OMG, i just discovered:
GOOGLE

Rename the Tsk to cab and then you can open it with Total commander, or any Winrar, winzip or other compression utilities and extract the files.
Rename tdywater named file to jpg and that's it. (there are 4 jpg files in tsk backgrounds for portrait and landscape and the same for menu backgrounds).

HTC QuickLauncher xml editing problem...

Ive been trying to edit the Quicklauncher skin .xml to launch other apps instead of the HTC Album and the Actionscreen, but after I overwrite the existing xml's with the edited the plugin doesnt display. I edited with Frontpage the copied to devices' \Windows folder using Resco. Could somebody double check me to see where I missed it?
make sure your image files are 24 bit depth... your menu may be there just not visible...
I didnt do anything to the images, just changed the links.
do you have the original files
someone correct me if im wrong but you cant just use frontpage to edit the xml files, you have to edit the xml files in something that keeps it in windows ce format. you can use notepad. just right click on the file and select open with and select notepad

I think the problem is you're using *.LNK
AFAIK you can only make links to *.EXE
for the photos I dont see any ql_pimg.lnk in my windows folder, if you change that to \windows\pimg.exe it will sure open your pictures.

Did the lnk and exe combinations, didnt work. Instead the plugin doesnt even load after the overwrite.

I'm running into the same problem. Once I overwrite the XML files and place the new Icons, I get a blank plugin once I start it up.

Thank you
Cab Manager Program will work
Or you can simply apply the theme on your ppc and copy files named
tdywater_240_320.gif
tdywater_320_240.gif
wherever you need them - one is a landscape wallpaper, the other is a portrait one.

transparent top curtain / bar

Ok, I've found the cab that removes the top curtain. NoTopCurtain.cab removes it, and every search I did only lead me to threads asking the same with no solution...

I've seen the semi-transparent bars in peoples screenshots, would somebody care to tell me how this is done?
Get your device. ActiveSync it. Explore it. Find file 18c460d8_manila in Windows folder. Copy it to your PC. Save it to a folder somewhere.
Download Manila Editor. Select Path in Manila Editor > Point it to the folder you just saved the 18c460d8_manila file. You'll see a blank image listed in manila editor.
Export it and open it with your favourite gfx editing program. Edit it to a semi transparent colour. If I remember rightly it's a 2pixel wide (128 high) image that 'spans' across the screen.
Use manila editor to replace the file with your newly edited image. Then copy the 18c460d8_manila file back to your device in \Windows.
Wallah! All done. You can find everything you need via Searching and reading!
thanks
Thanks, I should be able to get it done
i have a 1864da05_manila .... but no 18c460d8_manila
your sure its in the windows directory? I have a juicy 2.5 telus cdma phone, could it be different?
This seems like too tedious of a process for me >.> Anyone wanna do that with their file and uploada their modified 18c460d8_manila file?

hi,
actually TF3D1 top curtain is different compared to TF3D2.1 : on the one hand you've got a 2px width repeated 240 times, on the other hand you've got a single block of 512px

changing wallpaper for touchflo cooked roms

good morning:
before you guys tell me to search, i have already did over and over again. all the threads i see was not entirely clear. some threads say soemthign about having a manila editor and i would need a hex editor and stuff. other people say i jsut use the change wallpaper setting in the settings tab ( i tried, it doesnt work). i also tried downloading a configurator ( dimaond) and it doesnt work. so i want to know, how exactly do you change a wallpaper for touchflo cooked roms? ( please, no vague , shortcut descriptions). i will very much appreciate it. thanks.
p.s. i mean to change only the home screen, not necessarily all tabs, but that can help to.
First we'd need to know what touchflo you're using, TF3D 1 or TF3D 2 "Landscape".
For the first, you need to edit a manila skin file, extract to a png with CFG Editor (search on XDA), edit it in photoshop, alter the manila skin file back with CFG Editor into the png you made, then hex-edit the file and paste it in your windows directory, together with another file that you'd need to download. Aka, it's a hassle. I can't tell you where to download all this, as I don't remember.
TF3D 2 its easier, just need to edit 4 skin files, without hex editing.
Are you sure you want to do this?
And how can I change the TouchFlo 3D 1 wallpaper in the cab version?

thanks for the reply. sorry i forgot to mention im using touchflo 2
but yes i would like to attempt it if you can give me directions on how to do it. i appreciate it a lot.
Edit the following files: (get them from your windows folder)
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
Two of 'em are for portrait, two for landscape.
Use cfc gui to extract the pngs and recompile them when you're done.
Copy them to your \windows folder and you're all set.
