My colletion of AppIcons & AppTiles for replacing the icons with Advanced Config by Julien Schaps.

Added new Glass Icons & Some more Icons to the non Glass version.

Instructions

;

Download & Install Advanced Configuration Tool for Windows Phone 7 Beta from above link. Download is near the middle of the page above the comments & advertisement.

Copy the AppTile_*.png & AppIcon_*.png's to \Windows of the device using Windows Phone Device Manager or the USB Hack/TouchXplorer/Advance Explorer methods.

Open Advanced Config Tool & change to Tile & Icons tab.

Select desired app/hub & then select the desire AppTile & AppIcon png's. (Some Hubs/App are currently disabled in the Advanced Config tool because they have Live Tiles & changing those Tile images will cancel out the Live Tile Functionality.)

Select Change, then OK to confirm changes.

There's a second pop up asking you to restart to make changes, click OK if done, Cancel if you want to change more icons.

NOTE: According to the developer of Advanced Configuration Tool, schaps, it works with HTC & LG devices for change icons. The tool also has some support for Samsung devices, but NOT Icon changing. Please report any problems about it not working to the developer. This thread is just a collection thread for icons. I can't help getting it working.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Toin3:
Thank you ;)

The adobe reader icon is very beautiful :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No problem, just made a few new icons. Uploading the new zip in a few seconds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tchitchicruise:
Very pretty! you are going to you do other..?

:-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] magistrala669:
i have a question. i went to touchxperience site download a bunch of files. all were compressed . cab files. Wanted to use advanced config tool so i could change some icons but honestly i do not know how to install the thing let alone use it.

so i would appreciate some help getting this up and running.

using omnia 7

edit: nevermind, did some digging, it is htc only atm and xaps were available as stated below.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Hi Very nice is there any reason why you made the tiles 200x200 the default size for live tiles is 173x173
[Windows Phone 7 General] TomaHawk93:
Can i upload my custom icons here too? Or should we open a collection thread?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I am going to be doing more as time goes on. I also made a glass over lay for the tile, just need to figure out how to customize the tiles first.

DOWNLOAD LINK

The site has both WM 6.5 CAB files & WP7 XAP files. You want the XAP files, he makes apps for both OS'es. You need your device Unlocked & Tom XAP Installer v1.2 to side load the app. There are quite a few thread here on XDA that have instructions to Unlock your device.

No reason, I just didn't know the specific size & figured 200 x 200 should be big enough & would be scaled down.

Be my guest to unload yours here. I'll change the title to "Collection Thread".
[Windows Phone 7 General] TomaHawk93:
3 icons in metro style

These are my first icons, in metro style :D

Special made for:

Ascii Art SMS

DeBrander (Homebrew)

RemoveSideloadLimit (Homebrew)

I know they are not the greatest, but maybe you guys will like them :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lingdot:
how to use the icon? which folder i can copy ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] TomaHawk93:
just put them in the windows folder of your mobile (for example with the windows phone device manager) and apply them with the new advanced config tool.

@drkfngthdragnlrd Maybe you can put this in the first post :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lingdot:
Thanks very much!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lingdot:
Another question,why can not choose the people,phone,message .etc. when i change the icon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
Ok... No new thread

Sinse we can make this a Collection thread then ...

This is the first set of the icons that i will make for use in tiles.

If i find some time i will make another set...if you want any specific one

please let ne know..
[Windows Phone 7 General] tchitchicruise:
Thx very much for your icons pack!

Have you an idea to find app Phone to change this to AppTile_phone.png

I can find with advanced tools 1.2..?

:-(
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
For now, those built in Hubs that have Live Tiles have been disabled by the Advanced Config developer. If you change those icons, you'd loose the Live Tile functionality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
The answer from drkfngthdragnlrd is correct ...for now they are disable...

I made some of them because this will change in next versions...

For the time all the live tiles app its good practice to not change the tile picture...
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
those icons look nice but they are a terrible design for metro. too much chrome. tile icons should be basic
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
My idea of what WP7 should of looked like (Photoshopped, not real);
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:

I'm just sayin' bro
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Please delete...
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
lol you're the one who can't accept opinions. I said your icons look good and it's good that you have made them available for everyone.

however it IS a fact that your icons go against the metro design. Your icons have a lot of chrome which looks nice but content is the main focus of metro, not chrome. Not saying it's bad, it just doesn't fit in with metro

please refrain from posting in this thread if you can't understand that. Thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Can a MOD please clean this thread from DatDereX1's & mine conversation? I'd prefer to keep this thread clean & on topic for Icon submissions or requests/etc. I've added DatDereX1 to my ignore list to prevent further escalating this conversation. Thank you in advanced.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
For those who wish to make a glass icon set. Here is my Glass overlay.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Icons in OP updated, some new Icons & a new Glass version set.
[Windows Phone 7 General] djcedric:
thanks for the glass icons,im also busy to made a touch of glass folder but im dooing some tests at the moment...

i have 2 questions:

1. look the picture,why on internet tile my icons is not as big as the others?

