So I've got the ameo just done all my updates now running WM6.5 With 1.58
Trying to find a good skin/theme but the screenshots of the themes and whats actually displayed on my phone are completely different.
I cant seem to get the look I want.
I'm after that Manila 2.1 thats on the forum but it wont install or run.
I do have a theme installed but the home page widgets dont display properly its just a scroll bar with each section (voice mail, email etc)
Are there specific themes for my device?
First, specify for what the theme should be - Titanium, Manila or OS itself?
Then, instead of opening a new thread, leave a comment in the thread where you got the theme from, so it's more likely to get an answer.
hey thabks for replying I don't really know the difference between the three types but I want the one like that manila
at the minute my today page is a long list of text but I want the one with the big. clock

hello all, first new topic so go easy on me. anyway, i read through a lot of ppl not being able to figure out the transparency slider, but that is not my issue. my issue is i cannot change the today background image period. i can select it, but the today screen never changes. i know it worked the day i bought it, but it does not work now. the only things i have done to it so far was to unlock it and change from the sprint clock to the flip clock. would either of those mess up my ability to change the background image?
It depends if you're doing the today background or the touch flow 3D background. If you have TF3D running it covers the traditional background that is changed in Start->Settings->Today. Instead scroll to the settings tab in TF3D and look for the wallpaper setting there.
I think there is a CAB floating around here that will push the TF3D wallpaper to all tabs.
wow, thank you. i feel like an idiot now that i could not figure that out. i will have to find that cab you speak of b/c this pic looks amazing when used with the sprint theme.
Oh sweet theres a cab that changes all the background? Where can I find that? PS my device is stock non flashed ROM since its corporate.
i am still looking. i found one for the diamond that ppl are trying but it seems to only work on certain roms. i will keep searching as i only like to apply mods that are proven to work.
Go to this thread - there is a link to the CAB file on it:

The link is in post #3 if I'm not mistaken.
slyng1 found the cab that I used. I have NATF's 1.1 ROM (basically the ATT ROM minus the bloatware) and the Black Touch Pro theme installed through Diamond TF3D Config and the cab works great.
Hi.
I have tried some themes i found here but i have a problem;
when i used a theme named "wabbit" i got the rabbit-background in all menus,
like home,mail,settings etc...
BUT when i use others like ohyeahar`s theme or other themes i only get to choose background for the frontpage Home..
When i scroll to mail,weather,settings etc,i get the default black screen.
WHY?
It don`t look nice when i scroll from colorful background in HOME to a black screen on settings.
I also noticed the thumbnails on ohyeahar`s theme is different than mine,cause he has the transparent look in the hole menu.
I have tried go to settings-background,but for some reason only the front page is changing..
This also is for the default theme that came with the phone,if i want to use a yellow flower-background,the front is flower but when i use the slider to the rest,it the default blackscreen...
Help!
Hi,
did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479112
No,never heard of it going to try it now.
Stupid question maybe,but the 2.1 verson is the newest?
Noticed that the 1.0 verson have more downloads.
I`m gonna try the stocklike.
THANKS
I have bg4allTabs_stocklike_2.1 and I get the same background when moving through manilla, I think it's what you're looking for
Did`nt work on my diamond2.
The screen got cut in half.
What ROM do you have? it says "For stock rom with manila 1.3.x u could use mun_background4allpages.cab only".
i have rom-verson 1.39.409.2
Edit: never mind.it worked with the 1.0 verson Thanks
Maybe you could use the search function ? The question you have has been answered quite a lot of times .. The last topic on this page also has a good solution for you ..

