I assume they come in zip files. The M2DC (customizerz) should recognize it anyway. So just add theme and look for the zip file wherever its downloaded. Hope that helps

You can't just download the files you need M2DC first. Download the customizer, open it, use restore to back up your default theme and then use add, to add new themes.

rename .zip to .m2dct
Hi
If you get a .zip file with lots of pictures in then don't unzip it, simply rename the extension to .m2dct for example rename example.zip to example.m2dct If you're using Windows you may need to un-check "Hide extensions for known file types" in folder options.
You should then copy your .m2dct files to "\Storage Card\Program Files\M2DC" or "\Program Files\M2DC" depending on where you installed the Manila2D Customiser. You should now see the name and possibly a screen shot of the theme appear in the M2DC Theme tab.
Hope that helps

AND THESE ARE THE ZIPS FOR THE IPHONE

AND THIS IS THE ZIP FOR THE DIALPAD
http://rapidshare.com/files/12980142/Dialpad_iPhone.rar.htm
TO INSTALL IT:
download the rar files, and extract them into your desktop
for wisbar advance desktop:
copy osx_WAD folder to into your pda in Themes/desktop/ folder
(root/Themes/Desktop/osx_wad/)
and click theme settings icon in the settings panel or the load wisbar advance and click desktop, select theme manager and select the osx_wad theme
for wisbar advance:
copy osx_WA folder into stroge card or the ramdisk folder.. click wisbar advance settings in the programs/wisbar advance/wisbar advance settings… select custom theme, press customize and press import theme button.. select the osx_wa.skin file which you copied to where did you want and press ok… it’s done!
for dialpad skin:
copy the cab file into your pda phone and run in file explorer.. select the root directory to install.. and reset the phone
YOU ARE DONE HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!
i already installed it for my wisbar in my dopod838 pro.... its pretty neat but the dialer was givin alot of problems to me like no contact list etc etc.... so i have unistalled it...
what you could do is keep everything else and just not install the dialpad that is why i have the dial pad and the other zips seperate so you have a choice that is what i would suggest

NOTE: go past the pictures on the site i have given you you will come across a section that says download under there you will find the links
wow nice skin. Ca you pls create a VGA version of Dialpad skin?
um i am not shore about a vga version i realy haven't tried i'll see what i can do
maybe im retarded today. i was able to load the wisbar with the cingular on top. but i dont see the theme destop folder on my wizard. i have claunch though should i use that as an alternative? or could guide me through something im missing.
That Happend To Me Once Have You Tried To Load It Again?
need to have the dialer look the same in landscape.. plz fix it
don't know what you are talking about
A few reasons why you cannot see the desktop:
What is in the folder osx_wa it should be two other folder and files, if you have another folder named osx_wa you have messed up the unzip/ extract files (I did this on my first attempt so its easy done).
Do you actually get to select osx_wa when setting the custom desktop in wisebar advance desktop? - if not try this - go to start/ settings/ today and select the today screen to Windows Default - now see if you can see the osx_wa file in WA Desktop.
Try selecting the file again and for some reason it will appear - looks like others have experianced this as well, I found it frustrating at times to say the least - but its worth it in the end. It works well on the Wizard - Mike
just did that and i was able to change my theme. but i only see the three themes that came with my device. where is the theme folder located on the 8125.
Have you installed WiseBar Advance 2 AND WiseBar Advance 2 DeskTop Plugin to the device? - the Desktop plugin creates the theme folder to put the osx_wad folder in to - Mike
got it thanks dude. now i just gotta get the hang of the icons
how do u load the icons. i was able to get the clownfish as my wallpaper and i was able to get the slidelock dock but no slidelock arrow.

