Okay folks, before you accuse me of being a noob and tell me to "Search Search Search", rest assured that I am not a noob, I've been around the block MANY times and I know the search routine.. I've been searching for the past few hours and have come up with nothing.
That being said..
I am trying to change the icons in the WM6.1 Control Panel. I have been able to successfully change a handful of icons by resource hacking either the Executable, the DLL, or the corresponding CPL file. This doesn't change the fact that I am having a really hard time figuring out how to change the rest of the icons in the WM6.1 Control Panel.
For this I am humbly asking you all for your help.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
shellres.192.dll has the icons...
Thank you very much. Search was coming up empty but now thank to you I'm more than half done.
Thanks again,
Dan

Appologies if this has been covered before. I searched a few ways but found nothing.
I am trying to change the color of the battery, sound, sync, etc icons. I looked through all the materials for themes and windows internal colors and was unable to find a registry key for them. I tried tweaking all the values for unknown keys and still had no effect. I located the icons in the windows directory and they appear to be using the classic two color substitution game for .bmp files. I have been trying to determine how windows mobile assigns the color for the icons but have been unable to locate it.
I was curious if anyone knew or had come across how windows deals with this, if it was some obscure registry key or came from somewhere in the rom. I had located online allusions to the idea that oems could mess with the icons but unfortunately no details to explain how.
If you can help, I would be most thankful.
Regards,
Rudy
They're bitmaps embedded in some of the rom dlls. I posted about it once, but couldn't find my own post on the issue . I think I know a way to change them now, but can't remember which dll they were in. I think it was shell*dll or something... if and when and remember, I'll try knocking together a solution.

Interesting, I'll look around in the dlls and see what I can find. I found what seemed to be the bitmaps used in the bar lying loose in the \Windows directory. I'll try editing them to see if it changes their appearance in the top row.
I am most interested in changing their color. I cannot seem to find anywhere where they they derrive the values that the icons substitute colors for.
Thanks for your response.

the file was shellres32.dll
Here is the post where we were talking about this i still never managed to do it so if you have figured out a way would be much appreicated.

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and can't find a way to remove the start text. How do I do this?
Thanks
bump
if I wasn't specific enough, I don't want it to say Start on the today screen. I only want the windows logo to be there.
thanks
I searched a while back, couldn't find out how to do that either. I also wanted to removed the gradient background behind it on the home screen. That would allow me to use smarttook kit's auto-hide feature. Free home some home screen space and add a pretty cool affect. I don't know if it's in the registry or not, but I looked on my Excalibur and couldn't make it happen. I also tried a few things in the homescreens xml file. Still drew a blank.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.
wisbar advance can do it
Possible in one of the "today*.dll" files. I tried to copy to desktop so I can take a look but can't gain access.
Anyone know how to get system files off a device?

3rd: do yourself a favor and spend some time reading this forum and it´s information, 1641 people before asked the same question before, again, again and again
sorry for double post... i wish ive could move the post...but however
do you got some link for me or something, cuz i was unlucky using the search engine
start settings today change theme/skin, change back to what you want, done.
I myself had the prob, i was very lucky with the search engine...
no idea why some are so intolerant of newbies :/
very rude!
Hi, is there any program or tweak to add one or more new softkeys on the bottom bar besides the original left and right softkeys?
The new softkey can be associated with different shortcuts for quick program loading/menu display/convenient operations on different programs' interface, (not just today screen). So it will give users an easy DIY method to improve some programs' users interface.
Thanks!

I did have done the search work quit a long time before posting this thread.
Actually I know lots of ways to re-map the softkeys and hard buttons. I also found the solution to add new options in the softkeys' menu list.
But my question is to ADD one/more new SOFTKEY. I do appreciate if you can just confirm me that you do have seen any solution for my question. Then I will do the search work harder but hopefully .
Thank you for your reply.

Thank you!
Actually I know SKMenu can do this job, in some way. I am seeking a simple solution/program, which is more flexible and powerful for the above-mentioned purpose.
a far as i know there is no way for that. but if you need so much buttons i would use one of the many launchers.
Wisbar Advance 3 can show one more Button, I think!
any advise will be greatly apreciated
On the home screen of my diamond 2, below the touchflo slider icons i have two links one is 'Phone' the other is 'Camera'.
Basically i want to change the 'Camera' link to 'Contacts' or 'All People' so i can quickly access my contacts.
Im sure this is possible, can any one point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance

**Edit, removing program**
tried keyswop but it didnt work for me
managed to get it working with diamond tweaks but it only had a set amount of programs to choose from, i wanted 'HTC people' version of contacts but it only listed the windows mobile layout of the contacts... yeah i know i am being a bit picky!!!!
is there any way of adding htc people to the list?
Thanks for all the advice mate
I just find this:

You may try HDTools or Advanced Config aswell, I remember it worked for me when I had WM6.1, but should work also with 6.5, since the registry keys are the same in that area.
EDIT: I thought that it wouldn't be very smart to install a whole app just to get one tweak..so I made a little .cab that should link the Left Soft Key to Contacts. Tested and working on my device, I hope it works for you!
Install on your device (not SD) and soft reset, that's it. To revert to previous configuration just uninstall the .cab in the usual way.
That may help You forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2
thanks for the ideas i will try them out.
This forum is awsome and thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply.
