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.

Yeah, thanks, meanwhile I have made some search, and found the same tuts
cabbage
my only question is how do you made the cab file?
I use a program called quick cab. real easy and straight forward
I was just wondering if the locks in Co0kies HT were customisable like the analogue clocks. The windows lock in particular could look very nice if the icon could be skinned.
Any idea?
The CHT Lockscreenfiles are manila files:
7A4563E2_manila Windows Slider
24B65A89_manila Background Manila Slider
26082591_manila Windows Slider pressed
50F29E37_manila HD mini Slider
61515C17_manila Manila Slider
They can be changed like the analog clock files.
That's great... Now to find someone who can design custom locks, I'm clueless with that stuff .
Ask Dinik. He already made a lockscreen for Windows and in HD mini style.
Dinik is already too busy with too many projects, he gets tons of requests everyday so I doubt he would have time for this.

Actually, any design that you like can be used as the lockscreen slider. I myself have made a bat slider for the Cookie lockscreen. See screenshot below.

I would like to ask the following :
Tried and replaced the default manila file for slider icon (26082591_manila and 61515c17_manila) with two of dinik slider icons , but I came up with a messed up slider (look at screen shot) ... I assume that the dimentions of dinik icons are different ... any way to fix that ?
Thanks for your answers in advanced !!!
P.S. kangmas ... please link the sun weather icon ... THANKS !
Take the old image in the manila file as a template for the new image. And check the image file in CFC Gui. In "replace" it's the last file as standard. You have to change this. Seems like you took the false image (windows slider and manila slider are different).

Open the old image in your photo editing program (I'm using PaintShop Pro). Then add a new layer for working. In this you have to insert the new images (for example by copy and paste). Then you can adjust the new image over the old. At last delete the layer with the old image and save the file. With CFC Gui you can import the new image in the corresponding manila file. I'll attach the necessary old image files.

Hi mate ... never been good at editing pictures ... I never worked with Paintshop pro or any kin d of software for editing ... so I downloaded it and tried everything in my powers but I really cant get it done. So can you please teach me on how to add layers and replace an image with another ....
If you don`t have time to do this , can you please make me two files for CHT lockscreen ? Thank you in advanced !
Here are the files I need to change :
If you can add the slider background it would be amazing, because when I change the option to Windows default lockscreen in CHT I can`t add the background in any way ... and if I select the Manila style lock I don`t like the slider there.
Thank you very much !

Yeah I think a lot of people are using Anastasia and these locks would fit perfectly. If anyone could skin them to cookies HT that would be great (if dinik doesnt mind of course)

I'll ask Dinik (made it already a little bit modded for myself).
Dinik said, he will make a lockscreen in his CHT theme. We have only to wait some days.
I hope we can get different elements from his theme, I really only want his CHT lock and clock.
Can someone make a skin using the lock from the dusk theme? Also could it be done in different colours?
Manila Slider and background
Can someone please make a cab for me? I can't handle the editing of the manila files...
One only with the background and one with all files (I don't know how the Manila Slider pressed file is named...)
I've attached the images for you:

I've checked out the Buuf theme for iPhone lately and I find it very catchy. I'm sorry because I'm not an iPhone fan and I've only come to know of such theme lately. Can anyone here try to make a complete skin out of Buuf icons and buttons? As if overhauling the Sense UI and replacing all the buttons (ie Sense audio buttons, video buttons, camera etc), sliders (main slider, audio slider, messaging slider etc), clock even miscellaneous tabs (ie settings and everthing within). So... what do you think? *sorry... for being kinda nervous. This is my first request post in Themes and Apps for HD2*
I haven´t seen the Buuf theme for WinMo, but for Android...
However, did you check this great theme here? Not that it is the same, but it somehow seems to have that kind of "design"...

Yeah... I've checked it out. I love these cartoon-ish themes like Buuf and Fallout by StarView. I wish there are more like Super Mario, Zelda and stuff like that. Can anyone tell me which software you need to create a theme for Sense UI? Because I really want to learn to create a theme and pack it into a CAB and share it with everyone.

