[Little change] Colored Homeicons and green appointment notification - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Hello,
I made a little change to my TP2.
I give the homeicons some color, and i've made the calendar appointment notification green in stead of gray.
Copy the files in the windows directory of your phone.
Screenshots and zip file below...

This is an EXCELLENT idea. I've been making themes for touch flo 3D 2 and i never even remotely thought of doing this. Such an excellent idea.

Thanks! ... maybe i will change some more icons in the future, but i don't want a happy-rainbow-colored device, but a little bit is good! ... better then all white

Hi,
Nice work!
But only one problem when you've installed a different look of the flip clock.
I for example installed cristal flip clock, and after copying the 2 manila files in windows my clock turns white. Not the default white but a strange color white.
Can you do something about that?
So that I can use your colors and still use a different flip clock layout?

I don't know if this is possible, because all those things are in the same image. (the images for the clock and the rest of the icons on homescreen are 1 file )
but maybe there is a solution, this is my first manila-file-edit so maybe i can find out

All you need to do is to delete those two files. It will revert to those in the ROM (the original).

Very nice, thank you!
PS: Could someone please tell me where this nice taskbar is from?

It is possible to just change the calendar appointment notification in green? I don't want to change the color of my icons.
Thanks a lot and keep the good work

Well I appreciate the help Olio, but I post as a last resort. I have been through threads and posts and everything is for the Elf, or is something I already have. Some of the colors are a shade off and it drives me crazy to see the difference between the squares. Ever notice no matter what Icon you use...when you first bring the cube up it always show the default icon for a split second? That is so annoying to me! Anyway thanks guys. Maybe you can help with this. Where is TomTom saved on your device? I don't mean card or unit. I can not for the life of me find the path. I've searched all the directories, apps, programs, but nothing....AND is there a way to stop the TomTom quick launch remain on the today screen with out softreset? Sorry, a little off subject.

no "bricks" in the background.

I dont want "the bricks" in the backgorund. only a black backgorund (and not only today screen)

Is it possible to get the grey squares matching the white theme, and if so how do i activate them after copying to the win directory??

background problem
Hey everyone,
since I'm a owner of a Diamond, I just keep playing around with the TF3D Themes, that were made by the people of this website.
But I got a problem pretty similar the the one of the first post.
After I install a theme everything looks good and fine, but the background of the tabs. This is staying in my ugly o2 blue. And for example in the Gold-Diamond Theme this really looks stupid. Can somebody tell me, which manila file I have to chance to get it black (I like those bricks ) ???
Thanks a lot

You have to copy some Luaq/gles manila files from the original black theme...
Don't know wich ones it is right now but try this one...
I made it for someone else that had some problems with the clock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=114022&d=1221761928
You can always uninstall it and go back to original manila files...
hey dude,
dunno why, but it didn't work correctly. After installing your cab-file my clock was not "bling-bling" anymore and I was back in January 2008 Re-installed gold theme and hoped that it would keep the background (which was correct now), but it didn't.
Seems as if I have to live with blue backgrounds, or has anybody else an idea???
But thanks for your work anyways !!!

[THE][2008 Sep 19]Vista Theme for Diamond with new comm manager tab

I made a new vista theme for TF3D. Download over the link in my signature. Inside is the new comm manager tab and the german calendar from d-man. If you want to have the calendar in your language, please download the calendar locales file in your language, please rename the title in Calendar, like he disribed it here. Don´t copy the other calendar files (they are all inside) or change the order of numbers. Disable TF3D, copy all files with Total Commander to windows and restart. Hope, you will enjoy it. Two times during the copying comes an error. Don´t worry, all needed files will be copied allright.
Here - under the pics - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.
Very cool!
i see screens and it looks great!

