TUTORIAL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Setting up English Language.
Download the Theme Editor and Run it.
first time it may have the interface in chinese. So here is how to change it :
Creating an New theme
Go to Fle > New Theme
and you will see the window below. In put the name of your theme and save it.
Then you will see the following window. ( Description in screen shot )
Buttons
All the buttons are self explanatory but i will add some description where needed
Save : This is to save the changes made to the projects.
Generate full MTZ : This is used to compress and make the mtz file of the theme project to be used in phone
Apply Recent Changes : For this and next option to work your phone must be connected to PC. this option apply the recent theme changes to your connected phone (Useful when testing a smal change).
Full apply: This option apply the Full theme to your Phone.
Reload: This option will discard unsaved changes and will load the theme from theme directory (added PNG's Will stay there, will be explained later)
Setting: Have only option to copress the font if you want.(Have'nt used it).
Different Tabs and their Functions
Now Some information about diffrent Tabs and options on them.
Description Tab: Already explained in screen shot shown above.
Icons Tab: This tab is used to add icons to theme.When you click on the icon tab it have three further tabs, System icons, Default theme icons and Others. Before you proceed further Click on Sync button at the bottom of the icons. (Your phone must be connected in debug mode to the PC) This sync option will get all default icons from your phone including 3rd party apps. Now to change any Icons check below.
on the default theme icons tab there are some default 3rd party icons avialable in theme editor and others tab have the icons repalcement option for apps installed in your phone. procedure is same for all three tabs
Note. you dont need to rename your icon, Progran will do it for you! just drop it to the proper place.
Thats it if you just want to creat new icon pack. Just click on create full MTZ button and copy the mtz file to your phone and import it to theme manager or just click complete apply to your theme. But if you want to theme your Apps and change text colors then read on
3. Modules tab: This tab is the most important tab for themeing MIUI.
Creating New App Module
Here is how to create the App's theme module.
As an example I have selected the Contacts module (only one module at a time). you will see screen shown below , if different then click "change edit mode" button.
Now click on the first item in the folder view and follow the screen shot. again names of your png's does not matter. you have to go through all the view and find the red boxes, click on it and replace the png's you want to change. If you want to keep the system default png just leave it blank.
For modifying PNG's you can use the V4_templete (link at top) png's as a refrence. you can edit them to your requirements and then use them.
Changing the text Color
To change the text colors of the module items, click on the "change edit mode" button while contacts module is stille open. see bellow.
Important
Do the same procedure for all the Modules and modify PNG's and color's in it. Framework-miui-res and Framework-res are most important modules. Changes in Framework-miui-res effects all the MIUI applications, especially colors and Changes in Framework-res module can effect both MIUI apps and any other 3rd party app so be careful !!!! you might get white on white color problem.
Testing
Now its time to test your theme before release/share. You should test all the MIUI apps for proper theming as well as 3rd party apps for color problems. If you find any problem then just reopen or drag drop you theme directory on Theme Editor to reopen /edit your theme.
Editing *.9.png files
First you should understand what are 9-patch or *.9.png files
This is a good description on android developer
Editing is not so difficult as we dont have to compile the 9.png's for MIIUI theme editor. It it required for AOSP android themeing but MIUI Theme editor do it automatically.
So here are the steps
Take any old 9.png file and open it in any Image editor mensioned in the first post
First thing you will notice, is a black line at the right and bottom of the image. and a dot or small line at the top and left side of the image. you need to remove these lines. actualy you should crop out these one pixel lines from the image.
Or you can just create a new image.
Modify the png file the way you want and save to your computer.
Now open that image into Draw-9-Patch tool or NinePatchTool( I recomend later because its too tedious to draw borders in Draw-9-Patch )
