There is also a program called Manila Customizer that will let you change individual items like clocks, icons, etc. without changing the whole theme.

And this can be put on the Fuze without it being unlocked or whatever? I too am a bit ticked that the demos I saw had the flipping animation and this one doesn't. Cool thing to showoff. Although once its said and done, I think I'll go back to my normal WM desktop that I used on my Tilt.

Is there confirmation that Manila Customizer works on the Fuze?
Yes on Manila Customizer
I have the Fuze and have used Manila Customizer, Diamond TF3d both to change the theme of the Fuze. I found themes in the Diamond theme section, but when I went to all black etc and some of the other themes touchflo performance wen't down, the slider was rapid, but the people pictures took like 5 seconds to come up, same with programs and music.
After spending tons of time on this since Saturday, I've left the ATT theme, and changed things like the icons and slider through Manila Customizer and added some other things through cabs found there to change just specific things like the heroes and bottom icons. This leaves the basic tf3d theme as ATT and it looks completely different, but performance is still all immediate.
If you're a noob like me, you have to read through all the threads in the diamond theme section and you'll start to get good information. FYI, be careful on some of the themes etc., they are for diamond and landscape goes haywire and is basically unusable.

thx for the info.
yeah, this place is bursting with good info and answers... you have to have a solid search tactic and be prepared to read and read and read...18 linked threads later, you have the answer, lol.
Manila Customizer overwrite existing manila?
For those who have use Manila Customizer:
Do it overwrite the manila.exe that comes with the Fuze?
If so, I may need to backup some of those files before installing customizer.
ive been reading up on fuze tweaks and had a question. if you do that process to skip all the bloatware stuff, will you get the att theme still or the normal htc one. if not does antone have just the stock manilla 3d cab so we can just do the bloat skip and install that?
Q. Installed and put in all the folders with the icons, clocks, etc. and for some reason when I check the glass flip clock it just stays at the stock clock. Also, when switching to any other clock, It will keep the time at zero.. Something I'm doing wrong here? Everything else changes with no problem.

Thanks for that report. I had also switched to the HTC Black theme on my Fuze, and found the same slowdowns that you had, no matter what tweaks I applied.
Yea, same here. Seems like that is the only way to get working flip clocks for the fuze..?

I found a couple of things out, maybe this helps. The clock on my standard fuze is called a sprint clock (solid numbers and a rectangle background)? I found the Sprint2flip clock in the diamond thread and loaded it on my fuze and it works without turning everything into all zeroes.
It's in post #178 on this thread. It does mess up the option to scroll up the clock, but I don't really care about that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...420887&page=18
After you have this sprint2flip clock on you can then load other flip clocks and they work. I won't attest to all, it seems hit and miss, but I've put on 7 or 8 different ones and they've all worked so far. I haven't checked that thread in a while b/c I'm travelling so don't know if there's a better alternative.
The wallpaper4all from mUn is the only thing that jacked up my clock to all zeroes and I had hard reset, but I was going to anyway, just fyi.
I would be interested in knowing if anyone finds a fix to get the scroll up working again.

Yea but this don't change the clock or anything. I have been using the program and I haven't noticed a difference enough to warrent uninstallng the theme. Question though, what blacktouchpro theme are you using? do you have a link?

The only thing I hate about my new Tilt 2 is that horrible black WM taskbar. I want some type of more colorful, 3d task bar as well as come better icons. I've researched for the past 3 nights and all i've gotten is a headache. The tsowens taskbars and stuff only change icons. That's my secondary priority...Plus, i want to change some of his icons to a few of the extras he provided. He mentions that there are instructions to do so in another post but i could never find them. Could someone please guide me or show me a better solution? I really don't want to mess up my new Tilt 2...
The icons are all usauly in the windows folder. So get new icons, get the correct file names, download total commander and replace them with that.
About the colour change try UITweaker there is loads of settings for changing colours in there.
Win Mob 6.5
Yes you are right on the part of Windows Mobile 7. It would surely be "game changing". The new WM 7 is designed to be used on devices with touchscreen only with QWERTY keyboards.Even surfing is made easier with "tabbed" browsing, except you can switch tabs by shaking the phone.
Win Mob 6.5
Well, the start menu cannot be customized from the Honeycomb Menu. But let me add a point here, the honeycomb menu of winmo 6.5 is globally recognized as user-friendly menu because it makes the icons more distinguishable.
It would be handy to be able to change the icon location and look, without hacking into the registry.
Titanium today is very cool, but is there another transparent today screen for wm6.5 apart from Manila 2d?
Thanks
Dunno what else you could mean by transparent but there is also Pointui spb mobile and wisbar. They are not so easy to work with. Spb mobile I think, is the easiest and Pointui can be very attractive.

