How to change icons? - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Hello again
Is there any way to change the icons in the programmes menu?
Some of them are low-res, and some of them are just not that nice to look at.
The Total Commander icon is a good example...
In my oppinion it looks like something from a Vic20, or maybe a C64.
So, my question is...
Is it possible to change the icons, and if so - how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
Attached: Screenshot of the icons.

Well, it's a sollution...
Eventhough it's not changing the icons of the programmes themselves, but rather changing the icons of the perticular buttons in the programmes menu.
I'll give it a go, thanks for your answer
Will post back if it works...!

Hmmm, didn't work on my phone...
Made the button I wanted to change white, and the button next to it...
Anyone else have an idea on how to solve this?

How to do that?
there'e all files I used:
more additional and simpler method
used only 2 files:
Nice and thanks
I tried the two files and they worked well here (Pure running Tess 4.1)
I had a few personel changes I would prefer
White(er) clock digits would be more visable on my dark background
And I sometime have a hard time finding the current icon (to slide it )
with the transparent slider, I mainly changed it to get the 5 icons
Either of these "user" adjustable?
(wasn't there a select from multiple clock faces setting somewhere?)
I also noticed (its what really 1st got my attention!)
you have 5 launcher icons
I really like that feature! or even 4 wide how many total icons (rows?)
and how did you do that?
Thanks

+1 (it's true 9 shortcuts it's not enought)
Sorry as a follow up I decide to remove the clock and slider
unfortunately I was unable to remove the clock completely
(remove programs failed) Fortunately I had backed up first and
was abel to get back the original white flip clock with a cold reset and restore
I might have had more luck if I turned off TF3D before attempting removal?
but just as a heads up the cams I had the problems with were
No_BG.cam and No_slider1920.cab
I've also noted that it Doesn't look like the task bars with the two file solution
are actually transparent? they look solid black?
The pic thats with the three files TF3D 2.5 top and bottom curtain files
and clock 26 trans. looks more like what I'm looking for, bit I don't understand how you replace the single manila files with the 3 masks (they all have the same name. even though in different subdirs) but can't help but wonder if these will work with the set of "colored task bar icons" I'm using? (aren't the masks
specific to the icons artwork?
I know I've asked "a lot" and from two different authors, but I'd be willing to
bet its an interesting topic that at least a few people would like to know more about.
Thanks

I'd like to have the bottom slider (the one for selecting tabs) semitransparent.. Actually it is in today screen, ma I'd like to have it semitransparent also on all tabs.
Back to the launcher icons. Anyone has an idea how to get 4 and more there?
Hi,
I can't do this task!
After turning off the HTC Sense, I tried to copy and paste files, but the unit had the following message:
Can not copy 'Access Denied'
Make sure that the memory is enough free storage, the destination is not write protected and file is not being used
I am performing a wrong way?
Thanks

[REQ] Bring the SPRINT-clock to the HD2

Hi Max and all you other skinners out there!
I'd like to request the Sprint clock (in white, not flipping) and a transparent background for the clock (in combination with the weather display) for the HD2. I tried so many things with MaxTTM (not the ultimate layout, which looks great but has way to many features for me *ggg*) but didn't get that working. Anythin I did corrupted the layout.
Maybe there is already a solution for that and I'm to blind to find it If so than please advice guys
Also a great set of black and white icons for the slider would be nice I really don't like the "colorful" stuff...
Thanks in advance!
Picture please?

Something like that but for the HD2 (of course with weather). I just want to get rid of the white background and the flipping:

What about this transparent clock variant?

Tried that before but I didn't like it because of the "flipping" which doesn't look good with transparent background. Numbers look distorted when the numers flip...
Add Disable Clock Flip
For that, there 's a cab named "Touch_X_Homescreen_Flip_clock_OFF" and it works fine for me.

AFAIK, this only disables the clock animation when you return to the home screen, i.e. when the clock goes 1 hour and 2 mins back and then flips to the actual time. The normal flipping of the clock is not disabled by this cab.
Would love a sprint clock as well. Contacted dragonsoft see if he can help as he seems to have done a few nice clocks.

