My colletion of AppIcons & AppTiles for replacing the icons with Advanced Config by Julien Schaps.

Added new Glass Icons & Some more Icons to the non Glass version.

Instructions;
Download & Install Advanced Configuration Tool for Windows Phone 7 Beta from above link. Download is near the middle of the page above the comments & advertisement.
Copy the AppTile_*.png & AppIcon_*.png's to \Windows of the device using Windows Phone Device Manager or the USB Hack/TouchXplorer/Advance Explorer methods.
Open Advanced Config Tool & change to Tile & Icons tab.
Select desired app/hub & then select the desire AppTile & AppIcon png's. (Some Hubs/App are currently disabled in the Advanced Config tool because they have Live Tiles & changing those Tile images will cancel out the Live Tile Functionality.)
Select Change, then OK to confirm changes.
There's a second pop up asking you to restart to make changes, click OK if done, Cancel if you want to change more icons.

NOTE: According to the developer of Advanced Configuration Tool, schaps, it works with HTC & LG devices for change icons. The tool also has some support for Samsung devices, but NOT Icon changing. Please report any problems about it not working to the developer. This thread is just a collection thread for icons. I can't help getting it working.

DONATIONS:
FlowerPotmen = $10.00 ($5.00 x 2)

Not exactly an XDA thing or on topic, but found an interesting Windows tweak for Media Center. I've always hated how if you mute Media Center, it mutes the system volume so you can't play music/youtube/etc in the background really. Well I found an app/shortcut "hack" that'll allow this. Download Media Center Mute & follow the instructions included. The just click the shortcut to mute/unmute Media center without effecting the system volume.

I am going to be doing more as time goes on. I also made a glass over lay for the tile, just need to figure out how to customize the tiles first.

DOWNLOAD LINK

The site has both WM 6.5 CAB files & WP7 XAP files. You want the XAP files, he makes apps for both OS'es. You need your device Unlocked & Tom XAP Installer v1.2 to side load the app. There are quite a few thread here on XDA that have instructions to Unlock your device.

Hi Very nice is there any reason why you made the tiles 200x200 the default size for live tiles is 173x173

No reason, I just didn't know the specific size & figured 200 x 200 should be big enough & would be scaled down.


Can i upload my custom icons here too? Or should we open a collection thread?

Be my guest to unload yours here. I'll change the title to "Collection Thread".

just put them in the windows folder of your mobile (for example with the windows phone device manager) and apply them with the new advanced config tool.
@drkfngthdragnlrd Maybe you can put this in the first post :D

The answer from drkfngthdragnlrd is correct ...for now they are disable...
I made some of them because this will change in next versions...
For the time all the live tiles app its good practice to not change the tile picture...

That's your opinion, personally i don't like the simplistic look. I like eye candy, which is why i release them for other who like eye candy. Instead of criticizing my work, why not make your own & post them here.

My idea of what WP7 should of looked like (Photoshopped, not real);

It's a fact that your design goes against the metro theme. There's a reason why MS didn't make anything look like that.

my opinion is that metro is better but it's good that you're making them for those of you who don't like metro and want eye candy. It does look good though

    Troubles with my Zip software, but maybe it will post anyway... 1st Batch of Glass Ti

    Here they are, if my zip-ware actually compressed them, I didn't really check the compression, but it seemed minimal... (a bit too fast)... Check them out guys, and if you know of something needing to come out, please let me know...
