Anyone know how to add your own icons for programs you add to the launcher? The default selections had custom icons, but when I add a program from the list to an empty laucher spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can that be changed?
Hmm
If its on the storage card it may not use a icon. How ever if it is in the Main mem it should use the current icon on the shortcut. There is a program to change them but did u install the HTC Home Customizer!?
Yes, I installed the customizer, and chose an Icon set. When i went to the "Launcher" tab, there were about 6 entire already there, like "backlight" and "Launch Program Folder" and "Lock Device"
All of those options had custom icons. However, if I add an app to a blank spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can I provide an icon of my own choosing for the phone to use in that launcher spot?
I would like to do exactly the same. have nice launcher icons for other programs. Like GroupSMS. Help Anyone?

I was poking around in the registry and noticed therfe was a value called iconpath in HKLM/software/HTC something or other. Maybe that would work?
Its best to resize them to 32x32 before setting them as custom icons or your launcher looks messy. Took a while before I could my the Opera icon right I store in the My Pictures folder and Im doing just fine.
How?
You said you were able to resize the icons, did you do that with the directory listed above?
there is a tutorial on the HHC site.
Im having the same issue. Im using the stock Spb MS / Suite / Weather / Plus tabbed layout. When I added programs last night *some* of them showed up correctly, but now this morning after powering back on, many are the default windows icon.Example: Resco registry editor and Resco explorer. I tried changing the icon, but in Spb's menu it only shows icons in Spb's bank of icons.
Very annoying. Still playing....

I Am Running Windows Xp 64 Bits On A 64 Bits Machine , And I Am Not Able To Connect My Htc Mogul6800 With Qpst , Can Some One Help Me With The Generic Usb Drivers For 64 Bits
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

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.
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 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

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.