I'm using dZenkinZ icon set and whilst I'm happy to use a graphics program to fiddle with an existing icon to make a new one for apps not covered by the existing set (eg Railway Live Departure Boards) I'm wondering if I can apply custom icons to Bookmarks and Contacts on my Home screen.
I've searched the forums, but couldn't see any clues...
Thanks
Anyone? Even just saying "no, it can't be done" would be a help!
bump on this as id like to know also.
E.G - i want to use the custom facebook icon from Dinik's set on my own bookmark of touch.facebook.com instead of just a screenshot of the link. (or any link i have)
I don't know for sure, but I thought it could only be done by cooking it into the rom.
If you want to know for sure wait for a dev or cooker to answer this, or post the question into the rom thread of the one you're using.
yes you can,
in registry HKLM\software\htc\manila\home\shortcut number\iconpath:whatever
delete folder 'proglauncher' from \application data\htc
restart manila
hye,
everywhere on xda I see nice homescreens, how can I get them myself?
I would like to change the background in every tap and maybe set anothe clock... etc.
thanx
Clocks are readily available all over this section of the forum, just search clock and you'll have 100's of options.
Install cookies home tab or max manilla to gve yourself more options...
Different bg's for each tab.............. I've seen a cab somewhere that will display your today screen bg behind all the other tabs but I cant remember where... its in here somewhere though......
Happy searching...............
You have a lot for work to do:
1. Install Co0kie's Home Tab + CHT Editor - MUST haves
2. Install clocks (there are tons, you MUST do a search)
3. If you like to have the same background in all tabs not just home screen, install HDWallS (wallpaper browser) and the correct HDWalls patch. There are a lot of pre-made cabs already but you can always make your own if you install the PC version of HDWalls on your comp. Just search for HDWalls and detailed instructions are there.
4. Check out the LEO TODAY thread so you can see what other people have done and a lot of cabs are there too.
5. With everything else that you feel like doing on and to your phone, I cannot stress enough the you MUST SEARCH first and post a new thread last.
okee cookie home tab v1.8 is realy nice, everything I want
The possibilities for personalization are endless!

First, I will give you the MOST important advice. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a program like SPB Backup (it one is not free, but its restored my phone back to the latest settings i liked)... make a backup of your device and save it on your SD card. You don't want to make a mistake, delete a manila file while modding your phone, then try to remove the mod cuz you don't like it. not all the mods are perfect. Having to HARD RESET, will delete everything and restore you back to STOCK SETTINGS. I've personally done this countless times and spend 3 hours reinstalling apps and setting up my cookie HT icons and email, wifi. its a real pain in the butt. Even SK tools has a backup feature. it takes 4 minutes and it saves your tale! If you're forced to do a Hard reset, just restore your backup. also do another backup when you like the particular setup with mods on your device
You may want to do a little research on HDWalls with Cookies HT 1.8, this gives your device transparent bars top and bottom or simply places the wallpaper behind the whole screen removing the top and bottom black bars. its a very clean look. however you do lose the ability to give every screen its own wallpaper except the start menu.
DINIK's Slider, Keyboard, Phone Dialer, and CHT Clock are highly recommended!!! He also makes all black and white icons come to life with color!
look into transparent mods... there's a ton! i have at least 40 installed. Use BSB tweaks and Touch tweaks.
well what can i say ive never done it before.
downloaded the troutmob orange theme and installed the cab. so like wheres the theme? do i have to select it from somewhere or something?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you tried soft-reseting the device after installation?
Also..You'd probably get better answers as well as faster responses by asking questions in the developers original thread instead of starting a new one.
thanks. first time didnt work then did. but using with cht so dunno if that cause and issue? trying the chts theme too, whats the diffrence?
why does the background look blurry when the image file doesnt? and why dont the images you want to set as your today background never have the option to but the others do?
and also whys the background white on the calendar when the numbers and stuff are too. cant see a thing.
ok I guess im probably the best person to try and answer your questions on this one.....
ill start with the difference between the two versions.
the one from the theme thread contains a lot more files and is a more complete theme off the sense interface, however that does mean it can be a little bit of a pain in the ass to get it set up how you like it.
the chts version which im guessing you got from the link in my sig is kind of a "light version" it only really themes the cht stuff.
my advice would probably be to read up on chtscheduler and use that version. if you want other bits from the full theme then I can make you individual cabs for those.
as long as you have cht2.0 and cht scheduler installed everything should work fine.....
instructions for the chts one are in the thread.
the blurry wallpaper could be down to settings in chteditor, try selecting hq wallpaper mode. im not sure what you mean by options to set images as your today background.
your problem with the calendar is because when we created the theme we were using roms that had black text on the calendar tab and didn't really think about those with white text. tomorrow ill make a black and orange wallpaper for you if you want......
and thanks for using the theme
