I have seen various posts about changing paths and icons in the cube, but what i would like to know is . Is there a way of having it match your today screen instead of charcoal colour. Imagine having your theme Guava bubbles and your cube reflecting the same.Would be nice if someone could come up with a way
I Think you've juste to edit and chnge each color of uour *.png installed in your Windows directory or HTCHome directory
Just copy them to your Windows Desktop to view which one you have to edit
and then replace them
The only problem is that the animations themselfs (when the cube is actualy moving) are hardcoded. It shows when you have some different icons on the cube. When rotating, the old icons appear on the locations you had new ones
I think someone was trying to edit the animation as well.
The animation is actually a sort of movie thing so it uses less resources. Its hard to change it, since no one knows the format But someone is editting it so it moves different I thought.
The animation is formed of multiple ".brn" files. There is an application to transform brn to bmp but nothing to merge from bmp to brn so for the moment no color edition is posible during the animation.
thanks for all the info people. much appreciated. i guess with time this situation will change but for now will keep default. cant see no point in changing something if its gonna use defaults as soon as you rotate.

so it would be at least possible to "debrand" a branded cube when I take the .brn files of an unbranded Touch?

Try to overwrite all the *.brn files in \windows with the attached original HTC ones and your cube should be debranded - but you have the icons from HTC and the links "behind" the icons from your provider.
It is possible that they are different.
If you want to get back simply delete all those files and your original ROM files should come back instead.
But to be save backup all your*.brn files before
I think it should also be possible to overwrite the hh_launcher*.png icons.
Simply disable the HTC Home element in your today screen settings before overwriting these files. Should work in my opinion
Where are the rest of the animation BRNs

Hey, I downloaded your zip file, but it was missing several animation brns. I'm looking for the following in the same original HTC format.
A2.brn, A4.brn, B2.brn, B4.brn, C2.brn, C4.brn
Thanks!
Or,....
You just take these "clean" files and have no icons on the rotating cube .
I'm not in a mood of sorting them out for you just download and take a look wich ones you need
Greetz,

Here is a different look of the cube that was basically easy for me to do. I'm sharing, just incase anyone wants to try it out. All you have to do is copy all the BRN files into the \windows directory folders and soft reset.
Also, this cube is easy to see during daytime also, because of the colors.
Edited: Same colors for animation when the cube is spinning.
ko now im getting confused. All i want to do is change the Icons...
I have the icons saved as PNG's but i can change them to BRN's. What do i need to do. I will be using Touch settings to install and change the stuff.?

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.
Hi all,
Before anyone starts flaming, I have tried to do a search and gone through nearly all the pages that come up, but yet to find an answer.
Question is, I would like to have the weather icons replaced with the ones shown in Spbweather, is there a way to achieve this without the need to change to 'UserWeather' and have mortscripts active? Surely that has to be...
I've had a look at the SpbWeather directory and I've noticed in each of the skins folders, there is a zip file for 32x32 and 16x16 and in each there is a single .bmp file with two rows of icons. Will I need to edit these so it will be in similar format as the weather.png within S2U2 directory for it to pick it up?
Thanks
yes spbweather icons are together on a file
so you have to put the file on your PC and make selection and copy paste to differents png
look at spb site to help about the number of different png
I was using s2u2 with spb weather and iconswere not displayed , I understand why now , probably because of the file format

not flaming but why start a new thread ? why not post in the S2U2 thread ???
Replying in a thread like that seems to always get masked especially considering the vast number of pages in that single thread. But nevertheless I do apologise, I guess my question would have been more appropriate in that thread.
And to brunoisa10
I don't see how that would work, I initially though that would solve my problem, however if Spbweather is chosen as the preferred weather application, S2U2 seems to ignore any files contained in \gfx\weather
Can you just clarify...
You want the weather icons on the S2U2 screen to be the same as the ones you currently see in spbWeather on your Today screen?
What icons are you using in spbWeather at the moment?

