I have downloaded some of the focus color change files from XDA and found that they were very incomplete, missing many of the other 'green' elements in vanilla black manila, so I made a new one, which includes the focus elements for the landscape icons too. It also has a reg edit to change the enlarged start menu and task manager highlights to gray.
I could make other colors on request.
EDIT the communications menu is NOT orange if you use this with stock HTC black theme (but for some reason on the Alltel theme I tested it with it was), I did not check this, I guess the manila file names on Fuze manila comm menu are different. I did catch little things like the audio progress bar etc, but I will update soon to fix the Comm menu, with new colors too...
EDIT 2 HELP REQUESTED. I check the manila files I changed and all the correct ones for the comm manager are there, yet it is still stuck on green, at least with the Wildberry Manila landscape cab that I used..any of the more experienced people care to help me figure out why this is
EDIT 3 I figured it out I think - I am running a custom comm manager from my Juicy CDMA rom - so I have included those files in a revised version that is now 100% all green graphics to orange
EDIT 4 I have also added an optional orange tab cab file for the lower scrolling icon area - personal preference if you like this.
EDIT 5 I have fixed the transparency issues on the opera focus so it looks better, not shown in pictures below
EDIT 6 ORANGE CAB IS BUGGED - OPERA HIGHLIGHT IS PINK - Fix coming - and text is missing below opera globe on all colors
EDIT 7 - Text below opera globe is restored and install names bugs of cabs, shade of orange for opera focus are fixed. New files to be posted later tonight (dec 23 08). Red and Charcoal to follow soon.
ADDITIONAL COLORS CAN BE FOUND IN MY ADDITIONAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD
Good job man
Do you have any screens?
Is it for all the green focus elements like call screen, comm manager, settings tab, usb popup screen ?
If so, then it will be nice
i am new to this - so how I capture screens I have to figure out, but yes it does everything that is green in orange - though it is possible I missed something
also any help with the reg settings to get the highlights in the start menu and dialer to go orange through reg settings would be nice - when ever I tried the hex code for orange in the registry the start menu highlight ended up going dark blue
Hmm nice color, it will look nice on black!
I cannot help you with reg settings though.
I will follow this post to see the progress you're making to get it all orange.
Good luck!

Now that I have finalized the Orange version other colors will be forthcoming
Updated files in first post
I took the liberty of doing the all blue one. Let me know if there are any problems.
Thanks !
but the comm manager, audio manager, dialer etc do not use the manila files for the focus colors - they are separate PNGs in the windows folder, or registry edits
Mew request in Red!!

Can you make it in RED???
THANKs
I do not have Diamond .
Could you make 4 GREEN color ??
Light Pink
Here is my next color - a very light pink...really on suitable for TF3D themes with a dark font (ie doesn't work too well on my stock HTC black theme)
Again there is separate cab for a pink lower curtain icon tab (NOT SHOWN IN IMAGES BELOW), if you would like that too.
BTW the comm and audio manager focus files are not 'manila' files - they are simply png's in your windows folder on the device, so just changing the manila files doesn't change everything. Here are the file names that you need to edit

Also these files will not change the focus in HTC apps like the camera etc - that is something I will work on eventually.
Note there is no image for opera focus, but bug with no text below globe in v1 light pink cab is fixed, and focus is pink as per the rest of the highlights
Light Blue
As above, Light Blue focus, with separate cab for lower curtain icon tab.
as above bug of no text below opera focus is fixed in v2 file, and name in add remove programs is now correctly saying light blue
Can you please make a black one?

vote for that.
but why not make an app so we can choose differnt colors ?
I am afraid I have absolutely no ability to code....
If some one was to write an app for me that would use the manila files I made - it could be packaged with all the color files I make - perhaps something like TF3d config for colors only - but if they app was to on the fly change the colors that means all the files needed for each color would have to be locally stored on your device, taking up needless space
in the current orange focus cab, the highlight for launch browser is pink not orange on the internet touchflo3d tab. Also, the words "Launch Browser" disappear when you install the cab.
EDIT:
In theory you could have a program that changes the hex values of the each individual pixel in a basic grayscale image by adding XX XX XX to each RGB value for each and have an infinite number of colours.
ackkk ! Thanks for the bug report
I guess I mixed up the pink and orange opera focus files...and I didn't notice the launch browser part until now...I will have to figure out what I did to remove that