Open the modified file the patch editor.
Draw the content and strech borders, (if you dont under stand it then just made the borders like in origional png)
save it and Use it in theme editor
Creating Dynamic ICONs for MIUI V5 Themes
Creating MIUI V5 Dynmic ICON is very easy and it Follows the Lock screen Variables syntax. you need to put your manifest.xml and ICONs in following folder, for example in case of calender
Icons
| __ fancy_icons
|__ com.android.calendar
manifest.xml follow the same syntax as the lock screen manifest.xml. so its easy. for example for callender you need to put following code in the manifest.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- calendar -->
<Icon version="1" frameRate="0" width="136" height="136" screenWidth="720" useVariableUpdater="DateTime.Hour">
<Group pivotX="68" pivotY="68">
<Image x="68" y="68" align="center" alignV="center" src="calendar_icon.png" srcid="#date" />
</Group>
</Icon>
I am included some examples for Deskclock and Notes dynamic ICONS. The Deskclock ICON will show the Analog time on the icon and Notes Icon will shou the text from your Notes. Amaizing .You just need to put the folder in icons folder of your theme following the above said folder format and just compress it and apply.
A little about useVariableUpdater
This system variable let you control that how often your varilable (Icons in our case) shoud change. for example in case of caleder it is enough to update once a day. but for deskclock icon it should be updated every second.
Supported values are : Battery, DateTime.Day, DateTime.Hour, DateTime.Minute, DateTime.Second
less often is the better to save resources. If your Icon doesn't depend on time or battry put useVariableUpdater = "none".
MIUI V5 Theme Filter Feature
It been a big problem for theme maker when some of unwanted contents and text color get themed and give you problem. NOT ANY MORE. now you can put a filter in framework-miui and put the packege name you want to theme. other packages will remain safe. So no side effects. for example
put the follwing code in filters.xml file and put the file in framework-miui-res folder of your theme.Themes are getting better and better for MIUI V5.
More detail
You need filter to only allow certain apps to use themes resources from "framework-miui-res" Module and avoid all other application to use ur themed resources from "framework-miui-res" module, it has nothing to do with package's independent folder files .
To do that you create a filter file as shown below and put it in "framework-miui-res" module folder and then make another folder with any name you want for example "myframework"
Dont put any other file out side that (myframework) folder except the filters.xml file and then put all the themed files of "framework-miui-res" into "myframework" folder (the res folder and theme_values.xml). Now include the "myframework" name in the filers.xml path line as shown below.
<filter path="myframework">
and the whole filters.xml file may look like this depending on packages you choose.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MIUI_Theme_Filters>
<filter path="myframework">
<package>com.android.contacts</package>
<package>com.android.providers.contacts</package>
<package>com.android.deskclock</package>
<package>com.android.fileexplorer</package>
<package>com.android.mms</package>
<package>com.android.packageinstaller</package>
<package>com.android.providers.downloads.ui</package>
<package>com.android.providers.media</package>
<package>com.android.settings</package>
<package>com.android.systemui</package>
<package>com.android.thememanager</package>
<package>com.android.updater</package>
<package>com.miui.antispam</package>
<package>com.miui.home</package>
<package>com.wali.miui.networkassistant</package>
<package>com.android.phone</package>
</filter>
</MIUI_Theme_Filters>
and your "framework-miui-res" folder diretory structure may look like this
mytheme
|
|--com.android.contacts
|
~
~
|--framework-miui-res
|
|--filters.xml
|
|--myframework
|
|--theme_values.xml
|
|--res
|
|--drawable-xhdpi
|
|--drawable-hdpi
Now because of path varible in filters.xml only the packages included in the filters will have access to resources inside myframework folder.
Please Note that for packages folder itself work like before, you dont need to move them into "framework-miui-res" folder. You just need to add the package name in the filter list of filters.xml. and you can still theme any package which is not included in the filter list, But important thing is it will not be able to access the files inside the myframework and will use stock files instead if needed any.

