[Q] modding HtcHomeSetting.xml. - Windows Mobile

Hi guys,
I was reading this thread , it explain some tips for modding HtcHomeSetting.xml for Manila 2D, seems that thread is a bit old and im afraid that a post in there won't give me some answers.
Basically i understand what this mean but there is something that i cant understand:
how can i find the coordinates for moving things on Manila?
I know that my device is QVGA 240x320 and i would make a grid for have more simply all tyhe work of customisation plus i wanna try to make manila 2D in Landscape.
Any tips, tut or apps would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey man... i guess i saw a Visual UI software for your PC that can helps you editing XML coordinates... just give it a try with the search

Ok i have tried it and it doesnt work with this .xml because it has a different layout.
I asked programatix help in his own thread , see what will happen.

first screen second screen
so i change the same values on the post of the Weather icons... and tadaaaaaa!!!! the home tab is messed up like this:
I need that lesson too

Many people upgraded to all these Vga.Wvga devices and now we are alone with our old Qvga devices
But i guess that we can do something good again
Anyway thanks for this very nice weather tab , looks awesome ....i want it , and nice Home tab.....thats exactly what i meant about modding the Homesetting.xml plus get Manila 2D Landscape.....yes we can

The theme looks better without the top "curtain"
I have made a replica too, ... also i wanted to start making my own tf3d 2d theme, but stuck with the problem, that we cannot customize the background in manila tabs.
Here is my enhanced TF2D Wallpaper
I saw theme which had changed backgroung in all tabs...but I dont know which one ...try to find here its some black one with diamonds...

Well, now that the background animation in Manila is turned off, HTC could come up with a TF3D update that allows wallpapers in each tab... do you read this, HTC? Please do it!
Can anyone explain to me the difference between TF3D 3D and 2D I don´t get it?

3D is designed for VGA devices as Diamond or Touch Pro, and 2D is designed for QVGA devices and extracted from HTC Opal (i have 2D working in my Kaiser )
Cheers
added the theme and S2U2-files
how to install?
Can you also edit the TouchFlo Landscape panel to have some blue in it... looks great

just put the manila-files in the windows directory...make sure to backup the files you're overwriting

the easiest way is just to rotate the wallpaper.jpg and rename it to wallpaperL.jpg
This would be great if every tab had the background. I wish HTC would let us change all tabs

do you even have Diamond TF3D Config installed on your phone yet, that might be why it doesn't work for you.
Thanks DjOuBhAa, you sure do know how to do GRAPHICS! You're definitely one of the best Theme Creator here in xda
If you do mind (or have time), could you please kindly consider to work on the icons for comm manager and call history tabs?
Cheers!

Can anyone else figure out how to do this correctly or am I overlooking something obvious?

Well here it is on the Touch HD.Just for future reference, you do not have to put the manila file "1c684cd8_manila" in the download. If you do and people put it on a device that isnt 480x640 it will change their viewable space (such as an HD user ). Should work fine wihtout that file
Nonetheless, great clock, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

Hi all. For unistalling the christmas clock, we need to copy the original files, isn't it? Where can I find them? I forgot to make a previous backup...

wow amazing

calender is not in English
any way
very cool
just exelent...
Great theme. Thanks for all your work.
Weather
Does anyone know how they got the weather to display the next 4 days within the tf3d tab instead of having to go to a different screen?
Hey - just installed it, it looks amazing. I had some issues that were the purpose of this post, but I reflashed my ROM, made a few setting changes and tried again. Issues resolved.
For the person that asked about wallpaper, I think that because this uses a panoramic wallpaper, you have to actually overwrite manila files to change it. Search "pano" or panorama.
Flashing to a ROM that uses HD manila will allow the four days of weather on the main screen. If there are other ways to do it, I don't know about them.
Hia thank for your work. I've a problem in fact in home my clock remain on "am 0.00" all time. Why? How can i resolve?
somone know where to find the font that he uses in the theme? i can't find it anywhere, help if u can, thx in advance!!
Is this mirrored somewhere that doesnt require a registration? Looks awesome but I dont need another site spamming my box.

Manila 2.5 Animated Wallpaper (Not S2U2)

I've looked around and can't find any good manila 2.5 animated backgrounds. I've seen the three default animated wallpapers but there a bit stock. Anyone know of where there are more available or what sort of file is used and where it needs be filed?
Thanks
mmmmhhhh I'm interested too
I'm not having much luck finding anything... does anyone know how to create them or where I can even get the stock animated backgrounds?
Ditto, i'd like to find some too
Anyone know if this feature can be ported over to manila 2.1 via a cab file?

Could someone please post the link to the wallpapers... I can't find them

Ok I think I have discovered that they are animated PNG files so with a little bit of help from photoshop we should soon have some animated *.PNG wallpapers floating around.
Hi,
I don't realy like the animated wallpapers, but when I select a weather wallpaper, the white background for some screens (for example settings -> personalize) changes into the same background as the background I select, making the text unreadable.
I would like to make a simple jpg file selectable for animated gif. Anybody anny idea how to fix this?
