Hi
Sorry for what I hope is not a silly question, but is it possible to extract the resources from the mtoday cab and recompile it with different icons? mtoday currently comes as a cab file, but after googling I couldn't find much info on windows mobile cabs (only desktop windows cabs)
The icons on changing today screens are a bit naff, so I'd like to customise this.
If this is possible, please let me know.
Cheers
Jon

Chome visual editor only is for edit , search and use this , i used this for my works
I want to edit things like scrollbars, highlights, softkey backgrounds. This doesn't seem to do it.
Find a WM6.5.X theme file. Rename to *.cab. Extract reg, and use that as your base. Prefer classicblue myself. Now get a pic you want, convert to your resolutions, create a cab with it, and insert reg!
EDIT: If you search using the link in my sign, you will find the answers. It has been discussed in detail before.
I just figured it out that tsk files are actually cabs as you posted this! Wow, in all my years with Windows Mobile I never knew that!
How to "extract reg"??

It doesn't work properly for WM6.5.x.
Use WinCE CAB Manager to open the CAB of any theme you like and replace the graphic files with your own. You can also edit the TSK, if you want. Just learn by doing, I figured it this way as well .
This is my basic lesson of titanium, this one in Spanish

It is is my video of since(as,like) an image adds to a panel of titanium, this one in Spanish

Im searching for the original transparent QVGA waitcursor. Please post .dll or .cab (or whatever file that will solve it)
(I installed .cab with new taskbar, wich is very nice, but i don't like the vista waitcursor that's included)
Just uninstall the the new taskbar.
Take the resource "shellres.96.dll" with ROMExtractor "attached"
Then you will want to extract the resources it's about 16 .bmp's
All info regards inserting into the new shellres.96.dll [TUT] Editing Resources .dll etc
Need any help feel free to PM.
thanks alot!
i know this post is old but i am in the same situation. just want my original 6.5 wait cursur back.
i have mcsilver color taskbar.
the only thing is, i cant extract, or edit or do any of the stuff you guys can...
since you already went through this.. is there anyway you can make it much easier for me to change mine? like a cab or something ?
How to make set of icons into cabs????TNX!!!!
At first you must know how the icons are called. Example The calculator is HTC_calculator.png.
Than you need a software to cab your icons.
I know two programms.
1. WinCE Cab Manager---->Shareware
2.Quick Cab--->Freeware
Google it.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I created an icon set as a cab file. It works near perfect, but some icons don´t change. I´m wondering why
I used Win CE Cab Manager to create the cab.
Following Icons don´t change:
bing
the complete office icons (the outlook icon works)
in call recorder
flashlight
the folder icon messages
encryption
Does someone know why the icons don´t change?
Ben
I give up ´
I think i´ll releas the icon set as png files
use a regualr icon changer for those.. some things have multiple copys.. and the easiest way to attack them is brute force.
i know that, when i dont clear htc sense cache...
maybe this helps..

you have to erase the png files first then run the cab and all icons should change.
you have to add registry entries, as shown in the screenshot
my suggestion is to download my basic icons cab and replace the icons with those of your likings. make sure you keep the file names intact!
i use artemis rom which is very close to stock. if you use a rom with the icons organized differently, you'll need to change the registry entries accordingly.
pm me if you can't find your way
cheers,
antaed
@m0bmentality: Hell Yeaahh, you´re right but i´ll try it with the basic icon set of antaed
@mrkevinhall: Thanks for the tip, but i´ve tried this before
@antaed: Thanks, i´ll try it, maybe it works. I use the artemis rom, too
is their a way to extract the basic htc/windows mobile icons to png files?

they are png files already, if you mean how to extract them: (with wince cab manager) go to cabinet>files>extract...
you will also find some qtc files, you don't need to modify those.
just extract the png files to a folder on your pc, replace them with your icons (use the same names!!!) and repack the cab.

IF you just set your pc to allow you to see hidden and system files.. then open up phone/windows in active sync they will all be there too

yes but in my reply to benalive i'm referring strictly to how to unpack and replace the icons from my bull's eye basic icon pack cab.
but maybe i misinterpreted his last question and he wants to know how to get original icons from the phone instead. if this is the case i'm sorry for the confusion, my bad...
cheers

i want to try to make a windows xp theme for 6.5.X.
i thought, that would be cool, because the start button is on the lower taskbar..
i have a strong opinion of how it will look like, but i don´t know anything about creating themes for windows phone..
what programs can i use for creating this? i have read about microsoft custom theme creator, but when i load it, it says: there aren´t any windows phone 6.5 pro devices for your locale...
and i can´t load it..
what do all the others use for creating themes???
after i made 1 version for VGA, i will try to create all the other versions!
thanks, Downlord
You should first find all the files that you want to skin and then use a program like GIMP to mod or create your the files for your theme.
I think it's a great idea, too bad you are a bit late Check this http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7848598&postcount=2
hm, looks cool, i didn´t knew it, ill try it!
but i thought of something thats really a theme for 6.5.X, and i want to know in general, with which program i can make those themes..

/windows on your phone .
The easiest way is to download someone else's theme and see what files they skinned. You can then modify those ones or find the stock ones in your kitchen ( or /windows on your phone). You can edit manila graphics with cfcgui by Chainfire. Some things are just png's/bmp's/etc. for windows tsk's, but you also control some system colors in the registry (changed when you change a tsk).
You should really change your title to Question??? or something. Right now it looks like you make a theme for every device (except maybe hvga), and it sounds like you have a while before it will be complete.
waiting for qvga
how can i change it to a question??
