Hi
I have changed all of my start menu icons on my HD2 using JWMD Icon Changer. (Stock 1.43 ROM WWE)
However, all of my quicklink icons are filled with shortcuts. Despite me changing the icons, only 2 of the 9 icons have updated their icons.
I have removed the unchanged icons and readded but they haven't changed still. Several soft reset's too.
What do I need to do to get them to change?
same problem here..
any solutions for that?
thx

Delete the folder: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher and restart.
This contains a cach for the icons used by the Manila program launcher.

hi all,
is thers any way that the icons in the magician could be changed,i mean we change the icon as per our mood??
If you are asking about the icons for the applications, then there is a way.
you can use 'Shortcut Creator' for that

just edit the shortcut and change the icon and save. the shortcuts can be found in windows\start menu

Very nice post
thanks dude.
no man,
i earlier had a moto ming,
so when i installed a theme,everything from the icons to color scheme to menu bar colors would change..it's almost like a new phone.
but in my magician(upgraded to wm6) only the nav bar colors and wallpapers and other such small things change....the icons in programs remain the same
if we could get a theme which changes icons itself then it would b grt
neways thanx 4 dis app.

in the magician, its only possible to change the colors and wallpaper with a tsk file. the icons cannot be changed.
i dont think its possible to change the icons using a theme in magician.
anyway the moto ming runs on linux
Hi, on Wm6.5 roms for the touch HD you can press and hold on the start menu items an move them arround but in the HD2 you can only send them to top. Thats is a really ugly to reorder lots of icons.
I think there must be a key in the registry to set this behaviour but cant find it.
Someone knows it?

I use JWMD Icon Changer V1.9 beta for Windows Mobile 6.5 to change the order of the start menu items... Works well.
Hope this helps...
This is not in the registry. Its in a SYS file named gwes ithink. Only way to fix it is by flashing to cooked ROM or update from HTC.

As far as I know this works only in later revisions of the os build. Maybe your Touch HD has a newer one.

Does JWMD work for anyone else on their HD2?
On my old phone both JWMD Icon Changer and Showaco reSTART worked great in arranging the icons. On the HD2 however, neither seems to work.
JWMD arranges most of the icons on my HD2, but it doesn't rearrange them all (like the settings icon, it appears randomly in the list) and the ones that it does rearrange don't stay where they are supposed to and move after a little while.
What has HTC done to the Start menu to make it different? Because rearranging icons worked great on my old phone with these same exact programs.

I think that behaviour can be cause htc icons are created every time the phone reboots. There is a cab somewhere here (i think is in the tips thread) that disable the recreation of icons so after that you will have no problem. I hope that works

Thanks for the input, but I already solved the issue (by doing a hard reset, heh).
JWMD works great now though, and with some spiffy icons makes my HD2 almost perfect - the disorganized icons were really bugging me.
Hello,
I have got HTC HD with WM 6.5 CE 5.2.23052, how to change bars (those bars where are battery, clock [on up] and windows icon, lock icon [on bottom]). Any application for it?
http://www.techparaiso.com/skins/taskbars/m6silver-color-and-black-metal-taskbar-icons/ -> chaned only icons.
Thanks!

Hi there,
first of all, make sure that you install sdkcert.cab, it can be found here in the downloads section at the bottom of post #2. Then simply install the relevant cab file to your device and it should change your taskbar icons.
Yes, but I want to change icons and bar
This app changed only icons.
And whats more I cannot access my menu after installing this app. [Icon with windows logo disappeared]
Ahh i think I now understand what you meant.
If you are wanting to change the appearance of both the Top Taskbar and Bottom Soft Keybar, this is how I did it:
I currently use Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1 to customise the appearance of my Home Screen and other screens (even where both the Taskbar and Soft Keybar reside to make them Transparent).
You can download and install the cab (install it to your sd card) for it here.
You first need to set a Background wallpaper first as it will not work properly with just the default background, normally you actually need to set a new background first.
Now, to set the Task bar and Soft KeyBar to transparent using Max TTM, open up Max TTM, go to the WM6.5 tab and under the Component Heading, make sure it is set as Both. Then only select the two bottom checkboxes (Enable Standard Deployment and Soft Reset after Convert), then click the Convert button to enforce the changes.
Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.
I hope this helps you out.
I just installed the official ROM for Topaz which brings us Sense 2.5. Now, I have changed all my icons on the whole phone to new ones but when I add one as quicklink in Sense it just shows the default one.
What can I do about this?
ArtieQ, you can find the icon path for the quick links in File Explorer->Application Data->HTC->ProgramLauncher. Those override the icons in the start menu. That would be one place to start. You could try deleting the default icon there and the icon you are using in your start menu should work. Be sure to backup/copy the default before deleting it.
The icons that don't show up is not in the ProgLauncher folder, why's that? Can't seem to fix this..
The way I've done it in the past is to delete the icon in programlauncher. HTC presets those icons to appear in quicklinks for the programs listed in that folder. All other programs use the icon in the startmenu. If you install new icons, they will not go into the programlauncher folder. So, if you see the icon you installed in the startmenu try deleting the associated default icon in programlauncher. For example, I wanted to use the google maps icon in the startmenu instead of the default one used by HTC in quicklinks. So I deleted the googlemaps icon in programlauncher and it then defaulted to the one in my startmenu.
I have some Mortscripts that I have as a quck link but they all show up with the same ugly script icon. Anyone know how to change these?
Thanks. I searched but couldn't find anything...
Im sure you have put the MS directly into startmenu, right? Make shortcuts of them which you put into the startmenu folder (just like you do with programs) and you will be able to change them.

Sorry but how do I "change them" actually. I understand how to make the shortcut in Programs but how do I actually change the appearance of the icon in Sense?
Ahh now i know what you mean (i think at least )
- Use p.ex. JWMD Icon Changer (and of course any desired icon png with resolution 128x128 you can find here in the forum or via google),
- Change the Icon,
- Clear all files in \application data\htc\proglauncher (because thats the cache for the shown icons, if u leave it nothing will change),
- Softreset your Phone
Now the icons should have changed
