The only trick was understanding that you need to make two images for each icon- one for the color, and one for the transparency. Also they need to saved from a paint program that supports the .bmp format that this plug-in uses (R5B6G5)

can u post the icons? got any more? I was wanting one for IE, Messenger....thx

I had previously posted the icon I made for messenger in another thread here:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...7&postcount=26

If you want I can post it here, but you have to wait until tonight or tomorrow when I can get back to my machine.

The only other one I made was the GoogleMaps one... The IE one you see in my first post here was just part of a comp I made to mach up a second row.. I do plan on making one though, so I'll post it here when I do..

do you know how to change the quicklaunch configuration. when i try to open windows live search it gives me an error message, but when i go to programs or use the launcher that comes with the htc home screen it works fine. i also want to change the last icon on the quicklauncher. i want it to go to youtube or something other than sprint tv. does anyone know how to do this. changing the icon would be great as well.

thanks for the reply. I thought the second row of quick launcher is default. It is shown in the touch manual.

They're in:

\winodws\ql_skin_p.xml
\winodws\ql_skin_l.xml

on your device.

Thanks for that link. It looks good, but I think it changes more of the UI than I want. I want to keep most of the HTC Home.

i use Pocket plus 4 and i left the whole htc home plugin running on top and just put the pocket plus 4 right under it and i have all the launchers i want it the tabs. i do not know how to post picks of my today screen but i think it will do exactly what you want.

I've updated my HTC Sprint Home plugin with links to email (the tmail app included on the Sprint Touch), and AIM (messaging). I'm posting the icon & mask images as well as the associated xml for good measure.

You can see the whole screen in action in the jpg..
