Changing program default icons?

Is there a way to change the default icon associated with a program on WM6?

so do i have to move the exe file into desktop, change icon, and move back?

You don't have to change the icons in the programs you can insted make a dll with icons and add to the links of the program.
so the link if opened with notepad would look something like this 98#"\Windows\cool_app_look.exe"?icon.dll,-46

you can also edit the icons in .exe with reshack

Top bar icon layout

How to replace this icon(see the picture) enclosed on the diamond rom on other rom??

You have to edit the file shellres.96.dll. Use a resource editor and edit the icon entries. Note that after you edit the dll, you have to sign it (I suggest "Multiple File Signer" from this forum).

Ok,the library shellres.96.dll.

[QUE] How to create a Manila theme?

Can anyone tell me what's the easiest way of creating a manila theme? I would like to make a slider with my own icons and background. Thanks in advance.

i second that...i'm also interested in givin back to the community

manila editor
just copy paste that to the search bar
when u've edited your manila files create a cab file from the changed manilla's
and voila u've got yourself a "theme"

You can also use CFC Gui to export manila files as png, edit them and then replace them with your own gfx.
CFC Gui also supports lossless image compression to save ram, your manilla.exe must be patched first though.

[Tutorial][Cook]CAB Theme to OEM

Hi guys,
it took a lot of time but i figured out how to cook in a theme and make i default
What you need (would link, but i'm a new user and can't)
Theme as CAB-File
reg2provxml by ervius
package creator by ervius
What to do:
start the package creator, choose your theme-cab and convert it
inside the folder containing the cab file there ist a subfolder, named as the theme-cab (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\)
there u find a .tsk file, rename it to cab and convert this with the packagecreator
there will be an another subfolder, with has an rgu file (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\folder named like tsk)
rename the cab back to tsk
combine the rgu files and add the follwing line:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\windows\\ThemeName.tsk"
convert the rgu with reg2provxml
rename the provxml file to "mxipupdate_themename_001.provxml"
cook in and you are done, theme is loaded by default

Nice work
It will be easier if u keep ur theme file *.*.tsk as it and include it in ur Config.txt file

how to change start icon and wait cursor from modules

hi to all
how i can change start icon and wait cursor from modules in the kitchen?

You need to edit shellres.192(96/128).dll with Restorator

can you explain me better please?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1)Recmod the file (if it is in modules):unzip the osrecmod tool and drop the unmoduled file over recmod.exe
2)Unsign the file dropping it over unsigner tool.(ofcourse unzip the file tool first).You must then see your file loosing 1-2kb...
3)Open the file with restorator or reshack (its free but needs more time to do the job)
4)Change the icons (they are in ico extension so your images should have the same extension and dimension).
In the first series of icons is the waiting cursor.Find another series and replace them.Nice cursors are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803756
Images must have the same dimensions as the original ones.
Find the start icon and replace it.Save the file.
5)Sign the file with msigner tool.You must then see your file gaining 1-2kb.
6)Remodule the file and drop it in its original place in your kitchen.
Maybe unsigning and signing not needed if you cook the file but I have not tried it.I always sign my file.
