I found a thread here on xda with beautiful icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993 . Now the big question for me is how can I change the standard icons with an icon from that thread ? I am using winmo 6.1
If your ROM is 6.5 then you can use re/Start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379. For Folder icons you can browse here http://www.iconspedia.com/pack/pry-black-1686/.
To change the tab icons I use Max TF3D Theme Maker. The icons can usually be found as a manila file that this app can then install to your phone. Some tab icon sets can also be found as cab files that just install themselves to your phone. Either way you can get the look you want.

Had a little extra time on my hands and decided to make a couple of clocks for manila 2.5. First of all thanx to the creator of CFC GUI .60.35 - THE Manila/TF3D Image Editor and NRGZ28 for his carbon clock. I went ahead and made two variations of the carbon clock, a black carbon and blue carbon.
Here they are....
11/23/09 - Graffiti Clock
Really nice, but for what manila version are those clocks?
Since you see the shortcuts on the home page I guess it's the 2.5 brand.
That's looking real good!
I see that's winmo 6.5.1 that you are running, but what about the rest of the UI? that's a theme? It seems that the fonts and shortcuts down there are different.
What did you use to that effect?
Thanks!
Thanks! iam using the jw black theme for windows. the task bar i found while searching through the forums. And the shortcuts are from the manila 2.5. I just went ahead and edited the slider, icons, and clock. Still got some work to do before I completely customized my device!
[edit] nevermind! a search on jw black theme gave me a good result but! the wallpaper is real nice, any chance you could give more info on it? Thanks!
Looks real good, especially the 3rd one.
I am using the clock, but would like to get all the rest (at least the wallpaper and font).
Any chance you can be more specific about files names or maybe you could share what you created? That would be really great
THANKs .
not a problem, iam using the kabel system font, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532633
and ive attached the wallpaper iam using.
as for the slider ill post that one as soon as iam done editing it. iam compiling icons that coincide with windows mobile (i.e. opera for the internet tab, zune for the music player, outlook express for email tab and so forth) it should be done soon, just editing the taskbar and softkey skins to match the slider.
Thank you for all the info
And for your hard work!
Cheers
any chance in making the "AM~PM" on the clock white also?
yeah new clock for my sense 2.5
Thanks a lot have been looking for a new clock for my sense 2.5 long time and yeah yours works.
Nice look these clocks!
here are the manila files for a white am and pm on the clock. just unzip and copy to windows directory.
any tutorial
Hi bruc410,
could you provide me a short tutorial how to make a clock skin for Manila 2.5?
or is there any tutorial in this forum?
Thanks!
You need photoshop, a manila editor (preferably cfc-gui-only-0.60.35), and finally the original manila 2.5 file, found here http://code.google.com/p/manilavga/...ManilaOriginalWVGA-2_5_19211619_0.7z&can=2&q=. All you have to do is unzip the manila files and then open up manila editor and select the core folder from your manila 2.5 file. From there just save the original clock files to your computer as a png then edit them to your liking and replace them with the manila editor. Finally copy the edited manila files to your windows directory. Thats about it. Sorry if my directions are a little thrown together but i pretty much figured this out on my own. The good thing is once you get the hang of it you can customize the entire manila 2.5. Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
I wanted to change some icons, but it isn't really working out...
I have this app JWMD Iconchanger, when I change an Icon it only changes in the startmenu but not on my quick links.
When I create a new quicklink from the new icon, it just displays the old one...

Go to My device/Application Data/HTC/Proglauncher
Delete all files inside, use JWMD or CSMI to apply new icons, restart and enjoy
Hmmm worked for 2 icons, rest remained the old ones
Rename icons (add a letter infront of every icons name) and copy them back to device. It should then work !!!
Change Windows logo
Hi,
Can somebody please teach me how to change the Windows logo?
Many thanks!!!
Hi there!
I love my HD2 and I wouldn't change it to anything else. But there's one thing that drives me crazy when I look at the homescreen. It's the Sense 2.5 default slider icons.
Does anyone know where can I find the original slider icons (icons+slider background) from TouchFlo3D from Blackstone or any other VGA/WVGA device? I'm trying to find it, but all I have is some modified versions. I'd really love to have good old TF3D slider... Please, help me with that or at least tell me what to enter in the search engine (I've tried slider / icon / iconset / default / manila / stock etc. in every possible combination - I get tousands of threads and posts and no answer).
I'm sure, that the original PNG files for the icons are somewhere there, but I simply can't manage to look through all these thousands of posts that i find and the search doesn't help at all.
If someone provides me with the link to these icons I will make a package with only a slider using HDWall and put it here for other users like me trying to find it...
Or maybe there are some ready manila files to put straight to the /windows folder to overwrite the default Sense 2.5 icons? If anyone seen that, please, provide the link.
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and please, don't say anything like "why don't you try GTX or Dusk or sth". I tested it already, but I just want the old slider, not the full theme...

I opened up the GTX theme and have taken all the slider files from there...
Normally it should cover everything...

Can anyone assist me with the following problem.
I want to change the Slider icons for home/people/mail etc etc.
I used the HDwall program to create the cab but when I install the cab nothing changes on the icons (Wallpaper and top and bottom bars do change)
Ive deleted the *.bmp files and restarted but still the old icons are displayed.
Any ideas ?
(HD2 Evo 6.5.x ROM with 2.10.50 radio on)
anyone able to assist with this or have a tutorial on changing slider icons with HDwall ?

You might be better off using CFC-GUI to edit the manila files for the slider. You can't make cabs with it but you can do all your personal mods using that program very easily. If you want a free cab maker, there is Quick Cab 2.0 (just search on XDA). All very easy to use.
Hi!
I'm using CHT 2.0 an I'm now looking for the wallpaper of the programs page (pressing windows button) in Artemis-ROM V50. I would like to use the blue gradient wallpaper on all sides of the HTC Sense UI. Unfortunately I think these graphics are not part of the ArtemisGreenBlack theme because they are not in the cab file.
Can someone tell me where I can find the graphics for wallpaper, taskbar and softkeybar as see on the program page in the named theme?
With many thanks.
NM
if it can help .. there should be a CHT option to set the same background in all tabs (otherwise you could use "back ground for all" cab attached), and serarch in these sites a wallpaper of your taste
stock bacgrounds are stored in \my documents\wallpapers (if I rember the WWE folder name..)

Hola, since your using CHT and Artemis, there shouldn´t be any problem...
Besides what jjollyroger already wrote, maybe I don´t understand your question, but if you are refering to the "turqoise" WP, it´s in the ROM, Windows directory and it´s one of the called "stwater" image files (Default_stwater_480_800.gif & Default_stwater_800_480.gif)
Regarding taskbar and softkeybar, this will depend on the theme you´re using.
If you are using Artemis Greeen Black, then the files are the following:
Taskbar: "art_gb_Taskbar.png", "HTCBlack_taskbar.png"
Softkey: "art_gb_SKBackground.png", "art_gb_SKButton.png", "art_gb_SKButtonDisabled.png", "art_gb_SKButtonSelected.png" and also one "xyz_softkeybar.png" depending on the last theme used (probably "classicblue_softkeybar.png").
For both you can also check in the registry to see which files are beeing used:
1. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar\TaskBarThemeImage
2. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftkeyBarThemeImage
