Hi guys.
Is it possible to change the program icons, and folder icons?
I've noticed that some roms have them diferent, (same program, same version, diferent icon) and i'd like to change them.
Thanks for any help.
SK has a tool for about $8 that allows you to choose a new icon for programs and folders through .dll's.
use resource hacker, freeware tool for editing resources of executables and DLL files
Like the Omnia ? Would be great if bluemetalaxe / poorlyduck / kidnamedalbert / other designers here do a updated WM6 icon pack, so they look a bit glassier or somewhat more modern.
Or even better: Doing such an app as SK did, so we all have another customization feature

Any freeware of software of icons and attaching them to files.

Thx
I found the ideal tool to manage short cut icons

Just need to find a bigger selection of icons..
1- how to change the fonts style on Today screen ? (or for all WM5)
2- how to change skins to Windows media and dial pad without installing any software (is there any way?)
3-what is the average memory "left" to have the PPC work smoothly without any slowdown or crash
i made those question that for some of you will be simple...just give a reply if you can...

1. Changing font style is not so straight forward (I assume you want to change the font not just the size - size is changed in settings\system\screen) - find the font you want and rename it tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf and copy and paste into \windows directory on device using total commander or gsfinder file explorers, then soft reset.
You can also fiddle with the fonts with pocket tweak - enclosed
2. Media player skins - the skins are not software just files with images - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58398&highlight=
3. Dialers - try http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/ dialers are just images overwriting the default ones - so not really software.
p.s. when pocket tweak installs its found in settings not programs
thanks so much im going to have fun with my QTEK and skins
Help
I changed the font following your instruction but it seems just become messy LOL
I renamed the font i like and I used total commander to copy in windows....now the problem is the font I used cannot correctly shown on PPC and it seems to read Arabian....in addition dunno why the fonts affect only some menu not all im quite confused on whats going on
ok i fomratted and use Pocket tweak but it chages all the fonts Except the today screen...why?
thanks Giordano

lol - told you it was not easy - pocket tweak only changes some of the fonts so not good for total change. If you want everything in arabic - then you need to use an arabic rom. I had success changing tahoma font to georgia font using method described. Perhaps you will have to try a few different fonts to get a nice effect. Remember you will need normal and bold versions of the font to make the change.
Do you always have to use a third party program to change the font style in WM5??
What is the Font option in the Settings/System menu for??
Made a skin for the hybrid (dual OS) user. For fun only.
Things used: WA3, HTC home, skins and icons from different authors, some new skinning knowledge. I dont have softkeys visible at the bottom (I use only the hard buttons) so I get more screen space. The black one below is my replacement for the green 6.1 screen.
Having Schap's Advanced Config and KaiserTweak helps in addition to the above programs user menus, and Wisbar skins by Juni are sweet. I personally photoshopped the magnifying glass in the bottom left for the popups for the new tasks, as well as the "A" for apps, and moved the settings from another HTC home customizer icon set. dThis is a fast layout that is really simple looking but everything is accessible by hardbutton maps and touchscreen UI.
I was going to call it something playing off the Parallels idea, but the Titan doesn't have enough ram to make that believable
I will give you the skins and icon folders if you like any of this.

Maybe if some people want it, I will post links to the programs and the skin files I made but I would like to learn how to skin mortplayer a bit better. I have to put together the slices so I can skin it with the same background (notice it is a mix of the default desktop backgrounds for the two OS).
dude i want it
Here is what you will need. You will need the following:
Wisbar Advanced: This is where you will use the skin from inside Macrosoft WA toolbar.zip. Install skin file while in wisbar then make sure the windows/apple icon is there in the folder. If not overwrite with the one from the archive.
HTC Home and HHC Customizer 1.0: First you will need to load the most current HTC Home and then open HHC Customizer. Download the following skins: 1. Background = Transparent 2. Clock = Segoe shaded transparent 3. Mac Leopard. I turned off weather and music. You can do what you want. You will need to put those icons in the HTC Home folder into the one on the phone in the HTC Home folder.
Macrosoft background can be opened in pictures and videos to set as background with 0% transparency.
You will need to overwrite the welcomehead.96.png file. Cut from this archive and paste to \Windows.
Next, run the macrosoft.cab for a replacement background on the phone skin.
Lastly, you will need mortplayer and then unzip vista.zip and extract vista.mpz to mortplayer's folder in \Program Files\Mortplayer then select that from the menu.
That's it. Let me know if you have problems or if I forget something.
Is there any tool to change default softbuttons? Or any hack able to replace ugly launcher tab with simple grid of icons of programs I want to launch directly? Default system with submenus is nice, but to actually run app you have to go through tons of submenus...
you can find infos+files and a link to the customize post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468547
customization is pretty much done like in with the original sbp-mobile-shell.
you have to change the xml-files in "qa_layouts.dat" and bitmaps in a vew other files.

Problem is, that there is only tip to app called keyswop, but it changes global softkeys, not the ones used in SPB panel. I wanted to change Recent/Contacts at the bottom of screen to something else...
Any more tips?
I like all these cooked roms very much. Great work!! What I would like to know is if it is possible to change the program icons and backgrounds to the default ones?
Like I said, I like the ROM's but, most of the time, don't like the graphical changes to the folder and program icons. Is it possible to revert them to the default ones....on a simple and easy way?
(the search function gave too many search results...)
