@tito12

thanks! appreciate it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] biernes_atrece:
by all means, pre.

i also recommended your app on my post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
greatness! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Hm...

I don't agree with you completely.

You can manually change icons in a .lnk file but this isn't very handy, so we need a tool, which makes it more comfortable.

Here some resources:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Many will probably not load large PNGs, but by default search for the embedded ICO. JWMD simply changes the path the Start Menu searches for to cache its own set of "replacement" PNGs that are like a mask over the default ICOs. I'm going to go out on a chance & say that those programs would have to be redesigned to support a cache of PNGs or to directly read the Start Menu cache.

And congratulations on quoting the entire first post & wasting more than half a page of posting.

does not work with wm6.5.x ...when you hit change icon...a dialog comes up but you can not choose files....:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigman1:
I've had no problems using it on multiple builds of 6.5.x. What build number are you having problems on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] depakjan:
i get this error.. when i open the application AddIconToList(string key) - An unknown error occured while loading the icon \windows\officefolder.ink'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] glennordway:
I am having the same problem using v2.6b. I just loaded Arks new 23529 rom. However i didnt have the problem with any of his previous builds. It must be something on the new builds thats hanging it up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] N3V3RM1ND:
me too... same problem in wm6.5.x
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigman1:
23529 had quite a few nagging little bugs. That is why I didn't release it for my platform. You might try a different rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] glennordway:
im not sure about the bugs yet, as i just flashed it last night. However i just used v1.9 and was able to use it to change the icons the old way. I am going to try using v2.5 to see if i get the same result.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigman1:
I built 3 versions of 23529, and my testers and I all noticed the bugs.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
hi guys,

how is it going? It's been a while and got stucked on too much project in our company.

Something new for me? Bugs please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Malva:
Hey Nullstring

first of all cheers for a great app, really useful, thanks a lot for that. i especially liked all the extra functionality!

i do however have a few things i'd like to say/ask, which i invite you to consider :)

problems:

- most the time changing icons and sorting works perfectly. however sometimes (i'd say between 5 and 10% of the cases) an item is bugged and wont behave as expected, for me its been mostly for icon AND sorting when it happened...

the only way i managed to get it working was to backup the folder content, delete the folder itself, create a new one with same name, put the content back inside, then remove its icon, give it back the icon, sort properly and save->soft-reset. i'm not sure it needs each of those steps but you get the picture.

don't know if you are tracking this already, would be nice to have it running more smoothly. i think the bugged items can occur whenever you change something (e.g. move something) in the file system (windows\start menu\*.*).

- this isn't really a problem but it sure can by annoying when doing a very small change to the (possibly long) name of a folder/file: could you, by default, fill the input box when renaming something with the old name? if you get it auto-highlighted as well, it'll be great no matter what one wants to rename it to.

suggestions:

- in the icon browser display the file name of the item for which you are selecting a new icon... sometimes, by the time i see the icons, i forgot which app i pressed after navigating down a long file tree :D

- option to hide an item for good, so it doesn't show up in start menu unless you change it back... maybe "hidden" property plus something else? "hidden" alone doesn't work for absolutely everything, i have one icon that i can't move out of the start menu root, nor hide, nor change its icon no matter what i try. it leads to a menu where i have 1 hotline number i can call...think its the general hotline of my provider.

i am using htc sense at the moment because i just got the hd2 and wanted to try sense out for a while before getting rid of it or switching to a custom rom. saying this because i suspect it might be responsible for some of the odd behaviour.

my rom right now is the out-of-the-store version in switzerland: 1.48.407.1 (71294) GER and it's dated 19th Nov. 2009. i went to htc website and saw there is a 1.66.xxx rom or so but it wouldnt let me download it using my s/n. maybe its just for us version? :/

if you're missing any relevant info please ask :)

thanks again and hope you continue expanding this tool! if you're looking for possible features, i might be able to come up with a few

greets, Malv
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osirisHTC:
Thank you so much for this App.

Move to Top is my only option ? What horrible software M$ makes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
+1 I know. What the heck. That is the exact same thing I thought. "Move to top." Why not, "Move where ever you want it". If you haven't checked out Nullstrings other software- I highly recommend it as well (JSPA Program Manager).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yoshi1982:
Great program, but i have a problem there.

On my homescreen, i have the 4x4 tab installed. If i change some icons, only a few are displayed with the new icon there. Some don´t change!? Why?

For example Opera and the Internet Explorer, they are change in the Start Menu, but not on homescreen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
You could try to make sure that the quicklinks icon cache is cleared...

go to \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher

delete the icons that won't change (I always delete all since they get refreshed upon reboot)

soft-reset

your quicklinks should now show the icon you want!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beababe:
Is there any App like this for 6.1? or does this app work with 6.1? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alkhal:
This worked oh so perfectly... Thank you for the tip.. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
Your welcome.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
1. Great program!

2. I think this was already reported: The settings icons are always showing English names, even on non English systems. (And "Remove Programs" is showing as "Remote Programs").

