Ok i will give you difrend guide (proper one):
1. Copy shellres.96.dll from \windows to your sd card (of my rom) and rename it to shellres.96.dll.0409.mui - if you replace the original file for this rom you may encounter unpredicted bugs thats why it is more safe to use mui file
2. Copy the file to your computer
3. Extract original resources to a folder using Resource Tuner(Resource Hacker can not extract them) or a similar program (the resources are icons 8,9,24 - 8 and 9 are exactly the same so you me skip extracting 9 but later you have to replace it too)
4. Open the old shellres.96.dll (you can get it from suns kitchen for example) extract the same resources into a difrend
5. Open the old and new resources with icon editor (i used ArtIcons - open all icons) and copy the new resources to the old ones which will give you old sized icons with new looks
6. Add the resources back to the mui file with Resource Hacker - you can also delete all other resources since they are not needed and they already are in shellres.96.dll
7. Sign the file with SignCode and proper certificate (i used SamplePrivDeveloper because it is privileged one - taken from wm6.1 sdk)
8. Now you can either copy the mui to windows folder or make a cab to do this for you.
setup xml will not work added your way because you add it as file and not as setting - but if you need to you can add it with WinCE Cab Manager as a provisioning xml info and it will add it to configuration
My fixes added to the second post
OK-X-Fix.cab uses the original resources of this build with proper size and they are edited a little by me to have better looks
OK-X-FixL.cab uses large resources - like in the rom but antialiased

Perhaps, you can ask Explode if this guide would apply to other phones.
Good Luck!

i have same problem
well, i also ever got the same problem
Sometimes, HTCHomeSetting.xml is not made to be put on windows folder but on Manilla gfx folder. And that used to be my problem
try to reinstal manilla2D, and use M2DC to backup and restore your default skin, i hope it's work
Your HTCHomeSetting.xml file is messed up.
Here is the stock XML file. Turn off M2D (untick TouchFLO in your today settings), drop this xml file in your windows folder and try reloading M2d.
I always keep the stock XML for instances like this. Even sometimes the restore doesn't fix itm2d issues.

Manilla 2D is the theme and icons the whole bit that i want to get working. Please someone help b 4 i go insain. or point me in the right direction so i can find sum answers. Thanks
What kinda device are you installing this on?
How are you using to transfer the files? Activesync? WMDC? Total Commander?
Are you manually applying the theme or using M2D Customizer?

its a tmobile wing/ htc herald I put the files on my sd card throu activesync and then tryed to copy them to the windows folder on my phone memory. Not sure on how to do this at all I have figured out alot of other stuff just not the theme stuff
You shouldn't have to drop the XML on your SD card. Just browse for the windows folder on your device and drop it in there right away. If it doesn't let you drop it in the Win folder, then I would drop it on my SD card and use software called ''Total Commander''. TM is pretty much a file explorer but will let you change system files that would normally error.
Being I dont know all your circumstances, this is what I would do and how I have it setup on my phone. Works flawless as well. I can change themes in seconds.
If that XML file didn't cure your problems then I'm assuming you have issues elsewhere as well.
First I would remove M2D and reinstall it. Once you have that working again, download and install Manilla 2D Customizer...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
Create a new folder on your storage card and name it ''M2d Themes''. M2D customizer works with a file extension of ''.mtdct'' Some skinners will create there theme's file with this extension for you. It is nothing more then a zip file with the extension renamed.
If the theme's files your trying to install is compressed into zip format, just rename the file from ''.zip'' to ''.m2dct''. Drop the file into your new ''M2D Themes'' folder on your storage card, open up M2D Customizer and browse for the themes ''m2dct'' file you wish to install. Click ''Apply Theme'' and it does all the work for you.
I must have 30 themes in my M2D Themes folder and as I feel the need for a change, I'll load M2D Customizer and switch themes. It's a piece of cake!
Hope this helps.
My icons don't update correctly when I apply a new theme using M2DC...Someone mentioned that there are v1 and v2 themes but I can't for goodness sake distinguish between them. Apparently some hacked versions of M2D will only correctly use v2 themes...Any ideas/suggestions? I have searched all over but can't seem to find a solution other than overwriting the HTCHome...xml file...
I am creating the theme for windows mobile 6.5 using the set of images i have. I am able to create the .cab file which contains all the registry settings ans images. When i install this file to device theme is getting changed but the background image is not getting updated. I am using images with xxxx_stwater_480_800.jpg and xxx_stwater_800_480.jpg with usestartimage key set to 1. But it is not changing the background wallpaper. Also if i renamed this .cab file to .tsk then theme doesnot get change at all. I dont know where i am missing. Plz provide some help..
Thanks in advance,
Sourabh
I think the name has to be stwater_480_800.jpg, not xxxx_stwater_480_800.jpg
At least that's what I use in my theme (and I see it's done in every other themes)