A 1 + for pointui
Throttlelauncher is a good option, you can configure it at your own taste using themes (even Iphone, Android, TF3D, BB, GSmart imitations or some themes specially made by a person or for a person with some useful and nice aspects) or taking some of the themes and making your own one. You can add widgets, flash, and WM-Today plugins into the panels of ThrottleLauncher.
You can do a search here in xda-dev's or go to www.throttlelauncher.com
* NOTE * I experienced some problems running TL if my device is low of memory *BUT* I continue using and recommending it (and trying to put it into my cooked ROMs) - I run it with Kaiser and with Herald both WM6.5.1 now.

Yes, some of the TL themes do have transparent toolbars depending of the PNG's that the theme uses. As they are capable to disable the toolbars of WM you can use full screen themes with their own (or without any) toolbars - where they can be configured as the theme developer, or the user, like to.
Moved this thread outside of Dev and Hacking where it did not belong.
transparancy is possible in wm6.5, means what you want is practically can be done.
Thnx a lot for your replies friends.
In fact i was looking for new today screen with transparent taskbar.
Throttlelauncher can be very good. Will give this a try.
Im going to try and start a thread for collecting some mods and tweaks for Manila .1922 and above since it seems like a lot of tweaks that were collected for Sense 2.5 before actually break under .1922 and in some instances also crash Manila somteims requireing a hard reset.
Here is what i've found so far :
Max Ultimate Theme - This is a great utility for applying a bunch of popular tweaks all at once as part of a theme, has a settings panel to do on the fly customizations... very useful!
There are separate weaks available for BG4All and for the quicklinks, but since Max Ultimate covers most of them.... theres no need for that.
There is however a need for transparencies, such as bottom slider, top curtain, top bar, softkey bar, calendar, etc. These customizations are not applied with max Ultimate and its hard to find ones for .1922 or which ones will work with tha manila version. Changing the cloks is also not clear, you can try MaxTTM but some of the components work with .1922 and most of them dont.
HDWall is also a great utility to play around with some transparenices but does not seem to have a .1922 patch yet.
If you come across your .1922 tweaks, please post them here.
Thanks
Where can I donwload the 1922 from?
I have the default Orange 1919 one.
I know I miss using HDwall...I love windows 6.5.5 and 1922.....sometimes i want to go back...but I wont hope a patch is made soon. Doesnt seem like anyone is even working on it
so, can i get the 1922 on my htc touch orange branded?
how to change themes
and
does this change tf3d or just its colour
Windows themes which are top and bottom bars are under Settings\Today\Themes.
For TF3D you have to find Manila themes that are compatible with your version.
How do I find out which version I have?

i still can't find my manila build

First;
Manila (HTC Sense) is the multi-tabbed UI that is selected in Settings\Today\Items.
In manila if you have;
Program tab = Manila 2.1
Programs on home tab = Manila 2.5
Then you search the forums for themes and tweaks for your version
One thing you will find is that not all manila 2.1 or 2.5 (whichever the case may be) will work because there are different builds within these, eg, 2.5.2011.....
Try going to your settings tab and see if you have "software" and check there.
For themes;
If its a .cab file installation and it doesn't work, you just have to uninstall it.
If its a tweak that requires you to replace files, find the original files in Windows folder first and back them up to avoid a hard reset.
You can find Windows 6.1 or 6.5 themes that will change your system colors and fonts, top and bottom Bars. Manila themes will only change the Manila UI interface, tab icons, clocks, etc.
Hope this helps.