1.When you disable TFL3D from Today list, you will see the WM theme on Today,this kind of theme will use *.tsk file.just download it and put it to the "My Documents" flooder of your Device.
2.TFL3D themes will have two way to change it, some of them use Manila file,you have to use Total comment or Resco explorer to copy this kind of file to the "window" of your Device.
or
*.cab file, it just like you install a program,but you must install it to your Device.
3.Don't use Diamond theme for D2, it's not work,and someone said the Touch pro2 theme can be use, but I never try it,and you can try this

Tip for creating cabs:
If you already have HDWall installed (e.g. to make transparent taskbars and softkeybars), you can use the built-in 'create cab' function to create your cabs - this saves installing an extra piece of software...
On the subject of tutorials, I can tell you from experience that creating your own 'digital' clocks is a lot easier than creating your own sliders.
The easiest way to go about creating a new digital clock is:
1. Take somebody else's clock cab (I've attached one of mine to this post)
2. Unzip it (Winzip will do it) to get the original files
3. Re-name the 'working' files back to their original 'manila names' (if you look inside the _setup.xml file, you can see the both the manila filename and the working filename e.g.
<characteristic type="1435ccbf_manila" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Extract">
<parm name="Source" value="FILE0001.001" />
means the file named FILE0001.001 should be re-named to 1435ccbf_manila etc. (note: the xxxxxx.999 file is not needed here!)
4. Once you have extracted and re-named all the manila files, you can use CFC_GUI to extract the PNG images for my clock to use as a guideline to making your own
5. Make your own PNG images
6. Use CFC_GUI again to insert your new images into the manila files
Note: My cab consists of 8 manila files:
4 files for the 4 sections of the clock (2 up and 2 down)
1 background for the clock (see attached screenshot)
1 file each for AM and PM
1 file with the numerals
If anyone is interested in seeing some of the other 'Glass Clocks' I made, you can find them all in this thread:

nice job mate, keep it up, my advice is to take a cab from the site, slider, clock or what ever you want to customize, extract it with wince cab manager (the best cab management software, in my opinion) and manila editor and photoshop can do right about everything to a image the important thig if you take part of some one elses work or inspire to ask permision and mention that you have inspired from that persons work
sorry for the confusion. the green clock and slider is what I,ve done, the lead clock is by dr ammar-jaguaralani.
Ok so I've modified the image files from a slider cab, converted back to QTC's and overwritten them back into the unzipped cab file.
How do I make it all back into a cab?
Got Quickcab.......select all the files from the left window but where to select to put them in the right window?

I thought that was where they always went, but last night I made my cab but when I installed it, nothing changed, tried 2 or 3 times too??
Please take a look at the screenshot below, is that correct? From there just go to "Create cab" right? Or am i missing something?

Did you extract your manila files from another .cab? (If so, have you maybe done it via winzip or something similar?)
The files you copied don't have the correct names... (manila files are always named "xxxx_manila")
If you give me all the files, I could make the .cab for you.
Otherwise, just PM me and we'll discuss this further

Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Help with Changing Clocks CHT

I'm trying to change the analogue clock on my HD2 but it won't change from the default clock (well sort of i've managed to change it from a square one to a round one), i've followed the instructions on moving the file into the device-windows folder.
but there's a file in there with the same name already and it doesn't replace the original file, if i try to delete the file 20F62884_manila it doesn't give me the option, the delete and rename options are not selectable, they are on the file i've pasted into the windows folder but not the original file, is it protected in any way ?
I'm using the file explorer that came with the Elegancia V8.0 Rom is this ok or do i need to use something else...
Many thanks...

Many manila fills are protect to overwrite, changing or deleting!
The easiest way is to use a cab file! It will overwrite and it give you the possibility to uninstall so you get back to the original one!
Ore maybe you can simply used a program called CfC GUI!! Perhaps the most simply way if it is fore personal used!
more explication ore where to find it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798
The file explorer which is on your device will not overwrite protected files.
But, search for "Total Commander" for Windows Mobile - it´s not the "freshest" software, but free, and it *does* overwrite protected files.
To make it more finger friendly, just change to large icons view!
Or, after all, as the previous poster mentioned, use cab files - those will automatically install and overwrite files.
Cheers for the reply's i've used a cab and yep changed the clock, but most of the clocks i've really liked are not as cab's so will try the total commander now, again thanks for the help, much appreciated...
Buggar even with total commander it says unable to delete file
If you will I make a cab for you! Perhaps the easy's way!!