2. is it possible to have the tiles transparant? or to made them black like the background?

Thanks to everyone :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I have made the icon full size (173x173 Pixels as per what I've been told, mine are 200x200), but if you look @ my new Glass Icons. The bottom 4 pixels do not get covered on MS Built in Tiles. The MS Tiles do not seems to upscale while the non built in tiles may. It looks as though a few of your icons were upscaled (blurred looking). You can make the bg black so it looks transparent, but as I said, MS Built in Tiles will have the bottom 4 pixels showing through.
[Windows Phone 7 General] djcedric:
ok thanks for the answer,i try to made them 173x173 and see the result....

Thanks mate :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
NP, the Tiles (AppTile_*.png) are 173 x 173 as I said & the applist (AppIcon_*.png/Start Menu?!?!?) Icons are 62 x 62 I believe. I tend to make mine a little bigger, 200 x 200 & 64 x 64 just to be sure. They'll just be scaled down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] djcedric:
after dooing some changes here are the results...like you sayd the 3 pixels are present so maybe asking to julien shapman for a solution?

now how can we skin all the icons?at the moment only the one we have in the list but do you think julien have some plans to make it also possible for all apps?

-
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I have been reading the comments on his site. He said he disabled apps with Live Tiles, because you loose Live Tile functionality. I am not sure if he plans to allow changing those Icons unless he can figure out how to keep Live Tile functionality. I know we need to find a way to hack the layout to make the Glass a new lay for tiles as on Live Tiles, the icons moves to the left when you have messages/missed calls etc. So having the Glass overlay being part of the Icon itself won't work with Live Tiles, at least in theory. I still need to report the 3 pixel issue. Just found it today.
[Windows Phone 7 General] djcedric:
wel i have posted on the beta forum :)

let's hope we can put a glass effect later on all tiles so we can made full themes :)

ok these are fast tests ,i have to made it better no worry :) i have try to put the reg settings to made the tiles black but with no succes,do you have a working file to apply this reg?

if we can skin all the files it would be great :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I use Advanced config to ad a new theme color. Sadly for black, it'd not work right as the tile color is also the volume slider & # color as well as a few other aspects of the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] djcedric:
right i did not think about the slider etc...but at the moment i have it all blue and have made the tiles black and not transparant like before,this way it works all fine only the some pixels that stay blue...maybe julien wil give a solution i will wait for hes reaction...

I can not in any way to copy the folder and change the icons of the tiles!

Can you help me?

Thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 General] djcedric:

@ DJCEDRIC

Just so you know, the English in the touch of glass banner in your sig is messed up.

it currently says:

Touch of Glass, it's more as only graphics, it's a community!

DJC.BOBSBB2.XDA Community all togheter

it should read:

Touch of Glass, it's more than just graphics, it's a community!

or

[Windows Phone 7 General] jontatas:
Is there a way to change the background/wallpaper everywhere and not just on the lock screen?

I mean set it to let's say a jpeg instead of black or white?

To restore original icons, any idea ?

@drkfngthdragnlrd

I like your icons, very cool ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
According to the App Dev, there's no way to restore the originals.

The only work around is to find a set of original Icons or make a set of Plain White Icons that look like originals, then you could just place them in \Windows\ named accordingly & use Advanced Config to use those Icons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Diggia:
THX for your reply.

I think to change third party icons only, so i suppose if i remove the apps i changed the icons and then re-install these again, i can restore original icons...probably :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] FlowerPotmen:
Cool stuff Guy's. I have been looking for this thread for ages. Keep up the great work.

[Windows Phone 7 General] FlowerPotmen:
Can you do these in the Glass Effect.

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Here are colossus_r's icons in glass effect. Remember, the icons were made by him & I claim no ownership. All I did was add the glass effect to them as you requested. If you like his work, please donate to HIM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FlowerPotmen:
You guy,s are great. Yes I knew that it was colossus_r's icons.Thats worth a beer to you's Both.

Hope to see a lot more people posting more on this thread.

Yes there are a lot of threads every where, but hope the rest can keep them coming here.

PS Xboxmod is looking for a new icon set for the next version 1.11 of his rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944995

I think this is just up your street?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Updated the Icons in OP, added some more icons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ignatious:
great idea, but how do you all copy the icons to the Windows folder?

