How do you create custom icons,or really just change the color? I like the icon pack I am using, but I would also like to be able to change the colors when I want.

You can't just change an icons color, you would have to create a new image for that.

Are you asking how to physically change an icon on your homescreen to one that you already have? Or how to create icons?

:-D :-D

More of Create an icon after reading your reply. Im going to assume it involves using something like photoshop to create an image that i can then load onto the phone and use as my icon..? And would i be able to put those icons into a custom folder so that they dont show up in my Photo Gallery, because that bothers me lol.

Also, what image size would be correct for making a sharp icon(non blurry) or too large?

48x48 or I think 72x72 works as well. 48x48 is the default.

I guess i could use Paint too instead of Photoshop, or will image quality be compromised ?

Good luck accomplishing something decent in paint. You really need to use Photoshop/Gimp or Illustrator/Inkscape to get the look your going for. A basic paint program won't cut it...

How would you change a default icon to another icon that you already have? I use the Verizon SMS app, but I would like to have the stock SMS Icon open the Verizon SMS app.
