Hey
Is it possible to create new themes for my Xperia?
I've used ThemeGenCEE but it doesn't seem to work. Even if I load an original theme and change the background, it doesn't work.
When I load the theme all I get is a blue background and grey bars.
Or do I need to supply extra files with the tsk when I copy iy yo the Windows folder?

hi
does anyone know where the native skin/theme files are for JJ? i dont mean the .tsk files i mean the (probably .dll) that controls the skin layout
forexample like there is a mui file that if replaced with custom images replaces the native wait thingie you see when the ppc is busy
im thinking if we can find and replace the actual .dll or mui file that controls the skin/theme (wifi, connection ,volume etc icons ) on the top bar then we can do soooo much more without having to install wa2 ...
dont get me wrong i love wa2 (i have it on with WAD now)
also like when you select ur own theme (.tsk file) ive seen that not all colors are shown as they were when the vga .tsk was created like you cant have a black theme ...wm5 will change it to gray and so on
so if you have any idea which file to mess with let me know..
id try myself but dont know which ones to look for and those i tried copying over to memory card or to pc via AS ..I GET A CANT COPY ERROR
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?
both resolutions
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...
Hi,
I'm trying to create a theme for a Dopod 838 Pro ( HTS Herems/TyTN ).
All I want is for the top and bottom bars to be red, all font to be white, and have my custom image insterted, so it loks right when flipped.
I don't want to have to screw around with XML files, if can be avoided.
So, What i've done is, got my hands onto a theme that has the attributes that I'm after.
It comes in TSK format.
So I opened the file with OCP cab manger, extracted it, substituted the images for my own and rebundled the file as a CAB.
Well, I did think it would work.
I was wrong
What is different between a CAB and TSK file ?
Why can't Cab Manager save them and have it operate as it was before.
?
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
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to restore the windows default icons back to original. I found the start menu icon editor, but thats not exactly what i''m looking for. The problem are the icons i see in file explorer for example, the folder icons looks like crap now (probably installed those icons sometime ago, but i wanna get rid of them )
So is there a way to completely restore ALL windows mobile 6.5 icons back to normal? (prefered incl start menu)
+1 ,also I need that for 6.1, cause I love to stuck with the clean original icons.
Also voting in for this. I'm about to change my icons, and it'd be good to have the original ones as a backup.
I made a mistake when replacing one icon with HComber. So I would like to restore the original icon.
Does anyone have a pack containing the original WM6.5 icons?
That would be very useful. Thanks.
use jwmd icon changer then move the path into \Windows directory.
there you can find all the resources.
or you can also dump them from the official wm6.5 emulator.
Thank you very much.
I also found a pack of original WM6.5 icons, for those who might be interested:
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=727
i recommend you to stick on your inside \Windows folder icons.
it's will be better on performance & not wasting your ram space.
quite bigger though if you put a lot of png's, especially those with 16.8colors
I used JWMD Icon Changer for my problem, works really well.
My problem was that I accidently removed the image/icon from three links/icons. I tried what muhrizky said, but no luck.
When JWMD scanned the Windows catalog it just stopped, I have no idea why. But the icons inside \Windows\,
so I searched for them with Total Command and copied them to my newly created folder(My Icons) on my storage card.
Once copied to the same folder I scanned that folder with JWMD and I could easily change back my icons =)
