Change Manila Home Quicklink icon - HD2 General

I'm using stock rom 1.48.832.1 CHT
I've set one of the home quicklink icon to http://touch.facebook.com, but I really don't like it use a thumbnail cache of the page as the icon... So I went to registry and changed the path of the icon to the facebook.lnk pointing to the Facebook app... However Manila refused to refresh the icon...
I've also try to work it out another way round... Set the quicklink to the facebook app and change the address manually to http://touch.facebook.com... However when I press the icon it still launched the facebook app....
My goal: To set a quicklink pointing to http://touch.facebook.com with the facebook app as the icon
Anyone know what I've done wrong? Thanks

I "lost" the HTC_Calender icon

Hi,
while trying to rearrange my program screen (via creating new sub-folders and cut and paste the links to these new folders)
on the HTC HD2 I "lost" the icon for the HTC_Calender program
I now only have a white/blue general folder like icon now.
The link is working though, HTC Calender starts.
Anybody knows, how I can rearange the correct icon for the link ?
The icon itself seems to be apparent in the /windows folder
as HTC_calendar.?
Thx for help
gersi
Try a soft reset, if you haven't done one yet.
Install the program JWMD Icon Changer and find the calender icon and select it to load to default icon.

Quicklink icons aren't the same as in the startmenu

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.

How to do away with animated clouds on stock rom (2.13)?

Im curious how to remove the animated clouds on the stock rom (2.13.xxxx)
I have everything setup the way I like and just cant figure this out.
Thanks in advance!
I was able to finally accomplish this with Cookies Home Tab Editor. I'm relatively sure it was that and not HDWalls.

Yes, CHTE has the option for that (not HDW)...it's a quicklink you can add once you have that installed.
There's also a registry edit that will do the same thing, but I don't happen to have it handy...just search on here for "disable fullscreen weather"

Got it with CHT, THanks!
without cht can use
HKCU/software/HTC/manila
Find the reg entry Home.WallpaperMode
set it to
0 for animated weather
1 for animated wallpaper
2 for plain (no weather)

Yup, that's the one! Thanks Sam...I'm actually going to save it this time
hehe, had to trawl through the registry for the key name and then search xda to find the info from last time.
You can also just select animated wallpaper instead of weather wallpaper, and then just choose the wallpaper you want, whether animated or not. Just another method for stock ROMs w/o CHT, or using the registry.
What about removing the weather in the flip clock?

CHT/CHTE will allow you to choose clocks that don't have the weather, but only certain types that are built that way...you can't just "remove" the weather from the regular ones.

[Q] Getting icons back?

Start Menu -> look at my HTC_Calendar and HTC_Music app - they both do not have the nice HTC icons (musical note icon and HTC Calendar app icon - the one you get when you hover over the calendar in the slider). It used to be there and when I tried to copy the file from the storage location to another location and copied it back, it no longer shows the icon - just the generic blue stripe at the top, white window icon. Any idea how I can make it so it generates and shows the nice icon? I looked at the .lnk file using notepad and noticed it points to ManillaShortcut music or calendar. That's it. There's no reference to an icon file or anything like that. Is there a reg key or something? Thanks in advance.
Can someone look in their Start Menu and tell me what (this is stock 2.13 ROM) the lnk is called and what it should point to? Currently - it is called HTC_Calendar and HTC_Music.

use one of your quicklink spots to add the weather animation toggle. Turn on weather animation, then you can delete the quicklink.
my weather toggle does not work as well
idk why
I have the same problem
Hi i have the same problem as you have described, but all i can seem to find is how to disable it and not how to get it back.
I have looked in the windows folder under animated wallpapers and i cannot find the weather one there and i am wondering if maybe it got deleted? and if so is there anywhere that i can download a copy of the file from?
Just add weather icon on home screen tabs. It will appear.
go to hkcu/software/htc/manilla/home.wallpapermode and change value to 0. that will re-enable weather animation on your home tab. set to 1 and it will disable weather animation...
You just need to tap on any empty quick link tap > it will bring you to another window > tap on Toggle Switch > tap on Wealther Toggle . When u see the Wealther Toggle just tap on to it to Toggle between " On or Off "
