<edit>
This thread has changed alot over the pages, so I want to organize everything on this first post.
What I've modified so far:
-Signal strength bars
-Wifi bars
-EV icons
-1x icons
-4G icons
All of the above are available in blue, green, orange, pink, red, teal, and yellow. The signal bars are also available in white with a black vertical stripe.
Recently Added:
MegaMan lifebar type signal indicators
Christmas Tree!
They are all available for download here:
Choorp.com - Palm Pre Repository
How to use the custom images:
(I dont have SFTP setup on my Pre yet, so this tutorial is for doing this via root access. Also, if you want to copy and paste the commands into PuTTY or other program, put the new images on your Pre via USB mode in the main directory)
I'm just gonna start off at the point where you have root access.
1. Mount the file system as read/write
[CODE]mount -o remount,rw /[/CODE]
2. Copy your new files from the Pre USB drive to /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images. Let's use the red signal strength images as an example. This will also rename the file to the correct name so the Pre will see it and use it.
[CODE]cp /media/internal/red-rssi-1.png /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/rssi-1.png
cp /media/internal/red-rssi-2.png /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/rssi-2.png
cp /media/internal/red-rssi-3.png /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/rssi-3.png
cp /media/internal/red-rssi-4.png /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/rssi-4.png
cp /media/internal/red-rssi-5.png /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/rssi-5.png
cp /media/internal/red-rssi-error.png /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/rssi-error.png[/CODE]
3. Restart LunaSysMgr to see your new images.
[CODE]stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr[/CODE]
4. Mount your filesystem as read only.
[CODE]mount -o remount,ro /[/CODE]
5. You're done!
Reference:
When copied to /luna-systemui/images/, the files must be copied to:
EV and 4G icons - network-evdo-connected.png and network-evdo-dormant.png
1X icons - network-1x-connected.png and network-1x-dormant.png
Signal Strength icons - rssi-1.png (The number being the number of bars)
Wifi - wifi-0.png wifi-1.png wifi-2.png wifi-3.png
</edit>
I was just kinda curious about how people have been customizing their Pre. I haven't done too much yet, just changed the EVDO icons, bars color, battery percentage, carrier text, and a few other little things.
Post screen captures of your customized Pres! What have you done so far?

I was just wondering how to do this. Is this in the homebrew section? sorry if it's a dumb question but i tried looking all three pages already.
Can you also please post your raw bg? I wanna steal yours!! Dark bgs work best with the pre, imo.

Changing the carrier string and the battery percentage thing are covered in the WebOS Development forum. The Ev and bars images are pretty simple to edit. You need root access to copy them to your PC. Edit them however you like, then copy them back to where they came from. I think they're in /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images.
The bar images are the rssi-1.png, rssi-2.png, and so on. The Ev icons are network-evdo-connected.png and network-evdo-dormant.png.
Hope this helps
I have off work tomorrow so i'm gonna change alot more. It's fun lol

Not worried about the effect on the time keeping of the battery % string? or has that been fixed?

I've actually been keeping a close eye on that over the past couple days. It was only off once by 4 minutes, then it fixed itself.Not worried about the effect on the time keeping of the battery % string? or has that been fixed?

Great thread, I'll be back with more once I reapply a theme to the chat.
Here's the files I edited for the bars color and evdo icons. I also made a red version of the bars just for fun.

In the process of making more colors. If anyone wants a specific color, let me know.