Yes, no problem. Uninstall the way you do with other programs.

Once again:
New slider tab icons, based on a set for Manila 2.0/1 by xchris (pocketpc.ch). Thanks.
Now for HTC Stock ROM WM 6.5 Sense 2.1:
Stock Manilla 2.0 Icons
Hey Tatsch,
What program are you using to make custom sliders for Sense 2.1
I'm looking for a slider with the original stock Manilla 2.0 Icons. I can provide images of the icons if needed.
Thank you!

I did it manually by editing the pictures with cfc-gui and image editing software.
Maybe there is a tool which is easier to handle, I don't know. It's difficult meanwhile to understand which version of which tool can handle which files of a ROM.

Here we go
Look into the attachment, you will find the original stock icons by HTC in 3 folders with 12 manila files within each:
- Icons normal: The inactive base tray icons
- Icons activated/selected: The icons which appear when you tap it with the slider
- Icons big: Big icons which appear in the middle, when you slide through tabs.
In the first cab above "MichiTabIcons3.cab" the selected icons are 10% bigger than the normal base ones. In the second cab above "xchKastengrau" the selected icons were not bigger than the normal ones. Looks better for these choice of icons.
Important: HTC Sense displays the actual number of the day with black font in front of the calendar icon. So beware! There must be enough bright space for that feature.
I'm also intrested in creating new images for me.

Thanx.
One question how can I open the files, what format are they in?
i've tryed to rename them to png but i was unable to open them with a image editor.
You need a tool to convert manila files <-> png-files:
[APP] CFC GUI - THE Manila/TF3D Image Editor - xda-developers
Download there "cfc-gui-only-0.60.35.zip", then unzip and start the tool. It's easy to do: You can load manila files, convert them and replace them later with different own png-files.
GREAT JOB ,

I absolutely LOVE these slider icons... but I cannot get the icons to show up when they're highlighted. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm not using stock ROM but using EnergyROM "Photon" 23504 if that helps any. Thanks.
I assume I have to go in and change the "activated" icons in the manilla files, but assuming usually makes an ass out of me.

Create custom FlipFont files with font preview and icon.
*At present this only works on Galaxy S phones, but should work if FlipFont is ported or released on other devices*
Why do we need to jump through hoops?
It seems that the fonts in the MonoType apks on the market are digitally signed. This is what is preventing the use of any old font being added to an APK. I believe the FlipFont app is looking for the digital signature in the font within the APK. If its not there, it does not use the font and reverts to using the default font. It MAY be possible to edit the FlipFont APK so that it no longer looks for the digital signature. This should allow us to use any font without jumping through hoops.
If you can find the FlipFont Apk please post its location or better yet PM me with its location. If your really feeling spunky ADB pull the file off your phone and post it here, so we can take a look at it.
Lets trick FlipFont. Heres what you need.
Apk Manager 4.8 found here. This will allow you to decompile and edit the APK attached at the bottom of this link. Dont worry its much easier then it sounds.
FontCreator 30 day trial found here. This is a windows only program. If you know of a cross platform, open source or FREE font editor please let me know. The one on source forge is not stable enough for use at present and its install needs its own walk through.
***Link for FontCreator has been downgraded to version 5, which will allow you to save fonts during the 30 day trial, unlike version 6. Thanks sigeltek***
Photoshop or Gimp. Note you only need this if you want to edit the icon file for the app. I will not go over editing the icon in the walk-through, this should be pretty self explanatory.
Digitally Signed Monoglyceride font found here For some reason Mediafire sees this as a jpg file. Click the download this image button in the link and you will see its actually a .ttf file. ODD :ºp
The Monoglyceride APK attached at the bottom of this link.
Walk-through editing the Monoglyceride font with FontCreator.
Open the Monoglyceride.ttf font with FontCreator
Open the .ttf font you want to use.
Make note of the number of Glyphs at the bottom right side of FontCreator when you have your font selected.
Click the Monoglyceride font window in FontCreator and choose edit>select all at the top of the program.
Hit delete on your keyboard. This should delete everything in the Monoglyceride window.
click Insert>Glyphs... at the top of the program
type in the number of glyphs your font has in it and hit ok. You should now see a bunch of empty glyphs in the Monoglyceride window.
Now switch back to your font and again hit edit>select all
Hit edit>copy
Swith back to the Monoglyceride window and click edit>select all... and then edit>paste special...
This will open up the Paste Special window. Put a check in every box in Item section and choose "Add Mappings" in the mappings section and then click OK.
If this worked properly you should see all of the characters and mappings from your font in the Monoglyceride.ttf window.
Close your fonts window in FontCreator
Click File>Save as, rename the Monoglyceride.ttf with the name of your font.
Thats it you now have a digitally signed font. If you want to double check, open the new font in windows and you should see that the font is still technicaly the Bauhaus font, but it now contains your fonts characters. :º)
*** eweo911 has just informed me of a quick way to resize the font if it is too large. You can check to see if its too big by double clicking on one of the glyphs after preforming the Paste Special section of the instructions above. Its best to choose one of the uppercase letters. If the glyphs image goes above the guide shown for cap it WILL be a large font on the phone. These guides are set in the perfect position for our phones screen.
Here is the quote from eweo911:
I have figured out how to make the fonts smaller so you can adjust them to fit the screen better. Not sure if anyone else has done it yet but here is what I did.
After you do the "Paste Special" in font editor (per Ritalins how-to), you will need to make sure all of the glyphs are highlighted in the new font. Yiou will then go to "Tools" and then "Glyph Transformer". Once there, you will select the "Selected" button, then under Available Features you will expand the Outlines tree. Select scale and then you will have two variables for Outlines-Scale. Choose an integer that you want to test with and then hit "ok". Save as your new font name and that should be it.

