I would like to propose a standard.
A standard of naming ALL start menu icons using the "Start_Icon_XXXXX.png" format. This way, users wanting a different, uniform, iconset can request their favorite icon maker (people like Dinik for example) make a cab with this naming convention, where they can just install the cab and be ready to go!
To make a long story short, I propose all ROMs made on XDA, follow the format of "Start_Icon_Contacts.png" or "Start_Icon_FileExplorer.png". Half of this is already dont for us by microsoft, but HTC doesn't always follow it. However, we, as chefs, can easily rename these files before we cook a ROM.
I'll start doing this for all my ROMs, probably with the next update I will put it out... Let's make it easier on users to user their favorite iconset, without complicated apps needing to be used to change them one by one... it's such a PITA (especially when you reflash!).
So, who's with me ?
Get the word out to your favorite chef
I started to do this in my ROMs already.
About 50% complete with the standard "Start_Icon_Application_Name.png" naming convention.
Any spaces in the application name should be replaced with underscores in the registry(app.reg or .rgu) and the name of the PNG file itself.