Also some icons don't show a name. Furthermore there are some icons shown which aren't shown in the start menu.

This all makes it very hard to sort the list. It would be nice if this could be fixed.

3. Isn't the option to create a new folder really useless? There are no options for cutting and pasting shortcuts, so what is this option good for?

-> Please take cutting and pasting shortcuts as a feature request.

4. It would be nice if there would be a option to clean up the registry. Something like removing unused icon settings.

This is possible with SKTools now, but it would be better if this would be integrated here.

5. It would be nice if the picture browser would show the name of the shortcut I'm going to change. It would also be nice if there would be an option to define the default folder in which the browser starts. Or maybe the browser should remember the last used folder.

EDIT: Added point 5...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRXed:
I disagree with point 3, New folder is usefull if you want to group some shortcut links. Copying/Cutting and Pasting can easily be done in Explorer.

But I totally agree with point 5!

It's a bit annoying to choose the folder where you store your icons everytime :p

And I want to add something to point 4: not only clean up the registry, but it would be very nice to also have the option to clean the \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher folder. That will certainly get people to stop asking the same question over and over ("my icon on quicklinks does not change").
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flomitdreio:
i want flash my device, is it possible to save my setting??

i tryed with sktools cab builder, but i cant find the settings in the registry.

Anybody know where i find them???

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alefcuk:
Hi,my problem is that i dont have my youtube , camcorder ,...etc under \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher.Only a few softwares are in the folder. I have successfully changed the some of the quick link icons(those found in that folder) thru this method.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yoshi1982:
I deleted all the files in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher but there is no Google Maps, no Opera.

Don´t know why I cannot change some Icons :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Malva:
and

using that method i always managed to change my quicklink icons, maybe if an app doesn't show up in the folder try (for a program of which you successfully changed the icon in start menu) removing the quicklink and creating it again, and if it hasn't already changed soft reset

i've had some trouble with some start menu items not sorting well or not showing proper icon and removing it and making a new one has worked until now. make sure you know what you need to make the shortcut for before you delete the original ;)

making a backup and pasting it back has in most cases NOT worked for me, so you probably have to create a new one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Meztec:
Just wanted to say thank you Nullstring for your super programme.

It's easy to use and a must have PIMPIN' tool !!

Thank you once again :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likandros:
thanx i was looking for this!great...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightwish2:
Perhaps I have to tell you the hole story for it is clear what I mean.

Ok, it had trouble changing all icons with dinik's anastasia cab file. then I folowed this tip:

"you have to create a theme with iconchanger, after you have to go in the folder programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_nam e" and , with a file explorer,(program like rescoexplorer are better!!) rename the icon of the program was showed uncorrectly in your homescreen quicklink, after go in jwdm iconchanger , holdtap the program icon you want to change, programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_nam e"\"your_icon_you_have_just_renamed" .. afther this reclear the proglauncher folder and all is fine! -- for correct homescreen quicklink softreset is not needed, is needed for start menu only."

I did said and it would work out.. and now the big BUT:

Some of the links in Windows\Startmenu\Programs are organized in subfolders, for instance folder "tools", as in the Startmenu itself. Icon Changer can obviously NOT SEE INTO subfolders, for it does not list those links, even if copied and pasted. Only if copied to Windows\Startmenu\Programs (one directory up) it is recognized, but of course it does too change place in Startmenu itself, so that's not what I want.

Question: Why can't my Icon Changer (latest version 26b) not see the links in subfolders, for I think that this is common in all standard Roms????

And what do I do to be able to change those Icons too..?

Edit: Forgot to mention: Scan unregistered shortcuts does not bring up anything!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nightwish2:
Using other software can help

Using CSMI solved my problem for this one tells you which links are in subfolders... thanks for helping.

Error

Hi!

Firstly thanks alot for this great program :D

Been manually exchanging icons and read that I could download the theme package and it would be easier.

Ran into a problem though, I did try and skim through this thread but didn't see anything like my problem.

I'm having a bit of trouble installing the "theme template" I get an instant error, I have followed the instructions in the FAQ closely, made sure the icons and template file are in the correct folder \program files\Icon change\Themes\dZenkinz

Load up JWMD, pick Theme, locate the file, get a window saying "Please wait while installing your theme", I can then wait and nothing happens, or press ok in the top right corner of the little window, and BAM the error comes out....

It's telling me to install NETCFv35, but I can't install that, tried to use the link from the front page of this thread but when starting to install I get this error" A later version of the .NET Compact Framework is already installed. If you want to install this version, first remove the existing version." So I figured that I didn't want to "degrade" the installation ?

