How do you skin the titlebars of popup non-maximized windows? I saw a screenshot of an error popup with a non-standard titlebar graphic, and mine is just flat black. :/
Most of these are PNG files. So if you go to \Windows on your phone, you can copy all the PNG images to your PC and find the images that you want to skin. It takes a lot of work as some of the file names do not necessarily tell you what they are for unless you plan on skinning on all of them. I thought about it but it was too much work.

I installed the black and red carbon fiber theme from touchblog.com and made my own red icons for the tf3d tabs because I didnt like the grey ones. For the life of me I can't find the manila file for the sprint tv tab, does anyone know the name of this file? I'm using the manila editor and i have checked every file in the windows folder. Or if anyone has the time to send me a cab with the sprint tv icon changed to a red icon for both on,off,preview etc for the tabs then that would be great. I just cant find the manila file unless im overlooking it 20 times

Just look for the exe, as it probably contains the icon, you will need a resource editor though, check out reshack (free) cheers 12
Can anything be done to have a Transparent TaskBar apart from using any Software like Wisbar etc.?
Can it be done by just replacing the .jpg or.png wadever is the file of the taskbar in windows with a Transparent one?
no the images are not as files most of them are located inside dll's
and most formats don't support transparency
can only think of 2 popular ones which does
and thats gif and png
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.
Where do add-on apps I install store there shortcut pictures? I have one app who's quicklink picture looks way old and out of place, but I can't seem to find the picture on my phone so I can change it and make it look more modern.
Anyone know?
well, to answer you question, i don't know where they are stored.
but to change them, i use Change Start Menu Icon. works perfectly and does the grunt work for ya.
cheers.
I found the problem. The app is hard coded the start menu icon into it's code somewhere (like exe files on your pc sometimes do).
Anyway, I found where programs point to their start menu icons in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ProgramName.lnk
This app didn't have a Icon entry like some of the others, so I added one and pointed it to a Icon.png file I had made for it and placed in the same directory the program was installed in.
Powered off the phone and then back on and it's using the new icon.
The only problem I'm having now is making a png file with transparency that works as a start menu icon in sense quicklinks. The icon has it's transparency in the windows start menu and when I click to add a quicklink in the program list. But once added to the homepage quicklinks, the transparency section is visible. I don't understand it. viewing it in the HTC's picture viewer also correctly handles the transparent part.
Anyone have any ideas? Here's three screens showing what I mean. The WM screen, the add-program-to-quicklinks screen and the Sense home screen (running CHT 1.7.1):
BTW, here's the icon image if anyone want to take a look.

delete finch.png file: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.png
Change icon. Add Quicklink!! OK?
There's no finch.png in that directory. There is a program launch file "FinchSync_SP.bmg" in that directory.
The actual program and icon file are stored on my storage card at
\Storage Card\Program Files\FinchSyncSP
album.cache
finch.png
finchconfig.txt
FinchSync_Core.dll
FinchSync_SP.exe
InTheHand.Interop.dll
InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.dll
syncinfo.txt
The default install of FinchSync has the program's icon hard coded, not a separate icon (png) file. If I delete the finch.png file, after a power cycle it goes back to using the default hard coded icon. Put the icon back and it does as I posted above, showing transparency everywhere except as a Quicklink. I've tried renaming the filename and then changing the reg entry outlined above to the new name and same thing.
FinchSynch is an older WM app, but I use it because I can sync my contacts and calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird, Calendar and Address book. I do not have or use Outlook to sync too, so I use FinchSync for this.
I found it. It's not a png file from that directory, but the bmg file.
So it was Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.bmg
Once I deleted that, it picked up the new icon with transparency.

I thought I had posted the screen, but here it is with transparency. Thanks again.
Hello, im trying to use a gingerbread theme for fission 2.4.3. However, for some reason, the insides of the silence sliders are completely transparent and do not have the dark transparent gray of the other sliders.
I've edited the .png files and tried recompiling the theme many times, but when i get to the lockscreen the slider just doesnt move. I just cant seem to get the 9-patch process right.
In other words, i want to use the attached pngs named edit1 and edit2 in place of the original sliders, which are also attached.
any help is appreciated, thanks!

How are you trying to edit the sliders? Those are .9.png files, they need to be edited different than normal .png files, as .9.png files are stretchable....
I use apkmanger 4.9 for extracting/signing/compiling etc.... if I'm only editing .png files or replacing(not editing) .9.png files, I use Simple Tasks section...
If I'm going to edit .9.png files, I use the Advanced Task sections, as they have to be Decompiled and Compiled... you will see a difference in the .9.png files when you do a regular extract and decompile, it needs those black borders/dots to make them work right... I don't get all fancy with my editing, so I use either gimp or paint.net to edit the .png/.9.png files...
I attached the sliders that you are wanting to use.. give those a try.. since you're only replacing the .9.png and not doing any editing, you should just be able to extract the .apk, and replace the sliders....
Good luck...
