Hi all.
I'm trying to change the icon for my lnk.
I have a little problem it is allways the same icon (not the Windows but a grey one) which is shown , even changing the number of the icon
here is my lnk : 23#ctlpnl cplmain,20,2?shellres.dll,-13954
do you know dll like this one ?
I've changed to have 1 ,1000000 instead of 13954 : nothing changed
I tried google to know what's wrong , seems my syntax ok
if somebody is good in this matter , please help me
EDIT :
i've found what was wrong
I have to create a new lnk , because it seems when modifying on the PDA Windows doesn't take care of the change of the icon and I was modifying with Total Commander my lnk
creating a new lnk it is perfect
so now I have just to look at the existing code for a good dll icon
Hello community,
my first post and it's so tricky.
I will change the Icons of an EXE. I searched the Devs and with mister Google but I don't find another way exept the tool "Ressource Hacker". I can see the icons in Ressource Hacker, but there are two Icons (32x32 and 16x16) inside the file. If I change one type of icon, the other one will be lost. When I go to the folder "Icon Group" in Ressource Hacker, there is an icon within two icons. Like in a TIF-graphic with 2 or more pages inside. I can see that in the graphic viewer "IrfanVIEW". Doing a TIF with the icons and rename it to "*.ICO" will not appear in Ressource Hacker. Do I save the patched EXE-file, I can see the changed icon on the pocket PC. But when I copy the file from the SD-Card back to the Program-Folder, the old/original icon comes back.
Must I create an icon-file within two icons (32x32 and 16x16)? If this is correct, how can I do this? If not, what suggestion do you have for me?
do you mind posting the images and .exe that you are trying to change? I should be able to help
YUP!!!
or you can try the PEexplorer... but, does the exe is signed?
@bilborian: Thanks for your help, but there are too much EXEs. I will change my design to a neon design and all programs in the program launcher should be neons.
@ + QUE PPC: Oh, the PEexplorer ist just a little bit too expensive for that little project (129$ for private user). And what do you mean with signed EXEs?
But now, I got it. After a softreset can I see (not all) the new icons.
This works not with all EXEs, some of them have more than one icon inside, because they have different icon matrixes (for example 16x16, 32x32, etc.). I have a problem to select the right matrix for my Trinity (32x32), so I can not see all new icon in my edited EXEs. How can I indicate the right matrix to change a 32x32 icon?
sorry by my inglish , i have being trying for 6 months to make A folder shortcut but nothing works, i have being reading all the esteps on all the threads over and over , but nothing works.i am tired to try to make i simple shortcut, tired to try to change the estar icon, tired to try to change waiting star icon , i just cant do it, nothing seems to work to me, maybe iam so stupid, KEEP THE GOOD JOB ,
open file explorer. locate the folder you want to make a shortcut to. press and hold on it until the dialoge box pops up. choose copy. next navigate to the place where you want the shortcut to show up to... like \windows\start menu\programs\ press and hold inside this folder and choose create shortcut. Done and done.
you can change the wait icon with wisbar advance 3 from lakeridge software.... and most likely with other applications.
other thoughts:
download and try gsfinder. its a file explorer but better then the original windows mobile one. There is also a file explorer enhancement you can install that expands the capabilities of the original file explorer. you can find all of these with google.
you can try the shortcut manager application.... which will even allow you to create/modify and change the icon of a .lnk file. (you can only change .exe icons by modifying the .exe file directly) you can however create a .lnk file to anything.... and change the icon on that.
you can even... nudge nudge... create the shortcut in a text exitor and save it as whatever.lnk
ie:
\program files\facebook\facebook.exe
save as facebook.lnk voila... there is your shortcut... which you can save anywhere... like to
\windows\start menu\programs\facebook.lnk
and then it would show in your startmenu under \Startmenu\Programs\Facebook
does any of this help? its pretty basic stuff..... dont give up yet...
The easiest-to-use software that I have seen for shortcuts is SK Shortcut Manager.
Thax for all your information , i realy apreciate , maybe adont know how to doit , i think a heve being done all that u tolme but i guess i have being doing it my selfe withot suport and is preaty dificult to me, u are the first person that reply something about it, i have beeing ask alot question about on afew treads but no one answer, thanx alot

Can't get all Icons changed.. really not
Sorry to grab here but I tried in other threads and other forums but anyone had a solution for me.
I deleted all the Quicklinks on Homescreen, installed Diniks Anastasia set by cab file, cleared the ProgLauncher. In the Start Menu all Icons are showing roght but only about 40% of the Icons come on right on the Homescreen.
I look in Icon changer but there also all icons are showing correct. I long pressed on every Icon and said "hide default icon".. but no change to those that will not show on Homescreen.
By looking inside de Proglauncher Folder I remarked that all the icons that work are listed there, but not those that will not show correctly.. why that?
Any help, suggestions? Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase?

you have to create a theme with iconchanger, after you have to go in the folder programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name" and , with a file explorer,(program like rescoexplorer are better!!) rename the icon of the program was showed uncorrectly in your homescreen quicklink, after go in jwdm iconchanger , holdtap the program icon you want to change, programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name"\"your_icon_you_have_just_renamed" .. afther this reclear the proglauncher folder and all is fine! -- for correct homescreen quicklink softreset is not needed, is needed for start menu only.
Wow, really something new.. gonna triy this tonight. I'll give feedback.. thanks a lot..!
Couldn't wait and tried on the spot. Seems to work out really fine. Thanks for that simple way that even I can understand
Those Icons not showing in Icon Changer I still have to double in .. argh which folder was that again .. does this stay the same to show them?

