Very nice found!

Works pretty nice for a alpha release...

Twols: Awesome Icons! Hope you'll make some more for all the usual WM6.5 stuff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ergiovi:
thanks mushipkw for your god work...and twolf for your fantastic icons....my samsung i780 have a great menu now...:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
awesome stuff mushi. no more flashing roms just to get the pretty icons:D thanks for icons too twolf! and is it just me, but when icons are put into folders, say i move album into multimedia, i loose the actual icon. it reverts to the old style icon. not necessarily related to the app. i think just 6.5 in general. although, if i copy the icon back into the folder from start menu, it will get the new style icon to display. just weird i thought:)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mushipkw:
Ok guys here's a preview.

Now u can change the icons inside the folders as well.

Im still working on it. I'll finish it asap.

Twolf has even designed the icon.

Thanks a lot Twolf.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brins0:
Looking at this, i'm gonna cease development of mine...

Wonderful looking clean application. If it works as well as it looks good, then it'll be awesome!

Keep up the awesome work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anwei40:
In \Windows\StartMenu_Gridscene_240x320.cpr (and 320_240.cpr, or whichever files correspond to your device's display resolution), the 4th line begins "Image ID" and contains the location of the selection highlighting graphic: "Source=.\StartMenu_Selection.png" (or whatever yours is called).

Replace that term with whatever .png file you want to highlight the selected choice - perhaps that rectangle will be posted, or you can make whatever you want...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Looks really nice, is there still no way to arrange that folders are on top and that the programs are arranged alphabetically?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PREMOLIKES:
@anwei

Thanks a lot, I can change the png , but the thing is that the background png is too large .I think i need a bit transparent image

Testing it right now, thanks... ^_^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 151jcolon:
the app is awesome but, the (apply) dont work in my sprint touch. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Working fine on the Nike. :)

The "APPLY" button may lead to some confusion, because he only applies the new icons after a soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fredcatsmommy:
Any chance of adding the function to change the order of the start menu items? I've not been able to figure out how to do that in the registry. The "order" item in the registry is very different than it was in wm6.1. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 151jcolon:
ok, thanks twolf, :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Small bug...

For some reason hComber is not "hCombable", hehehe...

Also, some shortcuts dont appear on hComber's list, like this Softreset, for example.

Here are two more icons for some apps I recently did and the good quality icon for hComber.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gmarcoux:
Hey Twolf,

I know you said you don't intend to create more icons for the start menu but i am really liking the Icons you are creating. I know I would be willing to donate towards more.. if others would be too let your support be known..

You do very good work Twolf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thank you, but I dont work with donations. Paypal doesnt like me so I dont like him too. ;)

I'll consider making a full theme when its easy to load icon themes.

In the meanwhile... Finally was able to update the hComber icon, after a hard-reset (I didnt do it because the icon, of course :D)

Noticed some bugs:

- Some icons are mistaken as folders, for some reason.

- Other icons appear on the wrong folder listing.

- Others simply wont appear.

- To change the icons inside folder (or the folder icon itself) you need to save (pressing APPLY) before you enter that folder, if not it wont save your latest changes.

Other than that, all is working ok, as you can see:

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radospol:
Excellent work!

How to give back to standard icon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Stylez Ray.:
Nice twolf. BTW, where can I get that nice theme you're using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
I think that if tell him to go to a temporary png file, delete it and restart, it will go back to the default. :/

Its just a wallpaper:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Stylez Ray.:
O don't mean the wallpaper. I like the look of the select icon on your "today" icon. That square, I think it must be part of the theme.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Oh... thats on the previous page of this thread... its not part of a theme.

no offense mushipkw,

but his program does what yours does,

and allows you to reorder the icons also.

Just replace the files on your Windows folder with the attached zip files.

how can I change those icons in the kitchen so they will be available in the ROM?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] METALWORKS™:
you said it's 45x45, but actually it's 90x90, can you tell me what the different..? and what's the actual size for menu icons..?

if i want to you it, do i have to resize it to 45x45..?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
My bad, its 90x90 indeed, I did them in 45x45 first but then I remenbered the VGA screens, so I exported them bigger.

But it makes no difference, the wm6.5 system is a very good auto-resizer. :)

NDrive issue

Thanks twolf for your help, but thought that when modifying the font size of the start menu went to solve my problem, but no, that is the following one: In the ROM of the NRGZ28, that by chance is fantastic, the NDrive it is with the font size very small, what it modifies until the map, therefore is also smaller.

