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:

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 =)

Thank you.
Edit: Little Changes in the design...animelover told me, that jack isn´t good to see. Also a new pocket cm with kira knightly, a modified comm manger background and a modified nem menu background.
new welcomehead
Here is a welcomehead.96 (bootscreen) for those, who have no prophet. Look at your own welcomehead´s name in windows, and give this file the same name (welcomehead-96.png or welcomehead96.png....), make a backup of your file and replace it with the new.
After some questions:
Pocket CM Theme is not for version 0.16, only 0.15
Thx for so many downloads until today. Don´t forget, that you need to download all files for the installation. I couldn´t put them all in one folder.

There are some steps to do:
First use total commander and search for *.png- and *.brn-files in windows on your ppc. Mark them all and unmark in the properties "Read only". It takes a little while, then the write protection of your files is removed. Look at the name of our own welcomehead in windows and give the welcomehead from spiderman-theme-folder the same name. Sometimes they have different names like welcomehead96 or welcomehead.96 and so on. Copy all your downloaded *.png, *.brn and *.tsk-files files into windows. The ring must be taken to Windows/Ring. If you have a touch-like dialer, you can also use the dialer files. The usual wm6 dialer cannot be styled with these files, i heard from another user. The best is, to make a copy of your old files, if you want to replace them sometimes. Make a soft-reset and look, if your cube looks in the new style. If not, go into registry: HKLM/Software/HTC and look into your folder "Biotouch"/"Biotouch", what´s the path for the files there. It must be \Windows\A01.brn... not \Ext_Rom\A01.brn... I integrated a Biotouch.reg into the download folders. Compare the entries with your biotouch.reg. If you have the same entries, you can replace it with my file. Otherwise you must rename your paths manually from Ext-Rom to Windows. So your pocket pc read the windows files. The today theme can be selected in Start/Settings/ Today.
If you have pocket cm until version 0.15, you can take the cmt-file into your folder Program files/ Pocket CM and choose this theme in the program. Poicket CM 0.16 is not supported.
It´s a little work, but if you have done it once, you can use other themes in the same way.
Hi,
I am currently working on customizing my Cube to show my icons and programs.
I didn't want to overwrite the existing AL files, so I have put the custom files into: \My Documents\My Pictures\Cubeicons\Operamini_bottom.brn
but when I link to this in IconPath the cube is simply black at this icon?!
After one time usage, it shows the highlighted icon the whole time?!

To my knowledge, on the Nike (Dual) all icons have to be in \Windows\ - unless somebody has yet found a way of moving them and changing the default path? (please let me know if so!)
So, to solve your problem...
1. Copy your file into \Windows\, but call it something new so you don't have to overwrite any existing file.
2. Use the newest beta of Touch Settings (v2.12pre onwards) to change the icons - please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
.....if you want to change the MediaHub (3 app side) icons, at the moment you'll need to use the 'Advanced' tab and enter the full path manually.
hope this helps
Carlos
Thanks,
I have managed to overwrite existing files, so I do have my icons.
but changing all the animation screens, is a lot of work!
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! Need help...
I looked in the forum (Diamond and blackstone), but I cant seem to find a definitive answer...
Is there a way to restore the TF3D original (stock) menu/slider icons and taskbar icons in a blackstone?
I found the TF3D Config 0.67 tool for the diamond (that includes the "restore defaults" option), but HD user opinions are that it doesnt work properly on the blackstone, and it has some battery leakage issues...
I need this just because I was messing around and installed a few icons and transparencies (NisseDilligaf Sprintmenuicons and others), and I cant seem to uninstall them and revert to the original TF3D icons; didnt back up files , and now I'm trying to avoid a hard reset...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Afaik hard reset won't restore the original files since you've re-writen them in ROM. You need to flash the original ROM. Unless, of course, you can get a hold on the original files for your ROM.
Hm...even worst then... I'll check other ways of getting things back to "stock" icons...
any other thoughts anyone?

You can't rewrite files in rom.
To get original icons back you should find their files in windows folder and delete them. OS will simply recreate files from rom. If you can find them you can delete all manila files in windows folder (but that will take long time and you will loose all manila modifications). - that's for TF3D
As for taskbar icons you can install any other taskbar and uninstall it then.

Thanks...next time I screw it up, I'll know the "easy" solution...I did a hard reset yesterday and I recovered all the stock slider icons/config and taskbar icons as well...
So I'm new to all of this. I bought a touch diamond with Sprint just last week and stumbled upon this site for themes and apps. It seems to be a very cool site for customization, but i've been wondering where should i start if i want to make my own themes? I got CFC and Manila editor. Are there tutorials or manuals on using those programs? And is there a way to extract the preinstalled theme that came with my phone so i can modify it? Thanks for any help.

To extract your phone's TF3D files
To extract your phone's TF3D theme, connect it to your computer using Activesync (XP) or WMDC (Vista) and click on "Explore Files". While exploring your devices files, navigate to the Windows folder of your cell phone then sort the files by type. Look for a collection of files that end in "manila" (there should be ALOT). Copy EVERY file that ends with .manila from your device to a folder on your computer (give it a couple minute as there are many files to copy).
To copy manila files to a manila editor
Using either Manila Editor of CFC GUI (i personally think CFC GUI is much easier to use because it gives me less errors), click on "File" and "Select Folder" to navigate to the folder where you copied the manila files on your computer. Select the folder and the files will be loaded into the program
To make your own theme
Once you have copied the manila files and loaded them into either Manila Editor or CFC GUI, the next step is to replace some of the icons with the ones you want for your theme. In CFC GUI (I havent used Manila Editor and dont remember the buttons for this so I cant instruct how to use it), click on any of the files and you will get a preview of it. If you would like to SAVE that icon in a png format to edit (with Photoshop/Gimp etc.) click on "SAVE AS" and choose the directory in which you would like to save it. To replace a manila file with your own, click on the file then select "REPLACE WITH" and choose your file (NOTE: The file you choose absolutely MUST be the same size as the original. If the original file is 128x128, the file you replace it with must also be 128x128).
Thanks jrodi. Im thinkin of making one myself too. But I wasnt sure if the icon size has to be the same as original.

There are multiple ways to install a theme to your device but ill go through the easiest and quickest method using Total Commander
1) Copy the manila files that you changed to a new folder on your phone (Give this folder the name of your theme). Turn off the TF3D plugin (Settings/Today/Items/ Uncheck Tf3d). Then use Total Commander to find the new folder and copy all of the files in the folder to the Windows directoty of your device. If you get a prompt, select "Overwrite All" and give it a minute to replace the files. Soft reset your device and youre done
I was just looking through the windows folder of my diamond but there are no files ending in manila, is it because its the sprint version or something?
