Changing HTChome Launcher Icons

I'm trying to change my icons for the HTChome Launcher but it's not working for some reason.
Such as the backlight icon, the original name for the file is HH_LAUNCHER_32x32_backlight.png and the path is HTCHome\HH_LAUNCHER_32x32_backlight.png. I just replaced that file with a different icon with the same name but on the phone after a softreset, won't update to the new icon. I checked the registry for the path of the icon and it retrieves the file "HH_LAUNCHER_32x32_backlight.png".
What am I doing wrong?

disregard this post please

Nobody knows?

Location of colourcodes for text wm6.5

Just updated a pro2 (Rhodium) to wm6.5 and hate the look....
My background image is very light and I want to change the colour
of the text on the today screen. Unlike 6.1 it is not so easy and
although I am used to editing registry etc. I can NOT find where
this is stored. I believe maybe in the .tsk file, but also can not find an editor to
deal with wm6.5 and these .tsk files.
ANY help and clues would be appreciated!
ALSO, is there ANY way of sorting the Start Menu Icons?

Rename .tsk to .cab, extract .cab (eg, with Cab2OEM). There is a registry file (.rgu) that you can edit within.
Start Menu order can be modified via registry/.provxml, or you can simply hold and drag individual icons.

Thanks, but sadly with win6.5 can not drag icons anywhere - only option is "move to top" and having trouble finding where it stores this data, although
have found a couple of registry keys that say menu priority but numbers
don't make any sense.
Also in the .tsk for wm6.5 is the setup.xtml file and 3 other files that have
no extension. I have tried editing in various programs but just a few text
words at random and data - presumably the .png files compressed.
So, still looking!

Found two articles and work around. May help others.
WM6.5 does NOT have the usual entries under \color but if they
are added, then they seem to work
See:--

but for more overall this seems useful, but still checking:-

[Q] Can't Find 3G/Reception Bar Icons In Drawable Folder To Replace

I'm trying to replace the 3g and reception bars icons in the taskbar but I can't seem to locate the .pngs in framework-res.apk. I thought they were in the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder but no dice. Can someone point me to where they are? I can change them myself once I find them. If anyone's interested, it's a VaelPak 2.3 framework-res with MattedBlues icons replacing most of those in the framework-res, I'll upload it when done. Thanks.

Look in drawable-mdpi, the names should be something like stat_sys_data

The taskbar icons are in the drawable-hdpi-v4 on my ROM, which I'm pretty sure is the same as the mdpi folder. I saw the 3G icons (not the reception bar ones) but when I replaced them then pushed the new framework-res, they don't change. I'm using ClockWorkMod Recovery so I can mount the system partition and push the file but it has an issue with clearing dalvik. Could this be the problem? Also, do I have to replace the Gmail icon in the gmail.apk? That is still the old style also. Thanks for the help.

I found what I was looking for: the icons are in the com.htc.resources.apk in /system/res folder. Switched 'em out, all good. The taskbar isn't finished 'cause I gotta get into some individual app .apk but when I'm finished doing that and probably making a whole theme, I'm gonna post it on VaelPak forum: http://vaelek.com/. Thanks.

[Theme][q]Miui - a black and green beta d1 theme

How does one go about changing the text of certain things like the area in the dropdown notification and incorporating it into the theme?
Taking an existing theme and editing the files was cake.
However...
I ran into issues when i tried to add png icons the theme did not come with.
saved as the official name of the apk's icon.... com.xxxx.xxxx-x.png and placed it in the icons folder of the zipped theme.
wouldn't even display the theme in theme manager until i deleted any extra files I tried to add.
I made a theme. Open for criticism. It's my first time though, be gentle ....

You have to create a folder called icon. Your other icons for non stock programs go there.
your folders from (lets call it )the root of your zip file should read
com.android.launcher
com.android.mms (if you are changing the messaging theme)
framework
icon
preview
descriptions.xml
Also join miui-dev and click on themes, there is a guide there

The pre-existing theme already had an icon folder, to which i did place the files into, and labeled correctly. just wouldn't allow the theme to display afterwards

Eclipse help for theme!

So I am editing a go launcher template theme and i saw there were some parts i wanted to change that wasn't included in the template...for example the little icons ontop of the apps when you want to delete (kill.png kill_light.png etc...) I added this code
<AppIcon text_color="#FFFFFFFF" text_bg_color="#ff3f3f3f" delete_app="kill" delete_app_highlight="kill_light" new_app_icon="new_install_app"
update_icon="appfunc_app_update" locker_icon="promanage_lock_icon" close_app_icon="promanage_close_normal" close_app_light="promanage_close_light"/>
with png's with the right names in the drawable hdpi folder but they don't show up when i test it out...am i missing something? I was able change the media management icons in the app drawer by adding this
<SwitchButtonBean button_galleryicon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_gallery" button_gallerylighticon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_gallery_light"
button_musicicon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_music" button_musiclighticon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_music_light"
button_videoicon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_video" button_videolighticon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_video_light"
button_appicon="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_app" button_appiconlight="appfunc_mediamanagement_switch_button_app_light"/>
but it didn't work for the other part (the smaller versions of those same icons in the media management menu)
what am i missing??

oh and i added the code to app_func_theme.xml if you were wondering

anyone?

okay so im inching closer to the solution....im guessing i have to edit the drawable in the r.java? Is this possible because i read somewhere everything in the gen folder is generated and not to edit it..but its the only place i can find that explains why the media management code i added work and the small icon code (kill, kill_light) didnt....i can see the icon references java file...if i do edit this java file or the public.xml (it appears to be linked to this part of the r.java file) where do i get this 10 digit code to put after the equal sign.
