Are you annoyed for having many email accounts with the same icon on your BlackBerry homescreen?

Customize Your Email Account and Folder Icon

I'm sorry to repost this in 95xx forum because the storm users aren't really aware that you can modify/customize your email and folder icons without installing a new theme. This is really useful and this method works very well on storm

[BoostedStorm]

haha pretty cool, i think I can give this a shot when I get home...

[skwij]

Awesome!

I'm running a theme, and want to customise my Messages folder. Can't seem to find that in the Service books, although I do collect 5 emails on my Storm.

What is the name of the Messages (all) service book?

the tutorial will show you how to locate your email UID

It was already posted here last night by stanp8 in this thread.

[Raven Valkyrie]

I'm aware of that, it's just better to have it's own thread

[skwij]

Yes, I can see EACH individual email UID. What I'm wanting is the catch-all MESSAGES folder, as I hide my email folders and use the MESSAGES one.

Or does this only work with individual email UID?

Yeah it works only with the individual email

Oddly it would appear the MESSAGES Folder on my Storm is the only one that does not have an Edit function on the menu. Was able to download the whole berrymanual.com zip file of Icons and replace the ones for all my individual mail accounts and all the other Main Screen Folders.

Thanks for posting this info Raven and stanp8!!!!

I have had so many issues with Themes I've given up on them but this definitely freshens up the look of my stock Zen Theme a lot.

Not to mention, it appears I can make my own images by just making sure they are 80x80 pixels and saved as .png format? Sweet!!!

[Raven Valkyrie]

Yes you can.. i've created dozens of icons.. cheers

[ncf632]

when i try to copy an icon to folder is says "net.rim.device.api.io.file.FilelOException [File not found]

what am i doing wrong, thanks for your help

[rusty2663]

does it have to be 80x80?

[skwij]

Yeah it works only with the individual email

Are you trying to copy a folder icon?

[Raven Valkyrie]

by the way, what device are you working on? 9530? I've not tested on 9530 but it definetely works on 9500

[yogi]

Your icons are awesome.

[leecott]

Thanks for the reply, I wish there was a user-defined way to change the SMS/MMS folder without making a theme yourself [plazmic is not easy!].

[Raven Valkyrie]

[blaisedinsd]

Only seems to work for folders and not email icons...and it doesn't seem to change when selected...
Am I missing something?

[Raven Valkyrie]

It should be working on 9500, you might have missed some steps. try again

[BADLANDER]

i got it working on my 9530, can i delete the picture from my SD card once i get the icon to change? or do i need to keep it there?
