i dont want to redo the app at all, all i want to do is customize the three hotkeys??? i want the text app to go to pocketCM threaded text messaging?? is that possible?
Not sure but does this help?
that edits the tabs and everything. I just want to edit the three little boxes above the tabs. The email, text, and missed calls
this program cannot edit those three tabs?? maybe a reg edit, to specify path to the PCM text messaging?? anyone have a clue how to do thisZ
It takes more than a simple registry hack to get this to point elsewhere. I hexedited the HTCHome.dll file to point to "fmail.exe" instead of "tmail.exe" and fmail.exe is a vjbrisk pointer to FlexMail. Even hexediting is insufficient as you need to digitally sign the dll file so it can run again. Even then, it will not go to the corresponding folders.
so...... dont even bother w/ threaded text messaging. Because i use that link a lot
maybe a mortscript can change the reaction to the tab? I want to use flexmail too, because poutlook suck so bad. Cannot display half of my email, only thing it display is the subject.

Hello,
I've been searching all day for any information on how to change the icons for various applications. I'm somewhat at a dead-end.
I've read that to change application icons you have to edit the .lnk file. However, I've discovered that applications seem to have multiple .lnk files associated with them, for example; my 1-calclite.exe program has a .lnk file in both \windows\ and in \windows\start menu. Which of these am I supposed to edit to change the icon throughout the system?
Also, the only information I've seen to edit states that you add a comma and then the name of the .dll to use as the icon. This, needless to say, is a bit confusing. I have a whole rack of .png files that I'd like to use as icons (I can easily convert them to .ico if needed) that I would like to associate with programs. Do I need to somehow compress them into a .dll file, or can I just store them into a directory (say, \my documents\icons) and just point the .lnk file to there?
Alternatively, is there any program (free or otherwise) which simplifies this whole process in a GUI?
Thanks for any help you all can give!
what file type do icons need to be in order to use them in ultimate launch? ico comes up with a windows icon, bmp comes up with an opera icon, and .icons come up with folders.
You need ICO
when i use ico, all of the icons have an opera icon when i put it on windows mobile. i deleted opera but it still comes up.
so i guess windows mobile set opera to open all ico files. how do i change this?
Don't know how to do it normally, but using Schap's Advanced Config tool, there's a File Associations setup tab
i'll try it out. so what program do i change ico files to in order for the icons to show? picture viewer?
mine does the opera thing too. Did you figure out how to fix it?
I had the opera icon issue after I installed the 9.5 beta. I fixed it last night with a hard reset...
I'm having a similar problem and would prefer not to do a hard reset. I can change the file association with file commander, but what do i change it to?
Thanks in advance.
it doesn't matter what file association it has for it to be used with UL. It's not like you are using the icon within file explorer to launch UL.
Put it in a folder somewhere.
When you run UL configuration when adding a app, select Xp-icon button. after you select the .exe or .lnk file, click on the icon tab, then browse button, and then find the folder containing the icons and select the one you want for that app.
It should have nothing to do with what file is associated with it.
I had the opera beta installed and ultimatelaunch would just show error for all my icons. I uninstalled opera but now all my icons are displayed as IE icons.

have a look on the ini file and check where the corresponding icon-path refers to.
I found the problem. I was trying to use the glass looking icons posted in another thread about Ultimate Launch. The icons weren't recognized until i set the size to 58x58.
I seems that no matter where you put your icons, somehow Opera takes over and converts them into the "O" icon no matter what they look like. is there any way to take back the default look of the icon's with out hard resetting?

exactly. there are many reasons why an icon will not be recognized. File association by a browser is NOT one of them.
here is another tip: if you are using icons all of the same size, you can go to the tab on the main menu labelled xp-icons and set the size of the icons there, that way you don't have to individually check the box for each individual icon and rechange the size for each one unless that icon is different in size than the one you set on the main menu tab.
Is it possible to get UL to display the calendar? I've been looking through everything I can find on my phone all day and can't find any way to make it display that.
for the "XP" icons you need to use 32 bit icons. there are different versions of .ico. 32 bit have an alpha channel for transparency, they can also have various sizes within such as 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48. There are many programs out there to create the icons with. Like said earlier you also have to have enough room to see the icons of the size you choose 48 needs height of 48+ 32...you get the picture.
some apps to make .ico with:
GIMP
iicon
gconvert
I can't get the calendar plugin to work with Ultimatelaunch, anyone else has this problem
I use the calendar/today plugin TodayAgenda. Added that as a tab within UltimateLaunch. Works perfectly.

Unfortunately, in this case it does seem to matter. the Opera icon highjacked the UltimateLauncher icon itself when I changed my layout. The content of the file hasn't changed a bit, just the way it is displayed everywhere on the Pocket PC.
I've done some extensive searching for this one and come up with nothing...
I've found the path to start menu icons on a registry editor, which leads to a .qtc file on HTC-added applications but this field is blank when I highlight a program's IconPath for any applications I have added, eg. Skype, Facebook etc.
How do I go about changing any of the start menu icons to files of my choosing? eg. to some of the brilliant files from iREFLECT to name but one pack.
YOu can change the menu facelift by refering to tweak guide fROM tOPAZ Tweak page
and lok for TF3D Start Menu option. It is a bit manual & you need to get into registry editor to do that.
Hi All,
I am needing to customise a few things on our new HD2's automatically.
I've created a cab file that successfully deletes a bunch of unwanted shortcuts & make some changed to the IE favourites.
However, I want to disable HTCSense & also set a default background/wallpaper via a cab file, but I'm having trouble with this.
I've managed to semi do it via registry entries in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
It appears to have disabled HTCSense & enabled the Windows Default 'today' screen. But I still get HTC Calander, Music, Footprints & Peep icons in the start menu, however they do not function. There are no .lnk files to delete to get rid of these...
And for the background, the registry entry is there & under settings\today it shows as being selected, but the wallpaper is not actually applying.
Thanks in advance!
So... Found the issue with the background/wallpaper... It doesn't actually use that registry key to select the wallpaper, its just for display on the Today settings page... grr...
Copied the relevant files to \windows\stwater_480_800.png & stwater_800_480.png & rebooted.
So now I'm left with getting rid of the HTC shortcuts...
Also, is there a way to force a reboot after installing the CAB file?
Cheers!
