A Few Icon and Skinning Questions

I am going through and replacing the ugly default icons. JWMD doesn't see some of them, even after scanning and registering the ones that aren't registered. Games, programs in subfolders, the HTC wifi apps, and the system and settings icons are not displayed. I wish to replace these, but since JWMD doesn't see them, I don't really know how.
Also, how does one change the icons in the taskbar? I'm using Hart's 6.5 rom on an omnia...
And, does anyone know of any good iphone like icons for zsirc and putty? I'm not going for an iphone theme, but I like how the icons are all nice, big, smooth, and round.

You can change the Start Menu icons through the registry, which is explained on the Windows Phone Blog.

I know how to do that, I'm talking about chaging icons for apps that are not in the startmenu...they're in startmenu folders, and then there are the settings icons as well.

Alternate status icons?

I've seen a variety of screenshots of HD2s with alternate status icons (like the ones shown in this post's screenshots: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4871358). I've searched and searched and I can't find out how to customize these from the standard, simple, ugly white stock ones. Any tips appreciated!
Thanks!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for these?
Thanks,

You can either continue to search for somebody that has done it and released the files. Or you can start looking into modding the manila files yourself to what you want. The files are not unique to the Leo any WinMo 6.5 notification icons will work.

Thanks for the info. I'm brand new to Windows Mobile and the HD2 so I'm not sure I'm up for trying to make my own mods yet. I'm trying to learn from what others have done and then hopefully be able to give back later.
So, are these things typically referred to as 'notification icons'? I found some custom packages under that name, but they all seemed to be the big icons for the programs, not the little status icons. I couldn't tell though whether those packages would include both the big icons and the small status icons or not. Any idea?
Thanks,
BB

To get these icons first you need to install Maxmanilla. search the thread for maxmanilla and after that you can choose your icons for notifications.

Notification Icons
Install max manilla and then you can change the default notification by the one I have attached or to any icon you want. Search for the icons on net. A few icons are attached which I use.

Thanks for the tips and guidance! I really appreciate the help. However, I'm not looking for the big icons for the various programs, I'm looking for the little status icons at the top of the display (signal strength, wireless connected, bluetooth, headset, etc). The ones on the T-Mo HD2 are just the basic white 'line drawing' ones from HTC. I've seen some screenshots here (like in the like I posted above) where these little icons are very nice, rich, colorful, almost 3D looking. Those are the ones I'm trying to find. Does MaxManilla have those too?
Thanks!

Ah Sorry, I thought you are talking about notification icons. The icons which you are referring are part of taskbar. first you need to check your windows version If you are still on the stock rom or installed a coocked rom 6.5 then search for taskbar 6.5. If you are on 6.5.x then search for taskbar 6.5.x

A lot of customization links are included in the below thread. just search for taskbar for your version.

Awesome! That's what I was looking for. I was searching for 'status icons' since that's how HTC refers to them in the manual. Didn't think that was called the taskbar.
Thanks again!

[REQ] Buuf theme for Sense UI

I've checked out the Buuf theme for iPhone lately and I find it very catchy. I'm sorry because I'm not an iPhone fan and I've only come to know of such theme lately. Can anyone here try to make a complete skin out of Buuf icons and buttons? As if overhauling the Sense UI and replacing all the buttons (ie Sense audio buttons, video buttons, camera etc), sliders (main slider, audio slider, messaging slider etc), clock even miscellaneous tabs (ie settings and everthing within). So... what do you think? *sorry... for being kinda nervous. This is my first request post in Themes and Apps for HD2*

I haven´t seen the Buuf theme for WinMo, but for Android...
However, did you check this great theme here? Not that it is the same, but it somehow seems to have that kind of "design"...

Yeah... I've checked it out. I love these cartoon-ish themes like Buuf and Fallout by StarView. I wish there are more like Super Mario, Zelda and stuff like that. Can anyone tell me which software you need to create a theme for Sense UI? Because I really want to learn to create a theme and pack it into a CAB and share it with everyone.

You can actually make your theme with any graphics software which can save in png format (mainly because of the transparency capability).
Once you´ve done your creative work, you can convert your pictures with m9editor, or CFC GUI, and then use cab maker software to create the installer (there are some free apps).
To make things easier for a start, to learn about manila file namings, resolutions etc., I suggest you take any cab of any theme you like, unpack it (with a program like MSCEInf - CAB Analyzer) and see through all the files with CFC GUI - with all this data, you can jump quickly into theme making.

PPC Geeks have the icons
Popdog54 posted all of Paul Davey's art on PPC Geeks (see link).
All of icons are there. I downloaded them and put them on my HTC HD2 storage card and then used an icon changer to change most of the icons.
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77485

the Buuf theme is indeed very catchy and would look really good on HD2.
ajt320 has already posted the link to the icons.
I also found Buuf-esque slider icons, made by 12aon. Check the post 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437405
The slider icons were made for TF3D, so they should be modified to use in Sense 2.5
and there is also Way Out There Transparent Slider here http://ppcmods.com/sliders.html
the style is quite similar to Buuf's
Cheers

[REQUEST] [ICON] I just can't find good icons.

I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!

Have you tried "Icon Pack - Minimum" ?

Yes. IIRC they were way too small.

http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project
http://www.oxygen-icons.org/
http://everaldo.com/crystal/?action=downloads

I've been through all of those. Here's my problem:
I want a set of dock icons, like you'd use in Launcher Pro. When I find a random pack online, it might have a phone, but no Gmail, Voice, or SMS icon.
If I could find icons like the Launcher Pro defaults, but a solid color (no shading/shadows), I'd be in heaven.

how about this?

have you had a look at these?
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/icons
they're just default and I know you're asking for something like it but solid... but this just gives you more options.

if u want the same icons just take a icons from one of the update.zip files

[REQUEST] [ICONS] Clear Icons

Ive been searching the forums for an icon pack that has clear icons, something really simple.
is there somewhere to download these? ive been looking in peoples sig's for download links and searching the forum to no avail.
if anyone can assist that would be wonderful the stock icons are boring, and the simple text ones are nice, but not when using a lot of icons in one area.
Thanks!

i think Launcher Pro has a option to hide all icons.

I've heard some people mention downloading one of the Glaskart, Vivid 1/Vivid 2 and/or (i think it's called) Minimalist icon packs from the market, using something like Root Explorer to copy the apk to their SD card, unzipping it and locating the .pngs you like, but I haven't tried it yet.
