You just need a decent graphics app and some art skills mate. Then export your final images as 128x128 png files. You then link your shortcuts to your images via a registry entry. That's the easiest bit lol.
Good luck

No worries mate. One thing I should add - when you save the finished items as png files, save then as 32bit. 24bit is full colour, but no alpha layer, which is what gives it transparency and allows things like nice smooth edges and shadows etc..

You can use CSMI to set your icons easily

I second that request...
But more importantly, that slider theme is quite impressive. I'm really curious about that as opposed to the entire theme.
Beautiful icons, nevertheless.

Well, after vigorously searching for the SLIDER that appears in the pictures above... I've come up empty-handed. I'm obsessing over that SLIDER modification. It's gorgeous.
Thanks for this,
It's a great idea! If you get the chance, would it be possible to do an Opera cab with the attached icons? It would be really appreciated and I know that it would look great!
Thanks in advance

SEARCH THE FORUMS!
That can be done and the thread exists in which that topic is being discussed. I've followed several different sets of instructions on HOW TO edit an individual icon from the slider tabs, and it really isn't that difficult.
Thanks for e-mailing me the slider theme Agamemmnon, I appreciate it.

Thanks for pointing this out!
I have a request. Its an image that matches the colorful stickers slider theme and i managed to track down the original icon set. I had a go at creating it myself. I replaced the image with the one included after i had edited it to be squished as you seem t have to do, however after copying it to windows i had no icon at all. Copying the original back it returned. Is there some sort of signing process ect required. Anyway attached is the .png image

Nice icons. Have you figured out which manila file is for the SMS message background? I need to rework it for Elegancia but can't find the right file!
Been busy all week doing the new toggle switches, notifications, status indicators, etc for Elegancia for CHT 2.0 - bored with that now, what else can we play with

Yeah, this is the email background. The other one is right though (3EA7E114) for the CHT 2.0 SMS widget background (which was the one I was looking for ) I had already found it in CFC GUI and have had a go at skinning it (needs a bit more tweaking before I'm happy with it but it's a start and at least we know we're looking at the correct file!) - screenshot below.

Should have used these 3 cabs for on/off and hero. Labeled as per size to avoid confusing myself.
Let me know if it does the trick. Plan B is to overwrite the /windows folder or better still use cfc_gui to load the changes. For that I will need to send you the .png's +/- manila files.
PM me if I am slow to get back here. Keeping up with Weather Panel and Marshall's wait cursors is keeping my free time busy!!!

[Q] How to change icon manually?

Hi everybody,
I know this is a stupid question and out there are many threads about how to change the icons exct...
I also know my BIG problem make laugh many people because I should live with it but I have to know how to do it and make the icons like I like.
So, I have to change just 1 icon only in Settings/System folder, I used already uComber and JWMD Icon Changer v3.1b but no 1 ot them see the icon of the application, basically the ugly icon of SRS WOW HD Equalizer I can't change it. 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.
How can I change that icon?
try another
I somewhat had the same problem of changing some icon and not others My suggestion is try other icons changer here 1 that help me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589459 good luck and I hope this will help u.

Any Idea?
@eclyptos
You must use JWMDIconChanger_v3.1b.
With this app cann you all icon change and rename.

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 ...

OK, Guys, I did, WOW!
I saw the others links in the registry and they was written differently, so I did exaclty like the others and it's worked!
Ha ha, finnaly, now i can change icons without halp of any progr, that is amazing.
Ofcurse without yours help that will be never possible so thanks guys, I compleated my rom.
Cheers.
Nice result
