How do you make SPB icons - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I am using VJDialer (Thanks vijay555) with cLaunch and i want to make some icons so i can use Pocket Plus to launch the dialer nd get rid of cLaunch.
cLaunch allows you to create icons from pictures. How do i go about making the same for SPB. For instance the pic i have below
Cheers

There are 66 different icons in Pocket Plus. To change icon tap and hold it and select Change Icon from pop-up menu. You can also add you own icon to the list. Find "custom16.png" and "custom32.png" in "\Program Files\PocketPlus\Icons" folder on your device. Copy these files to your desktop. Now you can edit these files with any image editor. To add new icon you should create two similar icons of size 16x16 and 32x32 pixels. Add 16x16 icon to the end of the "custom16.png", and add 32x32 icon to the end of the "custom32.png". Make sure that after editing "custom16.png" has height 16 pixels and its width can be divided to 16. Check the same with the "custom32.png" image - its height should be 32 pixels and width can be divided to 32. Copy these files back to "\Program Files\PocketPlus\Icons" folder on your device and perform a soft reset. Now your icon is added to the list and you can use it.

Xilicon, that's a very nice tip there. The built-in icons are OK when using them for apps etc. but when using them with VJDialer and VJSMS you would need different icons for different ppl. There's no point putting a laptop icon for a shortcut that calls my wife!
I'll try this image editing thing tip now ...

kta - I hope the icon is meant to be a phone, not a laptop! I ripped it from XP!
Check this thread for some discussion on how to create the icons:
http://www.modaco.com/Today_Screen_Hacks-t227321.html
and for WAD etc
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=58236
Basically, to get a cute picture of the wife etc, load a nice photo of her up into an art program, eg paint shop pro.
"Crop" the image as closely as possible to her face: this is going to be reduced to 32x32, so make it recognisable.
"Reduce" the image to 32x32.
Now I would reduce the colour to 256, but that's up to you.
In claunch, you can load the bmps directly; you can make icons using an icon editor, eg Microangelo. On the version I've got, basically, just start a 32x32 XP Colour icon, copy and paste directly from your art prog into Microangelo, and then if you want to, reduce the colours.
Save the .ico and use at will.
Again, for my own nausea, I decided to make a dll full of icons to keep all my images in one file. This can be done with microangelo librarian or Visual Studio if you're really hard core.
For Pocket Plus, just use the png format instead of bmp or ico.
BTW new versions of VJSMS etc coming in the next day or so

I meant the default icons of SPB Pocket Plus not your telephone icon ;-) So what's new in your VJSMS?
OK I've tried the SPB Pocket Plus trick but it seems that it's only allowing 1 extra icon (totalling 67). Anyone managed to create more than just one extra icon?
EDIT: You need to close SPB Pocket Plus and reload before the icons appear in the list!

VJSMS is the same, just a new brother and sister and minor improvements!

cLaunch mods for large icons (CAB and source included)

cLaunch is GREAT, but unfortunately it doesn't handle icons larger than 32x32 pixels all that well. I wanted to create a bunch of big 48px photo shortcuts (32 was just too small!). However, even with a 48px bitmap, cLaunch just crops to 32px and scales up to 48px. Results are not what I wanted, and ugly.
So I created a hacked up version of cLaunch (based on version 12.04, 11 Jan 2008) and I called it cLaunch_48px. It works just like the normal cLaunch does... The only difference is apparent if...
you set the icon size to 48 AND
have a 48px bitmap file as the icon
...it WILL show the entire 48px bitmap, without distortion. Your icon size should be set to exactly 48px in cLaunch, otherwise you will see the regular cLaunch behavior. Note: You can still use any size icons you want, you'll just get the default behavior. For example, I have one tab with 32px icons and another with 48px.
To use: download the CAB and install as normal. It can even coexist with an existing cLaunch installation. This version will share settings with any existing cLaunch installation so you won't need to do anything special to import. You do not need to remove your existing cLaunch, if you have it installed already. Use at your own risk so backup your \Windows\cLaunch.dat file just to be safe.
To hack--experts only: Source code included as zip (project/solution file is VStudio 2008). The only file changed from the original is main.cpp, included in zip (other than vstudio project files). FYI: If you want, you could create an even bigger version (such as 64px) modeled after this version (diff main.cpp with the original cLaunch 12.04 version)... I didn't do that here for two reasons (1) I didn't want 64px icons and (2) supporting both 48px AND 64px icons would use up too much memory.
If I get a chance sometime, I might actually provide a screenshot, but it won't look much different than a typical cLaunch screenshot, expect for nice and clear 48px icons.
Works great with go2contact (created by me).
Also, SUPER THANKS to the creators of cLaunch!

