Im looking for any information you can provide on how to modify the graphics for the CommManager. Anyone able to link would definately be my hero. LOL. Thanks in advance.
The way I did it was I copied all the image files from the windows folder on my phone over to my computer and then went through them and found the ones that belonged to the commanager and then modified them to the way I wanted them to look and then put them back to replace the old ones. Hopefully you're good at graphics because it took me a few days to redo mine since I kind of suck at it.

Can you post a pic of yours for us
If possible, can you tell us the name of the file you modified....thanks
For the 8, 9, and 10 button touch style commManager from the Kaiser that I've been using, the Background is BG.png and L_BG.png .
Looking at packages for the standard Wizard commManager, it looks like the graphics are in the Res DLL file. You can use the ResHacker tool in the Core Kitchen to view and edit this (in theory).
When i go through the rom i find no images for the CommManager, when i open the CommManager dll There are resources in there, but When i try to replace those, I get an error about it not being signed.
So what do we do here, is there any registry key like with the phone dialer that can tell it where to get the graphics?
In the HyperCore Kitchen there is a signer program and some files for it. I haven't figured that part out myself yet, but maybe ask anichillus for the steps.

It's easy , just start the signer ...and it will guide you. I had a tutorial on my website...but....my favorite saying in English : "$#it happens"
For a good resource tool, i recommend Restorator 2007....but it's not free

The one I changed was the 8 button commanager that mfrazzz used in XM6 the first edition (the gray gradient touch looking one) and all of the images were in the in the windows folder. The names of them were 0_on, 1_on ..., 0_off, 1_off..., 0_dis, 1_dis ..., 0_dn, 1_dn..., L_8_dn, L_4_dn etc, etc. Unfortunately I haven't used that commanager since I had XM6 on my phone and I didn't get a screenshot of it, but here's a couple of buttons that I made for it (I made 2 different versions, one black and one with a green - black gradient).
I just checked and I installed the 10 button black commanager on my newest ROM and all of the image files for it are also in the windows folder. - nevermind, I forgot that when I cooked this ROM it actually had a 10 button version of the same commanger that I mentioned above and I installed the 10 button black one later. The images that I saw listed in the windows folder were the ones for the one that was on there first.
I guess if you want to edit a commanager that you don't have to edit a .dll file to change then use that one.
This ROM was linked in the WM6.1Pro thread, but it is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard ROM. I don't have the build information available, because the About applet is missing.
It defaults to CHS (Chinese), but English is included. You'll either have to regedit the language (HKCU\MUI ... set the value to 0x409) or change it "blind" via Settings/Regional Settings.

Anybody else going to report on this rom?
I flashed it and ran out of room on the Rom pretty quick. I put on M$ VC 1.6, Live messenger, T-9 English in the main memory, then I put on Live Search, Google Maps, Sirius, Office, Adobe, and oxiosmemory. I was left with about 3mb on the main Rom.
Every reboot, It went back to chinese in the Regional settings, so I had to keep resetting that back to English. Other than that. Fast as ever. Everything works on it.

I'm not able to do the path for the sliding panel apps launcher , any step by step help will be appreciate , thx
This is realy cool
I have tested this version and Its working preatty fast and sooth. MY SP5 picks all nicely and all net options and key mappings are fine. aditional optios for activating/deactivating sms threading. New pannel to run your own programes from home screen ...if you are fine with xml, you can custermize this the way you want. basicly having extended mail box and Nitrogens screen notificantions from his WM6 palitinum rom ...this is the best version so far.
As usual , again a request for all our experts (nitro specialy for you ) just use this kernal as the base and release a extended version like WM6 palitinum SP1.

Software path : actual path of the programe.
Eg: "\windows\camera.exe" without quotes !
Picture path : insert as above any icon to be displayed.
File name: Application name that you need to display in the slider.
Text name :Aditional discription if need to see on the slider.

WM does not identify taga as a native picture format. use .ico/png/gif or jpg.
further you can use icon off the any DLL file.however you have know about icon ID and call that in Picture path:
Eg: Picture path : 4601 , means icon "play".
Lead it into the Windows Directory, or, Just open the registry with registry editor and see how they did it. I could only get a few to work. I ran out of Ram so I flashed back to Gnats rom.
This is quite possibly the best rom I have tried. I've been using it for a couple of days and still haven't found a bug I couldn't fix myself.