Hope there's something that can be done :D Thanks again for this wonderful program :)

Attaching screenshots of my problem, hoping someone could help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HelderJr:
[EDIT] Found the solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Krawlor:
Glad i'm not the only one:) but I wonder if there's a way to fix it, also, does anyone know if it's possible to make the clock color darker? not the background.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
I just changed roms and I was trying to install some icons, but I cant get them to change now when doing it manually. I loaded a theme I had saved and bam, it loaded all saved icons fine. The first time I tried it, I kept getting some "netcf error" and I just ignored it and went on installing. Only when I restarted did they not change of course. I guess my question is, what would cause the icons not to change at all and matter of fact, go back to default icons that are stored in the system somewhere? And, is there a way to get icon changer to start from scratch persay? Like deleting some reg entries or program files? I already tried a uninstall, reinstall.

edit**Tried the delete the key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start and it stopped hanging on exit at least. But, still cant get icons to change. I'm really puzzled.???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Krawlor:
Hi!

Have you tried to delete all the .bmg files in \application data\htc\proglauncher\ ? You might have to remove ths quick links and add them again before it works:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinned69:
Moving folder content

Excuse me if this might have been asked elsewhere. I've done a quick browse and search on the following but didn't find any answer. I have added a new folder to the "start menu" screen using JWMD, but how do I move icon links into that folder? I have around 100 programs that are medically related and I would like to place them into their own folder on the start menu rather than have so many in the one menu. Is it possible to create subfolders within the "new folder"?

:confused:

If tried searching all the JWMD functions/options but haven't found a way to achieve this. Thanks for a great program none-the-less... it's certainly easier being able to move icons around on the "start menu screen" :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
May I refer you to the other app in Nullstrings signature- JSPA ProgramManager. It does exactly what you are asking for and works like a charm for me (I am running WinMo 6.5- not sure if it matters.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinned69:
Excellent for the info, will give that a shot. Many thanks :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yoshi1982:
It doesn´t work for me, too. Many Icons are changed, but the camera, camcorder, google maps or contacts Icons are still the ugly old ones. That really sucks! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zenkinz:
you can open explorer, and move the shortcut in \windows\start menu\programs one by one to a folder that you newly created. Or use total commander (foudn in tools folder), to select the shortcuts, and mass-move them to the folder.

once you have the shortcuts in the new folder, you can start using CSMI (found in tools folder) to map the icons one by one. What I like about this app over JWND app, is that you can export all your settings to an xml file, and you can re-import it again later. I know JWND app could do it, but it usually had problem during import because it tries to export every icon setting.

if you flash frequently, and therefore moving the 100 shortcuts is going to be a pain, then I suggest you use mortscript to move the shortcut.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mano75:
Hi there.

You'll have to excuse me for being so clumsy, but I just wanted to change the Solitaire icon for another one I've got.

The thing is that....the Solitare.lnk seems that it does not exist for this program. I even searched for unregistered icons...and nothing. I checked it with the explorer and it does exist in my device's windows folder and in Programs\games.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheSKYY:
I also still have the problem that some of the icons are not changed at the quick links, Facebook link has changed, but the google maps and the youtube one is still the old one at the quick links.....

at the Windows Mainmenu it is changed to the new one, so there it works, but not for the quick links. I already deleted all files in the proglauncher folder and did a soft reset, but nothing changed.

Is there anything else I could do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Graz:
Sorry for the noob question...

I'm using a WM6.5.x ROM (Miri's V9.0), and I'm having trouble installing the .NET CF cab. I get a message saying it's already installed, and I end up pretty much stuck there...

Any ideas or advice?

Edit: Please ignore... .NET is already baked into this ROM. Sorry, still feeling my way around this stuff..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crowzer:
I'have installed this programs, changed some icons. After a soft reset, here my today screen:

It prettry bugued.

How to need to fix it ?

- i have the laster official rom by HTC.

- i have removed the conflict shorcuts but the bug is still here

- deleted the icon cache but the bug is still here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Isadora:
Some icons in quicklinks won't change if they have the same name as the ones you're trying to replace. For these you need to rename the new icon and it will work (for instance, I changed CoPilot.png to CoPilot1.png)

Tilt 2 problem

I'm using the AT&T HTC Tilt 2 stock ROM, here is what I experienced. My phone slowed to a crawl then I got the WM 6.5 BSOD saying that there was an error in the OS and that the device would do a hard reset, I was changing the icon order in the start menu and sub folders. I bypassed that screen and the device took forever to load. I did a hard reset and loaded only the Icon Changer and got the same results. Here is the setup I was using CF3.5 on main memory and Icon Changer on storage. I think it is a great program and thank you so much for your development it will work really good. Thanks!

I know this has been said alot of times, but some of my icons is the default one when I add them as quicklink on Sense 2.5. If I go to App data\HTC\Proglauncher the icons I SHOULD delete aren't there, just the one's who show up as they should. What should I do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wolfman017:
Hi,

I am interested in the tip too. I have exactly the same problem : the icons are updated ine the start menu, but many of them are not in the quicklinks.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArtieQ:
I got it working, what I did was to rename the icon (.png) to another name. I had my Opera icon named HTC_Opera.png and it just showed the default one when I added it as quicklink. But then I renamed it to HTC_Opera 10.png and it shows up perfectly now :)