Great Idea. I like claunch because of its small siZe, but I don't use it because of the small Icons. Tried the prog and it doesn't work. Icons remain at 32 even after I resized them. I can tell they are larger because it only shows a portion of it. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?
Got IT
OOPs figured it out. Works Great. Thanks

Hi craig,
good job. Would you by any chance have an idea why claunch 1204 would show only a quarter of the icons (and what's worse, only a quarter of the setup menus) on VGA (x51v)?
Do you think there's anything to be done about it? I like claunch 1203 but there the icons are shown with pixel doubling and therefor very coarse.
cheers

Don't know much about 12.03 and what changed with 12.04. However, with 12.04, from what I could tell by the code: it's best to use 16 and/or 32 px icons/bitmaps (or 48 if you're running cLaunch_48px) and show them at their native size. Otherwise, scaling/cropping will occur.
craig,
I am only using this for shortcuts to regular apps with their own built-in icons. I suppose they are 32*32.
When I set the icon size to 16*16, i see the icon in normal resolution but only the upper left quarter of it.
When I set the icon size to 32*32 I still see only a quarter, but now with pixel doubling, instead of the whole icon in normal resolution. When I set the icon size to 64*64 I see the entire icon, with pixel doubling, but distorted at the bottom.
Also, the upper left corner of the icons is shown in the setup screen, and of the settings and options dialog (and ONLY those), only the upper left corner is shown (this makes it impossible to configure the settings, but I can still do that through claunch 1203 which I have installed also.
can you see anything VGA-related in the code?
Kuifje
I have installed the CAB file but when I go to change the icon size to 48, the icons appears tiled on my today screen. The icons are 32*32 and tiled in the allowed 48 icon size. Do I need to make changes to additional settings??
Hi,
I have a freshly purchased Ipaq 214, and i use to use Claunch on my Asus620.
the Ipaq is VGA, and i have same behaviour you mention, ie can only see quater of the configuration menu... which does not really allow to tweak the interface, and finally makes it unusable!
not to be too particular, but 48 point is too large. can you hackup another version that accept 36-40 pixel? thank you so much if you could.
cLaunch Settings
I am a little slow on how these things work outside of loading them and adjusting the settings so this could be me being dense, but I am hoping someone can help.
I just went from a Touch to a Touch Pro and when I loaded cLaunch it is tiny on the screen. When I go into the settings the left side of the screen has some info, and on the right some of the tabs are there but cut off, and I can't get to the other ones.
I have tried the version above as well as 12.03 (which says it is not a valid pocket pc app and can't be loaded) and 12.04. I have loaded cLaunch.dat into the windows folder and see my shortcuts on the screen but they are very, very small.
Is this a setting I need to change? I have been through all the settings I can think of. I love this app and would appreciate any help anyone can give me to make this work.

I'm having this same issue with a few of my old apps (Skyfire, Music ID, Claunch) I'm bummed Can anyone offer a tweak or solution?

Omnia qvga it does not work
It looks nice, but when I set the setting for icons to 48 icons are tiled. It does not show the full 48x48 icon when set to smaller size. I have not the tools to do it myself. Thanks for any help.