No Nisse, i don´t have fixed it. I think, it´s the same as in the settings tab, so it has the same font color.
But with your help i changed a little the design od the background. Thx for the compliments.

best theme EVER! However... landscape version for Touch Pro doesn't work=p
Could you fix it please?
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much
Sorry, i fear, that i can´t help you with the landscape version. I have only the diamond. What´s wrong, when you use it? Maybe, i find an answer or somene other here.
New changes
I am learning...so i must post every day new changes to the theme, don´t worry:
Today i am ready with the windows-tsk-file (Black & Blue), i integrated the diamond today picture and a better looking volume control. You can download the file in the upper entry.
Much fun.
Edit: Only new represantation (post 1)
Here - and also in the 1st post - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.
Hi Neo XL, I have just been trying your theme, it looks great, Thanks. However I am having some trouble adding custom cities to the weather database now, not a big deal. I Have removed the bricks and the bottom curtain and put in a custom home screen wallpaper with the analog clock from the french orange rom. The no bricks looks a lot better I feel they clutter up the screen a lot. I also think the theme would look better with a transparent slider like the one made by pamas which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430287. Just one more point, how about second level icons as well for example in the settings panel or the photos page? An example of second level icon implementation by stevedpl is seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427503 it's a nice finishing touch. Again thank very much for the theme it is obvious a lot of work went into it.
I also made myself a single cab file to install it all using quick cab which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221, with the correct english corrections in it, that way it is easier should I choose to remove it!
Thanks for the feedback.
I don´t have the weather problem...don´t know, if there are more users, who have the same.
You can further shape the theme by your taste...i like your screenshot. The 2nd level icons i didn´t style in my 1st theme, but in the later themes (Pirates, LOTR and - tomorrow - Spiderman).
It´s is a suggestion, even to do something like you want.
You can post your results here for other users, so all can benefit of them.
Hi Neo XL, the transparent slider is the big one for me, I just love pamas's slider.
Definitely sticking with your theme for now, Thanks a lot for your work, a great share.
No idea why, no reset but just powered on my phone and the butt ugly original slider has resurfaced, I will re-install the manilla files to dispense with it, just not sure why it should suddenly reappear, the theme, with my own customisations has been solid all day. Man I hate that ugly slider!
do you have this i a cab file and have you it in dutch ?? look nice thx

You must deactivate TF3d, then copy the slider files to windows, activate TF3D, and it should go. I tried another slider today...no problems.

No, i don´t have dutch files, but it´s easy to edit the manila from the 1st post. Open it with the editor and search for this lines:
<Page Order="10" Name="calendar.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Calendar"> and
<Page Order="11" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Comm Manager"
Replace the Titles "Calendar" and "Comm Manager" with the words of your own language and save the file. Copy this file to your windows on the diamond and reset it.
I don´t wanna make a cab, because for editing and updating this is an easier way.

What slider did you try, I have yours back at the moment and very nice it is too, with a pure black theme, but when you start to add wallpapers you can't beat a transparent one.

[HELP] White Manilla Theme

I found this white Manilla theme yesterday somewhere on XDA but looked everywhere and cant find it again. Wanted to ask a question...
Something I dont understand is that it is under 500 files where the normal Manilla ones are around 1000 files. My question though is that it works perfect on some roms eg Panosha 2.0 but the clock stands still on Panosha 2.1 and Strawberry.
Can someone explain why this is. I attached it so you guys can have a look at it. Very Beautifull them IMO.
Update : Clock working now with new update...there was one faulty file. Wallpaper not changing now...investigating.
Ok Both the white theme incl Clock and wallpaper is fixed. Use Manilla.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799 it says Sprint extras. Manilla.exe fix. Copy into \windows and restart

the reason to to 483 files in this theme is that there are only Italian language files in this theme...
in standard black TF3D there are 532 language xml files...
and in this 'white' theme there are only 20 language xml files...
Hmm
The screen shots I posted you can see the time because its on Panosha 2.0 but on Panosha 2.1 the clock stands still on 0:00 and it shows english not italian??

Little misunderstood here. Do I copy just that one file from the white theme into the black theme or do I copy the white one onto the black one?
how would you restore back to the original one and remove the white theme. I have Sprint Diamond
the white theme reminds me of the T-Mobile stock theme i had to put up with for a week before i found the Black manilla therefore i'd never go back to it purely due to its similarity.
Good work anyway guys

[REQ] Clear Windows Taskbar ?

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.

I was wondering where you got your purple taskbars, I've been searching all over!

I modified the file "shellres.dll.0409.mui" to change the start text... string value 321, by following the same instructions to which you refer...

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.
