can anybody post a working dll icon set to modify the system icons.the ico and png files are not working.is there any other method to assign icons without the help of a computer
I think this version of Windows mobile can't support transparency..
Hi
I know that the folder icons are store in the FolderIcon.dll and pointing to it via the icon.ink file will cause the folder icon to change.
Question is how to view this FolderIcon.dll file such that it will display all the icons within the file. So that I can know which number is associated to which image
for example FolderIcons.dll,-8884 is associated with image of a folder with tools
Also, how to change the program icons?
Thanks
I was looking for any program/website that might be able to convert a few icons for me that I'm trying to get for a slider for my phone. I found a website that can convert them to the file type I want but it doesn't change the icon size. Right now the icons are 128x128 I need them to be 256x256. Anyone know a program or website that can do this for me for free. Or if someone has a program already can you do me a favor and convert the files for me.
IcoFX .
I use this to convert from icon to png, and reverse
Quick and simple

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.

Ok!! del *.bmg!! Sorry!!
I thought I had posted the screen, but here it is with transparency. Thanks again.
Hi there,
Is there a way to unpack and edit the assiging on icons from a icon pack? What I've done so far: Unpacked a icon pack, edited the appfilter xml, saved it, signed the apk. The apk installs fine but it won't load the icons that I assigned in the appfilter.xml
Any thoughts?
THanks!
