How would I go about changing the shortcut icons under windows mobile? I'm using the Home Plugin on on htc touch and wish to customize the look of all the program icons.
You have to change the icon of the exe, this may be done with any resource editor software. For example:

I am interested in getting HHC (HTC Home Customiser) working on smartphones. I understand it's possible to simply over-write files in HTCHome directory to change the icons and clock font. Does anybody care to elaborate?
Nevermind. I figured it out. Gonna have some fun now and replace all my junk
How did you get HHC to work on the Vox?

The application doesn't recognize that HTCHome Plugin is installed since it's ripped. I am in contact with the author to rectify that - for the time being you can simply replace whatever PNG from the respective folder from HTC Appearances into the \Windows\ directory to change icons, weather, clock fonts and such.
Ok, for the start menu, is there any place that I could go to that has custom icons for the folders in the start menu? Also, how would I remove the battery indicator from the taskbar(top bar on phone)? I have tried the registry edits, but none work for me, is there a cab file or some other way to do it? I have a Samsung Blackjack 2 and its running wm 6.1.
You're lucky that I've also been looking into these matters for a while. And I think I've got the answers for all of your questions (and more). I'll share my collections here, but maybe not one time for all. I'll continue to edit this post to try covering everything about icons. So just bookmark your thread and keep looking for updates.

For the battery stytus icon on today screen, FInixNOver have two threads discussing about this, one of them is:
[SKN] Customizing the Windows Taskbar [UPDATE-26/10/2008]
For remove it from taskbar, there is a registry tweak, but seems not working well for all WM6 & up OS builds, it will leave an ugly empty space on taskbar for some OS builds. The registry need to create is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"TBOpt":
dword:0 -> show battery
dword:1 -> show clock
dword:2 -> show date
dword:3 -> show date and clock together
Using above should be combined with the following key:
At least you can change it to display clock instead of battery stytus by tweaking this registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock":
dword:0 -> show battery
dword:1 -> show clock
I found a thread here on xda with beautiful icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993 . Now the big question for me is how can I change the standard icons with an icon from that thread ? I am using winmo 6.1
If your ROM is 6.5 then you can use re/Start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379. For Folder icons you can browse here http://www.iconspedia.com/pack/pry-black-1686/.
To change the tab icons I use Max TF3D Theme Maker. The icons can usually be found as a manila file that this app can then install to your phone. Some tab icon sets can also be found as cab files that just install themselves to your phone. Either way you can get the look you want.
I am going through and replacing the ugly default icons. JWMD doesn't see some of them, even after scanning and registering the ones that aren't registered. Games, programs in subfolders, the HTC wifi apps, and the system and settings icons are not displayed. I wish to replace these, but since JWMD doesn't see them, I don't really know how.
Also, how does one change the icons in the taskbar? I'm using Hart's 6.5 rom on an omnia...
And, does anyone know of any good iphone like icons for zsirc and putty? I'm not going for an iphone theme, but I like how the icons are all nice, big, smooth, and round.
You can change the Start Menu icons through the registry, which is explained on the Windows Phone Blog.
I know how to do that, I'm talking about chaging icons for apps that are not in the startmenu...they're in startmenu folders, and then there are the settings icons as well.
