Help! - General Questions and Answers

Ok I just got my Diamond. I installed the Manila Customizer. I have some questions!
I have been able to install some of the files to add more clocks and stuff, but not others. It's like they are missing a file. Like the Benrus clock, Blackfire clock, or the Metal clock2 for example.
Then there are the ones that are cabs. Do I have uninstall them when I want to use a different clock or does it install them in the Manila program?
I also see themes out there. How does those work? Where do I put them?
Sorry I know this probably seems like stupid questions, but I'm lost!
Thank you,
Susan

well i haven't used mailla3d customizer but i have a tilt and have used manilla 2d customizer to set different themese for m2d. Basically to install a theme (a whole theme clock, background, etc everything) you have to copy the theme to the theme folder under the manilla customizer program folder:
e.g.
Programs ---> M2DC (u will probably have M3DC or tf3dc as diamond has tf3d) --> themes (this is the folder where you put the themes in.
most themes come in .zip format or .m2dct (again in your case it most likely will be .m3dct).
Also if you check out the diamond forum there is a whole thread on the manilla tf3d customizer and also threads on themes for tf3d.

Manila 2.5 Clocks

Had a little extra time on my hands and decided to make a couple of clocks for manila 2.5. First of all thanx to the creator of CFC GUI .60.35 - THE Manila/TF3D Image Editor and NRGZ28 for his carbon clock. I went ahead and made two variations of the carbon clock, a black carbon and blue carbon.
Here they are....
11/23/09 - Graffiti Clock
Really nice, but for what manila version are those clocks?
Since you see the shortcuts on the home page I guess it's the 2.5 brand.
That's looking real good!
I see that's winmo 6.5.1 that you are running, but what about the rest of the UI? that's a theme? It seems that the fonts and shortcuts down there are different.
What did you use to that effect?
Thanks!
Thanks! iam using the jw black theme for windows. the task bar i found while searching through the forums. And the shortcuts are from the manila 2.5. I just went ahead and edited the slider, icons, and clock. Still got some work to do before I completely customized my device!
[edit] nevermind! a search on jw black theme gave me a good result but! the wallpaper is real nice, any chance you could give more info on it? Thanks!
Looks real good, especially the 3rd one.
I am using the clock, but would like to get all the rest (at least the wallpaper and font).
Any chance you can be more specific about files names or maybe you could share what you created? That would be really great
THANKs .
not a problem, iam using the kabel system font, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532633
and ive attached the wallpaper iam using.
as for the slider ill post that one as soon as iam done editing it. iam compiling icons that coincide with windows mobile (i.e. opera for the internet tab, zune for the music player, outlook express for email tab and so forth) it should be done soon, just editing the taskbar and softkey skins to match the slider.
Thank you for all the info
And for your hard work!
Cheers
any chance in making the "AM~PM" on the clock white also?
yeah new clock for my sense 2.5
Thanks a lot have been looking for a new clock for my sense 2.5 long time and yeah yours works.
Nice look these clocks!
here are the manila files for a white am and pm on the clock. just unzip and copy to windows directory.
any tutorial
Hi bruc410,
could you provide me a short tutorial how to make a clock skin for Manila 2.5?
or is there any tutorial in this forum?
Thanks!
You need photoshop, a manila editor (preferably cfc-gui-only-0.60.35), and finally the original manila 2.5 file, found here http://code.google.com/p/manilavga/...ManilaOriginalWVGA-2_5_19211619_0.7z&can=2&q=. All you have to do is unzip the manila files and then open up manila editor and select the core folder from your manila 2.5 file. From there just save the original clock files to your computer as a png then edit them to your liking and replace them with the manila editor. Finally copy the edited manila files to your windows directory. Thats about it. Sorry if my directions are a little thrown together but i pretty much figured this out on my own. The good thing is once you get the hang of it you can customize the entire manila 2.5. Hope this answers your question.

Sense Weather Icons

As the titles says i need to find sense/manila weather icons so i can use them with my WAD theme.
Look all over but no luck. So if you have them or know where to get them that would be great.
I would try grabbing them from M2D. Sense uses layers, so it's not something you can just export.
Moved as not software release.
There available in M2D theme's as .png's or you can grab a TF3D theme and extract the images.
can you please think me to the threads?
Thinking about it the Sense ones will be animated in TF3D but you could use M2D "which are same just not animated" here is a link to the .cab to which could be extracted.
Also here is a thread with lots of M2D themes in the later will be the ones you want there also a nice set by beyond invisible in the thread.

