 |  k...feeling unsure enough that I dont want to execute a cab I made! I extracted the 3 files from the WM6 cab, modified the gwes one with the bitmaps in it and used winace to pack a new cab. Sounds safe enough as I typed this though...but I think I'll wait til the expert chimes in!!

|  OK everyone, here is a SUMMARY of how I did this. I will have to wait probably till this weekend when I have time and am at my home PC to give more detailed instructions, but I have a feeling that this will get you started. First of all, I had to extract the file: gwes.exe.0409.mui from the \WINDOWS directory. (I believe for WM6, it is the shellres.96.dll) This is a ROM file, so it isn’t as easy as it sounds. I ended up using a program called WM5romExtractor.cab or something like that. (The 0409 in the above referenced file is the LANGUAGE… i.e., if you are using SPANISH, your file would be gwes.exe.0C0A.mui) Once this file was extracted from ROM, I then had to use a RESOURCE editor to open and view the contents of the file. I used RESOURCE TUNER… In the Resource editor, there was a group called BITMAPS. Within this group, you will see (3) sets of your current Icon, each set consisting of (16) files. There are (16) bitmaps in each size category… 32x32, 44x44 and 64x64. It appears WM5 uses the 44x44 set as the default for the loading icon. Now, I was able to use ANY size, but this was the default. (Sorry, I am not in front of the computer right now to reference the specific bitmap # in the Resource Editor). It appears that you can use pretty much any size of bitmap that you want to, up to (16) to comprise of your animated load icon. If you want to use less, you can… just loop them. (i.e. Have (8) images and use the same (8) two times) Once the file is SAVED, you need to DIGITALLY SIGN the file. I used a program I found over at XDA forum called Multiple File Signer. It uses signtool.exe and a generic certificate I guess… not really sure when it comes to stuff like this, but it worked so I didn’t complain. Once the file is SIGNED, I then used a program called WinCE CAB Manager 3.0 to create my CAB file. The rest is history…. I know it isn’t really detailed, but I am at work and don’t have access to my PC to go into that great of detail… additionally, I am not a programmer or developer, so it is still a learning experience for me as well. Thanks, and I hope you all enjoy… Jon |

| Wow... Some of those are expensive. I'm guessing you have some of them for work?
