What phone do you have? What ROM you using? Please update signature to enable help more easily

Sorry about that, the phone I am using is a Cingular 2125 aka HTC Faraday aka Tornado. The ROM is WM6.1 for (CE OS 5.2.20279 Build 20279.1.3.4) Rose ROM *UPDATED*. I have installed CHome Configurator to the storage card and that is also where I have my pictures. Because of storing them on the memory card, I am guessing, the small panel icons(the _sat_active and _desat_inactive) do show up as red x's until it refreshes. This isn't a big deal but it is just the individual apps or contacts that still arent showing up. If it would make it easier, I can find a screen shot app to show my panel page.

Icons in clock panel? Do you mean the icons on the left of panel?
There is a thread with 2 x progs BT on "also a discoverable" and the other is WiFi on, you could make a panel with these or add to Program Panel.

First of all thanks for the nice tutorial. However I have a problem and it is similar with this post:

I own an HTC s740 (Rose).
First of all only the "active" panel icon works. The inactive is an "X" image. I use two different icons (one coloured and one greyed) but only the one that I type first works. If I change their order again the active one works.
Moreover, when I turn the phone in landscape mode (by dragging the keyboard) the panel icons disappear.

And then we go to Picture. I tried dozen times and the pictures did not appear. But when I turned the phone in Landscape mode the icons appear regularly.
I then got curious. I decreased the Picture size and it still was visible only in Landscape mode. I decreased it again and then I got a big "X" in the Landscape mode.

It seems that different image sizes appear in the two different modes. Any ideas?

And also why can't I see both active and inactive images?

Sorry for the second post, however I found a solution for the Panel Icons for the HTC Rose (s740) and something like a solution for the Pictures.

When you create a new panel icon you enter your image URL in Panel icons tab. However you need to insert three values there. The first value is for the portrait active icon, the second for the portrait inactive icon and the third for the landscape icon.
So you have created for example a new panel called Programs. You have two different icons and you copy them in the Windows folder. The correct URL is:
\Windows\Programs_active.png;\Windows\Programs_ina ctive.png;\Windows\Programs_active.png

If you dont want two different icons you can always use one in all three cases. That's the solution for the panel icons.

The problem with the Picture for each page of the panel continues unfortunately. I've tried many things and I found that if you use only one URL for example \My Documents\radio.png then you get your picture only in the landscape mode, while it does not appear in the portrait mode. I tried using two values with a ";" between them and then I got nothing again in portrait and a big "X" in the landscape. (I also tried repeating the values three times, although there is no inactive picture here, of course it didnt work).

Then I tried something else. I customized the "Settings" panel which is the only panel that pre-exists and you can edit it. I inserted a new page for my "FM Radio" and I inserted the same URL as previously. Miraculously, this works !! You get a page with a picture that works both in Portrait and Landscape mods.

I'm still baffled by the fact that the same url doesn't work in a custom panel and works only in new page of an already existing panel. I will keep trying to find a solution but I think I'm all out of ideas. Any advices or people with Roses experimenting would be nice.

What about instead of creating a new panel with ChomeConfig using the Reg from settings panel and duplicating in Reg but under different name?
Then editing as you previous posted.
Maybe ChomeConfig is the problem with creating new panel since not really made for land\port devices?

I thought of it too, but I'm not that good with the registry. I tried making a new panel by adding new keys etc. but I failed. I'm not sure about the right way although I followed the instruction I found on a website.
