I'm setting up my CHome app with custom apps and can't find the reference to icons in the registry ie the Taskmanager icon is referenced to "2309" as the picture.
Anyone know where I could find those references to system pics / icons?

Ok, for the start menu, is there any place that I could go to that has custom icons for the folders in the start menu? Also, how would I remove the battery indicator from the taskbar(top bar on phone)? I have tried the registry edits, but none work for me, is there a cab file or some other way to do it? I have a Samsung Blackjack 2 and its running wm 6.1.
You're lucky that I've also been looking into these matters for a while. And I think I've got the answers for all of your questions (and more). I'll share my collections here, but maybe not one time for all. I'll continue to edit this post to try covering everything about icons. So just bookmark your thread and keep looking for updates.

For the battery stytus icon on today screen, FInixNOver have two threads discussing about this, one of them is:
[SKN] Customizing the Windows Taskbar [UPDATE-26/10/2008]
For remove it from taskbar, there is a registry tweak, but seems not working well for all WM6 & up OS builds, it will leave an ugly empty space on taskbar for some OS builds. The registry need to create is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"TBOpt":
dword:0 -> show battery
dword:1 -> show clock
dword:2 -> show date
dword:3 -> show date and clock together
Using above should be combined with the following key:
At least you can change it to display clock instead of battery stytus by tweaking this registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock":
dword:0 -> show battery
dword:1 -> show clock
I found a thread here on xda with beautiful icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993 . Now the big question for me is how can I change the standard icons with an icon from that thread ? I am using winmo 6.1
If your ROM is 6.5 then you can use re/Start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379. For Folder icons you can browse here http://www.iconspedia.com/pack/pry-black-1686/.
To change the tab icons I use Max TF3D Theme Maker. The icons can usually be found as a manila file that this app can then install to your phone. Some tab icon sets can also be found as cab files that just install themselves to your phone. Either way you can get the look you want.
Hey guys,
i just wanted to know if there is a cab that hides the manila slider at the bottom of the homescreen. i already have a transparent background for that bar, but i want the icons to not to be visible.
can anyone help me?
thanks in advanced!
Then edit a manila slider .cab with png files which are empty.
Use manila editor to explore an unzipped .cab and edit the images with the grafix editor of your choice. Leave the icons alpha blending blank and you have what you want I guess. Pack the files again to .cab with IZArc (including the .xml and stuff of course), move and apply. Try it. Not sure if it works.
Why would he want to go through all that if he could just load a program like Cookies Home Tab or MaxManila that would give the option to drop the slider into a hide button plus several other options.
Dunno. Maybe he wants to slide it but without icons. Just to have a dimmed screen with labels.
I recently installed santod040's BG4all cab and I noticed that the slider is semi transparent on the home tab, but fully opaque on all other tabs. I want to make the slider partially transparent on all tabs, not just the home tab. I searched for ways to do this tabs, but found none. Does anybody have a cab for this? I use the latest Dutch stock ROM with Manila 2.5.20113030.0.
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone assist me with the following problem.
I want to change the Slider icons for home/people/mail etc etc.
I used the HDwall program to create the cab but when I install the cab nothing changes on the icons (Wallpaper and top and bottom bars do change)
Ive deleted the *.bmp files and restarted but still the old icons are displayed.
Any ideas ?

I think the HDWall slider funktion doesn´t work for the HD2! I test it few times too with the result that nothing works!

You might be better off using CFC-GUI to edit the manila files for the slider. You can't make cabs with it but you can do all your personal mods using that program very easily. If you want a free cab maker, there is Quick Cab 2.0 (just search on XDA). All very easy to use.
