well-versed on the process.....yet).
But, in the meantime, would you be willing to zip up your icon collection and sharing it? I'm always looking for new icons to use...I can already replace them on the slider bar, next thing to learn is the program ones
Icons for Windows Mobile phone
Of course! I can't remember where I got them all - so I'm hoping the creators are happy for me to share them out.
536 icons in total (although there are a few duplicates - I mean 2 different icons for the same program).
Enjoy!
The question of how easy it is depends on which OS you're running... if it's 6.5 I recommend using JWMD's Icon Changer, but many recommend Showaco's reSTART. The 'how to' instructions for each app can be found in that thread I just linked.
If it's 6.1 it's more cumbersome as you have to edit the link. I don't bother with it and instead customize whatever shell I'm using at the time.
You're welcome to grab any of my folder icons listed in my sig
Thanks for the links!
Do these same programs change the icons on the home tab? I like the icons in my start menu, but the icons on the home tab are different for the same programs.
Hello everybody
Does somebody knows why in my Task Manager :
- HTC Calendar icon,
- HTC Footprints icon,
- HTC Music icon,
- HTC People icon
are all the same & with such a boring graphic ?
Have you a solution to change them knowing that I'm a beginner ?
Thank you in advance for help.
PS : I did not find a way to include a screen shot as I do not have an URL.
There is an addon that does it, I had exactly the same. There is an icon pack you cause use to put it back to default, but after my last hard reset I can't seem to locate it for love nor money, sooo I have used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080 and just Googled the images and resized and used them instead.
It's a bit long winded, but it's better than looking at those bloody white boxes.
Thank you Kalavere,
I will have a look at this thread
