Quicklinks on start page ? - HD2 General

Hy everyone .
Until now the only way that I found to increase the quicklinks on the start menu was this tweak from Leo hints & Tips :
"22. Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots
Amazing tweak. Now have a 4 x 4 grid of quicklinks instead of a 3 x 3 grid. Install cab at bottom of post and reset. Please note you can only use the default black weather wallpaper when using the cab and also contacts photos will not show. If you will only use your quicklinks for apps and don't mind the black wallpaper, go ahead."
But wandering round on this forum I've seen new Sense themes with 4 quicklinks and with a background how did they do that ???

Cube Icons Download thread

Here's a threat JUST for Cube Icons so we dont have to go searching threw 50 pages to find icons.
If possible submit all file formats so we dont have to do any modifications. Png's, Bmp's and Brn's... whatever we need
Also, if possible ,so people like myself who suck at photoshop dont have to dink around and what not to have a horrible looking icon, maybe try and make it so all 3 cube colour background options are included (bottom middle and top) as well even going as far as making the media cube side icons to replace Music, Photos and Videos. In the new settings modification program its looking like we'll be able to modify the mediahub side shortly too very easily instead of having to go into the \windows and altering it from there.
Having all these icon spaces covered will just ensure that we have the option of placing them anywhere on the cube.
Add any icons you might have so we have all the files in one thread. Even if they dont cover all the icon spaces.
Carlosp's Touch Settings Program
If you do want to customize your cube please go to Carlos' "Touch Settings" Thread and download the program he's been working on. He has a new beta version available right now that makes it really easy to not only customize the icons on both your ApLauncher and MediaHub panels of the Cube but also now can change the animation as well so you no longer have the default icons showing up anymore when the cube spins.
Go here for the beta testing program:

OR go right to here to download the latest "actual" release of the progam (which doesnt change your animations):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
If anyone has any requests to make for icons please dont hesitate to ask and I'm sure someone can get on making one. They dont take too long to make so please lets get a really good archive of icons going for the Touch!
Here's a quick referance list of where to find the icons that have so far been uploaded to this thread. Most Icons are only made for the ApLauncher Panel so far unless otherwise stated in the title. Should you require the icons that you like for the MediaHub Panel as well just contact the person who posted it and request it.

Download the Zip file below for the ApLauncher blank Icon set as well as the MediaHub Icon set to make your own. Remeber to post them for everyone to use.
Also, in order to convert your BMP files to BRN files so those of us with the CDMA version of the Touch you will need the BrnConvert.exe program. Very easy to use just drop your BMP file in and it converts it for you. Then package everything up in a Zip or Rar file and you are good to post!
You might want to attach a jpg with each file...
so people know whether it's worth downloading or not.
I'm curious though, why have BMPs and BRNs as well? The cube icons are all PNGs. You'd only need BNRs for the other face of the cube (Pictures, Videos and Music)

I've got a Telus branded Canadian CDMA HTC touch and wasn't able to load on normal PNG's for the icons. When I would the space would just be vacant of any icon all together and show a black space. The icons, even the ones on the application launcher side of the cube had to be in the BRN format. In order to convert the files to BRN they had to be in BMP format first which is why those are there as well. You wouldnt happen to have the blank grey backgrounds so people like myself can try and make our owns would you? I assume you had blanks in order to make the tomtom and Navigon GPS icons for us
Sure,
here you go:
Brilliant. This should help alot of people. Thank you! Do you have the Media Hub backgrounds as well?
Here are the blanks and the one that I've designed for my Touch
In case anyone wants to use them:
You got some nice media icons there, only the video one seems to have the wrong background, appears to be to light.
Quite right!
Re-posted...
Just being trying those media icons, but you don't have the blank for the main screen, so as mine revolves it shows the original icons.

I just reopend the files as BMP's and resaved them as PNG files. Try redownloading the tomtom files and load them onto your phone. If that doesnt work maybe try opening the BMP's yourself and save those as PNG's... Also is it possible that your cube requires the files to be in BRN format? I tried a number of different icons before I realized that I needed BRN files. When I would load the png files on I would just get an empty black space where the icon was supposed to be.

Help - Themes - icons

I’ve been looking round the forum – see people posting a pic of their themes. With different icons and backgrounds throughout the UI.
I tried to install one of the .cabs – It changed the top icons (start, reception etc).. Also changed the background for windows except the home scene (presume you set the home screen manually).
It didn’t however change the bottom icons – anyone know what i’m doing wrong? Do i have to do something extra to change the icons?
You most likely have to install sdkcert.cab, have a look in some of the icon topics mostly you'll find a link in the startpost.

Quicklinks Mod = No Weather

Hi all,
I made the Quicklinks mod to increase the number from 9 to 16, but now my phone is stuck on the animated wallpaper (instead of the preferred black one) and no extended weather background animations.
I can change between animated wallpapers, but not to a static one.
Does anyone have any advice to change this back at all?
Many thanks,
Daniel.
Re-installed & fixed.

how to remove quick links homescreen??

Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could completely remove the Quick Links "Shortcuts" from the homescreen of HTC Sense. The Program icons it shows are very ugly and not optimized for the big size.
one easy would be to instal cookies home tabs along with cht editor.
this allows you change how many quicklinks you want (up to 75 in total I think) or alternatively leave them blank and use cht editor to "hide empty quicklinks"

CoOkie's Home Tab Editor is what you need as samsamuel posted, in combination with CHT Editor, you can make the large ugly Quick Links into 4 or 5 much smaller links, or hide them altogether.
I have attached a couple of pics for you to see how it looks.
The programe link is here, johncmolyneux's CHTEditor link is also in that post. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
