Can't get all Icons changed.. really not
Sorry to grab here but I tried in other threads and other forums but anyone had a solution for me.
I deleted all the Quicklinks on Homescreen, installed Diniks Anastasia set by cab file, cleared the ProgLauncher. In the Start Menu all Icons are showing roght but only about 40% of the Icons come on right on the Homescreen.
I look in Icon changer but there also all icons are showing correct. I long pressed on every Icon and said "hide default icon".. but no change to those that will not show on Homescreen.
By looking inside de Proglauncher Folder I remarked that all the icons that work are listed there, but not those that will not show correctly.. why that?
Any help, suggestions? Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase?

you have to create a theme with iconchanger, after you have to go in the folder programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name" and , with a file explorer,(program like rescoexplorer are better!!) rename the icon of the program was showed uncorrectly in your homescreen quicklink, after go in jwdm iconchanger , holdtap the program icon you want to change, programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name"\"your_icon_you_have_just_renamed" .. afther this reclear the proglauncher folder and all is fine! -- for correct homescreen quicklink softreset is not needed, is needed for start menu only.
Wow, really something new.. gonna triy this tonight. I'll give feedback.. thanks a lot..!
Couldn't wait and tried on the spot. Seems to work out really fine. Thanks for that simple way that even I can understand
Those Icons not showing in Icon Changer I still have to double in .. argh which folder was that again .. does this stay the same to show them?

I did as you said and it would work out.. and now the big BUT:
Some of the links in Windows\Startmenu\Programs are organized in subfolders, for instance folder "tools", as in the Startmenu itself. Icon Changer can obviously NOT SEE INTO subfolders, for it does not list those links, even if copied and pasted. Only if copied to Windows\Startmenu\Programs (one directory up) it is recognized, but of course it does too change place in Startmenu itself, so that's not what I want.
Question: Why can't my Icon Changer (latest version 26b) not see the links in subfolders, for I think that this is common in all standard Roms????
And what do I do to be able to change those Icons..?
CSMI can help
Ok, I could solve this problem by just using other software.. CSMI helped me out, this one even shows which links lie in a folder.
thank u for ur effort ,but still a little problem with the weather switch icon,in the quicklink,im using CSMI but i cant locate it to make the change

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
Haven't found a way to assign a new icon for a folder with Icon Changer

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.

Hi,...
I am looking for a solution to modify the Icons of *.url-files permanently.
Why?
I copied some spezial url-files ("DHL", "Doodle",... my kind of "Apps" ;-) to
the startmenu, and linked them on hometab.
There is a direct way for favorites (I know), but with URL-files in Startmenu it is also possible to change the single Icons with JWMD....
and with "url2Opera" it works perfectly, but...
...after some soft-Resets the Icons disappear and the original Icon gets back...
I already cleared the WinMo-Icons-Cache, and in JWMD the modified icons are still shown....
Has Anyone an idea how to solve this properly?
Thanks!
I am testing a "solution" now
Like told in my first post, i copied the url-files into the startmenu...
Now, I keep them in der favorites-folder, and only copy a shortcut into the startmenu...
Now i got a real *.lnk - file, maybe it works better now...
But, anyway, if somebody has an idea????
...

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

"10. If some Icons still the same after Restart. Prefer clearing HTC Sense's icon cache. Go to your Device's \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher Folder and delete all the *.bmg files inside. These are icon caches that will be recreated upon next boot.
And if that not helps you. Eraser85 found a solution for this! He found that if you try to use a custom icon which have the same filename of one of the images found in \Windows then Manila will always load that instead of your customized one! 90% of my Icons Have the Same Name. In order to easily fix the problem, just rename your icon. This bug affects ONLY manila, therefore in the start menu everything will look fine BUT in the Homescreen you will always have the original icon!"

And I thank you!
I'm just wondering where can I go to change icons items in TOGGLE SWITCH, NOTIFICATON ICON, and MISCELLANEOUS?
Thank you in advance.
With CFC-Gui. Search for it on Google.
This soft will show you all pictures in manila files and will allow you to change them.

Actually the files you are talking about are not Manila files. They are all just png image files which you will find in your Windows folder. They all have names beginning CHT_ and you'll find them with any good file explorer.
However to help you on your way have a look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742426&highlight=elegancia+toggle - at a set I put together. If you download and open the zip file you'll be able to see the names of all the individual files involved (or just download and install one of the cab files if you like the icons )
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much.