Walk-through editing the apk with Apk Manager 4.8
Download the monoglyceride.apk listed below.
Copy the apk into place-apk-here-for-modding folder in the Apk_Manager_4.8 directory.
Run script.bat and choose option 9
Open Apk_Manager_4.8\out\assets\fonts in explorer
Replace existing monoglyceride.apk font with the .ttf font you edited in FontCreator
edit all XML, yml and smali files to include the font name or font.ttf depending on the entry in the original file. Just replace monoglyceride in these files and folder with the name of your font. Pay attention to capitalization in the existing files, and make sure to do the same when replacing with your file name.
Edit the last folder name in the smali folder tree from monoglyceride to the name of your font
Edit the icon.png in the drawable folder with one of your own.
Compile apk - option 11
Sign apk option 12
Check the Apk_Manager_4.8\place-apk-here-for-modding folder and you should see repackaged-signed.apk along with the original monoglyceride apk. Rename your new signed.apk file the same as the monoglyceride one and just check the name at the end with your font name. This is not REALLY necessary, but do it for consistency sake.
install apk on your phone
This might take you about 30 minutes the first time you run through it, but after you get accustom to the steps you should be able to bang through it in about 10 minutes.
Well here you go, here is my first custom FlipFont APK.

If you create a font with these instructions, please share it with the community. There is a thread in the Vibrant theme section found here.
Save this thread as a favorite or subcribed thread and you can easily view it and download the fonts in the XDA tapatalk app on your phone.
You will need Astro or Linda file browser to be able to download the fonts from your phone.