Default stock icons from TF3D on Sense in HD2 badly needed

Hi there!
I love my HD2 and I wouldn't change it to anything else. But there's one thing that drives me crazy when I look at the homescreen. It's the Sense 2.5 default slider icons.
Does anyone know where can I find the original slider icons (icons+slider background) from TouchFlo3D from Blackstone or any other VGA/WVGA device? I'm trying to find it, but all I have is some modified versions. I'd really love to have good old TF3D slider... Please, help me with that or at least tell me what to enter in the search engine (I've tried slider / icon / iconset / default / manila / stock etc. in every possible combination - I get tousands of threads and posts and no answer).
I'm sure, that the original PNG files for the icons are somewhere there, but I simply can't manage to look through all these thousands of posts that i find and the search doesn't help at all.
If someone provides me with the link to these icons I will make a package with only a slider using HDWall and put it here for other users like me trying to find it...
Or maybe there are some ready manila files to put straight to the /windows folder to overwrite the default Sense 2.5 icons? If anyone seen that, please, provide the link.
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and please, don't say anything like "why don't you try GTX or Dusk or sth". I tested it already, but I just want the old slider, not the full theme...

I opened up the GTX theme and have taken all the slider files from there...
Normally it should cover everything...

Default HTC TouchFlo theme

Hello!
I installed in my Touch 2 the Theme for Manila 2D GTX Style (it is posted in this same forum but I can't post links) but I am not totally convinced about it. I would like to restore my default TouchFlo theme but when I go to the MD2C and remove it, then TouchFlo won't launch in my desktop menu.
What can I do?
Sorry for my English, I've tried my best.
Do the following.....go to start/settings/today/items...unclick Touchflo.....go to M2DC. Assume you have back-up the default theme...click apply default theme. Than click on Touchflow again.
When does not work do a soft reset.
Thank you for your quick answer.

Hi....
I really need some help out here.. I am a newbie and I desperately wanted to change my TouchFlo Background Image..
I found out that this can be done with M2DC and got that installed. I got some zip files and changed it to a new theme..
Things went completely wrong from here... I do not have a backup of my original TouchFlo 2D theme.
After Installing M2DC and applying themes I found, on my home screen, Date Overlaps on Weather, Date and Weather Overlaps on Time etc... I am not sure M2DC was a tool meant for HTC Touch2.
What do you suggest I do.. to get my original theme back..
could anyone upload the deafult's theme M2DC file plz?

Looking for wallpaper of programs page in ArtemisROM V50

Hi!
I'm using CHT 2.0 an I'm now looking for the wallpaper of the programs page (pressing windows button) in Artemis-ROM V50. I would like to use the blue gradient wallpaper on all sides of the HTC Sense UI. Unfortunately I think these graphics are not part of the ArtemisGreenBlack theme because they are not in the cab file.
Can someone tell me where I can find the graphics for wallpaper, taskbar and softkeybar as see on the program page in the named theme?
With many thanks.
NM
if it can help .. there should be a CHT option to set the same background in all tabs (otherwise you could use "back ground for all" cab attached), and serarch in these sites a wallpaper of your taste
stock bacgrounds are stored in \my documents\wallpapers (if I rember the WWE folder name..)

Hola, since your using CHT and Artemis, there shouldn´t be any problem...
Besides what jjollyroger already wrote, maybe I don´t understand your question, but if you are refering to the "turqoise" WP, it´s in the ROM, Windows directory and it´s one of the called "stwater" image files (Default_stwater_480_800.gif & Default_stwater_800_480.gif)
Regarding taskbar and softkeybar, this will depend on the theme you´re using.
If you are using Artemis Greeen Black, then the files are the following:
Taskbar: "art_gb_Taskbar.png", "HTCBlack_taskbar.png"
Softkey: "art_gb_SKBackground.png", "art_gb_SKButton.png", "art_gb_SKButtonDisabled.png", "art_gb_SKButtonSelected.png" and also one "xyz_softkeybar.png" depending on the last theme used (probably "classicblue_softkeybar.png").
For both you can also check in the registry to see which files are beeing used:
1. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar\TaskBarThemeImage
2. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftkeyBarThemeImage
