Hello,
I love my new windows mobile phone but there are a lot big icons on top of the screen. I would love to edit things like the HSDPA icon, romaing icon and other things like that. Is there any software that is able to change what is shown on the top menu?
Hi,
Those icons are in your ROM and you cannot directly change them without dumping the rom and modifying the icons.
To change the start icon on the top menu bar check these threads:

EDIT: I stumbled on this threads and saw that there is a way to change shortcut icons.

hi ppl.
i want to know how to remove a coloured bar that displays on the homescren by default. i am attaching a screenshot of my homescreen for your reference. the bar displays where 'Hutch' is written i.e. where teh operator name shows.
secondly, is there any way to make the top and bottom bars transparent so that any image covers the entire screen, but retains the icons n text (eg. edge icon, contacts field, start menu etc?)
anyone ?
You need to modify that theme. Upload it and I'll do it. It's located under ApplicationData\Home\xxx.scheme.xml
thanks pal. i am attaching the 'simple home' xml and a screenshot of same.
i would like the following things to be edited:
1. no top n bottom colour bars (should be transparent to take colour of any picture i put as wall paper)
2. no colour bar where it says 'Hutch' (operator) - same effect as point one.
3. Would it be possible to reduce the font sizes too ?
thank you for your precious time and patience.
Here you go.
Oh, it is not possible to remove the bottom.

yeehaw !!! thanks a ton pal. the home screen looks real cool.
don't want to overstay my welcome but is there anyway to keep changing the lower bar colour ?
theres a software called base hue express. that changes the bottom bar colour. but i dont think it can make it transparent.
In home screen settings you can choose Color schemes (only basic colors) otherwise you would have to modify the theme again!
Every theme I have used keeps the top windows title bar and the bottom bar unchanged.
The colors don't match and none of the icons in the top right change with the theme either.
Windows 6.1
Touch Pro, Alltel CDMA

the themes also don't give me additional options in windows themes.
I've just installed PhoneAlarm, but an ugly icon shows up in the task bar. I would like it to be a black & white icon and also have a more central position on the task bar, because on some screens it is placed over text.
Does anyone know how I can change this (I have the icon changer app installed), or maybe someone is willing to make a nice, simple B&W icon?
Best solution is disable the taskbar icon and use kisja's mod to replace the operator name on the Sense homescreen with the profile name. Well thats what I do anyway.
Thanks CrazyC! I just found out how to hide the icon (under Host Settings, hidden mode) so for now the problem is solved.
I have the files, but I don't know how or where to put them, exactly.
Please, can someone tell me where to place them and how?
- HTCblack_taskbar
- HTCblack_softkeybar
Thanks in advance.
Hi
Can you give us a bit more information about what you are wanting to do?
Are you wanting to replace the stock taskbar and and softkey bar with something new?
If so, perhaps this thread will be of interest:

I want to replace the bottom bar and not mess up the taskbar icons, pinscreen and volume control.
So far, I've tried installing a bottom bar by cab, and it does all three of these things.

I installed the black glossy taskbar from the link above and it has done nothing but change the taskbar and softkey graphics. No icons, volume control etc items have been modified.
copy them to Windows directory in device memory
Since the launch of DINIK - Anastasia - MODS - By You thead, I have been very interested in switching over all my icons to the glass appearance. I ran into an issue last night when i went to switch the Garmin Mobile XT icon on my SD Card, JWD Icon changer came up with an error stating it can't change icon for a shortcut.
I have read the instructions, and i understand how to get all programs that are unregistered to update and added to the icon changer menu. However I cant navigate to my SD card and change Garmin's icon. I really want this glass icon added to CHT, in fact all my icons changed to DINIK glass theme in time. Please help!! any other Icon changers that are user friendly?
Also I've done a search for Icon changer, i've seen threads in the past, i can't seem to locate anything on xda. maybe there not tagged.

The JWMD Icon Changer are by far the best one... If you cant seem to find the Garmin Icon try to rearrange the icon by change the position on the start menu and then go use Icon Changer to change the icon.
It has something to do with it cant find it before you do that kind of stuff not sure why and only need do this on a few of the added icons.
Hope this was at least a little helpful for you.
Kind regards,

If it still gives you an issue you can find the exe and follow the instructions on creating a new short cut ...
Create you a new shortcut in the startmenu and change that icon ...
Search the forum for info on how to create a new shortcut ...
i know how to create a new shortcut, its simple. even if i do that directly to my start menu. i get the error that icon changer refuses to change that shortcut
im having a simillar issue i think. I try to change an icon, lets say the bluetooth icon for example, i select the icon and select "change icon", but then i cant find any other icons to use. Ive searched the memory card and device memory but cant find them. I need to be able to see the extra icons so i can select which one to use but nowhere to be found. Any ideas?