INSTALLATION:
1.- Search in windows directory & copy in your SD the file 7c60907d_manila. It is very important to have a back-up of this file if something goes wrong.
2.- Download Poy6BG_Home.mode9.rar and copy one file 7c60907d_manila to windows folder of your device, accept overwrite and restart sense. Which 7c60907d_manila file? inside the zip is 3 file 7c60907d_manila (home.mode9) This file had to be modified to get Poy6BG behind any other widget (I will explain later), I have upload 3 modified versions (original, no line in flip clock, no line in flip clock + colon) you choose your favorite. All inlcudes fix for 20 widgets working at the same time. If you have other different home.mode9 (fix for more than 20 widgets, etc) i will explain later the small changes i did, so you can try yourself or post it here and i will try to do it.
3.- Get free slot0 for Poy6BG. Look in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.WidgetAddons.Slot0 and uninstall the widget actually installed there (you can install it later in other slot). It is important that Poy6BG be installed in Slot0, so it will be behind any other widget.
4.- Install Poy6BG.cab, activate it in edit mode>add new element>Poy6BG. This widget comes in 3 widths: full screen, half screen and personal width (to be set in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Poy6BG.Width); configurable opacity from 100% to 25% each; is resizable in height (up&down); and pinneable.
5.- It comes only in black color, if you wish to use another colors you have to edit the file 1E0E70D5_manila
Kitchen:
Download the full widget kitchen from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10718996/Poyensa Public Cab/Poy6BG/Poy6BG.rar
You can edit, modify and change anything in the widget. Just be sure to follow Co0kie instructions.
KNOWN ISSUES:
I have tried a lot but I couldn't get Poy6BG behind the co0kie-music player, the co0kie-textclock (date-clock-alarm), the notification icons and the page indicator. The rest of the widgets i have tried are over the background (quick & free links, clocks, weather, email, sms, etc). Feedback is much appreciated.
I also have some problems of overlaping if there is an empty slot in the middle (to have widgets in slots 7 & 9 but not in slot8)
Thanks to Dunc001 for his greats ideas and tests. And of course to co0kie monster for the Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0
Enjoy this small present for the Three Kings I wish a happy 2011 full of widgets and plenty of nice themes
UPDATE uploaded CHTwPoy6BG_v2.cab full config, needs JMLMenuSense for menu settings.
FIX uploaded CHTwPoy6BG_v3.cab use any texture in PNG format, located in SD or device, as basckground.
home.mode9 modification
I was trying to understand why some widgets are shown over others. I starting point was this thread of rat_2665 in which he makes a great explanation about the relation between the order of elements in mode9 files and the way the objects are displayed in the screen.
So I try to follow this rule and modify the file home.mode9, which set all the elements to be shown in the home screen. The idea is simple: put at the begining of the file the lines related to slot0 and force Poy6BG to be installed in slot0
The modification in home.mode9 consist in find every component where is defined Slot0 and bring it up to to begining of the file.Then force the widget to be installed in slot 0. Aditionally I have also done this modification in the special Slot DevMode. I tested and it (partially) works for me, so I share this experience.
EDIT: the screenshot shoud say ... tip: keep pressed "shift" (arrow up) and cursor up or down, you can move the objects in the tree ....
Not many changes were done. The changes are inside <LibraryManager> lines 5AAF567A9 = value='CHTwidgetDev.mode9' & 5AAF567A9 = value='CHTwidgetSlot0.mode9'
And also inside <Library> bringing up all the <Character>type = 'ComponentClipCharacter' where Slot0 & DevSlot is contained
Thats the reason of many differents 7c60907d_manila (home.mode9 file) I have made this modifications in some files i have but may be many others files 7c60907d_manila that has to be modified in this way to get Poy6BG working correctly on them.
Anyway the investigation is not finished beacuse some widgets as co0kie music player, co0kie textclock (date-clock-alarm), notification icons, page indicator and CHTS icons are always behind Poy6BG, so there is something to discover yet Please post your feedback, if possible include a list of installed widgets and asigned slot in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.AddonWidgets.SlotXX

Great work again

Be sure to follow this steps:
1.- Safe copy of actual 7c60907d_manila
2.- Copy new 7c60907d_manila in windows folder, accept overwrite and restart sense
3.- Get free slot0 by uninstalling the existing widget there
4.- Install Poy6BG (be sure it has been installed in slot0)
5.- Be sure to have no jumps (slots free) in the middle of the registry HKCU\Software\Manila\CHT.AddonWidgets.SlotXX (every slot should have a widget)
With this rules is working in my HD2 manila 2.5.2016. I have test with a lot of widgets (but not all!) In case you still having problems post a list of widgets including in which slots are they installed.

Go to edit mode, keep pressed the widget to open the widget menu and select pinned. May I can do another widget Poy6BGbis then we can have 2 BG in the same screen. But then it has to be modified the order of slot1 in home.mode9 file

I only want to know what is this widget?
Thank you
Not much, just a free background to put where you like in the home screen, behind other widgets. Needs CHT2.0 to work.
poyensa Thanks for your kind reply
You really is a genius
I will continue to focus on all of your thread
Thanks Poyensa for sharing your genius with us all yet again! All of your widgets imo are simply amazing! I noticed you posted "It comes only in black color", so here's my small contribution.. I edited the 1E0E70D5_manila file to add different colors for others to use with different themes. I made them in blue, gray, green, red, and white. If there are any other colors anyone would like I'd be happy to edit it for you. Thanks again for sharing this with us poyensa!
In order for these to work you must have Poyensa CHTW_Poy6BG installed first. To get the desired color simply copy the 1E0E70D5_manila, from the zip, to your windows folder overwriting the original. Also contained in each zip is a png(preview) of the color
I have been testing this widget now, for a couple of days, and it really looks amazing^^
But I do have one issue, that I cant seem to get rid of. Everytime I restart my device, or sense, the widget shrinks to its original size before I transformed it in height. It is installed exactly as you told me, I checked all of it. Reinstallation didnt do anything.
thanks for the feedback Nordpol, i have also noticed that, and the change on height in all levels when it is changed in one. I will look on that deeper.