Ok, You may need to have a addon with the plugin, to access the default icon from the any app you are going to access with. this is still in opening stage and sure, our experts will come up with more solutions with addon. anyway sice this is very fine tuned OEm tornado 6.1 rom I strongly recomending not to go with any registry edits for just showing the default icon. you have 2 solutions, 1. use any icon packeger and dump the default icon from your app, copy it to your phone then update the path using icon path. 2. use smiler icon from the dll.
I just found the same subject off another thread and you may find more advance options for custermizing this slider.

As far as I know there aren't a lot lot raph's owner editing their manila to add a calendar, call history or comm manager tab. I bumped into all kinds of wall's when I tried to add an calendar tab. After a lot of searching and trying I can't get manila editor 2.0 to recognize the 26948339_manila file, It just doesn't see it for some reason. Anybody else tried and succeeded? Or to add other tabs? This could be the thread where different kinds of manila mods on raphael could be discussed. I'll posted it here when I have found a solution, cheers
These are some of the tabs, already in the diamond forum, Calendar, comm manager and Call history
Hi!
I currently have the calendar and commanager tabs working on my touch pro.
I took me some working to get them there, but i did it.
Try installing the theme posted on the link below, it has both tabs and is basically the original theme with the greens changed into blue (my creation).
You can apply the theme with Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool v 3.2.
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?oxbz2eayvgu
Cheers and good luck.
Real nice thank you! Did you do this with manila editor? You mean to say open with TF3D config right? Either way can't seem to open it (i did use AC 3.2 and). Must be doing something wrong...
First, you got it right, I meant the Diamond TF3D Config instead of configurator, sorry for the mistake.
What version of the TF3D config are you using? I'm using 0.6.7 and i've just installed this very same theme after having changed to another one previously....
Where/how are you trying to install the theme? Are you going in the "appearence", selecting the directory where you placed the .theme file clicking on "path", selecting the theme it self on the drop down list, then clicking on "apply" and hitting "start"...
Maybe you missed some of these steps?
Anyways, take a further look and search into the diamond themes threads, you may find your way...
Cheers.
I would love a "tasks" tab...

Hey man thanks for replying did all that but it doesn't show, also have the latest version(apptodate), maybe it has thye wrong format. I'm on romeos. Here are some screenshot's. But could you also tell me how you edited these because I cannot get manila editor the read 26948339_manila. Anyway thans a lot , cheers
I'm out of ways to try to edit 26948339_manila (to add a calendar tab to manila), there is just no way this file is seen by manila editor 0.2. I'm using this on vista, maybe someone else has some info...
I have managed to install comm manager via this cab
Use a notepad like application (windows XP Notepad worked for me), not the manilla editor. Don't forget to change the file attributes to "writeable" (not read-only) prior to editing it.
Good luck.

Now my default theme. Thankyou. I was bored with the Vodafone one.
The call history page locks up each time I switch to it. Everything else works perfectly. What am I missing?
I succeeded in getting either a calendar tab or comm manager tab. Will attach the manila files, which are those created by D-MAN666 + 26948339_manila I edited (thanks cassiano)
Ok I succeeded in installing both of the tabs, with the above cab and these manila files (copy them to your windows folder with total commander). Something new has come up though, my home screen calander link became unresponsive (it doesn't link any more)

I had the same issue...and think it was because I loaded the Calendar tab first. Blob8Me has 14 tabs total with no issues, but went in a sequence that allowed it. I don't want to remove my calendar tab to install the call history tab first. Holding my ground with just 12 tabs.