Did anyone get any further with this? Loved the sprint on my Diamond, now want it for my HD2
have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489
in the 4th post you will find sprint clocks. Only to use with MaxTTM or Max Manila.
cheers, i had seen & played with Max-Manila but wasn't over keen. not a great lover of 3rd party software plus i like to get my hands dirty if you know what i mean.

There is a way, but I can't for the life of me find the thread for it. They are just simple .cabs, I had looooads but I deleted them after installing Windows 6.5.x as I didn't need to use them. I'll keep searching and hopefully someone will link you to a thread in the meanwhile!
Okay here is one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584531
*Edit* This one is just a taskbar, but check it out regardless. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832
I've been searching for about 40 mins or so and I still can't find the ones I had on my hard drive, God knows where they are hiding. 0_o
Hello Everyone!
Hi guys 'n' girls.
Thanks Kalavere for pointing me to this thread
Was getting a little frosty in my other thread..
I'm looking for a few things for 6.5...
1) A collection of start icon's (only the icon, no text). Also a separate remove text cab would be nice as I've seen a few others that would give a limb for one...
2) I've not yet seen any of these yet but I'm after a collection of animated load icons (you know, the win icon that spins)
3)A collection of stand alone volume skins. Have seen a couple of these but they always seem to incorporate something else (not that I'm picky lol)
I'm mainly looking for Dusk and Anastasia themed items but i would love to see what else is out there!
Thank you in advance for any help!
Any hints to threads would be greatly appreciated!
Ps. @ Kalavere, I love your profile pic! I'm big in to Gas masks my self, had to mention!

Thanks a lot. Tried but no help. The taskbar I use is from anastasia. However the Start icon change in itself is not possible.
Also the "Start" text written on the top cannot be removed. Is there a way for it really.
It will eb a very nice idea to make a collection of
Volume icons
SMS icons
Battery icons
Start icons
and customization of start text.
Anyone upto it?

You can definitely, definitely change just the icon alone. I just can't find the damned things!
*Edit* This is how to do it manually, there are some cabs floating about though...

TO ALL OF YOU THAT WANT ONLY THE CUSTOM WAIT CURSOR:
No guys, there is no way to make a cab for only the custom wait cursor.
This is because the custom wait cursor graphics are into the file shellres.192.dll. Into this file reside also many of the taskbar icons and other miscellaneous graphics. If I make a cab with only the file shellres.192.dll and you install it, you will have my wait cursor, but you will have many of my taskbar icons as well. It's good if you use my taskbar (but if you use my taskbar you already have my cursor ), but if you use another taskbar....you can easily understand what can happen.
So this is why there's no way to make a cab that installs only the cursor.
I'm thinking about to make some colors variations of the cursor, but I think that I will make them for cookers (and who knows how to edit dlls) and I will post the 32bit bitmaps in the Windows Mobile Themes section.
I'm sorry.....but I'm explaining why this is impossible
Anyway, many thanks for the great interest for my custom wait cursor

Enyone who have SRS know the icon is ugly but the program is amazing. But I really wanto to change that icon.
Is the last thing to make my rom looking well.
Someone said it's possible vie Registry but i am not sure about that because I am not into that section, but I can do it if someone explain to me how.

@eclyptos

With this app cann you all icon change and rename.

do you see the icon of WOW HD Settings? That's the icon which I can't change and I do not understand why!
If you can not see it in JWD then you will need hunt it in the registry & link a PNG file to it.
Have a look at this thread to help pin it down in registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6188525&postcount=1
If you have problems finding it you could export & upload parts of the registry tree for us to help.
Other option if you have installed srsWOW via cab is to edit cab/exe icons prior to install.
*JWD tip: some icons show as default JWD paint pallet & no text so you got to guess what they are ! have another good look ...

I opened SRSPanel.cpl,0 and was only 1 link of some "Group" empty, so I delete it and I make this link "Icon"="\\Windows\\equalizer007.png" but is not working or i did in wrong way. I don't know, on the thread is not exactly clear how to do it.
