pinkbunniz · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2010, 03:50 AM

Specifally for the Sprint WM 6.5 release I have all the icons I want to use but I want to make sure i keep all the sprint nav, tv, and music in the slider. Any help will be greatly appreciated and even though its kinda girly what I want to make (Lots of pink!!) I will be sure to post it and share as I always do when I get help with something!! Thanks again!!

Anybody?? Please?? LOL Well Im thinking that if I change the graphics from a different cab that has all the sprint icons for 2.5 in photoshop and then cab them back up that will work? If not please steer me in the correct direction. Thanks again!!

Download cfcgui (google and you will find at xda). Run cfcgui, choose import from device, wait, and then scroll through each image to find the manila file associated with the slider graphic. You will find slider graphic for the large preview icon, the 'off' tray icon, the 'on' tray icon, etc (it ends up being a lot). You can get an idea of the un-branded icons by just looking at a cab of sense 2.5 slider icons. Those manila file names should be the same. If you want to edit the files, you can extract a png from the manila file with cfcgui, edit the png, and put it back in with cfcgui.

Check out THIS SITE. It allows you to pick icons to make a custom slider.

I understand that you already have the ones you want. Either here or at XDA, Brent372 (who made the site) says he'll incorporate other people's icons if you send them to him. He might add your icons, in which case you can use his cab generator. Otherwise, you may be able to figure out how to use yours using his as an example.

Thanks but I have already checked out brent's stuff and unfortunately its not Sprint specific as I am trying to do. But I do appreciate your help in looking!!

So I have got one slider done but now my problem is that when I install the cab on my phone, all the icons on the bottom are cut off a tiny bit on the right hand side. It looks really sloppy. I did size all the bottom ones to 128x128 so im not really sure whats happening.

Heres a screenshot to show you what i mean:

Any help appreciated! TIA!!

Wow! those are really great slider icons. I have never had any luck making sliders with HDWall. The problem with it is that it is not using the correct size I believe. That is the same problem I had. There really is no fix for it, at least as of two months ago when i stopped using it. I will subscribe to this thread and if I come across any progs to help you I will make sure to post.

BTW when using HDwall I was using WM 6.5 and M2.1 and I had the correct size for the icons.

If you have the manila files you can just put them inthe Windows folder and allow them to overwrite the stock ones and you should be good to go.