I'm still using the Diamond Forum for most developments as much of the work done there works for the Raphael seemlessly - not all, but most. The next major development I'm waiting for is the ability to apply the Home wall-paper to all Tabs in TF3D but this doesnt quite work yet although I made some small progress with mun_rus's work for the Sprint Diamond - see post #78 in link bellow!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951&page=8
So - changes I've made since my last post here - I've added a sound settings tab - that gives me 14 active and useful tabs now I've added the analog clock to my home Tab - loosing the call history & appointment but I have the call history tab and still get my reminders for appointments. I've also added the VGA battery icon and tweaked the Titles on a couple of pages.
Current Tabs are:
Home - Of Course!
Speed Dial (People Tab)
Messages
Mail (Blackberry Connect & Emoze Free Push email client - www.emoze.com - both in use - very happy)
Jeff's Day (D-Man666's Calendar Tab)
Call History
Weather
Ohoto's & Videos
Music
Internet
Comm Manager (IDS_Communications Tab)
Settings
Programs
Sound Settings (Sound Tab)
A few (but not all) screenshots attached for info -those with the wallpaper as a background (weather, calendar) are as a result of woring on the background changer from mun_rus - please search this and the Diamond forum before asking for cabs, code etc.....
So - Lets see some more activity on the forum from Raphael users...... we do, after all have the best phone available in the world at the moment?

Yes, because the Call History and Calendar had the same number. Moved the Call History to page 11. Still locked when I went into the tab. Just uninstalled. I will install the Call History first after I install the Elite Rom (once released). Not sweating about it right now.
I was looking to reactivate the non responsive calendar link on the home screen but I suddenly got another tab added (the unresponsive link seems to be caused by mun_rus' Backgound Image on All Pages)

To be honest (having done a lot of this) I find that the standard notebook app that comes with windows is fine for basic edits????

I installed the Calendar tab on my Touch Pro - everything is working except the month and days are displayed as IDS_CALENDAR_xxxxxxx (xxxx being the name of month/day).
Where is this filed substituted?
Nevermind, I got it - the zip did not include one important file. I got it from elswhere, now it works.

Hi.
I found this cab file which contains a homescreen that looks very much like the HTC Home app but it's in turkish.
http://gazete.yerbilimleri.com/htc-176x220-smartphone-tema/
I've managed to download and install the cab file but I've got big letters behind the clock and i think i may need some kind of plugin or something needs doing after install.
Can someone who can either translate turkish or has this running OK, please give me a clue? I'm on a HP 514...
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Turkish -> English
1) Install cab file.
2) Restart your phone.
You can use this homescreen with ipaq 514..
Is that real or are you taking the pi$$?
I've installed it ok but there's some big text behind the clock and I wondered if anything was telling you how to get rid of it...?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Like this...
Smiffy.
Not said anything for this problem. Only install cab file and then restart your phone.
Did you restart your phone?
I did - no luck...i'll find it eventually
Thanks for looking
Bwahahaha
I sussed it. I edited the XML file for the screen layout and it was because the font was set size 11,4.
Now, I don't know what locale the homescreen was designed for but in the UK, a comma (,) is not used as decimal seperator so once i changed it to 11.4, it worked OK
I like it

A simple example: Adding all programs tab
Let those who know about manila tweaks to help us to have the know-how to achieve this goal.
Thank you
Well there is a program tab being developed in the General WM software development section but it's currently VGA and needs to be edited for WVGA.
Another option is to use MTP (manila today page) in the diamond section this works .004 with sense with a couple of fixes and you can have any today plugin on the today page. see diamond section for full details or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415

You didn't read the instructions carefully. You have to delete the manila xml and delete key in the registry. This is essential to have 1 extra tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415&highlight=manila+today+page
1. Install MTP
2. Turn off Sense (otherwise you won't be able to perform step 3).
2. install MTP Apple Icon.zip (if you want to have the apple icon instead of the silver windows one...i made a *.cab here)
3. Under \windows delete the file ManilaFull.xml.
4. With a registry editor, delete the key \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration.
5. Activate Sense and reorder your tabs (by deleting xml and reg key you'll revert to default order).
I use the manila today page myself for displaying pocket weather in htc style.

MTP
O.K. have try the new mtp. It install fine without the need to do any window or registry edit. The only drawback (to me) is the ifruit tab icon. It spoil the whole silver feeling. Just a small sacrifice though. Just follow the link given by mkucuksari and download the correct version. Install and softreset. It'll be there.

This cab give a coloured today icon and works for sense, if you don't like the apple icon. It also give a people link on the right instead of MTP settings but the link is non functioning, also the MTP setting link was not functioning on my rom stock 1.66, you can gain access to MTP setting from start menu.
