Menu Colors

its such a pretty phone with such a pretty interface and yet there are some graphical inconsistencies that are buggin the hell out of me. when touchflo 3d is turned on and off the start menu and quick menu change color schemes. i dont like any of those colors the way they are and i want to change them. how would i go about doing this? thanks. and it doesNT matter about the colors withOUT touchflo 3d because i will probably always have it on. i was just showing that it was different and how weird that is.
btw im running da_g's clean fuze rom which is why it doesnt quite look like the oem rom. i also included screenshots to show you what i am talking about.

^omgmyspace! screenshots!

any help? no? i just want to change some colors.

You might want to look at this thread. It's the Manila customizer. There's far more you can do than just color changes, but I think it's your only hope, unless you find an existing theme that somebody else already made.

so it is in the manilla theme? cause i installed the stock att theme from da_g's cab list and it looks different than the stock roms which made me think it was a registry entry that was not added. but ill check it out.
i felt a bit overwelmed last time i tried to use manilla customizer when i was trying to change the background on all tabs, which ended up never getting changed. but ill have another go at it and maybe ill get more things just the way i want.

what i figured out was it wasnt manilla customizer i used it was manilla editor i had used. but both are useless. HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\ and HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ and the dwords ManilaCustomHlDown and ManilaCustomHlUp in each which let me change select colors. its hex but its backwards hex so instead of rgb its bgr. that stumped me for like 15 minutes. and apparently you use the string CustomManilaTexture to change the backgrounds but its not working for me yet. ill fiddle with that until it does.

Application Icons Location

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!):

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?

Waze Icon

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??
cause thats the only "ugly" icon on my quicklinks and i would like to remedy it... any takers?? or perhaps someone could guide me and tell me how to do it.. so i can proceed?

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.

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.

[How To] Change the right softkey

if you want to change the right softkey all you have to do is:
1: Download my manila file
2: Backup the original 07c67730_manila file in your windows folder
3: Copy my manila file to your windows folder
4: With your favorite registry editor goto: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
5: Change: HomeRSKPath / HomeRSKText / HomeRSKArguments to what ever you like
For contacts change HomeRSKPath to: Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
To remove quick Links without the menu all you do is hold the quick link you dont want for about 3-4 seconds and then drag it away this works on my rom but gessing its the same for all roms

FYI, I used HD2Tweaks to achieve the same result without the hassle of backup up/copying manila files, going into the registry etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588652

Nice iv never used hd2tweaks before gess ill have to make mine even better so that it will have some use
*EDIT*
After testing hd2tweaks the right softkey setting never worked for me so i gess this is for people where hd2tweaks dont work
*EDIT*

Don't know if it's the Dutty ROM I have, Co0kie's Home Tab, or the ROM that you use, but the long-hold on quicklinks does nothing for me. Shame, because that sounded like a nice feature.

im also useing duttys rom so i gess its the Co0kie's Home Tab

I'm using an old version of a Dutty ROM - HG v0.8. It could be something that he himself introduced, if you're using a later version than me, but if that's the case then I'm pretty sure installing Co0kie's Home Tab would stop it working.

Im useing dutty HG 2.9
I was trying to make a customizable right softkey menu but run into some problems. I could make any of the menu items run anything that i set in the registry but i could not change the menus text
E.G i could make it so that when you click on somethink like Set Local Time and Date it would open the all people page but i could not change the text from saying Set Local Time and Date to say Contacts or any kind of text
the menu is loaded from Manila://home_menu.dialog if anyone knows how i can make my own .dialog so i can change the menu it would be grate

Thank you Splder!
It is perfect!

System Colors?

hi @all
i'm using the latest energy rom from here. I was trying to change the colors of outlook and the rest of the original windows mobile stuff from white background to black background and white text with sktools.
So far, so godd but i have the problem, that now the contact list is white background/white text just the highlighted one is ok. in SMS view via outlook it works great and even some menus are good some others not working that way but i think these are sense menus which would be ok for me. For example the file manager is also as i like it. what to do to solve this problem is there a solution? or maybe an easier way to change just this white background into black and the main text into white?

you probably will not able to do, wm background color value is used for others screens, I mean: when you set a black BG ,the same value is used for something else (can't remember which element.. text or highlight).
then every black background has this side effect.
the best you can reach is this dark grey combination (from Artemis rom thread and a WP7 variation) that let you read the text in all situations

you can also play with the attached UITweaker , not every option work on wm6.5 but the most of them do, and make all your tests.
for more infos check out the windows mobile forum and look for skinning WM6.5 threads

thanks alot! i got an compromise now which is working well so far. with sktools i swapped the color values and somehow now it works great even the highlighted stuff is ok so i found nothing which is incorrect so far even the settings menu or so it's fine don't know why it wasn't working the first time i did that. i would go over to android but i need the garmin app which is not working under it.