I did as you said and it would work out.. and now the big BUT:
Some of the links in Windows\Startmenu\Programs are organized in subfolders, for instance folder "tools", as in the Startmenu itself. Icon Changer can obviously NOT SEE INTO subfolders, for it does not list those links, even if copied and pasted. Only if copied to Windows\Startmenu\Programs (one directory up) it is recognized, but of course it does too change place in Startmenu itself, so that's not what I want.
Question: Why can't my Icon Changer (latest version 26b) not see the links in subfolders, for I think that this is common in all standard Roms????
And what do I do to be able to change those Icons..?
CSMI can help
Ok, I could solve this problem by just using other software.. CSMI helped me out, this one even shows which links lie in a folder.
thank u for ur effort ,but still a little problem with the weather switch icon,in the quicklink,im using CSMI but i cant locate it to make the change

Is there a Tutorial on how to change an existing or create a new Softbar for CHT2?

Sure out there are some tutorials, but its actually not that hard:
You will need the program cfc_gui and a program like gimp or photoshop. You have to find the 5E90131C_manila file in your windows directory and copy it to the sd card and after that put it somewhere on your pc.
Open cfc_gui and open the folder the manila file is in. Than in the lower right corner select save as and change it as a image file.
Now you will have a image with 512x128 pixels. Open in your photo editing program a document with these dimensions.
After that you can start editing or creating a new one. The other image is only a guide so that you dont create a file that isnt usable.
If you have the image ready, then just open cfc_gui again and select the 5E90131C_manila. then in the lower right corner you press replace and choose your image. Now you have the image stored in the manila file. After that you can take the 5E90131C_manila and put it into the windows directory of your phone and overwrite the old one. After that restart sense and you are done
Thank you!
I will try it.
If I am not able to do it, after your explanation, I have chosen the wrong profession (M.SC. Computer Science) *g*
btw.
You created some great Themes and Customizations!
In which Manila files will I find the icons for cusomization? Not only the background?

Hehe^^ I am sure you will manage that, if not, just ask again
The icons are a lot easier. Just make an image with 128x128 pixels and name it:
CHT_softkey_win
CHT_softkey_menu
CHT_softkey_tabslider
CHT_softkey_phone
CHT_softkey_web
and
CHT_softkey_lock
after that just place them in your windows directory of your device and after a sense restart you are done
Great, if I get some good results I will post them.
how can i link missed calls count and sms and email to softbar and show them insted of link to oben the default web, phone, slider, lock, etc
Check this thread if you havent already.
there is a couple examples and Nordpolcamper uploaded a little guide/ template.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993177
for me it was hard to get it aligned perfectly. you could always paste a softkeybar on your wallpaper and use a transparent softkeybar as the actual bar itself.
let me know how it goes.
thanks but this is not what i was asking for ,, i want to to have my missed calls and sms email, notifications shown on task bar .. like the notification bar widget but the task bar counts it so i have for example in my taskbar instead od lock button an image (custom softkey) you know we have at CHTEditor>softkeys>custom key1,2,3 with run path1,..etc and command line and icon path but

mmhm I dont think, that this is actually possible right now. There is no program you could asign for the softkey.
What you are looking for I have only seen on android devices.
hope see it soon
How can I combine my changes in a .cab file?
Any tutorial out there?
Usually I use the search function, but never sure where to look for (hd2, win 6.5.x ...)

Hehe^^ well the easiest way to make a cab is using Quick Cab. Just search it and you will find it Lanch the taxi like exe and then go to files, then select all your files on the left side and then select windows on the right side and press add.
After that go to create, select the name for your program, enter your name and then go to browse, select where you want to save it, then enter the cab name press ok and then press create.
After that you are already done
Uploaded my first version.

looking good But I would recommend, that you use higher resolution icons for the softkeys, because they appear to be blurry^^
It's only the screenshot I think.
They look good on my device.
hey nordpolcamper i wann to make softbar too ,i read ur tutorial and when i make that,how can i make cab file to just install it not to copy in folder on my phone and overwrite files?

Thats quite easy But if you really want to work on the Softbars, I highly recommend just overwriting the files. Cause if you always install a cab you will get a very huge list in your programs list and that can be very messy. But if your eyes are set on it, I would suggest you download quickcab.
For simple cabs this is the best program and its very easy to use. Just set the directory to the windows folder, add what you want to copy and then give the program a name and a name for the Cab and press generate and everythings already done.
If you need help, just say so
i will just overwrite till i make a good one. ty for help
