I was just wondering if someone could tell me where the icons to all the applications are placed.
Some icons are bad, and some are most likely not made for HD2, so I want to change them.
And therefore I ask if this is possible, and if there exists an icon file.
You can use CSMI to change the icons one by one.
Or better still, you can just install this wonderful cab by DINIK to instantly replace 100 icons with these (highly recommended!):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Maybe you could try JWMD Icon Changer, it's on xda, do a search and you will find it.
Icons are in Windows/Startmenu/programs.
i was looking for this also.. wonder where isit..
but i tot there are some location @ Windows/?
hi there,
i am not sure but i think, all icon images are placed in windows folder you will have to find which one want to change. then you can replace it with your favourite one,
cheers

You can change them with a registry edittor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ xxx.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\yyy.png"
where xxx.lnk = the Start Menu link
and yyy.png = the icon you want to use
After that, clean the cache:
Phone/Application data/HTC/ProgLauncher/*.bmg
is there a directory where you can find all the icon ico files?

my goal is following:
have one background in all tabs while softkey-bar stays black (if possible just taskbar should be transparent)
i have tried different things:
1. installed hdwall patch and installed a cab from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629125&highlight=hdwall
the problem is, that just the taskbar and the softkey bar has been changed to the installed wallpaper. the main area at the middle is still the standard background shown on all tabs (grey & black). what am i doing wrong?
i also tried b4all, but there i also have some issues: the wallpaper has a black bar just above the slider. it seems like the wallpaper will not fit correctly!
has anyone a guide how to install a wallpaper on all tabs? clock should stay with solid color (not transparent).
my manilla version is: 2.5.19211 and i have installed the cookie 75 shortcut mod.
today i was able to make a screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
here you can see the mentioned black bar at bottom after installing b4all!
any idea how to fix it?
u can choose:
so first, install HDwall patch and create a wallpaper with the correct profile selected in HDWall. Before u install the wallpaper set the default wallpaper in manila or delete the reg content HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/AnimatedBackgroundPath
!! Delete only the Content, not the whole String !!
or second, install the right BG4all. Cookie posted the correct version for the different manila versions in the 75quicklinks thread.
PS.: the reg key was the problem in ur first try with HDwall too where the middle part of the wallpaper stayed default black
i just tried what you said, but there is no string value in "AnimatedBackgroundPath". it's empty! I'm using a german rom, but this will not be the problem, isn't it?
i found this at cookies 75 quicklinks thread:
If you have any version of manila except 2.5.19222911, this cab will work for you: BG4all

i installed this but still the same issue.
sorry for pushing my thread, but i'm going nuts with this! if just hdwall OR b4all would make me happy
Hey there!
I'm currently busy with making some skins for the digital clock in SPB, but I really don't know how to make my PSD file into a real widget skin.
For example I have made this image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I hope anyone can help me with this or does know a guide how to make it into a skin. This way I can provide you guys lots of skins/widgets!
Thanks in advance!
Just watch in the folder where the standard skin file is.
So you can see how you have to "slice" etc the pics.
Thats the way I do it with skinning programs.
I dont have SPB so I cant say you an exact way but so I would do it.
Regards
The easiest/best thing to do would be taking a direct look at how the standard spb widgets are made
The dat files are just zip files renamed to .dat so you can easily look what's inside with just winzip (the password for all of them is b0fm18zq)
Ok, that is great! Thanks.. The only thing I don't get is how do I use transparent in .bmp? I see all the red and black stuff at parts that are transparent in the SPB shell?
So my question is now, how do I add transparecy to .bmp files and how do the 'mask' images work?
Thanks in advance!
Moved as not theme release.

Transparency is handled through the mask bmp, the darker the areas on the mask the more transparent the corresponding areas on the resulting image
Mask needs to be a grayscale bmp
Images (most of them) need to be 16bit bmp
Do not use 24 or 32 bit bmps 'cause they're gonna disappear during swiping
anyone who has this app downloaded... knows that the quicklink icon is bad quality.. it kinda bothers me.. so is anyone up to making a better one??

I made this (and I am definitely not a photoshop expert as you can see) and this is not glossy unlike Dinik Anastasia icons but it does sort of do the trick for me.
i have switched out many bad icon using CSMI (change start menu icon). works like a charm...
note - i realized that it does matter wherever you store your new icons (meaning you can't switch them and delete the original graphic) and you can't move them around at will. so i just put them all in a folder on my sd card and now no problems.
cheers.

how would i go about using your icons? just save to my comp?

Yep, just save to comp then transfer to phone. You will have to use an icon changer program app like JWMD icon changer, or CSMI (if you search those here on XDA, you will find the cab files with the instructions on how to use them). I use JWMD since it has intuitive UI and is easy to use. Changing icons is a tedious process since you have to do it one icon at a time. Good luck!
thanks.. i think i got it to work.. cheers
i got this one. maybe someone can make white corners transparent. no soft installed right now
Here you go.
hmm now there is a big white frame around.
maybe you can make it like the other two
thx
no white frame
It is a png file, the white background is transparent. And you are welcome.
Well i found alot of my icons sets like iBOX carbon and Orbz in the market so i figured my next icon set i would share here. Its work in progress as i create them so for now i will post what i have for everyone to enjoy.
If you request a icon please provide me the original icon.png and i will make it asap.
Update - 450 icons launcher, June 2nd

use better cut , can be found in the market
and thanks for the icon pack !
What must be the size of the original icons?
(like this theme b.t.w.)
Is there a way to edit the original icons with these, so that they show up everywhere and not only on the homescreen as they do when using bettercut?
here's a few more
and some more icons
and some more for tonight
These are awesome. Can you do some for Racing Live, Shoot U, Root Explorer, Bloo, Dropbox, CoPilot, Car Home, aCar, Dimmer, WW calculator (just any, different calculator icon would do) and AppBrain
A lot to ask I know

Very nice. I love it.
+1 to that, it would be awesome if we could use these everywhere
thanx glad you like them
and the rest of them
Love the icons, then again, I love pretty much everything with your name attached to it(have enough wallpapers to last a lifetime ) Could you make icons for Movies, Foursquare, and Gowalla? Would really appreciate it!
For those asking how to change the icons everywhere, I'm pretty sure you can do that in NinjaMorph. It basically reassigns the .apk for you from your phone. You would just have to have the icons on your sd card...
Wow, they are awesome and so quick too. Thanks man, you are a legend
here are the icons
the great hockey from modmyi.com hope we get a 400+ page goin over here for this one...
love orbz been using since it was first realeased..think its time for a change hope iq becomes big as orbz
thx...........
He's already done root explorer. Any chance of Quick Boot and Stopwatch too?

Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)
that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped
Have anybody get the status_bar_background.png transparent on FroYo ROMS?

i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency
Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703
Thanks Britoso.
Now I have the theme with transparent.
Now I have to fix the bar "Notification" because are also trasparent.
Also I have to investigate why It have some crash when I use metamorth for apply theme.

I have only investigate for crash when using metamorph.
Thx britoso from that other thread and xuedoxus for the app