Hello, xda community!
I recently published on Android Market RLW Live Wallpaper Free, a high tech wallpaper with one unique feature: it's the first Live Wallpaper with Third-Party themes support, just like ADW Launcher, Go Launcher Ex or AudioManager Pro.
Here's some images:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Actually RLW is doing pretty fine on Android Market (4000+ downloads in a few days) but it can grow even better with *more themes*!
You can find the THEME TEMPLATE in the attachment below!
Development of RLW Themes is really simple!
During development you can set:
1- Circle images
2- Background images
3- Images scaling
4- Background Scaling
It's all in the README - HOWTO file contained in the Template, here's a copy of it:
-- RLW Theme Development Howto --
Creating a theme for RLW is really simple, you just have to follow the instructions below.
The folder included is a Template, it's an Eclipse Project.
1) EDIT PACKAGE NAME:
Your theme package name needs to be "com.rlw.theme.yourthemename" (without quotes, substitute yourthemename with your theme name). This way the theme can be found on Android Market by RLW.
2) IMAGES:
You have to put images in res/drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-ldpi folders, in ALL of them.
The circles images size is 512x512 px. However you can use 256x256 images in drawable-mdpi and drawable-ldpi folders: remember that doing so will result in low quality images for mdpi and ldpi devices, so using 512x512 images is strongly recommended. USE ALWAYS POWER OF 2 SIZES (128x128, 256x256, 512x512...).
There are 7 circles images (circle0, circle1,..circle6). You need to include all 7 images, if you want you can leave transparent the circles images you don't want to be displayed.
The circles images MUST be PNG-24 with transparent background.
The background image (background) correct size is 1024x1024. You can use both JPG and PNG. You MUST include a background image, even if you don't want to use it: in this case, you can provide a small, transparent image, this way it will not impact your theme weight. The background image must not contain transparencies.
3) CONFIGURE THEME SETTINGS:
Theme settings are included in res/values/theme_settings.xml file.
Here's a brief description of the fields:
* app_name = Name of the app, to be displayed in Android Task Manager
* theme_name = Name of the theme, will be displayed in Rotating Wallpaper theme chooser dialog. Please don't insert "Rotating Wallpaper Theme" words in this field. Use short names.
* RGB_R, RGB_G, RGB_B = these are the values of Background Color, which will be displayed if you set use_background_image=0; The color form is RGB (0-255, 0-255, 0-255). For instance, let's say you want to set RED as background color: the RGB form for red is (255,0,0), so you will set RGB_R=255, RGB_G=0, RGB_B=0.
*use_background_image = set it to 1 if you want to use the background image, else set it to 0. If 0, Background Color will be used instead.
*size_background_image = if you use a 1024x1024 background image, you should leave this untouched. If you use a smaller or a bigger image, use this field to edit background image scale. Keep in mind that for landscape mode, the size of the background image is automatically increased by 0.8f. Use float values (for example 1f, 0.8f, 5f), remember the final "f" which indicates float!!!!
*scale_modifiers_circles = this is a stringarray containing 7 modifiers for circles sizes. If you need a different scaled circle, you can add a modifier. Use float values (for example 1f, 0.8f, 5f), remember the final "f" which indicates float!!!!
Note: The theme contains an empty Activity. You can use it at your pleasure to sponsorize your other apps!

Heh. By this template I can create themes for RLW app thats the answer
Pandik.
Develop
Hallo. I created some RLW templates for "Pro" version of Your livewallpaper and have some sugestions how to inprove Your product:
1- insert possibility to set default number of circles and rotation speed by edit theme_settings.xml
its rly important coz will help to create more interesing themes (with static objects) and final user (with pro version) will get full product without any enterings in settings and manage circle rotations. Belive me, ppl dont wanna to manage to much, if I show them movie with my RLW theme they wanna to get same effect just by instal theme, nothing more.
2- i think that png transparency isnt supported for 100% coz all gradients or objects with alpha chanell are displayed as plain grey, with transparency but with no defined color.
Look for answer from You mate.
cheers
Pandik.

