Custom Icons on Winmo 6.1 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I know I've seen a post for this before, but it has been lost in the infinite pages of this website.
Does anyone know of a guide, or can tell me how to make my own icons for my apps?
Do I need to use coding?
Is there an app to do this?
Please help! Looking to customize my spb shell to look more proffetional, and sleek!
Thanks!

Windows Mobile 5.0 Themes???

I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.
Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.

It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...
Try this one:

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....
svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them
Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?
Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?
guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))
yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.
i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...
Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

Skins/Themes for SPB Mobile Shell

Are there any skins or themes available for the mobile shell? i dont like default silver one but the handling is so good... if anyone know, pleas let me know, too ^^
regards
i'd like to know this too thanks
I´m not sure wether you are talking about the Spb panel or the full software, but anyway here you have some nice themes for the full application.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380103
And for the PANEL??? There's any possibility that we can skin it???
I checked it out. It seems possible. Just overwrite/change the theme files in the SPB panel folder.
Here's an howto for creating themes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378367
I was going to do it myself, but the amount of images to replace was a little overwhelming.
EDIT: tried changing a couple of icons, works fine. Might take a shot at creating a skin the coming days.

Problem with Omnia theme

Hey everybody,
sorry for opening a new thread but this is really important to me since Im a real noob in stuff like that.
I found that one here and I love this theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424479
well my problem is, that when I'm installing the CAB nothing changed.
Then I realized that I need to install SbP Mobile Shell 2.1.2 right?
I did that and installed the CAB file again. But when I start my program its completly deformed, no bar, no icons and some weird arrows showing to the right.
What can I do to get this theme running on my diamond? Can somebody give me a GOOD instruction?
Thank you very much...

Buy an Omnia
Seriously, this wont work good on Diamond.
The skin is QVGA resolution, and Diamond is VGA, this is why it is looking obscure for you.
well but is there any chance to get that skin on the diamond?

Try using search or google. They really do work. Searching xda-developers turns up some of the best icons ever.
Unless you are specifically looking for specific icons that come with winmo 6.5? In that case, I would reword your post so that is clear.

Reading his post might have helped you a bit. He's looking for 6.5 icons specificly, not just any old icons.
Searching Google gave this result: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486072
Google can't answer everything, someone has to actually answer the question somewhere for that to happen.
thx 'helterskelter'
it seems that these icons were not extracted yet. If I would have the dll I could do it, but ... looking forward for the WM 6.5 shell icons ;-)

Need help making a custom slider

Hi I was wondering if anyone could make a custom slider for my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I used to use HDwall but since I upgraded to 6.5 it no longer works. I have all the icons ready in a zip file I just need someone to make them into a cab that would work with my phone. If anyone can help me please reply or send me a pm and I will get the Icons to you.
P.S. they are alienware style icons that would match a wallpaper I have. so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Plus you could have a cool looking slider for yourself and everyone on here.
Oh yeah I'm running Win Mo 6.5 Sense 2.1 if you need more info I can get more.
