Is it possible to edit the programs tab so that the icons are the size of the "box" that contains them? I've successfully removed the background of the icons (replacing the manila file with a blank png), but to look right the icons need to be larger.
Thanks.

I am using VJDialer (Thanks vijay555) with cLaunch and i want to make some icons so i can use Pocket Plus to launch the dialer nd get rid of cLaunch.
cLaunch allows you to create icons from pictures. How do i go about making the same for SPB. For instance the pic i have below
Cheers
There are 66 different icons in Pocket Plus. To change icon tap and hold it and select Change Icon from pop-up menu. You can also add you own icon to the list. Find "custom16.png" and "custom32.png" in "\Program Files\PocketPlus\Icons" folder on your device. Copy these files to your desktop. Now you can edit these files with any image editor. To add new icon you should create two similar icons of size 16x16 and 32x32 pixels. Add 16x16 icon to the end of the "custom16.png", and add 32x32 icon to the end of the "custom32.png". Make sure that after editing "custom16.png" has height 16 pixels and its width can be divided to 16. Check the same with the "custom32.png" image - its height should be 32 pixels and width can be divided to 32. Copy these files back to "\Program Files\PocketPlus\Icons" folder on your device and perform a soft reset. Now your icon is added to the list and you can use it.
Xilicon, that's a very nice tip there. The built-in icons are OK when using them for apps etc. but when using them with VJDialer and VJSMS you would need different icons for different ppl. There's no point putting a laptop icon for a shortcut that calls my wife!
I'll try this image editing thing tip now ...
kta - I hope the icon is meant to be a phone, not a laptop! I ripped it from XP!
Check this thread for some discussion on how to create the icons:
http://www.modaco.com/Today_Screen_Hacks-t227321.html
and for WAD etc
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=58236
Basically, to get a cute picture of the wife etc, load a nice photo of her up into an art program, eg paint shop pro.
"Crop" the image as closely as possible to her face: this is going to be reduced to 32x32, so make it recognisable.
"Reduce" the image to 32x32.
Now I would reduce the colour to 256, but that's up to you.
In claunch, you can load the bmps directly; you can make icons using an icon editor, eg Microangelo. On the version I've got, basically, just start a 32x32 XP Colour icon, copy and paste directly from your art prog into Microangelo, and then if you want to, reduce the colours.
Save the .ico and use at will.
Again, for my own nausea, I decided to make a dll full of icons to keep all my images in one file. This can be done with microangelo librarian or Visual Studio if you're really hard core.
For Pocket Plus, just use the png format instead of bmp or ico.
BTW new versions of VJSMS etc coming in the next day or so

I meant the default icons of SPB Pocket Plus not your telephone icon ;-) So what's new in your VJSMS?
OK I've tried the SPB Pocket Plus trick but it seems that it's only allowing 1 extra icon (totalling 67). Anyone managed to create more than just one extra icon?
EDIT: You need to close SPB Pocket Plus and reload before the icons appear in the list!
VJSMS is the same, just a new brother and sister and minor improvements!

I would like to use color icons for today items like call history, calendar, alarm on/off.
Does anybody know if it is possible to replace these black and white icons?
they are not icons.they are part of one of the manila files.
you have to find the correct file,
extract the image to photoshop or similar,
then change the bit you want to change,
save new image,
put new image back in the manila file,
and then overwrite the file in your phone with the new one.
easy really.
Hello,
Can anyone please tell me how to change the program icon size from the launcher tab (not the background squares, but the actual icon)?
I hate some of the stock icons for my programs / scripts, so I replaced them with different icons using the registry, but for some reason it shrinks them down to something like 32x32 or 64x64, the default size everyone has. My plan is to get rid of the background box altogether and go with like a 128x128 icon if possible.
I am not sure if there is a registry setting I am missing or if you have to hex edit a manilla file. I am open to either.
Thanks,
Josh
Not possible...
I may be wrong, because whenever anyone is explaining why something can't be done, they're usually interupted by the person doing it! I think you'll find the image size is hard-coded into Manila. Whatever size you make the image file, it will always be stretched to 'fill' the picture box on the launcher tab

TouchFlo Tab Icon
Add TouchFlo Tab Icon
Thanks Bro..!
Add new screenshot, many new fonts also windows taskbar
I am loving #14. Only glitche with it is in Weather Tab the large temp is not fully displayed. Happen to know which manila file controls the size for the temp area? Maybe it can be edited so the temp shows up.
Thanks for an awesome font. May include it in my ROM if you don't mind
Thanks for the fonts! I've got a problem, though. I installed the "41" system & touchflo fonts, but it didn't change any touchflo fonts. Any ideas what I did wrong (by installing one cab to system memory)?
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.
