Know anybody the way to use alpha-channel bmp (transparency) for window "wait" icon? It "lives" in shellres.192.dll (96), bitmaps 4896-4911.
...or use ico instead bmp images. Need to hex edit any file? Which one?
Stupid square icon already touch me.
Unfortunately there is no way to do it with shellres.192.dll.
But you can chech my application that replaces the standard WM cursor handler (shellres) supporting PNG with transparency.
This is MWC2.2 (the latest available version): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383161
And this is the preview of MWC3 which is about to be released: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469504

Hi guys.. i am very bored of the standard custom icons shown into Start-> Programs... so tonight i have done a cab which installs a "minimum.dll" file, which is an icon library, and who make follow dirs into the menu:
Applications
Games
Internet
Multimedia
Phone
System
Utility
Mobile Office
Network
In every dir there is an icon. file which has a string inside:
#\Windows\minimum.dll,-4
By changing the number, you can assign a different icon to the folder you're in.
If some rom cooker wants its custom set of icons.. pm me.. HERE is a good archive of icons
Attached the CAB, no need to reboot, & image of avaiable icons in Minimum icon set and its relative code.
SEE ALSO POST n°5
Nice work dear. Applause for it..
I think I will try to Cook my own rom using this. Thank will let you know how it works.
For Italian friends who asked for... tonight i'll post 3 Icons pack in cab format, note that the one posted is in english (..just rename folders' name in "programmi" directory
be patient
Ok guys, i have no time to make the cabs because i'm very busy at this time, however it's VERY SIMPLE.
All is explained in the first post (concerning the icon.lnk file inside the folder to skin).
In each zip there is the dll, to copy in \windows, and an image which describes the icon number.
If someone provide me some good icons, i'll pack them into a dll file.
To see the name of iconpack's image, wait with the mouse over and erad the filename.jpg
Thanks a lot mate
Youre the man!
I tried..
God job, thanks for information & sharing
hi there. Very good job but i can't understand how to install them
Lovely
I like this a lot!!
It is VGA icons? Or QVGA?

Great, Thanks a lot.
How do I create my own .dll? I have a lot of icons but no instruction to create a .dll of them.
If there a chance to pimp the folder background from white to some other colour or picture?

Hi SkizZO, How do I create my own .dll?
Thank you.
You have to pack 16x16,32x32, 64x64 images to an .ico file, or edit an .ico file deleting unwanted resolutions...
Then group all icons, numbered & ordered in an "Icon library"
I've used ArtIcons Pro to do this. The icon library has the .icl extension.
Now you have to compile it into a dll (I have used GConvert)
Remember that WM supports 256 colors icons, so if you use more colors, is wasted space.
PS: Post your icons here!!!
any chance i could use some folders with the same style as the ones already on my phone? ie the yellow games folder etc...
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

god luck
Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm trying to change the icon of a shortcut I created to Resco Photo Viewer and then tried to change the Icon with a PNG to no avail. Is this even possible?
SK ShortcutCreator, somewhere in development thread is another one Shortcutmaker. U'll have to convert it to dll or icl but there a loads of apps to manipulate with icons....(for PC)
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).
Marshall
Ok,the library shellres.96.dll.
Editing..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571
NotLutzik you have editing this dll for me?
Regards.
First of all, the start menu icon
i got help from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2271995&postcount=8
and u can see how i got it on my BA
Want it??
the file is attached too. (signed already)
rename the file as shellres.96.dll
and paste this file in ur \Windows folder in ur device
Ofcourse u have to make a backup of originall shellres.96.dll too
Njoy this nice gray start menu icon
MORE ICONS ON THE WAY, I AM STILL DISCOVERING bout the icon changing thingi.
POST UR ICONS IN "PNG" with transparent background and in a multiple of 8 width and height that is 16x16, 24x24, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256.
so that i may get more time in modding rather in finding
GL all and happy modding. Atlast folder icon changing will work
Step 2, Changing the default folder icons
here are they
EDIT: the resource hacker is showing the folder icons in two pairs (16x16 and 32x32). If i am gonna replace one, the whole icon group gets changed. so uptill here no luck. will some body help me making a dll file with two icons (one for 16x16 and other for 32x32)
One small note,
the complete name of the file being replaced is shellres.96.dll.0409.mui
The reason I am making this comment is because depending on the rom (WWE or any other country ID), this might change. For instance, WWE is 0409, but I believe that German was 040C.
Other than that, good post. Let us know when you are able to change the system folders.
the mui exists there for localization thingi
I have used shellres.96.dll, the one i have pasted here and the screenshot is of my BA's. So I say authentic. I havent tried ur method since i am going fine
Now about the folders, the problem comes with pointing two icons in same icondump (i-e i need to have a file (like shell32.dll in windows for PC) which should only contain 32x32 folder icon (normal) and 16x16 icon (small). I dont know how to make such icon resource files. I have all PNG sets for my desired icons. I straight away convert them through an activeX based converter. Then THE PROBLEM IS ABOUT DUMPING TWO .ICO FILES IN ONE .ICO
