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)

Are you i=using a kitchen? If so you need to dig out the default on that should be in sys/os i think!!! Replace the 2 files in there and when you flash you should have it as the default!
i am using ingenetics kitchen, yep i know but there is no Windows Default.tsk in SYS/ROM
look for default_stwater*.bmp . Thats your background for the default theme. You then have to update all the registry entries for this, and that will be in a .rgu someplace. Go pull apart a .tsk file (any program that can pull apart a .cab can do a .tsk (since its really a cab)) and look at the settings there.
ok will try this, thx

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.

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...

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 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

Hi all,
I totally love Jumba's Bluesteel theme but unfortunatelly it's in WQVGA and I need QVGA. So I thought I change the images that didn't fit and create a own cab file to install the files.
I made a cab file with all image files and the xml file I need and I can install the theme once. The theme works fine but if I want to install a theme again I get the error message that the installation failed because I don't have the needed system authorization.
For the attributes of the files within the cab file I used a different theme I downloaded (I don't have a problem with this theme).
Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? At the moment I can only "fix" this with a hard reset.... but that's not a really good solution for me.
My "system":
- HTC Touch2
- WinCE CAB Manager
I hope someone can help me.
Bye,
Caessa