PLEASE NOTE THESE FOCUS FILES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED ON STOCK HTC TF3D MANILA - I cannot gurantee how they will work with Sprint TF3D etc
This is a new thread tidying up my original one with reserved posts below to add the additional colours and images (and as a Canadian I am going to spell colour 'correctly' !)
I have Light (powder) Pink and Blue, Red and Orange so far. Charcoal, purple, light yellow, hot pink, light green, blue and more will follow over the next few weeks.
I will also be seeing if there is an easy way to change the focus colours in the HTC Camera and Album apps
Full theme creators feel free to use my files, though please a) PM if you going too, and b) credit me somewhere
Please report any bugs glitches to me and I will fix them. I am aware that some of my colours have lost the 'gloss' look of the highlights, I will work to return that more in my future colours
EDIT small fix in red focus for opera highlight red to match other reds
EDIT I will be fixing up a few pixel errors (can only be seen if you look closely) on some of the coloured button icons
EDIT Purple focus is updated slightly, the highlight on the opera focus has been toned down
EDIT I am still having problems with the focus on the opera globe - I have removed carbon and aqua cabs for now until I solve the issue. If anyone downloaded them and used them can you please report either by posting here, or by PM, if the focus on the opera globe worked for you.
EDIT Carbon and Aqua focus v2 uploaded with opera globe bug fixed
EDIT Dark Green and Dark Blue focus, see cab files in post below screen shots
EDIT **NEW** Burgundy Focus, see cab files and screens in post #6
THIS WRAPS UP MY FOCUS WORK FOR REGULAR MANILA. I am now working on porting these to Rhodium/Topaz Manila, and making sure I include all the new highlight and focus bits in the new Manila and the Rhodium finger menu etc. These versions will be CFC compressed
I am also creating mini cabs to change the colour of the tab behind the icons on the lower curtain, if you want that to match my focus colours
*UPDATED* Some new colours added, see post 6 for the Gold one
Orange screen shots...for other colours I will just be posting two screens so you can see what the colour looks like on a dark and light BG
Here are the shots from the additional colours. Some will not be showing the optional tab colour
reserved for future additional files

Hi, I currently have the Dark Red theme (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2560150&postcount=661), but I am trying to add all the little things such as selection colors.
I've extracted the Comm Manager selection buttons from the Xen Red theme (found here: http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/), I've attached them here if anyone else wants them.
What I'm looking for is the selection for the Comm Manager in this type of red. Here are a few screenshots of my current red selection. If possible, I would like the Comm Manager to match.
Thanks!
Here is my current Comm Manager selection. I would like it to match the images above.
nice thanks for making the red.

It seems like for example on the audio manager you have the highlight is the dark red, yet the buttons are a brighter red, and on the comm manager the highlight is grey and the selector is red...
try copying those files from your phone and opening them in PS and you should be able to copy the colour levels from an image that is the correct red and apply it to the others.
If you are sucessful uploading a zip to this thread with the above files in the dark red would be great
I was probably going to be getting to making a dark red version or my cab, but not for a while
BTW what thread did you get the new task bar icons from etc
Hi, like the idea, but is it possible to go back if it doesn't fit me anymore ? Is there a way to uninstall the cab and restore orignal color ?
Thanx.

you just uninstall the cab and restart TF3d in the today screen (or soft reset) and you are back to whatever your ROM has stock

great job! I've experinced here that all focus cabs arent completed. I just instaled your file and i am suprised.
unfortunately i dont find a colour for me. Would be great to see complete blue focus, not Light Blue.

No formating, just open and edit, if you change the one layer....of course additional layers need to be merged etc, then just save it again

I backed up ALL my .png and .bmp files from my \Windows\ directory onto my computer, and I'm not sure which files are relevant to the Comm Manager selection image. I looked at all the files you mentioned above, but many of them are different icons. The only ones that seem like they may work are P_Button_Down.png and P_Button_Focus.png.
On another note, I can't find the red selection images I currently have on other areas of the phone. Is there another directory I should look in?

I am curious if this would be possible. I doubt that it is, otherwise someone would have likely done this by now, but is it possible to have the windows taskbar (as well as the bar with the softkeys on the bottom) be clear so that you can see the full image in TF3D, with the icons and writing over top of it just like the slider and icons?
I understand that even if this is possible, it could run in to a few problems once you are no longer in TF3D, because from what i understand you can't have the taskbar be different colours depending on what the phone is doing.
Anyways, is it possible, yay or nay?
Nay.
Yay, with wisbar advance.
can??? haw?
Thanks kraize,I have never used wisbar advance, can you actually make it clear or would I have to skin it with the photo?

