Since the new ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504094) the Opera Browser Icon is very ugly.

Is there any way to change it? I prefer the transparent one...
Here a bigger picture, to proof that the new opera icon is quite ugly...
Anyone any idea how to replace it?
Ain't it though?
Step 1:
Create a .REG file with the contents below and import the .REG file:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\SelectIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\DefaultIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
Step 2:
Adjust the contents of .LNK (Opera Browser.lnk) icon file as follows:
Code:
39#"\Windows\OperaL.exe"?:Opera9ICO
Power off/on your device ... should do the trick.
HTH,
hilaireg,
thanks, though i have to ask again a bit. sorry!
step 1,
so i copy paste the whole content
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\SelectIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\DefaultIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
into a .txt-file, rename it to .reg and import and run it?
step 2,
because in the reg-file OperaL.exe is mentioned, I looked it up.
Seems as if the OperaL.exe has the same 'stupid' icon.
And how or where do I
Code:
Adjust the contents of .LNK (Opera Browser.lnk) icon file as follows:
Hi DaM79,
Step 1:
That is correct, create a .REG file with the complete contents of the "Code" window in the post. You'll need to use a utility to import the .REG file - ex: PHM Registry Editor, FdcSoft (dotFred) Task Manager, etc.
Step 2:
It does, the .REG file and the adjustment to the .LNK file instruct the system to use a different icon that is embedded inside the OPERAL.EXE file. An .EXE/.DLL file can typically contain many icon resources ... which is the case with OPERAL.EXE. You can use a utility to view icon resouces - ex: ResView.
The Opera Browser shortcut (.LNK) is usually found in .\Windows\Start Menu\... - you can use File Explorer to navigate to the folder location on your device - you may need to enable Show All Files in File Explorer.
HTH,
I tried to change it, but on my side I can't change the icon settings.
So I can't get the icon change to work one bit.
Do I need software to do it?
I also tried to import the registry file with PHM editor, but it grey's the option for it.
Everything you need is attached to my previous response.
Cheers,
Thank you for pointing that out to me.
I don't know why I haven't checked that post and tried the software you mentioned.
It works like a charm now. Thank you!

Hi,GilesTheAlmighty
The theme you needed here. It is done by my buddy-Kicd!
And you can download many beautiful themes from my friends in www.hkppc.com
Doesn't work for me
I tried this screen rotate fix on my TyTn (HTC Rom 1.35), and it doesn't work.
I looked at this, but quite frankly there are so many apps that include this as an included feature...
It does't work on my TyTN (ROM 2.11.258.1) ... Neiter the xelashiu's solution, nor vijay555's registry keys...
Is there a solution?!
Hello All,
I updated a few lines in my MortScripts, redownload the ichis.zip file and the new files are in the ichis directory, just overwrite the existing files in "\Program Files\rlToday\ichis\"
I wanted to release my rlToday theme. ALL icons are active and info is displayed. Let me know what you think.

To update weather:
a.) Either tap the one of the smaller icons (tomorrow/after tomorrow's forecast) if you are connected to the internet.
b.) Or, tap the big icon (current condition) to update via Google's SMS. once the message is recieved:
- Open the message
- Tap and hold and Select all
- Tap and hold and Copy
Then it will update the Today screen.
The reason I have an SMS option: I don't have a data plan other than when I'm at a WiFi spot. So, its really for me
If any of you get an error message, please post it here and let me know so I can add that icon/weather condition [Un]Fortunately, I live in New Mexico and its always Sunny and Clear, hehe.
AND I'd love feedback. If you use it, modify it, post your screen here!! I'd love to see what you guys come up with too!
Installation:
Inside the attached chis.zip file, you'll find everything you need:
1. Install MortScript 4.1
2. Install rlToday
3. Copy Sys-To-Reg-2.0 directory to \Program Files\
4. Copy cutouts.ttf to \Windows\Fonts\
5. Copy ichis directory to \Program Files\rlToday\
6. Run Sys-to-Reg-Install.mscr and allow it to run at Startup
7. Make ichis the skin in rlToday
8. (OPTIONAL) If you use S2U2 v1.00 or above, set the weather option to UserWeather in S2U2 Settings and copy the contents of the S2U2weather directory to \Program Files\S2U2\gfx\weather\
9. (OPTIONAL) Set the bg-black.bmp as your background with 0% transperancy via the WM Pictures & Videos application
10. (OPTIONAL) If you would like your own background behind the icons, I've included a bg.png file that has the transparency layer preserved and you may place another image behind it of your choice using your favorite image editor (ie. Photoshop) -OR- just make your favorite image your background.
11. SoftReset and Enjoy!
* Note: you may need to edit some of the applications that the skin.xml file launches. you can do so by editing the skin.xml file.
Recommended applications:
S2U2 by A_C
S2P by A_C
Google Maps by Google
Task Manager by DotFred.net
** I have my mail icon launching Gmail, if you don't have this account on your phone, you'll need to edit the gmail.lnk file to launch the appropriate account.
Special thanks to Mirko Schenk for MortScript, Allgemein and emerym at the rlToday forums and for Sys-to-Reg. Although Sys-to-Reg is currently version 3.0, I'm using 2.0 because it does what I need it to

