How to add new images to iconres? :/

[glodos]

All available skins doesn't contain all pictures wich i want to have changed so i tried to insert to iconres.ezx new icons with kview0.3 but when i put it in phone some pictures don't appears. In kview0.5 we can't add new pictures so is there any way to do that? I tried perl scripts on e2mod.com but they convert images not correctly and i can't edit them. Also i tried to unpack with kview0.5 default iconres with all images (this 11MB), delete unneeded pictures, replace new and pack again....but then 32bit bmps are like 24bit - without alpha and most images don't appear. Help plz i have great project for theme but i can't make it :/

I don't know if we have E2 skinner around... usually they are in the Chinese and Russian forums... We will wait and see

maybe u can use iconres.ezx from Z6 skin. But delete unused files. CMIIW

[glodos]

yeah but this is what i'm talking about :/ it's impossible to delete unnecessary icons and then pack them again correctly.. also i can't put 32bit bmps because when i pack them to iconres then kview converts them to 24bit without alpha and i don't know why :/

Try kview02.Some of the best skinners in it168 suggest using kview02 to unpack/pack iconres.ezx instead of using kview03/05.

have you got it?

[glodos]

ok i found big thanks...hope it will works

[glodos]

lol...if i pack images in kview0.2 more of them don't appear than pack by 0.3 version...i don't know how they make themes....
i also tried to edit iconres.dat from kview0.5 in hex editor because i want to put png files instead bmps...then iconres is packed correctly but..in phone there are no new icons....i'm getting irritated....is there any guy from china who knows how to make themes?

[zjole]

Sorry to hear that...I guess there's something wrong.Are you sure you have made it all right?
Just replace or add some icons should be quite easy.

[glodos]

kview 0.5 -packs correctly but if i replace bmps by pngs they don't appear..and i can't put bmps with alpha because this program coverts them to 24bit i don't know why:/
kview 0.3 - some images don't appear in phone ex. corners of windows, voicenote icon
kview 0.2 - most of images don't appear

i don't know how other people make themes .. respect for them

anybody can help me?

I think you can just unpack the iconres.ezx and then re-pack it without any change,to see if everything is OK.

I will post some screenshots later.Hope that may help you.

i tried but it not works but i want see what you got for me;]

I mean you unpack and then pack the original iconres.ezx,not the one you modified.
If everything is OK,then there's nothing wrong with your unpacking and packing process
I will post the screenshots very soon,almost done now.

Below I will use kview02 as an example.(just replace some icons)

1.Open the iconres.ezx file.



2.Select a folder to save the extracted k/g files



3.Convert the k/g files to Windows readable formats.


Select a folder to save the converted icons



4.I've already prepared the icons(32 bit depth png files) I want to replace with.



5.Convert the icons to k/g files



6.Save the new k/g files to new iconres.ezx



Almost done now.The last setp:unpack and then pack iconres.ezx using the perl script.Just unpack and pack,no changes.Because kview cannot handle some icons(for example,the slidebar) correctly,this is necessary if you want to make your theme "perfect".

ok big thanks i will try....all you show me here i know very good:P but i didn't know that it's necessary to repack iconres by perl scripts...
i'll try later because now i don't have time for this
