I am a big newbie to customization on next 10. Trying to do homepage and want to add words that jump to other pages.
Nonetheless I was able create the words but would like to change the font and make words bigger. However I am totally unable to figure this out. I can finds icon packs to add, but they all have picture and I just want plain text. If anyone can please tell me step by step how to do this or link something that went through this I would appreciate.

Minimalistic text, but I don't think it's posible to make words that once you click they let you go to another "page". I might be wrong.

Hello. I really want to make my apps their own icons, but the only way to do that is to edit their coding. I'm no coder.
So, I come to XDA asking a simple question.
Are there any apps that allow me to import icons, or take existing ones, and swap them around to different apps? Or that let me assign an icon to an app?
This would make my phone look complete.
Please help!
If not, would anyone be interested in making one possible?
Many would donate, including me, and I could help with the graphics.
You can use reshacker to change any icons you want. Search for it.
will do thanks
I downloaded Reshacker, but appearently it doesnt work with icon exchanging, even though its an option. You get errors every time you use your own icon.
Anyone else have another option? I made some icons. Here's an example of a Ginvaders icon.
New:
Stars hand drawn
Planet Ring hand drawn,
space ship and bullets hand drawn
I wanted to put this as the Ginvaders icon, but as you can see, I cant get res to work.
Please, anyone have another solution? Thanks.
I have WM 6.1 and have recently changed my background to something that has some white in it. Now because of this and the fact that the start menu is transparent I can't read some of the text in the menu.
Before anyone suggests it, yes I'm aware of how to change the text color using the registry. I am not interested in doing this, I tried it and didn't really like it.
I am looking to do one of two things:
1. Remove the transparency.
2. Add a thin black stroke to make it readable.
Any suggestion that works is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Does anyone have any knowledge of what I can do here? This is really pretty obnoxious and I don't know how to fix it.

Actually, the start menu is not transparent, but rather it uses a piece of the picture in your background to make it look as if it was transparent. Changing system fonts might solve your issue. There are a few programs that will allow you to do that in Dev&Hacking. Also, I believe that mrMakk has a tutorial on how to do this.
Alternatively, you can try to change the menu picture by using something like Theme Creator v2 or Theme Generator v2 (I can't remember the correct name for the program).
Thanks man, I'll give the theme generator a try when I get home.
Theme generator only works on 2002. The themes it generates could not be applied to WinMo 6.1...
Anyone got another suggestion? Surely there is a way to change the start menu picture in WinMo 6.1...
When I select a picture and set it as a Today Background, it brings up a screen so that I could select a Transparency Level.

He is asking about the transparency of the Start Menu isn't he? When you click on Start it drops down a menu correct?
On my phone, when I go to save a picture as my wallpaper, I am able to change the transparency of the Start menu. I'm not saying that's the only way, that's the only way I know and it worked for me.
If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Hi guys,
I saw something cool in the Droid Incredible part. It's called sexy Rosie. Can someone modify the "normal" EsspressoMod, so that it has the small App Drawer from "Sexy Rosie" like in the screenshot? All other thing should stay the same. Or maybe someone can tell me, which file do I have to modify.

Ok, guys. It seems that no one want to answer. Can someone at least tell me, if I only have to exchange the pictures, or if I have to modify any xml files?
Problably the xml files
Hi sorry to "Jump" this thread but i need help please, i made this theme Carbon Ara v2.4 and for the next release i want to use another bottom bar with a small App drawer like the picture above (#1 post) but i don't know what i must edit to have the same result...
I think we can managed this "touch area" ! I put in this mail my actual "Bottom Bar" but as you see the button in the top left/right (circled in red) are not well placed but if i move them more in the center then they are no more active that is why I will like to find a way to manage the area of the touch.
Have a good day all and thanks in advance
Guys, I've been visiting this forum quite often now that Android has been ported. I found everyhing I needed, but there's something I just can't see how to do! I found some really nice icon packages. Well, the only question is how to use them? I didn't want to create a new thread, but there seems to be no answer to my question. Or I'm way to dumb and can't find it. Sorry and thanks in advance.
anycut or desktop visualizer can do it I believe
I just can't do it. If you could give me a step by step tutorial or something it would be extremely appreciated.
Anycut, Desktop Visualizer, Folder Organizer.... can only change shortcut icons I believe.

Yeah thats all he wants to do with the icon packs
I just did it ... better cut just kinda holds your hand and walks you through it.
But.... feeling nice i will tell you what I did.
I installed better cut then found icon packs I wanted to use.
Step 1: long press on the home screen and select shortcuts
Step 2: select better cut from the list of shortcuts.
Step 3: select the application you wish to use.
step 4: press change icon and find the icon you wish to use.
step 5: press create and voila your done.
No, I want to change the icons on the home screen and in the menu. Everywhere, actually.
oh well then try metamorph
but you have to find metamorph icon packs
That's what I was looking for! Thanks man. ^.^
I have a bit more indepth question relating to the same topic... I halped out with the Elegant Steel theme from this site and have most of it set up for metamorph but after I download and install metamorph, I go in and tell it to change the framework-res and it goes through the process, reboots the phone, I relaunch android, and it didn't change anything. I want to change the status bar, dialer, contacts, the whole 9 so to speak. Anyone know of a way to do that?

Do you have root? You can use droid explorer to do it if you can get it to work...
the first screen is the wallpaper i currently have and I would like to make it a little different. I would like the text from the first pic and the background of the second pic (without the letters or the line at the bottom. I need to have the text all on one line and right below the status bar. also, I use launcher pro so i want the text to stay on the main screen and also change it if the comma is not needed or is out of place
I would really appreciate it
Thanks
You can't do this yourself? Basic PS skills!
Anyone helped ya out yet?
Sent from my iPhone with the bigger Gee Bees.
You could download the wallpaper to your phone, select it as a wallpaper in the Gallery app, and crop it as you see fit.
???
Profit.
Maybe these will work for you. One is 12pt font and the other is 10pt.

thats awesome and i really appreciate it. I'll tweak it a little when I get home. I can only see the bottom of the text below the status bar. Or can you tell me how to move the text down a little while keeping the background correct. I was thinking of just adding a little space above the text so when i set it as wallpaper it should line up correctly
nice wallpaper
Too funny...
Bored at work so I moved it down a little. Like that wallpaper...
Perfect

Much funnier with the comma.
