Moving Icons Around - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

is there a program or a way to move my icons around some are buried deep into the programs and is there a way to move icons to desktop ?
Thanks AL

Just open File Explorer and navigate to Windows/Programs folder, find the shortcuts (burried deep) and move them wherever you want. But what do you mean by desktop? Today screen?
Regards,
Carty..

How do I Add a folder to Search Folders?

I am wanting to add a folder on my storage card to the Search Folders. When I go to Today Screen and browse for a picture background it come up with a search screen but it does not have a new folder I made called "Wallpapers".
Is there an XML or registry setting I can adjust?
Thanks

tsk themes don't install!! Help!

After dragging them into my device and click on them, all my Tilt does is take me to the theme page... no effect!
HELP!
then just use RC Mod and set your own background through Start > Settings > Today
and use your own pic. Thats what I did.

Have you tried searching google for "how to install tsk themes"? Here's one hit. http://pocketpccentral.net/help/tsk_files.htm
Basically copy the .tsk file to your ppc device (I place them in /My Documents).
Go to Settings>Today and then select your new theme....
then it's all grey + washed out. Is there a way to disable that?
alright i got it. thanx
you can drag the tsk file to the 'template' file in explore (activesync) and it will load it into the today screen list. (with the presets)

Change Folder/Application Icons

Can someone list one (or more) ways in which you can change the icon of a folder or applicaiton.
So, for instance if I created a folder under Start\Programs\ and wanted to give it something other than the plain-jane folder icon...?
thanks.
One other thing...
When you open up Programs it shows your programs icons listed in a 3x4 grid, thus fitting about 12 icons on screen at a time.
Is it possible to view your programs folder in a list-type view?
thanks again!
I'd like to know the answer to this too.

HI ,
Did anyone succeeded in changing the icons for Internet Explorer, Calculator, Notes, ActiveSyn and File Explorer?
No mater what i try i just cant seems to change the icon for the above mentioned although under SK he icons are changed.
Can someone pls enlighten me where i went wrong?
Thx.
Anyone pls..
Are these icons also available in VGA? For QVGA these are great but I think a lot of users are now using VGA devices so for us, these icons won't work for us.
thanks for sharing
Can sk shortcut manager change the icons of spb ms3 launcher?
Icon Size
Is there a way to get bigger icons?
I tried to enlarge them with psp and replace them with reshack.
That doesnt work. The icons stay small.
In MS3 bigger icons would look better to me.
Maybe that is a setting MS3?

HI,
Can anybody explain to me how I can change the Icons on my Omnia using the SK Shortcut Manager and the dlls from the first post?
How can I assign them to a certain icon or is this just automatically assigned by choosing the dll file in SK Shortcut Manager?
Many THX!

I've opened one of the .dll in the first post, with Reshack, and replaced the original icons with custom icons, just dragging them over the original, and then i saved the new .dll.
Hope this can help!!

[Q] how to locate, create & change icons

Hello - trying to search, but only getting search down error. I have the captivate with root and am trying to locate where the icons are kept. I would like to keep the 4 programs on the bottom dock, but want to change the icon. I wanted to go into Photoshop, but I can't find where the icons are kept. Any help or advice would be great. I prefer not to use another launcher to change icons as I like the screen the way it is.

There's an app called apk editor. Its on the i9000 themes and apps forum I believe.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Thanks! Going to check it out now.
OK, I'll admit it - I have no idea what I am doing. I do not know how to use the edit apk or apk manager. Is there any way to mount my phone, open photoshop, find an icon and edit it? I really am most wanting to edit the app icon on the dock. Does any one know where to find this icon? Also, where are the other icons - are they in each individual program? Thanks. Peace. Michele

1. extract the app with root explorer to the sd card,
2. put it on your computer and change it to a .zip file
3. extract the res folder and go into the drawable-hdpi
4. replace the current icon with the icon that you want (should be named something similar to "homescreen_icon_musicplayer.png" which is the stock music player icon) it shouldnt be to hard to figure out which one it is. just make sure the names are the same when you replace it.
5. replace the original res folder inside the zip file with the modified version
6. cange the zip back into a .apk and put it back onto the sd card
7. Finally using root explorer replace the old apk with the new one from the sd card.

Yes each app icon is built into the app. If all you really want to do is change the bar icon on your main screen then I would grab Launcher pro or another launcher that allows for custom Icons and use that or you will be editing each app one by one