Hello
I'm new on this forum and would like to confirm exactly the same problems on my HTC Touch HD.
I've been using this software for years on my old MIO, but I must now move to another soft for my HTC.
Like other people in this thread, I really would like to come back to Claunch.
Any chance to get it upgraded ?
Many thanks for that wonderfull software.
I would like to have Claunch size 64
Hi,
I am very happy with Claunch size 48, but it would be better en size 64 : the friend of my mother had an AVC and he can't speak.
I put pics and shortcut to .mp3 : when he clic on one pic, the pocket PC read a little sentence.
He can use it in size 48, but it would be easier in size 64.
Many thanks for that wonderfull software.
Excuse my bad english, I am french....
Chantal
vga screen
it doesn't work with vga screen .. ie v900
it would be kind if it was possible to make it working for vga screen
many thanks
plus 1 on this if anyone can make a higher res icon version for wvga
would like to try this on the HD2 but icons are only a quater size with this version.
Can you get exe instead of today's plug in?
What i mean can we also jave claunch.exe which can be excuted from PPC as stand alon application instaed of today's plugin

Easy Icon Customizing

I found this great program online a few days ago thats very good for (especially for noobys) at allowing you to customize icons right on your ppc. Ive tried it extensivley with .png icons that is use for my iFonz screen. All you need to do is copy and paste the icon you want to customize into My Documents/My Pictures, and bring up the PaintApp. You can zoom in to single block view which in my opinion makes customizing extremely easy. It also has a feature which alows you to resize your icons simply by entering in the size desired. If your creative enough, choose your size, and make one from scratch. This program is also just fun to use. Below is the .cab file for the program. This is great for people who have no experience making icons.
Tip, use something simple like a blank calendar or calculator icon as your base if you want to make a completley new icon. It makes it easier to know the outline of what you want.
Hope you enjoy this. I do.
it looks great
thank you so much for bringing this nice prog here
cheers

Could you go into detail on what you do to customize your icons? I use iFonz also and I would Love to fix my own iPhone icons to work with iFonz...
Details
Here's some details like you asked for in the second reply. Im just going to tell you what I use it for. First, to make changes to an icon, copy it to My Pictures located in My Documents. That's the only folder it reads. When you install the app the first time you run it, it will give you an option 4 a tutorial mode. Do it. Anyway.. Once you bring up whatever icon you chose, you have all sorts of options. You can change the color , the size, everything . Then save it. Go bak and copy/paste it back 2 the original folder or wherever you want and there you go. Also , my favorite, you can create your own icon from scratch. Just select the option to create a new file or image, whatever its called. Then choose the option to chae the size. Set it to whatever size you want, 44x44 , 42x42, and have at it. Just mess around and you'll figure out how to make them rounded like the default icons. Now here's a tip to make this easier. If you want to make you own custom icon, copy and paste a realy simple, almost blank default icon, like the calendar icon or the stock lines icon to My Pictures. open it up in the program. use your zoom feature too zoom in pretty close. Select the paintbrush, use white and erase everything inside the icon except the Main outline. This way you have a border to go by and keep it the same shape and size. That's what I do and it works great. Another great feature is being able to cut and paste images from one to another. Just take any image, ( I used a Yahoo! image from the web) , save it to My Pictures , and open it in the program. Change the size to 1 less or the same as the icons your using. Then select the cut option , outline the image the select the 'cut to clipboard' option. Next choose the open option, (dont save chaes when it asks), open the icon you want to use as an outline, or whatever icon you want to put the image on. Paste the image to the icon and then zoom in and use your tools to touch it up. I've made google,yahoo msn, hundred icons that look great! Its really simple. You've just got to play around. Its just a paint app like on you desktop, on your ppc! Its zoom feature just makes it so easy to work on icons. Im posting this from my vogue, so sorry if spelling and puctuation aren't perfect. Ill post some of my icons tomorrow for u to check out. hope you enjoy. and post any icons you come up with guys!
Thanks! ima give it a try =)

