How to make 3rd Party Icons For your Symbian phones

Change all symbian application icons of your phone including the default/stock applications (like Transfer Data, Video Editor and etc) by introducing 3rd party icon in theme studio (download from www.nokia-asia.com).

PROCEDURES:

1. Select '3rd party icons' from 'Theme' pull down menu.





2. From the first window you can see the information of the applied third party icons. information includes status of the icons and icon names. You can add new third party icon by clicking 'new' from the command bar. you will be asked to input the following....application name, application uid (include 0x), icon type (mark the icon type/s you wish to customize). then click 'ok'.
see image below for a sample..



*** to know the exact apllication name and uid, run fexplorer, go to the directory where the app is located (ex. E:\system\apps\ETICamcoderr\).highlight the .app file (ex. ETICamcorder.aif), then press # sign of your keypad to view its properties. take a look at the image below. ****



3. Mark the icon type/s you wish to change. then click 'ok'.



Now go to 'icons' -> 'application icons' -> 'context pane icons'.
A new space is not alloted for your 3rd party icon.
You will noticed that the icon there is the same as your menu icon.

4. BEFORE changing it, click 'clear' from the command bar. (failure to click 'clear' will affect the menu icon when you edit the 3rd party icon)



5. The icon slot is now cleared ('check' mark below the icon is gone) and is now ready for editing. (TaI)
