Contacts Icon - today screen WM6.5 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, im running Duttys rom 6.5 on my HD, the other day i was in the file mananger i decided to clean up my start menu folder..while doing that i accidently deleted my contacts icon..
now i have managed to re-create the link it with no problem..but i have since added the contacts as a shortcut on my today screen and it comes up as a default icon (you know that folder icon). In my start menu it correctly shows the contacts icon but not on the today screen shortcut ?

Since my update to WM 6.5 offical ROM my lockscreen background also displayed in other menu's (settings and my start menu). How can I change it that the background only is displayed at my lockscreen?

You should be able to set all of them through the settings tab, personalizations.
If not the start menu picture is found in windows folder stwater.jpg and the today screen is tdwater.jpg.

I don't know what you mean, maybe my English is to crap
So in my settings menu personlizations I can change my background, I've did that before and it just works fine. I can't remember that there was an option to get them all at my backgrounds.
How can I manage it that I can have my background only at my screen lock. If the rest is black I'm fine by that At the moment I'm using LockDevice, and I don't want to go back to S2U2 where I can manage it how I like it.

LockDevice is a simple utility and only used the default today background, unlike S2U2 that can be customized.
I suggest a program called AutoWallpaper Changer. You can set it to change Today, TF3D and S2U2 at various intervals. If you use TF3D, you can uncheck it to be changed and change the today screen which would then be picked up by LockDevice.
Sorry I do not have a better solution.
No problem, thnx anyway

icon disappeared (contacts, tasks, calendar): how to restore

Dear all
I have a HD2, and I have installed energy ROM.
Microsoft apps shortcut tasks and calendar are in windows\start menu\office mobile folder
Contact shortcut instead is placed on windows\start menu folder
Questions:
1. if (using file explorer) I move calendar and tasks up one directory (e.g. in windows\start menu) they LOSE THEIR ICON. Their original icon is replaced by window logo flag-style icon (white flag in background with 4 squares of window logo).
2. I use Resco File explorer to copy links onto the main page for quicker access: if I add these 3 programs (selecting from their folder: calendar, tasks and contacts, they are replaced with the above mentioned logo-icon. They work! I mean if I click the first logo-icon I can get CONTACTS...obviously it would be better if I can also see the original contacts-icon...
3. How to restore original icons?
I attach 2 screenshots which are self-explanatory.
Thanks
Saulo
i forgot to mention that I have tried shortcut recreator 2.3, but it too complicated for me to understand...
Thanks and waiting for your kind suggestions
Saulo
nobody can help?
Am I the only person to experience the loss of icon for standard programs like contacts, tasks, calendar?
Thanks and waiting
in other words I need to re-created default icons.
If somebody has ideas I will appreciate
Thanks
Saulo

Shortcut/Start Menu pictures on installed app

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.

Transparent Home Screen

I lost all of my apps when my SD Crashed. Could not even recover my Re-Init Folder I would use to install everything back. Is there a single cab to make everything transparent on the homescreen? I tried using Antonio's and the Touch X Cabs and I cannot clear one last hurdle..." Calendar Tab Background" Not the date but the word Calendar underneath that has a shaded background that I wish to make transparent. I've tried numerous Calendar transparent background cabs but all they do is remove the part with the date and alarm clock....
try this - hopefully should work

I actually just posted this yesterday..
The rest you should be able to find here
I'm using Energy ROM Classic 219 and I cannot remove that background behind the workd Calendar. Not sure why I cannot. Everything I use is only removing the Date Part of it with the Alarm.
hi, can you make my weather animations on home screen transparent or just take it out of the home screen. i tried a way to take it out that i found on antoniomistretta post of transparency mod and skins but it didn't work for me
i downloaded a cab named Dutty's Disable Current Location.cab ( didn't see anything happened cuz i had to manually disable the location myself) i also stopped updating my weather, i don't remember if i had to replace a manila file but if it was necessary, i believe i did.
Also i will like to know if you can make the music controls tabs transparent (previous, play & next) i attached some screen shots
if you know a way i'll appreciate if you can help me
if this helps i have a TMOUS stock ROM
OS version 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
manila version 2.5.20121412.2
ROM version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio 2.10.50.26
by the way, thanks to antonio an degake for helping me making my phone look cooler
