I have a few questions but this one is the most important for now.
Is there a way to change the height of the images to the bottom of the screen. as in the one of SMS, Phone, Fav., etc. I want to change the height in the settings.ini file but cant find where the setting is.
Also is there a way to have variable heights as in when i press a image i use a completely different pic like a hat when not pressed then a rabbits head out the hat when pressed?
Any help will help..
Thanks in advanced..
I'd suggest looking at the PocketCM forums for this...
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/
i tried but.. there are many who make themes here.. i am sure someone must know what command is used to control the image height of the press buttons on the bottom of PCM..
I found what I was looking for and it worked out perfect ;-)
thanks..
While working on my manila home screen I changed the AM/PM indicator, but now the size is either too big or I need to move the alarm picture to another place (and there is a lot of space left). The problem is that I can't find how to do it. I guess that you need to change in the htchomesettings.xml file, but I don't see where or what the parameter is. Who knows more about these settings?
BTW I have been searching this forum for hours, but I couldn't find any answer.
Thx a lot and happy new year to everyone
Hey Guys and Gals...
Just been messing with the sliders and settled on a grey bar across the top of the slider back ground..
I have a small problem with the alignment on the slider icons.
From what I can tell.. There are two bar icons one that is always present and one that appears as you scroll and changes to the tab that you are selecting.
The The top most is the one that changes as you slid across the bar. This one seems a little larger than the permanently visible.
Does any one know the manila files or a method to change so they are the same size or move the topmost down a couple of pixels.
Thanks
Neville
What did you use to change it? If your using HD Wall then I would say not that I know of since it does all the work for you. If you are using Mode9 or CFC_GUI then you can just edit the picture in photoshop.
I used manila editor to extract the PNG of the slider and changed that...
I'm ok with that part Hence the small grey line above the home icon...
I'm looking for a source that will tell how to change the slider foreground or background icons.
Any Idea?
Thanks
I´m not sure that i understand it right.
But you can use HDwall to create a slider. Put the images in HDwall convert and than you find the manila files in the HDwall programm folder. These you can copy to your Windows folder on your Device.

Hope that is what you want.

I like what you're doing with the slider mate. It's always bugged me the way it is, and what you're doing looks really subtle. Are you planning on cabbing up the manila files when you're done?
johncmolyneux - I may be asking you to cab it
I've replaced the slider with the line above the icon. I – like you – hate the way the slider sits above the tabbar. However I’ve found that making the slider transparent shows that the two icons don’t sit over each other. This has always been a peeve for transparent slider frames.
So I’m now trying to find the foregrounds Icon and turn those transparent, so that it only looks as though there is one icon.
Whilst I’m there I was thinking of making the back ground icons transparent, so that you would only have current tab icon showing, one step at a time...
Thanks for the interest.. here is the slider if you want to try
Not zipped, just rename and remove the ".zip"

It's a simple alignment issue. I found the same issue when I made my sliders. I just use photo shop to make the current tab icon a bit bigger an move it ever so slightly over so that it full covers the lower icon. It's not hard just set the two images over one another in a layer to make sure it will cover it properly before uploading back into manila form.

Do you have any information, like what files sit where (foreground / background)?

If your looking for a list of the manila names and exactly what they do I can't help you there. Depending on the ROM you could have 3 to 4 files that are associated with each tab. The slightly larger one is the foreground image while on the tab. The others are the static,highlighted,and tab selection on the settings page for tab order.
You can go through and change each one at a time till you figure it out or you can wait till somebody responds with the list you are looking for which I don't think will happen. Sorry........
I thought that may have been the case - Thanks anyway - Wanted to do something like this for an ages... will have to mark what the files do when I find them. I'm sure I saw a Wiki page but can't find it at the moment...
Managed to reduce the height on the selector of level one and two.
I know there is a list that will tell you what each manila goes to ie Home,MMS,Email,etc but it will not tell you what it does in relation to the tab as far as foreground,selected,static,etc...
KNows you where that is?
Hey all is there some software that will allow me to re-arrange my start menu items in a straight line
Atm the icons go diagonally in sets of 3`s
Im wondering if its possible to re-arrange the set of 3`s to be in a straight line without the diagonal look
Flame me for saying this...but along the same way the Iphone has them in a straight line
Did you just mention iPhone on the Topaz Forum?!?!?
**flicking lighter**
jk... This may work or you could try quick menu which gives you an expandable windows-like start menu in the top right corner.
or if your unable to find a list start menu cab you could find a start menu 4x4 grid cab and reverse engineer it.
Sorry Bruce My Bad.....Ive recovered from the burns now.
anyway that wasnt what i really had in mine so ive put together some shake and save screenies to give and idea.
The first one shows the way the layout of start menu icons are on my TD2 with it being in a diagonal / upsidedown triangle look
The second one shows how i would like the middle icons to be...in a straight line and together if possible
does any1 know if it can be done.Im assuming there has to be a way as GAz TD2 tools allows them all to be in a 4 row pattern but when i us that feature it makes scrolling really laggy
I split open a 4x4 start menu cab and it shows the following manila files that you would have to edit (LUA and Mode9 editing), however they may be different files for different builds.
07c67730_manila
3b8655d7_manila
5558cdef_manila
652ae0f4_manila
6c219600_manila
7c60907d_manila
In any case, it doesn't appear to be an easy fix. Sorry.
Some alternatives,
Take a look at the "Post your topaz screen" thread. I saw a user using an i*Cough* launcher app that was launched from a HW key that may interest you. You can also achieve something similar by using SecondToday combined with Ultimate Launcher. Then you can scoll your apps with the old Cube animation launching from your LSK.
Hope this helps.
hi, first of all, EXCELLENT WORK on both CHT and CHTeditor. Nevertheless a few change requests
1. does anyone know how to move the retractable slider icon to a corner (similar to Opera). it simply looks silly sitting in the middle of the screen
2. setting a background image using the photo album, does not resize the photo. it seems to take the first 480x800 pixels . Is there a patch/solution?
3. where can I change BG image for the windows lockscreen, ie the image shown as BG in the start menu) (I know it can be done through Manila Settings, but why not from within CHT/editor.
4. winmobile does not seem to be able to handle subfolders when selecting a background. e.g., \wallpapers\portrait, \wallpapers\landscape and \wallpapers\widelandscape exist. If I point CHT to \wallpapers I'd love to see these subfolders.
5. I'd love to have 6 rows of quicklinks (there's more than enough room). CHTeditor does not allow it, probably direct regedit will allow it, but has anyone tried this?
6. similar to selecting quicklinks in 4 or 5 row, can the start menu look be changed from CHTeditor to look the same (not NOT hexagonal, but square).
7. even though CHTeditor is configured NOT to lock the screen when pressing close button (option 2), CHT screen lock activates every time. why?
TIA for your time.
no disrespect, but i think you will get a better answer, if you post this on Cookie's thread. I doubt he or any other dev involved in that project will check this thread.
