[Macho]

Sorry been out of the loop all day, had something come up at work. Here is the last set of Ev/1x icon's

I think I need someone to double check my work on the HTC Start Menu Icons. The dll unsigned without any problems, switching out and saving the new icons went smoothly, and they signed correctly. Only one problem, when I went back in to double check the icons, Icon 5 was distorted, and icons 6-8 were reporting as corrupted. I've included my original dll, as well as both modified ones if anyone can back check me to make sure I didn't screw up somewhere...

Oh, I tried swapping the icons out with both PE Explorer and Reshack. Same error.

Did you replace the background of the large title bar with the HTCLTC.png files on both mine and Igotgame's posts on this? That will eliminate the icon artifact you are seeing.

Here's the link to my post. Download the Block Large Title Bar zip. Youcan discard the dll (for some reason my version doesn't do well on the Diamond). All you need are the 2 HTCLTB png files in the zip. Put both into your Windows file, soft reset and this should be dealt with for you.

Here you go! I was trying to do 2 versions, One for the block icons that I like so much, and one a bit more generic.

Well because you are making the .dll larger because of the quality of the images what you have to do is unsign it, then open it in PE Explorer and go to Data Directories, click on Certificate Table and set it to Zero then save. Open it in ResHacker since you are changing the depth of the images and PE Explorer don't like this haha... and change the icon's out then save and sign. Once you did the above the first time and saved it you will not have to do it in the future when changing out the imahes because you changed it the first time. If you ever get the message "Error: Signing Failed. Result = 80070057, (-2147024809)" when signing this is your problem and you need to do the method above. What this does is detroy the security table so you can sign it again.

Never used restorator before. I didn't have a problem replacing the images, it would just give me the error when I went to sign them. Typically when you get this error its because your certificate table is corrupt because you have changed the size of the .dll so you have to destroy the table by setting it to Zero to resign it. Either way good work all around. You guys keep up the good work, we really are making huge leeps here with the amount of changes we are doing to the Windows Mobile Platform look. XDA is normally known for there developing but with you guys I would say we have been far more advance over, so I would like to say thanks for everyones input here. Its a shame that HTC/Sprint or Miscrosoft don't put better quality stuff in there product. Imagine if your phone came "stock" with all of these custom images instead of the standard black/white or low quality images.

Now if we can just fine that freaken ok/close haha but it will come just like the CDMA network icons and all the other ones we couldn't find we eventually found them.

HTC Start Menu Services Icons

This dll will change the Today, Settings, and Programs Icons on your Start Menu. I have two versions, One matches Tsowen's Taskbar 3, the other will work with several of the other task bar versions posted here. This definitely works for QVGA, but it should work for VGA as well. I would like to get a couple of victims, I mean, guinea pigs with VGA devices to give both files a try, and either PM or post here what the results are. Thanks!


UPDATE: You must have the HTC Large Start Menu Activated for this to work. (Thanks to darren.wlsn for the tip!)

CWCID to Nelly04 and Tsowen for helping me identify and fix the mistake I made in changing these icons out.
