I have already tried a shortcut creator which allows me to change the icon of a shortcut...
But when I copy that shortcut to a different pocketpc (which has the same programs installed as my own), the icon switches to the standard one...
Any chance to definitely change that icon??
.....No one?
The Icon of a exe file is stored IN the exe file, try to open the exe file in a res-editor and replace the icon with the one you like
I don't know if that works for ppc exe files too, but: just try it

I already tried it... But I still have a problem:
When I copy the .exe file from my PC to my device, the icon is automatically restored to the default one...
Maybe the icon I'm using aren't compatible with this type of operation?
I use this icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424678
The .ICO ones....
which icons are you trying to change
sometimes there are more than one icon in the exe.. (different sizes and colors) be sure you replace all
if you like i can try it for you, just send me the exe and the icon, or upload it here.

You can find it in the attachment....
It seams your .ico is corrupt, i can replace it with an other icon, and no problems.. but your one is "empty" (in windows I see the guitar playing homer, but in ResEdit, the icon is empty.. )
I tried it with another on, and it worked
Used TGTSoft ResEdit. Just open your exe, then point on the left site to "Icons" and select that one you want to replace. the you see the icon on the right site. Over the Icon ther is a replace button, click that, select your icon and save the project

hope hat helps you

Everytime I try it, I get an error....
ERROR CAN'T OPEN .BMP FILE....
But I'm trying to use .png and .ico icons.....
Maybe Am I already using wrong icons?
Where can I find correct ones?
is the extension of the file really ico? Do you use just the icons of this thread?
Here you will find lots of icons: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/icons/?order=5

I use .PNG icons.... If I try to replace the existing icon with a .ICO one, I can't load it with the app... It doesn't let me load a .ICO file...
EDIT:
Finally I make it work opening the .ICO file with an icon editor...
I deleted all the format (16x16,24x24,ecc...) inside but one (32x32)...
Then just write its name in ResEdit (because it doesn't allow me to search .ICO file)....
AND FINALLY IT WORKS!
Thanks to all!

I'm newbie here...i'm trying to make a png picture into dll icon that can be used to change the application icon using the SK Shortcut Manager..
My question are:
1. Should i change my png picture into something else?and using what application?
2. How to convert those icon into .dll file?and what program i should use?
Thanx before..and sorry for my bad english..
you need the software named "resource hacker" to replace the icon you want.
I read the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511876&highlight=icofx tutorial..i,ve made the dll file..try to apply the dll file using the SKSM..but it stop on loading...do i really need to make the lnk using reshacker?

Normally, you need the .ico format for the icons inside the dll. And you can google to find the tool easily. Just as what I said, after you make the image icon and trsanform into .ico, and then you can use the resource hacker to replace.
How would one edit any of the .xml files without a schema file for control to un encrypt the .xml file? I have modified the ROM Im using as far as graphics and need to change the title bar or status bar fornt color. When I open the .xml file as I would normally, it is not readable. I am a 20 year web developer but this ROM stuff is all greek to me. If someone could point me in the right and correct way, I would be very thankful.

Tip for creating cabs:
If you already have HDWall installed (e.g. to make transparent taskbars and softkeybars), you can use the built-in 'create cab' function to create your cabs - this saves installing an extra piece of software...
On the subject of tutorials, I can tell you from experience that creating your own 'digital' clocks is a lot easier than creating your own sliders.
The easiest way to go about creating a new digital clock is:
1. Take somebody else's clock cab (I've attached one of mine to this post)
2. Unzip it (Winzip will do it) to get the original files
3. Re-name the 'working' files back to their original 'manila names' (if you look inside the _setup.xml file, you can see the both the manila filename and the working filename e.g.
<characteristic type="1435ccbf_manila" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Extract">
<parm name="Source" value="FILE0001.001" />
means the file named FILE0001.001 should be re-named to 1435ccbf_manila etc. (note: the xxxxxx.999 file is not needed here!)
4. Once you have extracted and re-named all the manila files, you can use CFC_GUI to extract the PNG images for my clock to use as a guideline to making your own
5. Make your own PNG images
6. Use CFC_GUI again to insert your new images into the manila files
Note: My cab consists of 8 manila files:
4 files for the 4 sections of the clock (2 up and 2 down)
1 background for the clock (see attached screenshot)
1 file each for AM and PM
1 file with the numerals
If anyone is interested in seeing some of the other 'Glass Clocks' I made, you can find them all in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650245
Have fun and good luck!

nice job mate, keep it up, my advice is to take a cab from the site, slider, clock or what ever you want to customize, extract it with wince cab manager (the best cab management software, in my opinion) and manila editor and photoshop can do right about everything to a image the important thig if you take part of some one elses work or inspire to ask permision and mention that you have inspired from that persons work
sorry for the confusion. the green clock and slider is what I,ve done, the lead clock is by dr ammar-jaguaralani.
Ok so I've modified the image files from a slider cab, converted back to QTC's and overwritten them back into the unzipped cab file.
How do I make it all back into a cab?
Got Quickcab.......select all the files from the left window but where to select to put them in the right window?

Thanks for your reply mate.
I thought that was where they always went, but last night I made my cab but when I installed it, nothing changed, tried 2 or 3 times too??
Please take a look at the screenshot below, is that correct? From there just go to "Create cab" right? Or am i missing something?
Thanks again for answering.

Did you extract your manila files from another .cab? (If so, have you maybe done it via winzip or something similar?)
The files you copied don't have the correct names... (manila files are always named "xxxx_manila")
If you give me all the files, I could make the .cab for you.
Otherwise, just PM me and we'll discuss this further

Hey mate
good job Thank you
Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).
The tool described above will help you for the graphics
oh wow loads better than manila editor thanks man
Your welcome!
Which manila file is responsilbe for the day format in the weather tab?
copy your manila files in a folder on your pc and scan the folder with this
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984 (remove the space before the : to get the link to work) and it'll give you the name of the files and therefore their functionality
I figured out that it is 308671e5_manila.
I edited the file to the desired format but it doesn't change in the weather tab.
Any idea?