MACrosoft Mobile 6.1

Made a skin for the hybrid (dual OS) user. For fun only.
Things used: WA3, HTC home, skins and icons from different authors, some new skinning knowledge. I dont have softkeys visible at the bottom (I use only the hard buttons) so I get more screen space. The black one below is my replacement for the green 6.1 screen.
Having Schap's Advanced Config and KaiserTweak helps in addition to the above programs user menus, and Wisbar skins by Juni are sweet. I personally photoshopped the magnifying glass in the bottom left for the popups for the new tasks, as well as the "A" for apps, and moved the settings from another HTC home customizer icon set. dThis is a fast layout that is really simple looking but everything is accessible by hardbutton maps and touchscreen UI.
I was going to call it something playing off the Parallels idea, but the Titan doesn't have enough ram to make that believable
I will give you the skins and icon folders if you like any of this.

Maybe if some people want it, I will post links to the programs and the skin files I made but I would like to learn how to skin mortplayer a bit better. I have to put together the slices so I can skin it with the same background (notice it is a mix of the default desktop backgrounds for the two OS).
dude i want it
Here is what you will need. You will need the following:
Wisbar Advanced: This is where you will use the skin from inside Macrosoft WA toolbar.zip. Install skin file while in wisbar then make sure the windows/apple icon is there in the folder. If not overwrite with the one from the archive.
HTC Home and HHC Customizer 1.0: First you will need to load the most current HTC Home and then open HHC Customizer. Download the following skins: 1. Background = Transparent 2. Clock = Segoe shaded transparent 3. Mac Leopard. I turned off weather and music. You can do what you want. You will need to put those icons in the HTC Home folder into the one on the phone in the HTC Home folder.
Macrosoft background can be opened in pictures and videos to set as background with 0% transparency.
You will need to overwrite the welcomehead.96.png file. Cut from this archive and paste to \Windows.
Next, run the macrosoft.cab for a replacement background on the phone skin.
Lastly, you will need mortplayer and then unzip vista.zip and extract vista.mpz to mortplayer's folder in \Program Files\Mortplayer then select that from the menu.
That's it. Let me know if you have problems or if I forget something.

slidding program launcher using throttle launcher?

I was wondering if someone is willing to help with this?! ( I don't know if there's a similar software)
I edited the config file of throttle launcher and basically deleted everything and only kept the lower slider setup. I put links to my own softwares and also links to the icons I wanted ==> what I got is a COOL software launcher that I can use as a today pluggin!
See pic I attached (I drew in the red/yellow box => that's the icon that shows up when sliding on the lower menu, but for some reason i can't capture it when taking a screen shot)
What I'm having problem with is:
- having it show up in ultimatelaunch
- the height must be at least around 150pixels for the icon that pops up above the menu to show (150 pixels is a lot of space)
- can I get the background transparent?
I hope that APBilbo don't mind this...
this actually is a good idea...
about the transparency: have u tried editing the png images and make them transparent, using a prog like GIMP? or maybe it doesn't work that way.

Why I will mind ?
In fact throttlelauncher started just beeing a program launcher app with photocontacts posibility.
Ok, lets go with your problems.
- About the transparency, you have to set transparency = true param on the skin.xml file your row or setup is using.
- To make it work inside UL, seems like UL doesn't act exactly like the today screen while embeding today plugins. After starting UL with Throttle embeded you have to manualy start the app "ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe" located on the throttlelauncher folder instalation. It should work .
If you're also interested, there's a only photo dialer setup at my forum to achieve the same that you have with programs with photocontacts . In fact, you can mix them having programs first on the ribbon and after some of your contacts .
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23
Also if you don't want the icon preview showing, you can try using the scrollingmodes "Paged" or "Kinetic".
Hope this helps...

