How can I change the "Icons" of the system tiles or even edit the text under them?
bump? bump!
I was looking for something similar. Except changing the tiles to words and have them in a vertical list much like the Zune application does.

The Slide Panel feature is a nice addition, and seemes to offer more ways of customizing home screens.
Looking around the forums, I've learned most of the possibilities, but a few remain unknown for me.
- in a XML file (\windows\slidingpanel.home.xml) you decide general colors, iconbar, etc..
- in a XML file (\windows\chome_240x320.cpr for me) you can decide the position, size, font of the different parts of the blocks.
- in the registry (HKLM\software\microsoft\chome) you decide which parts are enabled, and the details of some of them (for example : settings).
I've not understood :
- how to change the icon on the top left of every panel ?
- where those icons are stored ?
- Is there any possibility of settings for the content : for example, I can see 2 days of apointments. can I change this to 3 or 4 ?
Does anybody know a good bible on that ?
Thanks
As for as icons, edit them in the reg. Under ICONPATHS (it may have numbers like 2450;2451), the first # I think is the selected panel icon and second # is unselected panel icon. You can change these icons numbers to a file location like this: \My Documents\
icons\sel.png;\My Documents\icons\unsel.png
You can make them any location or filename, main memory is better than storage card. Size of the icon is controlled by the cpr file(width="" and height="") and its displayed location(left="" and top=""). You can change Picture in reg same way but it would just be one icon in that value, not 2. You can also add extra icons, pics, or even panel backgrounds to different style panels if you want, but that is a little different.

Thanks for the tips, I'm learning day after day...
One mistake in my post : there is a second set of keys for that in the registry : HKLM/security/chome/defaultsettings. The first set of keys seems to be overwritten during every boot with the content of this second set of keys. To save a modification, you need to modify the 2 sets at the same time.
You don't get all those time consuming possibilities with a plain Nokia phone... !
Does anyone know how to change the color of the text of my task/title bar and soft key bar (top and bottom bars) I have UI tweaker but I don't see a setting in there, so I was wondering if there is a different program that will handle this? I'd like to change the color of the word start, the battery icon, etc as well as the soft key texts. I would love to change the color to match lilrico's(from ppcgeeks) full cactus green theme.
you can change the font color in the softkey bar with ui tweaker, I have not had any luck getting the taskbar font color changed with any software, probably a reg edit or hex code somewhere (didn't try too hard though). The icons are a totally different ballgame, all of the images are in .dll files that have to be changed manually using a resource editor
do you know how to do it?
I hope someone can offer me some help. I'm trying to figure the path from icon to application that the icons on the slider have. For example, the picture icon on the slider when tapped takes you to the "Photos & Videos" app and the silver circle with an arrow in the middle takes you to the "Sprint Navigation". Some icons on the slider, some that I mentioned above, when tapped, take you to a different looking version of that application versus tapping on the icons in the programs list. What I'm trying to figure out is, where or how do I find what application the icons on the slider are linked to, by path or otherwise.
On another note, do you know where I would find the location of the icons for the applications in the program list? If you could provide me with any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Maybe a stupid question.
I want to change the space between the icons in the background of my homescreen. Is that possible? I have Endymon 3.4, Launcher Pro. I want the icons to come closer to each other regarding the hight. To add one more row to put the icons in?
Edit: found it, stupid as I was i had already been there and changed the columns and rows to standard, therefore I did not noticed any changes!
--Preferences-->Homescreens Settings-->"Number of Columns" and Number of Rows"
I find the notch notification area unsatisfactory and kinda wanna restore a classic android feeling, I couldn't find any android theme or framework settings that gives me 2 rows of notifications. See my mockup for the idea, but basically I'd like to have a way to enable a second row of notifications that show icons you'd normally see in the horizontal view.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