Hi boys n girls
I just wanted to start a little thread for displaying and downloading dropdown curtains for those using 3Minit mod / Wanam Xposed and any other utility that lets us change colours and images within the framework. Thanks to Gary Harrington for 3Minit and Wanam for Wanam Xposed
Officially authorised DropDowns
Omega Rom post #37
Echoe Rom post#38
Foxhound Rom post #6
3Minit mod post #35
GoldenEye Rom post #39
Black iLLusioN Theme add-on post #51
Wanam Rom/Xposedpost #67
Hopefully more to follow.....:fingers-crossed:
BY REQUEST
I will be open to making individuals curtains up by request through PM!!!
Time permitting and with no ETA's (depending how many i get i suppose) i am happy to make images up for you to download and apply.
I will be using Photoshop Touch for this, which is slightly limited, but does a good job as you will see.
You can help by - providing icons or logos with a transparent background so they can be easilly added to your chosen style of background - ie carbon, plain, checked - you tell me???
Its YOUR curtain - YOU decide
They are relatively easy to do and i can change translucancy of the backgrounds etc to suite - your instructions must be clear though.
Im sure many others are more than capable of this so feel free to post and share your own images up :victory:
Use Them at Your own Risk......
Samples
CLEAR BACKGROUND - ( Colour transparency/ faded sections etc all possible )
PATTERN BACKGROUNDS
Status Bar Screen shot.....
Thats just a couple of samples......see instructions below then download and share what you wish!
Thanks for taking interest.....Credits in post 2
Instructions with images and Thanks!
Instructions to install
1. Make sure you have a Rom installed with no theme
2. Download and flash the 3Minit Framework zip (back up always suggested!) See the origonal thread for instructions and links
3. Install the 3Minit App
4. From this thread > long press on the curtain you desire > select "view image" > long press on the image that should now be on its on web page > "save image"....... the image will save as a png and should be able to view in your gallery (the folder its contained in can vary depending on your browser etc)
5. Once saved - Open the "3Minit settings" app (on your desktop or in the app drawer)
6. Scroll down to "Others" > tap on "colors & images" > scroll down to "Set dropdown image"
7. Find the saved curtain within the gallery and tap on it
8...... pull down the notification panel - mission complete??
9. Now use 3Minit to change the clock/date, toggle and text colours and transparency levels to suit your style!
10. Themed status bars *** coming soon (still testing heights for accuracy)
3Minit app layout has changed but you'll get the drift
My Images Are Saved in the DOWNLOADS folder - top right in the gallery
I selected the image 3 down from the spider
Result
Too use my images i will simply post them up and then you can "view image" - "save image" - and apply through 3Minits option within the change colour setting option. (as in the detailed guide)
Thanks to:
GHarrington for the amazing 3Minit Mod and app
Samsung - for our scrumptiously amazing phone
Google - we salute you
Photoshop
Customized Status Bars
As with the Dropdowns i am happy to try and create you a custom status bar -
Please keep in mind any images or text will have to be tiny and i would suggest not having your clock centred as this will reduce your options dramatically
ALL STATUS BARS I CREATE WILL BE ADDED HERE TO HELP KEEP THE THREAD TIDYISH
Use the same process as for the dropdowns, but select "status bar image" in "other" settings
1.
2. 40% Translucent -
FC Barcelona
Looks nice!!

Image use approved by Raffa via PM - more to follow for FoxHound
(Other rom developers - feel free to pm me images and can keep images/curtains exclusive to your rom)
sssSSSsss

just save the image - no need to move it.
Assuming you have 3Minit framework and app installed all you have to do is:
Open 3minit app > scroll to "others" > tap "Color and images" > scroll down to "Set dropdown image" > and select the saved image from the correct saved image folder (the folder may vary depending on which browser you have used etc but the png format does not affect this)
I will try and post up screen shot instructions if required but the process should be fairly simple with the above instructions. If users prefer jpeg as the file format then i can save them from here on in as jpeg.
*** If you want to create a new folder just for dropdown curtain images then i dont see an issue with that - just move them with a file manager from the download folder or download location to the new folder *** The new folder will show in the gallery as it contains images and you can select your saved curtain from there. ***