Its impossible ..... my Windows folder appears to locked from everything? cannot get anything into it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
Copy the files using WPDM from here
[Windows Phone 7 General] FlowerPotmen:
Fantastic as usual. Can you glass effect

job done

FPM;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Here you go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FlowerPotmen:
That was very quick. You can add to the first post if you want? Maybe use to others with the same XAPs, or Delete them off.

Another fantastic job.

Note to everyone: The above For Glass effect zip file have been taken out from the original xap's. Do not use them unless you have the same xap,s and you know how to transfer them back in to it.

They are not general icon aps, as the file names need to be changed as per post #1. You will have to change these your self to get them to work properly.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Diggia:
Not working in my LG Optimus 7... i follow correctly the tutorial on the first post but Advanced Config don't let me change the icons....
[Windows Phone 7 General] FlowerPotmen:
Did you use the one's from post #55? As these were made for me, as they are the original pic's for inside the xap's. The only way to use them is to re-name them, same as supplied in Post #1. But I have just put them back in my original xaps, as mentioned in my post.

So folks be warned. That zip file was for me. But if you have some of the same xap's of these, then you can use. The Op may delete these off soon.

Also I had problems with the Adv Config, so dropped back to the previous release and works Ok with that one.

FPM
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Replace the file in that post. Renamed all the Icons so they'll work with Advanced Config Tool. If you have problem with that tool, please do not post them here. You won't get any help. Comment on the App's website under comments so the dev will see your problems. Also be as descriptive as you can be. Just saying it don't work doesn't help much to the dev to get it fixed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Diggia:
@FlowerPotmen

I didn't use the icons from post number 55. I'm trying to use some icons i have...

I wrote to shaps but at the moment i didn't receive any reply...

I copy the icons in the \Windows folder of my device, then i launch Advanced Config but the three blank spaces are not clickable... Oo

[Windows Phone 7 General] siggystyle:
Your icons and tiles are quite nice!! :) I had a question on them - Since SO many people have such various apps for their devices (and although you have a solid number of them in your zip file) where might one explore to seek out some other icons and tiles for their apps?? I REALLY like your glass-icons/tiles, so I am hoping to find more individuals that might have posted something similar?? Or maybe your work is too unique?? Forgive me, I am kind of new to the xda forums (meaning actually following specific works, and not just interesting reading) so I am a little unclear on how one goes about asking for this info, or how to find it... Most of my searches lead me to different platforms, or HD2 files running WP7... I have an unlocked (ChevWP7) 7.0.7392 HD7 TMo with TouchXperience and WPDM (I have been following Schaps's work since probably Feb-March, and gotten some great help from him customizing my device, as well as on the xda forums, but usually it is so "step-by-step" str8 forward, that just a bit of forum research will allow me to customize in the ways that I like)... One of the final pieces to my puzzle has been to get my icons and tiles to reflect something original (or at least more original that the stock options) and I really like your taste and ideas for WP7, so I thought you might be able to help point me in the right direction, if not already having an answer?? I have quite a few apps on my device (and games), so it is unlikely that I would find everything I need in one place... :/ But I am more than willing to put forth the time and effort to put it all together from various sources... Thanks in advance for your time, as well as any and all help!! :)

-Siggy
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I set up this thread for others to share their work too. Some have posted theirs, but sadly, not many are working on Icons yet from what I've seen.

Attached is my Glass Icon Template.
[Windows Phone 7 General] siggystyle:
Thank you for the template!! I am a beginner with these things, so I must ask, where might I find some of the icons to try to use your template with?? Is it as easy as just finding the tiles and icons within my own device, or are there images that I must seek out, or even worse, CREATE?? haha Guess there is no time like the present to learn, eh?? After all, I have learned quite a bit since I first got my WP7... Never thought I would have taken it this far, but look forward to further progress... If/when I get things going, I would be happy to post my results here!! If they are worthy, anyway.. haha Thanks again, and if you have any advice on where to obtain the foundations for these images, I would really appreciate the direction (if it is not inappropriate to ask??)..

-Siggy
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
There's a few ways, Google for an image such as a search for "Settings PNG" or Bluetooth PNG". I usually add PNG so you'll find images that are transparent & not have to cut the white background out. Or, you could try DeviantArt.com. Also, finally, there's the Icon/Tiles that already exist on your device if you just want to add the glass effect to them. All icons are located in the applications installation folder, (\Applications\Install\"Application ID"\Install\ where "Application ID" is an Alpha Numeric GUID).
[Windows Phone 7 General] tchitchicruise:
drkfngthdragnlrd look at my Icons Buttons!hehe..
