Task Manager Topbar Icon

Hey guys, just made these images for changing the Topbar Task Manager Icon. Feel free to use openly. They are based off of the default Notification Icon for the Task Manager on Windows 7.

And, Battery Icons I'm working on...
Edit: Right-click and save as, than copy to kaiser/Tilt to view to see what it'll look like better. Has numbers for percentage that aren't showing in the thumbnail below due to them being white and too close to the page's background color...

why can't I see attched photos?
sorry, may this is not about your thread, but I am interested it.

They are very small, 16x16 Pixel, the size of the topbar icons. So they maybe showing up on your screen and you may have just overlooked them depending on your screen resolution.
I'm saving the battery icons atm, will upload a zip soon...

Here's all the Battery Images.

These are just the images. You need to edited the dll/mui's to replace the default icons used.

This is a very old thread now. The images need to be put into the taskservice.dll of an old build of the Task Manager. The new version doesn't support skinning of this type. Please see this thread for more information on the newer builds that use a binary registry value to control the icon.

Assign new icons to quick links?

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.

Home screen quick link icon problem

Hey guys,
I have a small issue with the icons for my quick link programs on my home screen.
If I change the icon in the start menu, it won't update on the quick link. So I'm stuck with the old icon on my quick link, and the new icon in my start menu.
Any ideas on how to fix it? I'm using JWMD Icon Changer to change the icons.

the same for me!

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!

Program Icons

Hi all, I was wondering, where does HD2 store the icons for programs installed?

Using a file explorer, navigate to Application Data (Device)----HTC-----ProgLauncher.
But what are you planning to do?

Thanks for the help, I looked where you told me and I found them. I am skinning my icons with valeria to match the other icons.

oh, ok. Glad it helped.

Why aren't you using JWMD or CSMI to change all the program icons??
It works a lot better than really replacing/renaming them by hand

That is what I have in that folder? activesync.bmg, adobe reader.bmg, etc. I opened that folder expecting to find png's???

I think it would be a lot easier for you to just replace the icons with JWMD or CSMI.
When you've replaced all program icons you wanted to change, don't forget to clear Sense's cache to get results.
You can either do it manually or by using SICC
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. Are you sure you aren't seeing ".bmp" instead of ".bmg"??

The reason for wanting the stock images, is if you cannot find a png on the net to make an icon. I know how to make icons, check sig, but I am wondering why they have a file extension of .BMG? Or is it something that is messed up on my system.
I would like to retrieve the icon images for B&L gps tracker, etc, so that I may create a custom icon out of the original. Sometimes the cab installer will have a png image in the program files folder, but not usually.

[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?

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 ...
