OMNIA : how to modify background in "Menu"

[massi959]

I've found how to modify the background of the "Menu".
First find the file Launcher.exe.T1.skin in \windows.
Then you must copy the file to your PC and open it (I've used Reshacker).
Then replace the images BMP No 212, 214 (for portrait mode) and No 213 and 215 (for landscape mode) with other bitmap images of the size respectively 240x374 and 400x214.
Finally overwrite it in \windows with Resco Explorer (or similar).

This is mine (as per attechet file)





UPDATE 6 october : Changed the icons. See post n. 20

For those who are curious, these are some of the png images hidden in the Launcher.exe.T1.skin file (extracted on a mac with filejuicer and made a screenshot of the generated HTML file)

That's cool. Which program can I use for PC? And I managed to change the background but I'm still looking into changing the font colour.

Doesn't ResHacker allow you to extract or replace the menu png files as well?

[PaSSoA]

No, for the PNGs, all I see is Hex code. I can only replace the Bitmaps.

Anyway thanks to the thread at MoDaCo I managed to find "secstresSilver96.dll" and "secstresBlack96.dll" in \Windows\ and all I did was rename it to "secstres96.dll" on my PC and using Resco Explorer or TotalCmd copy it back to the device and reselect Samsung Today 2 in the Today items and its done, you have a new Today menu, and you can change the fonts colour under settings\theme.

You could try the 30 day trial version of resource tuner it supports png files as well:

BTW the font color in the theme settings doesn't apply to the samsung main menu unfortunatelly
