I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks
What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...
yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.
this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas
that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

It's done ...
With the help of gordic, wrather, Seelenfresser, BenThon and all the other thread-readers I made an update of my "Black & Red" and after that I was able to convert it completey to "Black & Blue"
"Black & xColor V2.1"
Until now there's only a Basic-Edition of each color version. The original HTC Black Theme has to be installed on your diamond before you are installing one of my themes.
(Didn't try other themes as base but I think it would look a little bit funny *g*)
So far I tested the theme with Mossis ROM 2.1 (Base-ROM: 1.93.x).
Files:
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x.zip
All files are in one folder inside the zip-file, so they can be copied to the windows-directory off the reel.
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x_separated.zip
All files are in separated folders inside the zip-file, so you can choose which files you copy to the windows-dir.
Instruction:
Unpack the *.zip-file you want and read the installation.txt.
(If something is wrong or you need some help please let me know!)
Changelog:
V2_1 [17.09.2008]
- two new color-changed images of the camera
- newer *.tsk-files
I'm not so happy with the calendar-icon, but until now I didn't get a better version of it. Maybe someone else could help to make it more similar to the other icons?
#1
(reserved for further update etc.)
the file is too big ?
try with rapidshare.com
[good work!]
[thanks!]
That's strange because the file isn't bigger than 8MB (that should be the maximum file size of zip-files).
But now I've uploaded it with rapidshare
Very nice work!
Will download....
Does this also change the today screen and other non TouchFlo elements like buttons, captions etc. (globally of course)?

I think it does because I changed also many graphics that have nothing to do with TF3D, for example the Screen if you connect your diamond with USB etc.
And there is also the vodafone.tsk, which makes the "menu marker" red for example.
@NisseDILLIGAF
Thank you!
nice job thanx
Thanks for the theme.
You were faster than me in changing everything green into red. One thing I could not find in your basic zip file was a red highlighted internet globe.
Thanks to the help of NisseDILLIGAF who pointed me in the right direction I was able to change it. Now the theme is perfect!
Win refuses to overwrite the manila-files. Could somebody make from this a real theme-file. The red is amazing color with black.
Theme File
just installed, the red & black looks so cool!
GREAT WORK...thank you
really fine themes, one of the best i tried today
but a few questions:
i made a roll back to my standard theme (with TF3D config 0.6.7) but now i have some graphic problems, e.g. TF-volume is still red instead of original green, also the buttons for choosing between ActiveSync- and external drive-mode if connected to PC. And the (green) button beside the active keyboard, if i want to change half to full or phone etc., is fully lost
Are there any options to get the old status back without a hardreset?
thank you for your answer
ok, ive tried this, but im not satisfied, altough i would love to have a black red theme.
What would make this theme perfect for me is, that it should be exactly as the original touchflo, htc black theme, only where default theme has green colour, it should have red colour, that would be perfect theme for me.
also, i restored default theme, and still i have in volume control red coloured bars, which i can't restore to defaults, which is not ok.
i tried to delete manila files with resco explorer, but says i cant delete files, because they are in the memory. Any suggestion how to do this ?
thank you

Ok, solved it by myself. There is a little bug in TF3D Config-Tool, which forgot to delete three files after choosing a Theme-Restore:
- HTCUSBtoPCPopUp.png
- SIPMenu_SelectIcon.bmp
- HTCVolumeControl.png
After deleting these file and automatic replacement of the original TF-Files by WM (soft-reset!) everything looks ok again
THANKS ! i am happy again
dunno where i saw it, but is there a possibility, to change background on all menus ?
Great theme! Love balck&red
Only issue I have is cannot see the writings in the manilla settings/sound properties, it's only me? something wrong?
Thanks
Black font on black background, got this Prob, too.
If you highlight it with the red "Cursor" you can read it...
Choosing new programs has this small prob also

Very nice job Elvelynn..
maybe we could work together to make others colors ?
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.

I made a few changes in my theme (some more things in blue, frames, background). When you click on the link in the first post, you can download them.
Sorry ... i posted fi´ve minutes to early... the new desktop variation was not inside. Now the changes are [for today ] complete. Please download the changes again...you can see the changes also on the screenshots in the link.
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.
I tried the slider from my spiderman theme.
Hi. I have seen the Original wallpaper but not in black and grey but black and red. I now searching for hours but cant find it again.. Does anyone remember the link? Else a link for the clasic original . (I will paint it..) Thanks ,
you could take it off of your phone then put it into a program like photoshop and overlay it with red.
TF3D Wallpaper..
Something like this?
Not something like this, exactly this !
Thanks . I know i have download it some days before ,but now i have spend hours without finding it..
So how would you go about getting that to be the background on tf3d? Would you have to use a program or could you just put it in a manila file and if so which one?
TF3D wallpaper..
Easy, place the wallpaper in 'My Pictures' on your device. Scroll along in TF3D until you come to settings, choose Wallpaper and when a box opens saying 'Choose default yes/no' choose 'no'. This will take you through to your pictures and you can click on the one you want and it will change it for you to your homescreen. To go back just click the 'yes' in the default wallpaper box.If you want to make your own wallpaper the size is 480x640....
N.B. If you SEARCH on this site for mUn BackgroundMode.CAB and install this CAB to your device you can have your Homescreen Wallpaper on all of your TF3D pages.
Sweet thanks! I knew about the home screen I was looking for how to change all the backgrounds.
