Icon sets available for homescreen use?

[Guest pwhooftman2]

Hi, this may be obvious, but i'm a bit lost. I want to use the Smartmonitor plugin for battery status, memory status etc, but i want to use bars a bit nicer than the deafult ones. So i thought i use a battry icon like in BatterPackPro (like the one on the first screenshot at http://www.omegaone.com/batterypack/sp/default.htm)

But where do i find such icons? I know i can retrieve icons from .exe and .dll files, but for instance i cannot find the shown battery icon of BatteryPackPro.

Are there any Smartphone specific icon sets available on the net?

TIA.

Hi...I'm using SmartMonitor on my homescreen but modified to fit my needs.

Attached the screenshoot for your reference.

I copied the icons from a Porsche homescreen background & superimposed it on my WindowsVistaDesktop homescreen. Then I generated a background for the SmartMonitor plugin with the icons over background where it sits.

Seems abit primitive but I have limited tools & appears that my background transparency is not working properly so the workaround.

The Desktop.home.xml file is the one I'm using.

You can download the WindowsVistaDesktop theme at:

NB: You also need to install the rjShortcut plugin

Also, please note that I modified the DesktopIcons.exe icon to reflect the Windows Close button for the Oxios Closeapp application that I installed in my SM2003. Check the Desktop.home.xml file for the exact location of the application or modify it to suit your app or path of choice.

You can download the Oxios Closeapp at:

Hope it helps!