Hehe, yea, The whole reason I use Sys-to-Reg is so that when there are no messages/missed calls it doesn't display a nasy "0" and its blank.
And the reason for the update via SMS option is because I dont have a data plan
Update
I updated the instructions a bit. This is my first release, so I'm thinking of things to add to the post as I go
wow!!!!!!
thanks in advance
Is it possible to change the icon of an EXE, a folder or a shortcut to an icon in the format .ICO or .BMP or something similar?
I know that it is possible to do this if your desired icon is inside a .dll file, but whats about a simple ICO file or a small BMP image? can they be assigned?
On my HD .ico files are opened with Opera and look like a regular Opera file - red "O" in the Explorer ... ugly...
Can someone help?
I want to change the folder icons in the start menu and to use this wonderful icons in TF3D:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Has no one an idea (((((
A last try to revive this topic.
I just can't believe Windows Mobile doesn't support ICO files!
Can I convert some ICO files to a DLL library using a tiny easy-to-use EXE?
i am also interested in changing folder icons for example.
tried copying a win vista dll to the pocket pc - and use SK Shortcut manager to open it. it worked but the icons were low res, no go for my hd.
i also tried making my own shell library but again encountered a problem. sk shortcut manager opened them, but found out that the icons where lacking transparency - bummer.
i was certain resco explorer could change icons (like windows on your pc can do from win explorer), but when i tried, theres no option i also tried file explorer w/ext's.. no go.. you might try total commander
sounds like you need something like
http://www.shelllabs.com/change_exe_icon.htm
though this is for windows
GOT IT !!!
Now I can customize my own icons
Look into my thread! Here is my DLL! In alpha state Try it out! Use Code: 1 to 17
justr modify the shortcut path of an *.INK file!
for example: "Blablabla\asdfasdf\Prog.exe"?windows\KSicon.dll-1
I maybe have a better idea to change a icon to own customized picture
1. go to http://www.shelllabs.com/iconchanger_download.htm and download the file IconChanger38.exe
2. Customize your own picturer (jpg, bmp, png)
3. Go to http://www.coolutils.com/Online-Image-Converter.php to change the
file extention (jpg, bmp, png) to .ico
4. Copy the (programname).exe from your phone to the Desktop
5. Right click on the (programname).exe and press Change icon
6. Search for the (filename).ico you want to have as icon (search on your desktop)
7. Then press Set and your (programname).exe icon will change
8. Put the changed (programname).exe file on your phone and reboot your phone
That's the trick
Restorator is best way to change icon for any filetypes.
http://www.bome.com/Restorator/
Just open file, search old icon, change with new and save file.
Howdy All,
Firstly i hope I'm putting this thread in the correct folder. If not, could the powers that be do some magic and move it to the appropriate topic.
Preamble: Using blackSTONEhenge (cookie and now slim) it bugged me that I had to have quicklinks to specific programs and not to specific folders e.g. Games or Office. After lots of searching, and I do mean lots, I managed to do this. credit must go to pgriffith in the Touch Diamond forum, and others.
Solution (for Games Folder shortcut): Unzip the _FolderView.exe in the zip file found by following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416092 post #3
Using Notepad, create a .lnk (that's .Lnk) shortcut file with the following:
66#"\Windows\_FolderView.exe" #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\?shellres.dll,-8229
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and save as Games.lnk. Don't forget the .lnk at the end.
Copy and Paste to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. You can now add the Games folder to your Quicklinks. The beauty about this is that uses the ROMS start menu and not File Explorer.
I tried the same with Office folder and it worked, except the icon is, as you can imagine, the games folder. My next challenge is to identify the Office icon number from shellres.dll and even better the HTC Sense icons. If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.
PS: If this has already been discussed, kindly ignore.

its not in "shellres.dll"
its here "officeres.dll, -3"

Thanks Raving Nanza. I realised my error.
For an Office Shortcut use
67#"\Windows\_FolderView.exe" #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office Mobile 2010\?officeres.dll,-7690
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Funnily enough when I changed it to -3 as per your suggestion Nanza, it was the same icon.
Any ideas on using the Sense Games icon that looks like a game controller instead of the Windows folder + card icon? Anyone know what the .dll file for the Quick folder is(i.e. the one with the toggle switches for BT, Wifi etc)?

ok i dont know how you got -7690 but it could be your version of officeres.dll is differant to mine, obviously coz in mine its icon number 3....
if its just the icon you want to change then make an icon and put it in the windows folder, name it something random and create a link to the icon then lable the link - icon.lnk... now put the icon.lnk into the folder you want to have the icon for, eg games/office... any folder to be honest.
but.. swiftly moving on:
when i made my rom i created my own dlls and icons for folders, using icofx.exe and reshacker.exe .... ive uploaded my dlls below..
the icons inside my dlls are:
windowsfoldericon.dll, -1 = WINDOWS FOLDER ICON
windowsfoldericon.dll, -2 = OFFICE FOLDER ICON
windowsfoldericon.dll, -3 = TOOLS FOLDER ICON
gamesicon.dll, -1 = GAMES FOLDER ICON

thanks mate,
but I can only find this rgu in that particular folder in my oskitchen:
21b6ed86-a505-4ad7-a4aa-b8bb93c926d9.rgu
it is probably a hidden file, have you got the hidden files toggle on in folder options?
the .rgu is definatly in both kitchens
i attatched an untouched bcdce8f2-eeed-407d-96c4-7b91608061b0.rgu from OSK/BUILD/OEM/OEMDrivers..
i have seen hidden files not show when the hidden files toggle is on.
i use acdsee photo manager to untick the hidden properties
(dont trust windows,acdsee photo manager shows all files regardless of the hidden attribute, the only reason i use that app )
you can download the acdsee version i use (v9) from here

I think skyguar might be getting a bit confused here. I think he is talking about trying to find the file on the phone its self. Skyguar you need to find the file in oskitchen its self before you build the rom. It probably is a hidden file in windows explorer. Its like editing the app.dat files or an app.reg file.
he is looking in his kitchen
