lovekonadj 2nd April 2005, 19:32 can anyone tell me how to change the menu icon????
if ur using seriees60 version 1.. install sysiconz or ngagexpicon first then u can see at E:/System/Apps/freakMenu or xxMenu, u can change that in icon wizard..

Appu 5th April 2005, 21:09 I have one problem - not all icons created this way (with iconwizard) changes the apls name in main menu - for example its OK with MP3Player or PVPlayer, but i can't change the name in Quickword, Quicksheet, Resco Viewer, Papyrus and same more. Only the icons are new but still the same programs names.
If somebody can help, I'll be thankful :)
yeah.. its a problem with some apps. there will b a xxx_caption.rsc (where 'xxx' is mostly the name of the software) file at the target of such apps. For example, in quicksheet, there will be a file called 'quicksheet_caption.rsc' in /system/apps/quicksheet.
wat u can do is transfer this file to ur pc, and use the attached RSC Editor, and edit the file. After editing, save it and transfer it back to ur phone, and replace the existing file. Mostly, after restarting ur fone, the name of the program wud b changed 8)
Appu 5th April 2005, 21:26 Heres a screenshot of my n6600 on which i hav edited the labels of QuickOffice :D

leeuss 22nd April 2005, 06:53 hi mate, this is the english patch for S60 icon wizard.
just copy it and overwrite the current file.
leeuss 26th April 2005, 07:14 hi mate, i got problem on this icon wizard.
previously i try it,it's work.
but after i format my pc and reinstall again.
it can't work well.
the problem is when i putting the 44x44 & 42x29 image, it show an errors message.
but i dun know wat is means for??
coz this is not in english.
somebody facing this problemb4??
Se7eN 26th April 2005, 13:20 ALERT:
Changing icons on file handling (i.e. : QuickOffice, PDF +, etc) disables brownsing this files in ur phone.
For instance:
Changing the icon on QuickWord disables brownsing *.doc files received by sms, mms or email and file explorer.
BECAUSE:
This software S60 IconWizard doesn't have the option to insert mimetype application.
This kinda software must mimetype indication on *.aif file for browsing.
When viewed on an Hex Editor this *.aif files must have this line:
QuickWord
00000930 ..vapplication/vnd.ces-quick
0000094C wordJapplication/msword^appl
00000968 ication/vnd.ms-word......,.|
QuickSheet
000007A8 ...?......zapplication/vnd.c
000007C4 es-quicksheetNapplication/ms
000007E0 excelbapplication/vnd.ms-exc
000007FC el......,.|... .............
QuickPoint
00000888 .?......zapplication/vnd.ces
000008A4 -quickpoint......,.|...*....
PDF + 1.36
File : PdfPlus.aif
00000000 7...8:..*].....i)....Pdf+>ap
0000001C plication/pdf...............
Changing 'PdfFileList.aif' will create another icon and resets the default one.
I believe this must occur to other software that requires or uses file browsing.

i have that problem same to you before but i have found out that the image is not exactly 42x29 and 44x44.. use irfanview to resize it and save it as bmp.. regards :D
leeuss 27th April 2005, 05:24 hi lovekanadj, i've saw this problem.
it promt message is "kenn bmp".
i think may be i forgot to convert the pic to bmp format.
Any way, thx for help, i'm using ACDsee to convert.

Yes you can. after creating sis icon use unmake sis to break it and transfer icon.aif to your mobile and replace your icon with original with Fexplorer or other file manager.