You have some idea of what it will be the cause of this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Sorry, never used Ndrive (nothing against it, I hear its the best) I use Igo Amigo.

Fixes / Solutions / Notes:

0) SEARCH THE THREAD BEFORE ASKING!

1) this app only works on Windows Mobile 6.5

2) if you're using Manila 2.5, delete all the *.bmg files under /application data/htc/proglauncher/, then softreset. Manila should then pick up all the changes made by hcomber. I had the problem of googlemaps icon not changing until I did this. Might also apply to Manila 2.1 / 2.0, not sure.

3) You must press Apply every single time you update an icon while in hComber if you want to be sure it's made the change properly

4) SOFT RESET to see the changes

5) You MAY NOT see the change if you are NOT using the WM6.5 Standard Start Menu!

6) ONLY files with PNG extension may be used as icon replacements.

7) You can check whether it was applied correctly by loading up the Windows Registry and navigating to HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start Key... that contains the entire start menu structure. If an app's icon "refuses" to be replaced, make sure you're not just editing a redundant registry entry with hComber. You can check that by ensuring that each reg entry underneath "Start" is matched by a Start Menu shortcut of the SAME name underneath the SAME corresponding location, eg. if "Opera" shortcut is located under "Connectivity" folder, then in the registry there should be a "Opera.lnk" under HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start/Connectivity/...

Known Bug

When applying icons to folders, hComber seems to sometimes "copy" the icon path of the last folder listed and apply it to the one immediately above it, without warning. Only way to "fix" this is to watch out when this issue occurs and re-apply icon again....

Otherwise, nice app! Now it just needs to be more user friendly... :p

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frko:
Link for PIMBackup not shown.

Whenever i install PIMBackup 2.8 from a link in this forum. It doesn't display in hComber so i cannot change the image. Can this be investigated?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lanfriki:
If you want change the icon of a folder double click. Next double click on "Customize Folder" chose a png as icon and then click apply.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
hComber populates the list from the registry, not from the Start Menu folder.

Therefore you may not see everything that is clickable from the Start Menu if it hasn't got an entry in the registry.

I don't know if there is an answer to this with hComber, but this is why I reverted back to using reStart.

I'm also having a problem with a custom wm 6.5 ROM 23064. The program installs fine but I can only see and change icons to the programs that where already cooked in the ROM.

I'm having a few problems with hComber also.

I can make the changes to the folder icons, however the changes don't stick. Anyone got any ideas?

i found that by creating an "icon" folder in your mem card then creating sub folder - "entertainment" "windows icons" "folders" "apps" then placing the icons in their respective folders you can find them quicker as it doesnt have to load hundreads of icons jsut a handful.

I get youtube prob too, dunno how to stop this? i just go back in and change back to what should be. great program. is there a way to back up my changesthough? so i can just install a new rom and my icons are as i want them?

Nice app.

Just some questions and issues that i have observed.. I am trying it on the HD2/LEO. Windows 6.5 with S2U2 using iReflect icons

1. Some of the icons dont stick1

I changed the skin on for eg.. One Note Mobile.. it appears as changed in the start menu but in the quick links it is still the same.. reset it a couple opf time and still the same problem,

2. The Youtube problem as highlighted by some of the folks here..

How do we revert back to the original icons? I cant seem to find it

3. For the S2U2 sub folder, when i used the app, and to chnage the icon in the sub folder, there is nothing there even though it has 3 icons in there..ilock2, s2u2 settings and the s2u2

Anyone can help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dtjohnst:
Ditto. It changed my GPS folder icon, and I can't for the life of me find the default one. Anyone know where I can download it (or what it's called/where it's located)? I'd even be happy with the entire default set of icons so I could shove them somewhere less bloated than the "Windows" folder which takes forever to load and scroll through...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bak-er:
works on hd2 But will have to take it of tho because it wont change some icons (ie torch app/Task manager/file explorer)and it just looks weird hope i wont have to do hard reset.maybe this has someting to do with the cookies home tab i am using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Greate application. Work fine in Samsung Omnia II (i8000) (original ROM).

It would be greate if:

1.- No softreset needed to see new Icons (folders and links)

2.- Use of SenseSDK (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648906) to improve finger friendly interface

3.- Link information: not only showing the icon, but also to where is linking

I notice in my omnia that you application shows more things that I see on screen or file explorer. Thats why point 3 will be greate.

Ones againg, greate application, looking foward to see next release.
