So as you all know, we have the center, left, right portions of our desktops. Is it possible to add additional space? I am sure this would require serious editing of the source code or whatever. Has anyone explored this idea?
I don't need anymore space, as I keep the apps that I use most of the time on the screen but the ones that I don't I just use the pull up menu.
left screen: work related stuff 4 things
center screen: standard phone stuff 7 things
right screen: fun and games 3 things

i dont really need more space either, but my thought was that once the widgets idea is expanded upon, we will need as much space as we can get. nevertheless, i think some people could make do with more space.
If the right people hear this idea.....we might get something
unfortunately....i am not one of those people...
yea I always thoguht 5 screens would be hot...an up and a down from the center home screen.
More Space would be cool, I like thee ability to make Folders and put them on the desktop, or even just create folders in the the applications scroll up, So II can seperate games from Utilities, and etc..

It is possible to create folders on the desktop... Just long press on the screen, choose shortcut and then folder...
Okay so we never accomplished an answer if the desktop can be extended? I know it can't be as simple as going in to change some numbers around, but is it possible for this to get done?
I'd prefer a winmo like 'cube'. Either the 4 sided style where you only have left/right and can spin a full 360, or the 6 sided dice style where you can spin a 360 in all directions(this could be a pain tho).
...But alas, I'm am also merely a dreamer with no dev skills wse :/
Yeah that would be pretty cool, but still have to figure out if its possible lol
i use folders to organize my apps works really well, what i would like is ability to put folders in folders, and to put folders in the application,
i think if we have more horizontal panels it would look more like the iphone, i like the top and bottom like the touch cube from WM
i'd just like to see a way to make the icons smaller so we can fit more on the screen. i think 4 on a row would be a good amount tbh.
probably wouldn't be that difficult to do either, once we get the xml files sorted out.

Can I rename that folder? Like games, and another Apps.

P.S. Nevermind, open folder, long presson folder name lets you rename. This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for, makes 6 icons on my desktop into 1.
Hope someone can help ? In my start menu, I've 'lost' the icon themes for HTC People, HTC Music, HTC Calendar and HTC Twitter. Each icon now simply appear like default Blue Framed Folders. The applications work fine when clicked. If I delete the icons, shut down and restart, they simple reappear incorrectly ?
No idea what I've done !! ? Hope this makes sense ?!
Help !
I've got a similar issue. I have a two 'People' and 'Music' Icons apprearing and the second copy of these also apprears as a blue framed folder.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, is this a bug and is there a fix?
I've got the same problem, after installing the Puremind BG4alltabs&16 shortcuts.cab deleting the cab won't restore the HTC icons
Same problem here after i installed Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab
after the first restart not only the htc icons were doubled ia also lost the icons of my custom created shortcuts bu they reappeared after deleting and recreating the shortcuts.
But the doubled htc shortcuts are not deletable they reapear after every reboot....

I've got this issue as well, also after installing Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (to get the additional quick links).
Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome.
Moved as not theme release.
mine did the same thing all you have to do is go to settings then security the factory reset.......just make sure when you do it you save all of your information to your memory card because it will delete everything thats on the device.
Isn't there another solution than just doing a factory reset ?
Maybe someone can upload the original icons here. I would expect the problem to be resolved if we then just copy those original icons back into the windows folder.
I had the same problem on my TP2 a while back, no solution other than a H-Reset
still no solution?
too bad. i hate reset it.
Solution on this thread... Sort of...

Gets rid of the icons being reproduced all together.
please upload all of the icons here. thanks in advance =)
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

Hi,
Just got my hd2 (tmobile) day before yesterday and its amazing, i can go on and on about it
on my previous winMo device i had spb mobile shell installed which allowed me to add a shortcut tab "my shortcuts" on the home screen clicking on which would open a window where i could have my favorite programs, contacts, docs etc in one place.
is this possible to do this on the home screen of sense UI, where there are 9 customizable tabs present or is it possible to put a shortcut of any folder on the home screen.
i ask this question because one of tabs on the home screen has a transformers icon on it, and clicking it takes me to the transformers folder on the sd card which has transformers 1 and 2. this same transformers icon/shortcut is also present in programs menu.
i added some mp4 files in the transformers folder on the sd card which has both movies and after doing that when i click on its icon it does direct me to its folder but only shows me the 2 movies not the added mp4 movies.
i hope iam able to explain myself
having a shortcut tab on the home screen which can add a shortcut to a folder would be very helping other than just having the stock program, bookmark, contact options.
thanks in advance.

Touch and hold over an Icon, and drag it off the screen to delete it. Tap to add a new shortcut.
Look into Cookies Home Tab editor to add more shortcuts
Explore folders, find and select program file and hold it, tap copy, now explore windows folder-startmenu- programs- edit- paste shortcut, done. Now you can add it to quick links. If I understand you right.

i have a couple of movies in my storage card and i would like to have an icon on my device to each movie on my storage card, that way i can put them in my quick links ,
The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. it has a Transformers icon in the start menu that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format located in the storage card . Is there a way to create your own?

i had to return mine today at the store because it had a small spot inside the screen, maybe a dead pixel, giving the same affect as you would see when you would sprinkle a drop of water on LCD.
the store reps. were acting up for a replacement saying that even when they get new onces they have already reserved them for new customers, also the tmobile (611) rep told me they would be able to help me had i purchased the phone online
so i returned it
Has anyone got a method for accessing the file-system of a Focus? Or possibly have a method for ripping the built-in apps off the phone? I want to replace the default icons of some of the standard apps. Specifically i want to change the look of the Map icon to a map of my city. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Also, I modified some of the Homebrew App icons and splash screens to feel a little more Metro-ey. If this pisses someone off, please let me know and I'll remove them. I've done a few more that I didnt upload if anyone wants more.
good job!

1st party apps will be a problem I think and not possible on the samsung device so far I believe....
However for 3rd party apps its no problem. You can download the xaps with desktop marketplace dan than just drop the images in the xap. I did this with a few apps who had butt-ugly icons. I just cant stand the look of some of these icons especially not when they are trying to add 3d affects and shining stuff to it
I'm glad to know i'm not the only one. 3D icons don't always look good. Remember a few yers ago when everything had to be glass?
I never got into Pokemon, perhaps because I was a little too old when it came out, but there are two pokemons that I think are awesome. One is Snorlax and the other is your avatar. I won a large stuffed Polywhirl at a fair (my girlfriend at the time was a whiz at skee-ball). Thumbs up to you, sir.

Very nice!
I hate those 3d and shiny icons too. However (for the only program that I use, Wifi settings one) I would rather prefer a big "wireless signal" graph like the one near the wp7 clock that the complex but still better than the original, metro wifi icon you added.
PS: The wifi application shows the old icon in the program list

Much better! but can you tweak just a little bit the icon:
-rotate it -45 degrees
-last small piece is a circle but the sides of the circle are inside the icon
-same image for the small icon
hehe! blended 100% in our phones!
yes will try do that for ya!
Fixed the small icon and threw in a few optional icons like fades bars. Let me know what you think.
Very nice! thanks you both!
I actually unpinned the original wifi app because the icon, but now it's back to my main menu tiles
