Hello everybody.
I've installed a magnificent ROM in my HD2, I like it all but the changed icons set. Is it possible to have a CAB containing thge original Windows Mobile Icons set to replace the modified one?
Or where are the files to extract from the orginal HTC rom to override the actual ones to get the original icons?
Thanks and regards
Andrea

The majority of the icons you see in a stock ROM are actually the icons embedded in the applications themselves. Icon's are generally not stored as separate entities on your device. This isn't always the case, but it's normal.
The modified icons you see are actually tied into the shortcuts, not the applications. To remove modified icons, you need to look at the following registry key...
\HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
In there you will find registry keys that have are shortcuts and have a value called "Icon". (Guess what that is )
You can delete things from there, and as long as the app has its own icon, it will use that instead.
Just PLEASE make a backup of that whole registry key before you start. I'm not gonna be your 1st line support for the next month if you gash this up lol.
Hope that helps matey
I believe you can use a simple way to restore.JWMD Icon Changer has an option to restore/reset the icon. PLease tell us if it works.

It doesn't work...I think that the ROM has been cooked "without" the default icons

Hey guys, just made these images for changing the Topbar Task Manager Icon. Feel free to use openly. They are based off of the default Notification Icon for the Task Manager on Windows 7.
And, Battery Icons I'm working on...
Edit: Right-click and save as, than copy to kaiser/Tilt to view to see what it'll look like better. Has numbers for percentage that aren't showing in the thumbnail below due to them being white and too close to the page's background color...
why can't I see attched photos?
sorry, may this is not about your thread, but I am interested it.

They are very small, 16x16 Pixel, the size of the topbar icons. So they maybe showing up on your screen and you may have just overlooked them depending on your screen resolution.
I'm saving the battery icons atm, will upload a zip soon...
Here's all the Battery Images.

These are just the images. You need to edited the dll/mui's to replace the default icons used.

This is a very old thread now. The images need to be put into the taskservice.dll of an old build of the Task Manager. The new version doesn't support skinning of this type. Please see this thread for more information on the newer builds that use a binary registry value to control the icon.

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

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to assign a different Icon to a quick link? I would basically like to make my own Icons and links them to my programs and bookmarks to show on the Today page.

If you want to change the program icons. You must edit the icons in the startmenu, after that the icon on the home screen change also. You can change the icons with Icon Changer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080) and ReStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379), you can find a lot of icons here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993
Thanks that's exactly what I needed.
Thanks too
A way to assign icons to folders ?
You can easily change icons from start menu without using the Icon editor by changing the registry:
[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

Use the 2 programs i mentioned in my first post. Also for folders
Just a slight follow up question. This works perfectly on most icons but I've noticed one program that I downloaded from Windows Market Place (moTweets) changes in the start menu but not on the quick links.
I've restarted the phone but no joy. Is the something to do with Windows Marketplace? DRM or something?

reSTART doesn't work with my French ROM. He's looking in \Windows\Start Menu but all my shortcut and folder are in \Windows\Menu démarrer

I've tried this... and I can't get it to work at all. I had to use ReStart to get it working but it seems that it does the same thing as I did manually but somehow it got the changes to happen. I did restart the device everytime I made any changes but it doesn't seem to work?
I don't really want to install something if I can get it done via the registry so any tips?

Remove the corresponding .bmg file from \Application Data\HTC\ProgrLauncher and softreset. It should work fine.

I have changed all my icons, as most people here have, and for some reason 2 quick link programs wont show the new icons I have applied. They have changed in the strat menu, just not in quick links. I have deleted the icon cache from application data program launcher, rebooted, tried to re-apply icon, re-add program to quick link...nothing.
The 2 programs are NaviPanel and CoPilot.
As I said, in Startmenu they have updated with the new icon fine, just not here...any one else have simialar problems or solutions?
btw, I am using Cookies home tab, but this happens even without it.
For COPILOT try to rename your new icon in "splashscreen"
For NAVIPANEL try to rename your new icon in "NaviPanel"
than try again to change the icon.
Whenever I change icons I have to delete all files in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher (*.bmg files) and restart.
So: Change icons, delete chache, restart.

Going from what philo69 said, rename the icon to match the programs .exe file.
Also, try delete the cache in: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher re 'flush' the icon cache out.
Silly question, where do you put new icons? Want a new one for iGO 8

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.

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 ...