You can actually make your theme with any graphics software which can save in png format (mainly because of the transparency capability).
Once you´ve done your creative work, you can convert your pictures with m9editor, or CFC GUI, and then use cab maker software to create the installer (there are some free apps).
To make things easier for a start, to learn about manila file namings, resolutions etc., I suggest you take any cab of any theme you like, unpack it (with a program like MSCEInf - CAB Analyzer) and see through all the files with CFC GUI - with all this data, you can jump quickly into theme making.
PPC Geeks have the icons
Popdog54 posted all of Paul Davey's art on PPC Geeks (see link).
All of icons are there. I downloaded them and put them on my HTC HD2 storage card and then used an icon changer to change most of the icons.
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77485
the Buuf theme is indeed very catchy and would look really good on HD2.
ajt320 has already posted the link to the icons.
I also found Buuf-esque slider icons, made by 12aon. Check the post 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437405
The slider icons were made for TF3D, so they should be modified to use in Sense 2.5
and there is also Way Out There Transparent Slider here http://ppcmods.com/sliders.html
the style is quite similar to Buuf's
Cheers
Buuf Theme based on Buuf icons made by Paul Davey (aka mattahan - http://mattahan.deviantart.com/gallery/)
Buuf analogue clocks (Sniper-wolf)
Buuf digital clocks (Rawrscary, Degake, Sniper-wolf+Degake background)
Buuf icons (Rurph) - a mix of Buuf Deuce icons, the shape of iReflect icons and the backgrounds made by popdog54 (ppcgeeks)
To replace icons, you need to use either JWMD or CSMI icon changer. links are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589459. short tutorials on how to use these apps are in the respective threads. once you have replaced the icons, you will need to delete Sense icon cache. for that use Sense Icon Cache Clearer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662233
For the second and third Buuf icon packs, check post 7
For the icon background psd template, check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7237519&postcount=1033
Buuf sliders (Rawrscary with white box1&with transparent box2, Sniper-wolf)
Buuf add-ons for CHT 1.8 + music button fix (Degake, Rawrscary)
Check post 7
Buuf hq wallps/HD wall cabs (Rurph, Franwella)
To have the same background (as on the homescreen) on other tabs, you need first to install the right version of Cookie's patch for the manila version you are using. the patch can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730
After that you need to install one of the hd wall cabs, choose the cab of the image you like and install, you will get the same wallpaper on all tabs + a high quality wallpaper on the home screen
Buuf people, internet, calendar, music, weather tabs (Rawrscary/Degake)
For these tabs, check post 6 (there are all-in-one cabs for manila 1921 and 2012). Those having problems with the robot image not showing up in the calendar tab, try one of Rawrscary's calendar cabs (see post 7)
Buuf email tab, endscreen, volume control (Degake)
For these mods, check post 6

Before installing any parts, please back-up your phone just to be on the safe side
Big thanks to CJ Lippstreu from pocketnow.com for the video review
Frequently asked questions:
Q: Is there an all-in-one cab for this theme?
A: At the moment there is no such cab. The reasons are first, we have made several versions for the same parts (like analogue/digital clocks, sliders), so people can choose the one they like and second, since we are still working on the theme, it is easier for us to deal with any bugs/problems having seperate cabs.
Q: Will there be an all-in-one cab?
A: Yes, once we comlete customising all parts.
Q: Do I need to install Cookie´s Home Tab first?
A: Apart from the analogue clocks/cht-addons, you don´t need, but it is adviceably to get the full advantage of your phone and the theme.
Q: Do I need to have Manila/Sence 2.5?
A: Yes
Q: How to install the parts?
A: Download a zip file to your pc, extract & copy a cab file to your phone´s internal memory or storage card, using a file explorer on your phone find & tap that cab file, install it on the device and then soft reset/restart your phone.

really original, fresh and artistic ... !!!!!
Love it !!!!!!!

Wow! This theme would look awesome when finished!
There is also a matching slider out there that matches. I think it is called way out there or way out there 2. Sumpin like that.
Thank you guys, much appreciate your support
The theme could be ready soon, just need to find an expert who will be willing to customise the taskbar, stock flip clock, slider and any other stuff that can go with the theme

Wow! Looks great so far mate
Hi... I remember requesting a Buuf theme couple weeks back and I'm thankful that some people out here shares the same idea with me. I'm hoping that you'll be able to make a complete theme like the GTX or Fallout theme out here with the slider bar as well. However, is it possible to change the stock icons to the Buuf icons by overwriting the stock ones in the windows folder or something? Because I hesitate to change it with the icon changer software and it's kinda like a waste of space by having an additional software just for the icons? Secondly, I believe by using such app I need the new icon files to be kept in the phone or the SD card. But still I'm happy enough that you're developing a theme based on Buuf. Thank you so much and can't wait for the full release.
Looks different, nice work

Hi leewenxu,
Yeah, I saw the thread you started, even posted some links there
Frankly saying I have no idea whether you can overwrite the stock icons. Personally, I installed JWMD Icon Changer, which is very easy to use.
As regards the free space, yeah the new icons will take some space on the internal memory or storage card, depends where you keep them. I keep them in the storage card and they take around 5-7 mb not more. Even if it was like 100-200 mb, I would still change them, since I couldn't stand the stock icons
But I guess it is a personal decision
Thanks for your support by the way

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
ty so much for help hope will post my slider in next few days
lot of fight with photoshop and hd2 and here it is my first slider not so good or aligned but its first mod I make lol so its great for me
