E200 Custom Icons

[Guest Skunkchild]

Just wanted to say that you seem to be able to use any 32x32 256 color windows icons in the custom icon.exe files. I used ResHacker to replace icons in the recent examples given by DrBlow and Carlos P - good work fellas.

I've now added a homescreen called Stolen Mobile to the download section with my own icons. The image shows the icons found in the attached hicons.exe file.

You can use any icons you want! :wink: Just put 'em in the exe file, and the put the relevant numbers into the xml.

And that reshack is a nifty little tool for taking advantage of this tweak for icons - makes it accessible to everybody, without having to use the SDK and stuff.

Hi

I used ResHack to replace icons in blow's cause I cannot use eVC++. I haven't any problem to put these icons on a curtom homescreen, but I can't use them to customize shortcut files : I need to know each icon's id number and I dunno how :-(

I've seen htm files' icon id in iexplore.exe was -1003, how can I get the icon id I need in my custom exe file ?

thx ;-)

I'm not sure what you mean - the icon references in the xml just point to the icon number shown thru reshacker.

[Guest mon_nom_est_arnaud]

Yes that's what I mean, but how can I get the right number ?

[Guest Skunkchild]

Just edit the references in the homescreen xml. For example in the first shortcut in DrBlow's Cobalt theme the icon is number 3 as shown in reshacker. Refered to as icon="103" in the xml.

Hmm :lol:

Let's start again :D

Maybe I'm off-topic, I don't wanna had custom icons on my homescreen, I want to customize a ".lnk" shortcut file. :wink:
