Hello all, I've been trying to find all the files that represents the icons on the left of the "rearrange tabs" page. I found them all "by hand" and now I wanted to add the icon for call history tab. Anyone know in which manila file I can find those icon paths?
For example, I believe there must have a file that says:
home tab -> home icon (in "rearrange tabs" page) in this case the file is 2e5c1961_manila. What I want to know is where is this information
I know that the icons aren't the same as in the tab itself.
Thanks

Hi to all...
I did search and search but nothing found. On my today screen - home tab - I have 20 shortcuts. Below the icons of the shortcut appears a text label.
With 20 shortcuts the text is very small, barely readable and in my opinion very distracting. Therefore I prefer shortcuts without the text label.
Where should I search? Manila files, registry? Can anyone point me in the right direction or hand over a solution?
Would appreciate your help! I'm using the 1.61 ROM and have the Max Manila mod installed.
Found some of a solution myself. I'm not yet satisfied with it though.
The text can be removed by editing the registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\nn
Where nn stands for shortcut number, eg. 1, 2, 3, ..... 20
Look for the entry DispName. This contains the shortcut text.
Replace the text by a space.
Now the text box is gone, but the little black textfield remains.
When replacing the DispName by an empty string the text box also disappears, but now the whole shortcut icon becomes grey. So that is not a nice looking option.
Still looking for a better solution.
Nobody here to offer some help??
Just can't imagine I'm the only one who wants to get rid of the text below the shortcuts on the home tab. Without this text the home tab looks so much cleaner / nicer...
PS: Happy NEW YEAR to all !!
Where do add-on apps I install store there shortcut pictures? I have one app who's quicklink picture looks way old and out of place, but I can't seem to find the picture on my phone so I can change it and make it look more modern.
Anyone know?
well, to answer you question, i don't know where they are stored.
but to change them, i use Change Start Menu Icon. works perfectly and does the grunt work for ya.
cheers.
I found the problem. The app is hard coded the start menu icon into it's code somewhere (like exe files on your pc sometimes do).
Anyway, I found where programs point to their start menu icons in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ProgramName.lnk
This app didn't have a Icon entry like some of the others, so I added one and pointed it to a Icon.png file I had made for it and placed in the same directory the program was installed in.
Powered off the phone and then back on and it's using the new icon.
The only problem I'm having now is making a png file with transparency that works as a start menu icon in sense quicklinks. The icon has it's transparency in the windows start menu and when I click to add a quicklink in the program list. But once added to the homepage quicklinks, the transparency section is visible. I don't understand it. viewing it in the HTC's picture viewer also correctly handles the transparent part.
Anyone have any ideas? Here's three screens showing what I mean. The WM screen, the add-program-to-quicklinks screen and the Sense home screen (running CHT 1.7.1):
BTW, here's the icon image if anyone want to take a look.

delete finch.png file: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.png
Change icon. Add Quicklink!! OK?
There's no finch.png in that directory. There is a program launch file "FinchSync_SP.bmg" in that directory.
The actual program and icon file are stored on my storage card at
\Storage Card\Program Files\FinchSyncSP
album.cache
finch.png
finchconfig.txt
FinchSync_Core.dll
FinchSync_SP.exe
InTheHand.Interop.dll
InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.dll
syncinfo.txt
The default install of FinchSync has the program's icon hard coded, not a separate icon (png) file. If I delete the finch.png file, after a power cycle it goes back to using the default hard coded icon. Put the icon back and it does as I posted above, showing transparency everywhere except as a Quicklink. I've tried renaming the filename and then changing the reg entry outlined above to the new name and same thing.
FinchSynch is an older WM app, but I use it because I can sync my contacts and calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird, Calendar and Address book. I do not have or use Outlook to sync too, so I use FinchSync for this.
I found it. It's not a png file from that directory, but the bmg file.
So it was Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.bmg
Once I deleted that, it picked up the new icon with transparency.

I thought I had posted the screen, but here it is with transparency. Thanks again.
Hello everyone.
Having some trouble with task manager shortcut on my hd2. I want shortcut on todays screen at quick links, but I can get this on, which is placed in settings/system (top left corner in picture).
If I copy taskmgr.lnk from /windows to /windows/start menu/ I get the middle one in picture and if I copy and create shortcut from /windows/taskmgr.exe, then I get the right icon which is really ugly.
I was searching on web about *.lnk files and I find out that this is just a text file. The middle icons content is "26#:MSTASKMGR?:taskmgrapp" in the right ones "22#"\Windows\Taskmgr.exe"".
So, I want to create new *.lnk file for task manager which will contain desired icon and I wonder what should be written in lnk file.
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?
I hope someone can offer me some help. I'm trying to figure the path from icon to application that the icons on the slider have. For example, the picture icon on the slider when tapped takes you to the "Photos & Videos" app and the silver circle with an arrow in the middle takes you to the "Sprint Navigation". Some icons on the slider, some that I mentioned above, when tapped, take you to a different looking version of that application versus tapping on the icons in the programs list. What I'm trying to figure out is, where or how do I find what application the icons on the slider are linked to, by path or otherwise.
On another note, do you know where I would find the location of the icons for the applications in the program list? If you could provide me with any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