Not sure about that one. I know that one person skinned it with a photo to make it look clear. I know you can make it very close using transparency. But don't know if it'd be completely clear.
It is possible, there is a program out there called "PMC TodayShrink", im sorry i don't have a link for it, i used it on my kaiser to see the full today screen ( i had a nice rl today theme) but with the kaiser i had enough buttons to simulate the hidden softkeys, but with the diamond this will be something else......
Edit: i think i misunderstood you here, did you mean transparent?
Yeah, transparent. I don't want to remove the taskbar and softkeys, i just want to make the black bars transparent or rather, completely remove any colour so that it just looks like the softkey writing is on the background picture. Exactly like with the no curtains .cab, where the date and the service provider writing now just looks like it is on the background picture.
And i checked out wisbar advance 3.0 and that could potentially work by just creating a skin for it that will just continue the background picture, but it also changes / adds a lot that i don't want.
Bumping this thread....Is it now possible to make the black bars that house the taskbar and softkeys transparent when using TF3D2?
A transparent bar would be awesome, but I realize this isn't as simple.
What I would like to know is how to change the colour of the bars?
I know is is possible, because I've seen WM6.1 themes that has the taskbar coloured.
I would just like to make the bar something a little more exciting than plain black.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found a little program here on XDA that changes the taskbar colour along with some text colours, as well. Really awesome program! It can be found here.

There are a bizillion ways to accomplish this... editors galore... but the simplest way IMO is to use a .tsk file. They're all over, but I have collected several - both shiny bars and flat matte. I've posted my screen to show one shade of purple (I have two)... Just apply your TF3D theme and choose a complimentary tsk file... It will change all of the windows colors (ie, menus, scrollbars, taskbars, etc.), but not those of TF3D. It is my experience that those colors remain true to the theme. However, there are several "focus" cabs around that will change the TF3D selected items colors.
I have several colors in both styles (and a few focus colors)... if there is something in particular you have in mind, let me know and I'll upload it if I have it.

Thanks a lot for the help offer, I must probably have just found the solution when you replied.
Just about anything concerning manila I already have covered and have an extensively modified theme for manila, I'm just waiting for a particular slider that will complete my TF3D theme. Slider
A coloured taskbar was the next step and now I have that covered, as well :-D
I've attached a screenie of my today screen. The clock I made myself; it was supposed to look like carbon, but I failed, sadly. I like your clock, though, but it won't fit with my theme.
Thanks again. I appreciate it a lot and just might call on your help one day :-D
EDIT: Okay, seems I needed your help earlier than I expected :-D
How did you get your "start" text to show "Maureen"? I followed the steps posted at PPCGeeks by Tsowen (don't have the link with me now), but I can't find the string they're referring to in my shellres.192.dll :/
Oh, and how did you get the "alarm" text to go away, as well? As you can see, mine still shows "6:00 AM" for my alarm and I'm not sure which text to remove from the manila file to hide that, as well.

It's not gone... it's just gray. Not sure how it got that way, though. LOL If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Sorry I wasn't any more help. I seem to remember having to try, try again with the Start text, though. See if you have better luck using the file I've indicated above. Here are the instructions as I saved them:
Change Start Text
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

Your search has ended...
I found these searching around... the first zip contains two shades of purple shiny bars, the wm_purple contains flat bars. I am also attaching a purple WMP (the original, just purple) skin which matches 75769.tsk... portrait and landscape (PURPORIG.zip). Just unzip and copy the files into Windows (after you make a back up of the originals, of course).
I hope this helps... xoxo

Would be cool if you/someone could make a taskbar.tsk which is black gloss, the htc black is just total black so it's a bit ugly Also I need to ask, I can't seem to put my Diamond in portrait mode in WMP even tho I have a skin for it. What's wrong? :E

Have you tried opening WMP while already in landscape mode? I have a touch pro and mine won't go landscape until I slide out the keyboard. Do a search for apps that address the g sensor/accelerometer (I thnk...LOL).
Below is a cab for "glossy black bars"... I've never tried it. I also have a tsk file with shiny gray bars... might be a good contrast to your theme.