Hey guys,
is it possible to create some animated weather icons for our manilla 2d? maybe like rumball did for weatherpanel!
I looked into the files and i found out that the one and only animated weather is the rain!
There are about 30 *.brn files. It is possible to convert these files into bmp-files.
I found a tool in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325424
Who knows how to edit the manilla 2d?
greetings
anybody who wants the same or can help me?
i put a request in directly to Rumball...let's see if he answers
Rumball already made a complete animated set, how many more do you need?
The set he already made takes up a good bit of memory as is, and you can only have so many icons.
As I indicated at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2720685&postcount=22, I'm willing to support this by generating BRN files of my animations...but there are a couple of things that need to happen first:
1) M2D uses BRN files to render its animations. My understanding is one BRN file per frame of the animation. Someone would have to figure out how to modify Manilla-2D so as to get it to look for BRN-image frames (and therefore display animations) for all the weather conditions (currently it only does this for rain).
2) my WeatherPanel animations are about 40Megs in size and consist of about 1000frames of animation. So that would translate into 1000 BRN files that you'd need to have in order to replacate my weatherpanel animations in M2D. As TheChampJT above suggests, these BRN files will take up a LOT of space and therefore would obviously need to go on a storage card. Therefore M2D would also have to be modified to look for its BRN files on the storage card rather than in the Windows directory.
3) Someone needs to throw together a program that can batch convert image files into BRN files...there is NO way I'm manually generating over 1000 BRN files!
If someone can figure out how to do 1, 2 and 3 with M2D then I can look into outputting my animations into BRN frames.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346910
That is an awesome program, converts brn to bmp and bmp to brn...all drag and drop...and I just confirmed it allows you to drop multiple files onto it
My other suggestion is this. Convert the animations to BRN and package them all into a zip with seperate folders for each 'weather type'. Users could then choose which animations they want on their phone...like I had mentioned in my pm...I probably only see about 3-5 different weather types in my area "most" of the time. I can't imagine it's that different for everyone else.
So I was going to try and make a single animation...just to see if I could do it.
Before I ask I am running the ROM in my sig which is using Manilla 2D built in. It does include one animated weather set for "Rain" and it does work.
Here is my question. How does Manilla/Weather tab know which files to access for various weather conditions. I didn't see it in the registry so it must be a file somewhere? I'll do some looking around.
The animation for the weather icons is named HH_rainbrush_00 through 22. The non animated weather is just HH_weather_01 through 44

Maybe it's the exe file which controls the weather icons. I've searched for in the htchomesettings.xml and ther is nothing to find.

You're probably right, I'm just curious if there is any way to find out what those names may be if I were to creat an animation for partly cloudy or something.
EDIT: I guess I didn't read Rumball's first condition above correctly :-D
So I threw Manila2d.exe into IDA disassembler (which I am NO expert at using). But, from what I can gather, the rain animation and other file names are hard coded into the exe themselves.
I see some specific references to LoadRainBrushIcon and the rainbrush brn animation as well as the static HH_WEATHER_%02d.png numbered files.
Looks like to get all the weather animated some one would have to rewrite Manila2d.exe :-/

Here is my tutorial, how to change the Sonyericsson Panel icons:
1, On your Xperia copy the VUI files from Device:\program files\panels\sonyericsson panel\ to your storage card
2, Clear all the attributes - for example use Resco Explorer
( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/ )
3, Copy to your computer, and decompress the VUI files - I used 7zip
( http://www.7-zip.org/ )
4, You will find the icon pictures in the decompressed folders
5, Use any picture editor software to make new icons (I used Photoshop) -the icon size must be 64x64 pixel, and save as png image
6, Open the VUI file -with 7zip, just open, do not decompress - only copy with drag and drop your edited pictures and overwrite the existing ones
7, Copy back to your Xperia to Device:\program files\panels\sonyericsson panel\
Before edit the original VUI file always backup them. You can change back to the original icons if replace the original VUIs.
I have made some icons, here are the changed VUIs in the VUIs.zip, and the photoshop files what I used for.
I have made a custom background also, use if you like it. It is just a background picture, you have to configure your Xperia panel, to match with the background.
Just wondering, how many vui files do you have in that folder. I only had a couple. In a cab I downloaded I saw there were seperate ones for the clock, rss etc.

What I attached are just the modified VUIs. But if you have enough time you can modify the another ones.
I wait the other designs also!

You are welcome!
Very nice work!
Do you know if it's possible to make a separate icon for when an icon is selected/ pressed? (Have you noticed that pressing an icon on the SE panel does not highlight or otherwise change the icon, which makes it hard to tell if you have pressed it or not).
Thanks for your help.

Yes, this is possible. I used separate icons also. If you unpack the VUIs.zip, then unpack the mode.vui, you will see the icons how it seems if you pressed/activated or pressed/deactivated it. Of course you can edit them.

Hm... I have a Hungarian T-mobile phone and I haven't got any problem.
If you use Resco Explorer, check in options->general->browser options to clear all the pipes before the attributes.
It could be, that you aren't allowed now to see the hidden/ROM/system files.
