Correct. Normally, the highlighed icon has a lighter background, but it can be anything you want. For example, on the Pearl cube, I just inverted the colors using Paint...

It would be easier on me to make these custom icons if I know which space you wanted them in. I'm working with the original cube icon backgrounds, and it starts dark at the bottom and lightens up as it goes up. Hopefully I'll be making a new "background" for the icons so that position won't matter, but for now, let me know what you want.

I've attached the Sling icon that will replace the top left button. Let me know if it works. I tried out that new bmp to brn program to make it.

For those of you who are interested in making .cabs, there is a free program found here-> http://www.freewareppc.com/download/...ncreator.shtml that allows you to make CABs. It even has a creation wizard! Combine this with the new brn creator program and just about anyone can come up with a new icon cab in minutes!

Here's a quick one I threw together. It replaces the icons for the Application Launcher with Gant icons and changes the registry paths for the buttons to these:
Top Left: Total Commander
Middle Left: PIE
Bottom Left: Comm Manager
Top Right: IM
Middle Right: SMS (tmail.exe)
Bottom Right: Email (tmail.exe)

Haven't gotten fancy with it yet, but we're getting there! have fun everybody!

I'm sure everyone has already found this, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

You can make your Touch Cube go faster by changing the registry values for:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>Biotouch> DownFPS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>Biotouch> LeftRightFPS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>Biotouch> UpFPS

FPS stands for "Frames Per Second" so setting each of those entries to 60 will make the cube flow very fast, almost as fast as your finger goes across the screen. Don't know if anyone else would prefer it to go faster, but I like the increased speed when navigating it. No reset required, btw.

Major Breakthrough!!!

well, at least for me.

I have been able to create an 8 Button Application Launcher for the HTC Cube!

It's quite simple, but time consuming. Essentially you have to create App0-App7 registry values in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLaunche r folder that work together and don't crowd each other.

Right now I just have placeholder buttons, but i will try to get one up and available for download by today.

Gentlemen, and Ladies, the possibilities just became endless.

Well, here it is! I call the theme "Silver Stripe"

Programs Linked to Are:

1. Total Commander
2. Pocket IE
3. Sling Player Mobile
4. Comm Manager
5. IM (built-in by OZ)
6. Mailbox (tmail.exe)
7. YouTube (make sure your Favorite is called "YouTube")
8. Google Maps

Attached is the CAB to install, as well as the FILES (images, brns, and PCI file).

Special thanks to mattahan at Deviantart for all the GREAT GANT icons!

Enjoy!

Great breakthrough! A couple questions.

Do you think there's any way to make the page that has the three long buttons be changed to have smaller multiple ones?

Also, is there a limit to the size of the icons on the page with 6 (or 8 in your case). Not so much making them bigger, but actually making them smaller?
