It's not only one animated picture, it includes background picture and a few manila files which makes animation.

Is this true? They look like just png files to me. Which manila files control the animation. I may take a look to see if we can figure out how to create new ones

I want to crate one, but first I want to know the structure. Probably it is PNG file, then manila file controls layers with some scripts.

e.g. qtc files 0fe731fb_manila, 1f3e9503_manila, 4f9f64c9_manila, 286717a1_manila, 004e6c19_manila, 00729d1b_manila, and other. I saw there is mode9 file as well. These are from dutty's Leo R3. Use m9editor and manila 2.5 name list.

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.

cabbage
my only question is how do you made the cab file?

I use a program called quick cab. real easy and straight forward

blank manila slider ?

Hey guys,
i just wanted to know if there is a cab that hides the manila slider at the bottom of the homescreen. i already have a transparent background for that bar, but i want the icons to not to be visible.
can anyone help me?
thanks in advanced!

Then edit a manila slider .cab with png files which are empty.
Use manila editor to explore an unzipped .cab and edit the images with the grafix editor of your choice. Leave the icons alpha blending blank and you have what you want I guess. Pack the files again to .cab with IZArc (including the .xml and stuff of course), move and apply. Try it. Not sure if it works.

Why would he want to go through all that if he could just load a program like Cookies Home Tab or MaxManila that would give the option to drop the slider into a hide button plus several other options.

Dunno. Maybe he wants to slide it but without icons. Just to have a dimmed screen with labels.

How do i install themes?

Sorry guys but..how do i install themes in WM 6.1
Best regards

6.1 is very old and most of the themes that you will find here are for 6.5 and up.

what do you mean by THEME? what theme do you want to install? maybe it's not for winmo 6.1 at all. or maybe it's a shell theme.
sorry for my bad english

you will find some .tsk files, which are standard themes for windows mobile 6.1
to install such files, simply put them in the "windows" directory, or directly on the root of SDCarte or additionnal memory. Then you can go on the phone settings, in the "Today" options and select which one you want.
A .tsk file is a kind of .cab file.
A .tsk file will change colors of menubars, maybe colors of fonts too, background picture too, this by modifying registry and copying pictures.
If you don't take the .tsk which fits your screen resolution, you will not see the picture in background.

[Q] help with slider

hi guys wanna ask someone to give me some hints how to make my own slider icons I tryed several tools editing manila files tryed to replace files but nothing happends is someone have some advice or some good post would be great

one more question I figured it out that hdwall manila files that are in slider maker are not the same as mine manila files my manila is 2016 can I do something about it its easyest way to make slider icons

youhave to pull out the manila files that make up the slider.
use cfc_gui to convert the manila files to png, save to desktop edit and then convert pngs back to manila with cfc_gui

I just found some post that tells me that I need to use graphic tool to make pngs on right place uper left for slider and I used cfc tryed to upload in manila some random icon on place of big icons but got fail msg.IMPORTANT.....DO I NEED TO MAKE SAME PNG SIZE 256X256 FOR BIG ICONS AND 128X128 FOR SLIDER ONES OR I WILL GET FAIL MSG AGAIN????????IS THAT DEFAULT HOME TAB SLIDER ICONS SIZE AND MUST BE LIKE THAT???(((I riped 2 costum sliders by other artist and know what manila files need for editing just need this info and looot of luck with photoshop didnt used it ever lol

yes they must remain the same size (very important)
lol yeah photoshop is a necessity but you can try gimp. although I don't know how thorough it is.
also remember to place png graphic in same place on canvas or else it won't be aligned correctly.
good luck
