External LCD & /Windows/icons.bmp

[Guest orcinus]

Again, sorry if this was discussed before. I'm new here and so far haven't found anything on the subject using forum's search facility.

That said, it seems that file "icons.bmp" in Windows directory contains all the icons and graphics for the MPX's external LCD. However, simply replacing the file with a customized version was to no avail - the one on the phone gets successifuly overwritten, but reverts to the original version upon next reboot. My best guess is it's contained in the non-volatile ROM and just gets copied over in the user-accessible partition on boot.

I tried searching through the registry for the filename, but found no mention of it. Any ideas anyone?

PS: I'm NOT, and i repeat once again NOT! talking about external LCD logo here! I'm talking about the bitmap containing the icons, glyphs and analog clock/date graphics.

I've not seen any way to changealter the clock in the registry to point it to a new location, the only change is the

Image when the flip is in it's open position

Anything you place in the main Windows folder will be lost as

this gets re-written on every startup.

(this feature is lost in the 2003 German version :D)

It is? It doesn't even work if you add the relevant key entry yourself? :/

I'll have to try that out (haven't yet on 2003)...

Anywho, concerning the icons.bmp - thanx for confirming my findings. I was really hoping i could skin the external LCD, but the way things look like now, it's not possible without hacking/tampering with the ROM image.

If anyone finds anything, give a yell! :P