Skins for vito Winterface

Hello
Anybody knows how to make vito winterface skins?
It has this file "dafault.skin" (on default.zip) but i cannot edit it.
And if I change the icons from this file "icons.bmp" when I load winterface all the icons where wrong.
Anybody wants to help me?
thank you very much.
If you search a few months back in the forums, someone actually was able to skin a whole new icon set, but at the expense of knocking the contact pictures out of whack.
Just search "Winterface". Shouldn't be too hard to find.
Did you find anything?

Figured it. Will work on a skin in the next couple of days and post.
OK, skins for Winterface start here
Save as Windows Bitmap, 24bit colour depth, RGB colour profile and in the format R5,G6,B5 (available in Photoshop Advanced Options when you save as Bitmap).
Saving Alpha channel makes no difference that I can see.
You'll need to keep the original contact image as it matches the one in the "black.bmp" file and ensures the contact pictures show correctly once you've selected a single contact to dial.
Icons need to fit 42px x 42px squares on the grid
Hope that helps.

Into the "bin" folder. Backup your others first in case you want to revert to the original
thanks dave! and thanks for the icons. Is there anyway to change the black background? maybe like a wallpaper?
Not that I can see
Will have a look and try to do something, doubtful though as it's solid black it's probably hard-wired into the app.
any other icon sets? or themes? or backgrounds yet?

I've looked to see where (if) the background files can be changed.
I'm currently working on changing the weather icons using the same principles as stated above. Looking pretty sweet so far.
EDIT: I'm also taking a crack at an icon theme. Here's a screenshot. Also, notice the icon for weather.
^ this is excellent, please keep up the good work on that one
this might just make me go back to Winterface
PS- has anyone managed to skin Fun Contact and SMS Chat yet? getting bored with the original look, they need polished up.

THX a lot for that!
But with the new version of winterface, 1.2, there are some bugs...
ex: task manager make winterface crashes... and the phone shortcut doesn't work...
Yeah. I'm having the same prob, BUT, only with certain icon sets. Very strange. Also, if you add a contact and then click on the contact, their picture doesn't not appear. Although, that may have been my own fault. Still, it was nice to have a glimmer of hope for this app.

1: I've now tried to install the Realize skin. I followed your intsructions in Photoshop, but the icons don't look crisp, as your attached images, and they have purple edges. Why?
2: How can I get wi-fi indicators (as on bluetoth - so I can see whether wi-fi is switched on or off - the same place but the icon changes)?
3: What about icons not determined by Winterface? For example; Applications I buy or other original icons. Can I replace the files in the Windows folder?
4: Off the topic, and in andvance sorry; Do any of you know any good applications for how to administer web connections? It seems like the default connection to the web is through my sim card (3G, EDGE etc), so what I'm doing now is actually "switching off" my phone, then enable wi-fi and then start surfing. There has to be a better solution to this...

Hi all,
I just love the facelift with the realizeicons, great work!
I have the same problem with the task manager (Running) though, as soon as I change to the realizeicons it makes Winterface to crash!
Any solution for this?
In my opinion Winterface is by far the greatest looking GUI for WM-phones today, and it would be really nice if it were a little more skinable.
Thanks / PG
Best of luck
well no upDATES??
hm..wintrface is good i agree
but bit too boring..................if only some wallpapers can be used along with themes like spb???
soo
all those genius ppl out there.
PLZ DO IT

Save as Windows Bitmap, 24bit colour depth, RGB colour profile and in the format R5,G6,B5 (available in Photoshop Advanced Options when you save as Bitmap).
Saving Alpha channel makes no difference that I can see.
You'll need to keep the original contact image as it matches the one in the "black.bmp" file and ensures the contact pictures show correctly once you've selected a single contact to dial.
Icons need to fit 42px x 42px squares on the grid
Hope that helps.

Hey Dude. Quick questions. DID you figure out how to edit the ".skin" files?
