A few bmp icons for Claunch

Hi these are a few bmp icons to use wish Claunch.
please post if you have any more

nice icons bud.... do you have any with no white box around it?... you know just the shape, so you don't see all that white with a colored background?

i will try to edit them

Help!! Can you convert this to bmp Icons?

Hi..
I found these icons from the new Frestyl Launcher...
they are 60x60 PNG Icons..
i want to convert them into 32x32 bmp Icons so i can use it with the new Clauncher V12.04..
Can someone please help?
here they are...

I don´t know why you did not do it on your own.
Using a freeware gfx viewer/converter like XnView and this is done in one little step.

hey thanks.. but this isn't what i had in mind..
I actually used photoshop and resized it to 32x32x150 resolution and then save it as bmp file but it still has a White border around the icon...
then i tried to crop it .. which made it a bit better..
but i still have a problem with the gradient background from the png file...
dont know if I'm making any sense.. but basically..
the PNG icons have a gradient background and the Bitmap icons have a purple-ish background that seem to he transparent when its on windows mobile..
if someone know how to convert it with the purple background can you please show me how?
all replies are appreciated..

How are you getting the icons to display on the WM device?
I was led to believe that they needed to be in a .dll or a .exe "library" in order to be used as icons by Windows Mobile Devices.
Is this not correct?

PNG can be transparant, BMP can not be transparent unless the program that uses the BMP has a specific colorcode that it uses to make it transparent, and even then it cannot show faded transparency. Only 100% or 0%
(If this was what you are after)

I am using it for Claunch 12.04 .. I guess it allow you to use .exe, .dll, .cpl, and .bmp files as icons...
Okay here are the exsamples..
1st is the original PNG icons @ 60x60 (with the Gradient background)
2nd is the BMP done by Chistian72D @ 32x32 (with the White background)
3rd is an icon from an icon pack for Claunch (with the purple background)
the purple will blend in with whatever color you have on your windows background..
thats what I was looking for..
thanks again guys.. let me know if you know of a way to do this..

here is an easy way to do this
download "Irfanview" install and run it,
click "options", "properties", "viewing", "Choose" (main window color)
In the lower right quadrant of the color window enter values: red=255, green=0, blue=255
click "OK" then "OK" again. This will change the background color to the proper value for claunch.
Now open your pngs in Irfanview, resize them (click "Image", "resize/resample" or CTRL-R)
Then save as BMP.
The newly saved bmps will have the proper background color.
Good Luck

TF3D - Use gradient_background.qtc from o2 for other Themes

Hi there, im thinking about the issue that you cant use a background for all tabs in TF3D, so i am trying to find a solution for that.
We need to find out where in TF3D the XML definition of background tiling is, so we could deactivate that, and replace the manila background tile with a normal wallpaper.
What do you think?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That would be great, one of the most annoying things of TF3D is the background only works on the Today screen. I guess another option would be to find the graphic file within the manilla files that contains the default one. I have seen a couple themes where they have changed that default image, I think it was the Orange one.

added to thread subscriptions, maybe we can do this and it will be so much better!

Thanks, look at the Vodafone theme for example, there is a blank white background. Can we customize the original files like this just with a wallpaper?

I found out that there is a 2bd5bb26_manila (Background image only on O2 theme) in the o2 theme.
When we could use this manila file for other themes too, we would have solved the theme problem!

there's one thing i don't really understand here.
in the o2 default blue theme, the gradient background (for all the tabs) is saved as an image of the width of 1 pixel. i tried to substitute it with another, wider image, but it didn't work.
in the htc black theme, on the other hand, there's no direct image for the background, instead, only the tiles are coded somewhere as image files.
how does it work then, i mean how does manila know how the background is encoded, whether it's a 1px-wide image that needs to be stretched or a tile that fits onto the background "floor" or whatever else on other themes?
if we could find the place where it's encoded what (and how) manila uses for the background, then i guess we could play with it a little more

This is what i have found about the background question in TF3D...

I haven't had any more time on it .. but I think we have to wait until we can change the mania/GLES files...

I hope this can be done

Icons

I was wondering if anyone had the weather icons off of the diamond. or know how i can obtain these.
Along with any other of the animated icons, images from the diamond.

[Q] remove carrier touchflo 2.1 background

I would like to swap out the carrier wallpaper in manila 2.1 with somthing else so I can have three wallpapers manila home , winmo/lockscreen and then the tab's in manila
If I can change the boot animation there has got to be a way to change the default manila background
hdwall locks up my device and conflicts with comic reader mobi
background on all tab's leave's a gap at the top and limits my wallpaper to modified extra skinny images to force it to strech it to the top
];P>

Me too!
