Changed icon shortcut

[Guest Billou]

Hello,

How can I change the icone of my Shortcut in WM ?

Thanks you :lol:

Normally the shortcut (*.lnk file) will get the icon of whatever program it links to.

Some shells (like SPB mobile shell) will allow you to assign a different icon from an installed set of images.

If you want even more control, that's possible too, but needs a bit of work:

1a. Use a text editor for Windows Mobile to open the *.lnk file

1b. If 1a doesn't work for you, copy the*.lnk file to your computer and open it with notepad

It will look like:

29#"\path\to\program-to-run.exe"

2. Change that line to:

60#"\path\to\program-to-run.exe"?\path\to\program-with-icon.exe,-101

where:

60 = number of characters after the # sign, including spaces, upto the comma

program-with-icon.exe = the resource where the icon is coming from, can also be a .dll file

-101 = the index of the icon within the resource file. Use a program like Rviewer (Google for it) to find the index for your icon

3a. save file

3b. save file and copy back to mobile device.

Goodluck!

Thanks

when i open my exe ( tomtom ) , I clic next, the program stop in 302

I click OK on top

I open my .lnk with a editor, I change :

112#"\my storage\program files\GPS\TomTom\tomtom.mscr"?\my storage\program files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,-302

But, icon not change :lol:

Strange..

The example I gave was actually for my own TomTom script, just like you're trying to do. Try it with the -101 value, maybe that works..

[Guest Juicey]

Oh, and seems I made a mistake in the first post, I've updated that now.

The first number indicates the total amount of characters including spaces, after the # sign, and upto the comma

So yours should probably be

107#"\my storage\program files\GPS\TomTom\tomtom.mscr"?\my storage\program files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,-101

Don't know if that make any difference...

It's great :D Thanks you very much :lol:

[Guest Juicey]

You're welcome!

I guess we're both still hoping that TomTom releases an Omnia version that works without scripts, port splitters etc... :lol:
