Icon Set changing

Unlike Nokia 6600, many other phones don't allow the user to choose what icon set will be used with a theme.Fortunatelly, there's Alberto Bilheteria to make a way for this.

-Go to Themes, and apply the theme whose icons you want to use.
-Open System Explorer, and go to C:\system\Shareddata\ .There you'll find a file called-Highlight this file and press Options-Open with-Unicode editor.
-You'll see some settings in the file.The icon set numbers are 2 sets of numbers that are right after
IconSet=
-Copy both numbers.Note that if there's a minus sign(-) after
IconSet=
, it must be copied too.

Now go to !:\system\SKINS\ , and open the folder where the theme you want to change the icons is.If you don't know what's that folder, first try the easiest way:
open every folder and look for the name of the theme you want.Some themes do have both mbm and skn files with their names, but some doesn't.In this case, use a mbm viewer, like the one found in ExplorerSP, and open every mbm, until you find the one that contains the images that correspond to the desired theme.
In this same folder, there should be a ini file.

Note:If there isn't any ini file for the theme you want, go to Themes and edit something in the theme, like Color Pallete or Wallpaper.This way, a ini file will be created

-Using System Explorer, highlight the ini file, and press Options-Open with-Unicode editor
-Inside the ini file, you'll see:
Icons=
followed by 2 sets of numbers:they are the icon set numbers.Select both, and paste the numbers you'd previously copied over them

Icon set numbers ready to be replaced

-Make sure Themes application isn't open, and that the theme whose ini file you're editing is not in use
Then press Options-Save
-After saving, apply the theme, and it will show up with the icons you chose

Alternatively,if you know what's the folder of the theme whose icons you want to use, go to that folder(at !:\system\SKINS\) , open its ini file, and directly copy the icon set numbers that are right after
Icons=
Then just go to the ini file of the theme you want to change the icons, and paste what you've copied at the same place

Notes:
*Always use Unicode editor to open the ini files.If you use Ansi editor, the ini file will be corrupted
*To reset the settings of a theme, go to its folder and delete its ini file
*For the default theme, the ini file is at
C:\system\SKINS\101f84b9\
