Hi Guy I'm New with Android OS I come from WinMo and I like to start make My device more nicer I think the first step for me to learn is How to skin or Change the Icons In Top Bar.can some of You Guys can point me to the Guide lines.The Images I post is from users mrnv45,JokerAce & myn here in XDA but like you see myn & mrnv45 match the top bar icons with his theme and applications Icons this is what I like to do but just one step at a time for now just the top bar Icons.Please all the info is really appreciated.
Many thanks Guys

well you may be new to android but with 129 posts you are obviously not new to these forums so you should know how to search. and this goes in the themes section, not software and hacking. and if you had searched that forum youd have found the answer...you should try it some time.
the images you are looking for are in framework-res.apk in res/drawable. just replace them with whatever you like, then sign and flash.
all the answers you need are in the Android themes section. try searching there before posting next time, as it is QUITE LIKELY that whatever your question is, it has already been answered there at LEAST once...

Lets vote for a Sticky Icons thread!

like the title says...if you feel like me...just vot for it...and i hope the moderator gona make one.
i think it would be nice if we had a Sticky thread for icons...there gona be links and preview of icons to all post with sets of icons like mine set.
so what do you think?
Definitely a good idea! Especially considering the many many useless threads that get created each day. Love your icons btw.
I'll vote for that!
+1 Vote for all icon packs to be compile into a single thread & always updated.
me too would like this, also slider tab icons.
I will create a sticky later today with a section for icon sets, a section for taskbar mods, a section for themes and a section for general screen mods. If anyone can help with ideas or links to any of the threads then post them here and I will compile them.
I will start with a simple Title and link with maybe a screenshot and see how it goes from there. I was looking into doing this anyway as its soo hard to find what you are looking for in here as soo many new threads are created every day.
Any help is welcomed

I have put some of you in there already but if you have anything else you want to go in then post a link in that thread and I will add it to the relevent sections.
Hope it makes things alot more ordered and easier for everyone to find.

Editing/Removing Bottom Bar

Hi, please be gentle with me as I'm new here. I posted this on the HTC Mega forum, as that's my phone, but I thought I'd ask it on the Windows general forum as well. Here's what I posted:
"I'm trying to set up my Touch 2 so that it looks and feels exactly how I want it, and I'm nearly there. The only issue I have is the bottom bar. On the home screen it currently has "Phone" and "Contacts" as its default, and I'd love to either change it or (preferably) remove the bottom bar completely. I trawled through the user guide from htc.com and I've tried using the Search here to no avail so I just thought I'd ask. Any clues?"
My home screen looks like the attached - I'm using Easy Today Launcher, and johan kranzcmar's wonderful task bar (thanks johan!), along with a Pure Black theme.
Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in anticipation....
Anyone who can figure this out would be helping me too!

[Q] Phonex Diamond type theme

i apologize in advance if i posted this in the wrong place. i do a lot of searching but very little posting. (honesty) anyway, after countless searches i can't seem to find a them for Phonex that would complement the HTC home on my Tilt. i'm using a diamond style theme and background on this QVGA device. i did find some themes at modaco.com that look like what i want but the problem is once installed the zero button doesn't work. on any of them. thanks for taking the time to read this. you can see themes i was referring to here: sorry. turns out the moderators wont let me post a link.

cheers.

cht_slider_email
cht_slider_missedcalls

thanks for helping out though bud.....
lol its cool I did the same thing to poyensa last night.
anyhow in the cht thread someone posted all the png files for the lock screens...if your feeling creative.
(I always use defaults as a template of sorts)
be sure you post up what you make.
later.
nothing special, just adds a bit of colour.....

[Q] Theme co-op thread idea...

This wasn't so much a question as an idea... but forgive me if this should be in the Q&A section.
My question, or idea, which is probably not new, is this:
Can a thread be made in the themes section for members to post their screens and then ask other members/devs/themers for their advice on what to add/remove and etc.?
Sort of a "WWXDAD" (What Would XDA Do?)
To elaborate. Let's say I switch my theme to Nex by kgill, and remove all my old widgets and icons to be left with a completely blank home screen. I would then post a screen shot (and lock screen) - blank - and ask "What would you guys do if this were your phone to theme?" With other members maybe linking, referencing, or even providing icons, widget settings, etc. for that persons set up. Maybe a brief tutorial on "how to make this look like that" (e.g. overlapping widgets and weather icons, etc.)
Idk. Just a thought I had. I still have a blank screen with just the forecast on it and have no idea what I want to do with the rest of the space. Instead of being selfish and asking for myself I figured something new could be started to help other people who have that same, um, themer's block.