Hi, in this thread we discuss modifications of the landscape version of manila. Why a new thread? Well, to avoid confusion which manila the modifications will work on.
And the word at the moment is that the old manila editors don't work properly with TF3D-L. We're all still learning what TF3D-L can and can't do though. I only found out today that I can hide the large digits in portrait, but not in landscape.
One change I would be interested in is changing the green highlighting for blue. Any thoughts as to where to start with that?
Yup, I also use the no curtains cab that removed the top and bottom curtains. It works on the new TF3D 2, but it only removes the bottom curtain.
I would like one that removes both.
It's all about picking the files apart seperately.
Having a working file editor would indeed make that much easier. I expect a working version very soon, as the filetypes are similar. It'd only be a matter of adding the new files to the file list, no?
I can definitely verify that manila editor doesn't not work but CFC GUI does. I used it to create my theme.
It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798
I just tried that and it's an awesome app, thanks for the heads-up! How is it on Manila 2?
It works well.. Of course i'm running into landscape issues. There is an image that is used for the landscape background i believe its 299eblahblah and no matter how i try and extend this image it doesn't cover the whole background in landscape. I'm going to try some more when i get home but i tried for like 2hrs last night with no success
Alrighty, I'll be looking into this myself too then, will let you know if I find something useful.
How about HEX editing, as any of that required for the landscape BG?
I didn't do any hex editing.... Then again my landscape image doesn't work right either lol..
Hmm. I'm trying to get my TF3D 1 skin working, but TF3D 2 keeps hanging on me. Some parts just don't seem to load and I don't know what's causing it.
Did you get that to work?
Where is it hanging? It might just be a tf3d 2 bug. Some files that are in tf3d 1 aren't in tf3d 2 as well. I'm still not sure if you can copy and paste them in the windows folder. I've cooked these files into the rom but i believe there is a setting in CFC that asks you if u are doing a copy paste.
I'm using SOTI Pocket controller to replace the files in my windows folder. After that I reboot. It then hangs upon startup. It shows the screen as if I'm sliding the slider to select another tab, "selecting" the home tab. I cannot control anything TF3D does from there, but most of the skin is visible.
I can imagine Pama's transparent sliders don't work on this ROM, so I've tried without those, but even tweaks to my background seem to mess it up.
Going to try with some other files now. (resetting takes a lot of time though. )
Yea i think there is something out how the files are either compressed or decompressed. CFC says something about padding vs trimming.
So... how do you suppose I can fix this? It's kind-of required to commence further testing.
EDIT: I'm eliminating the different possible causes for it not to work. Have narrowed it down to either the background or the curtains.
EDIT2: The good old background image fix doesn't work.
EDIT3: Surprise, surprise, the top and bottom curtains don't work either! I'm guessing that is the part where it's going to get tricky.
Gonna work on the new icons first though, hoping for one of the brighter minds (read: more experienced with TF3D) to come up with an awesome solution!
EDIT4: Can't get the BG or curtains to work -yet. The previously working HEX fix did no wonders this time.
Although I suspect the curtains are just fine as they are, since they seem to be semi-transparant.
P.S. Didn't you already get the background working, Bxsteez?
oh, I missed that... so I'll repost all things already posted around by me:
1- Analog + small flip clock, already ported to new tflo3d http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479929
2- background files (see attachment), inspect and try to have idea on how works (4 files, 2 for portrait and 2 for landscape... what a mess )
3- I usually get rid of top bar with a transparent 18c460d8_manila. Doesn't work anymore
4- no lines in tabs with transparent 74ddfccb_manila still works
5- graphic files for flip clock customization are ok
6- bottom bar transparency still works with a transparent 1864da05_manila
@mod: please stick this customization thread and let float away the previous one... tnx

So... how do you suppose I can fix this? It's kind-of required to commence further testing.
EDIT: I'm eliminating the different possible causes for it not to work. Have narrowed it down to either the background or the curtains.

Yea i got the background to work. I just used that CFC tool and modified the image and used CFC to replace. I didn't copy it in though i cooked a rom with the files in it. I think that is what is probably causing the problem.

Ok here is what i did to get it work via copy and paste.
I used CFC tool and when i was finished replacing files i went to tools and clicked finish up. I chose it to be uncompressed and then trim. This worked perfect for me. I'm not sure about that curtian cause i still can't get that to change.
I get the top curtain working again only in home cutting away the qtc reference snip in manila file with m9editor (search for "HomeTab" and you'll see) but it doesn't sounds like a great solution. Should be better to find the file invoked and make it trasparent like before

Thank you, I will take a look at those bg files right away.
Hey guys,
I was just wondering if it's possible to remove the top bar from manila 2d (aka TouchFlo) which shows the network information? In my opinion, it's just a waste of screen space and looks bad.
I know you can remove the network information with M2DC but I was wondering if anybody knew how to actually remove the top bar itself.
Cheers,
Jennan
Yeap, this is possible.....use attached transparent topbar. Put it in windows folder and relace original (with total commander). First copy original to another file in case you want to go back.
Thanks Frank, you're really helpful man
Appreciate it, worked like a charm
Thanks a lot for that too!!
Any chance to change the bottom bar also?
Have tried a lot of things but you can not remove or replace by a transparent version.....seems hard-coded in Manila.
Though you can change the color (mine is black). Or the trick I see in some themes is that you make an exact copy of the theme as is behind bottom bar and copy to windows so that it appears it is gone. But in actual fact is still there. If your theme is complex or change it frequently will be more difficult/more work. But it can be done.
Let us know how the result.....
Thanks so much ;]
I don't understand why you would use Total Commander for this though :/ I just did it with File Explorer and it worked too
It kind of supprised me I could just replace it from with file explorer; Aren't these images stored in the ROM? Then why can I replace them with File Explorer?
this is great. i was just complaining to the wife about how unsightly that top bar was.
thanks very much
Seems a bit wasteful to make a whole new thread for this - does anybody know how to replace the icons in TouchFlo? I've just downloaded a bunch of SenseUI icons in PNG format and want to replace the cartoony manila 2d ones.
Any ideas?
Thanks
