But i have many older applications and control panel items that show weird resized versions of their small icons as these were created with older menu in mind.

I tried to find but i failed in understanding how the png's and those files for which they show up in the start menu are related/linked coz i want to make icons for the this older stuff and make my ROM look a little better.

Can anybody throw some light on this issue?

I has a problem cause I made a group folders in programs, like Favorites, Tools and others. Initially i supose to edit the mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml file wiht the new patch has to be inoff, but it doesn't work. Then i use an proxml file to edit the patch and finally works well. I supose could be the same with other programs. I just change the icon for the new ones for example commanager, and others.

there are two ways that i know of to change the icons. one is through registry edit where you assign you custom png pics to each thing, i posted how in my kitchen thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ns#post3996698

the way i do the icons for my apps is this....first find the images you want to use for your icons, put them all in a dll file. then place your dll file in the windows directory. get sktools(freeware) and it will allow you to map your .lnk's to the pics in the dll you created. then use total commander to copy/paste your .lnks from the start menu to your storage card. from there you can take the lnks and put them in each ext folder for the apps hope this helps.

• GWES.exe has been replaced by the 23001 version. This addresses the Total Commander selected item issue.

• compime.dll has been replaced by the 21731 version. This addresses the issues with Opera and keyboard input.

Direct link ->http://www.4shared.com/file/11644062...n_updated.html (updated 7-7-09 at 12:10am to fix duplicate GUIDs with WindowsLive)

Just rename to SYS_23003_Common.rar to use.

Hello joojoo
i cooked a rom for eten m700 & every now & then i get SOD (have to soft reset due to black screen & blinking network light) which appears like the phone is working but does not to "wake up"
i noticed (and tested later to confirm),,,that this hapen when you have the internet explorer open (or running in the background) then the phone sleeps...if you press the button to turn the screen off you can press again to wakeup..only if left alone to sleep, it will not wake up & then soft reset is needed
also it maybe related to active wifi at that time too..not sure
i do not know if this helps any in your research for a reason...hopefully we will have a fix soon...thanks

Guys, what was the fix for the grey backgrounds in the WM themes in the 23001 and 23003 sys's?

Try changing Themes. Then change back to it.
Thats what worked for me... Maybe it was a fluke.

Make sure your themes have the following registry keys in them (open them with WinCE Cab Manager)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]
"ThemeColors"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I have a theme, which is a variation of the Nautilus theme, that I have been using for months and it was fine, but on the 23001 and 22003 sys's the backgrounds are grey in some areas that should be white. Have the reg entries changed over the last couple sys's?

OK, sweet... thanks for the reply. So the reg entries that joojoobee posted above are the new ones, I assume, and I can overwrite them in my old tsk?

Thanks again.
