hi all, i recently seen a nice spb calc diamond skin, and i decide to make my own much more like manilla dialer (white), hope you like it !
Portrait AND landscape .
screenshot:
as usual install spbcalc wich is in the zip, then copy the 2 gifs to your /windows
EDIT: you must copy the 2 gifs files with file explorer like resco or total commander FROM YOUR DEVICE, don't use activsync!!, when do it properly the system must ask you : are you sure to replace existing files ? then answer yes to all, this way it should work...
EDIT 2: QVGA conversion by vitornog SEE PAGE 3 !!!
EDIT 3: "Ready to use" CAB file by Rondol1 on PAGE 4,thx man !!
EDIT 4: Updated portrait (with smoother fonts) see attached zipped gif, copy it in windows folder...
EDIT 5: FINAL VERSION SEE: SPB CALC MANILA STYLE FINAL.ZIP, I have not included QVGA in this version cos the image quality is not good in QVGA and i don't have a QVGA device...Installation as usual...Waiting for someone to make a "ready to use" CAB
EDIT 6: Now with cab installer , many, many thanks Rondol1: thanks to him just install the cab and voila !!
Updated with landscape mode...
Cool, now a new Manilla skin for the windows Agenda?
Thanks man nice job.
Cheers.
thank you for saving us from the ugly moth*r fu*er wm skin calculator!
why can they do a decent skin for such a common but useful application? why?
thanks for your great effort, I'm going to give this a try, I like it, it's simple and clean interface.
It doesnt work. I get the black skin that comes with the .cab .. but not this skin. I copied the Gif in to Windows folder .. what have i done wrong?
may be try a soft reset (if not already done)
...did the system ask you to replace the old gifs ? if not, you surely unzip in wrong folder or apply path when unzipping, the gifs must be in windows folder not in windows/spbcalc.../
please check, and tell us.

same for me on my diamond, & I've already copied the 2 attachment skin files to window folder, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I had the black background too, this was when I tried to copy the images via activesync into windows, it did not prompt for overwrite.
I copied the files onto the internally storage, then copied them and pasted them into windows folder on the device using file explorer on the phone, it then prompted if I wanted to overwrite.
It works with the method I just did.
how do you get into landscape mode?

Hi, the cab is working, you just have to install and then copy the two gifs in windows folder but not from activesync, i do this by the file explorer in my diamond and Voila! ça marche...

at least it'll look like it.

thanks anyway
thx nice
There are some dialers available!
See below
But Someone is making a theme which should be more perfect than this one!
Still waiting on that!
Very very nice
Just to get this clear...
Do I simply back up my other GIFs and BMPs and overwrite them with these ones?
What about the .ini file?
Sorry, now I've read the ReadMe file
But I tried to copy out my old files and can only see the bmp files in Explorer on my PC. If I ask for the folder properties, the PC knows the gifs are in there but just won't show them. Any ideas?

That's no problem, yuou need photoshop or fireworks to view gif files. Maybe paint will view them also, i don't know
davehutch, yes in order to backup your existing dialler files you just need to copy the files in your PPC "windows" folder to a desktop folder. If you don't see all the files on desktop, go in Tools -> Folder Options and make sure that "Hide Protected Operating System Files" is not ticked.
I made a backup of the files and was able to restore backto default skin by just copying the files back.
Kept the intelidialler skin though ;-) I liked that, much neater than the default.
Hi guys,
I made a CAB file with 9 WM5 themes in it.
It are all "normal" themes, no pictures and stuff in it, just different colors!
Just install the file and select a new them from "Start --> Settings --> Today"
These themes are in the file:
Windows_Black.tsk
Windows_Black_2.tsk
Windows_DarkBlue.tsk
Windows_DarkBlue_2.tsk
Windows_Green.tsk
Windows_Green_2.tsk
Windows_Orange.tsk
Windows_Purple.tsk
Windows_Red.tsk

Hi Molski,
thanks for all the good stuff you publish but I think you attached
the wrong zip. It won´t install the WM5 themes instead it installs
the Molski.Biz StartUp Manager!
On your website I couldn´t find the WM5 themes cab.
Could you please attach the real deal because I am really looking
forward to some new colors.
Thanks in advance!
FREIMAURER
Hmm.

Sorry guys, will add the right cab in a hour.

I downloaded the file and it works like it should. No problems at all with extracting the zip archive.
Inside the zip archive is a CAB file, copy that to your Wizard and execute it.

Hi lifendet,
you are probably using the windows xp integrated file compression technique.
Check here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Compression-tools/
for a free zip tool which can handle zipped (compressed) files better.
I use winrar (not free) for extracting files and did not have any problems with
Molski´s WM5 Themes.
Hope this helps!

I always use WinRAR. After the trial period is over you only get some pop-up that you can buy it, just close the pop-up and keep on doing your thing
Molski
Yep, that is also true! And you don´t even get the nag screen if you
just extract files an don´t open the archive with winrar.
molski, when do you think you´ll get your 2.26 rom with the 2.47 radio rom
finished?
I am really looking forward to this one
Thanks and have a good one
FREIMAURER
thanks guys I got it to work...sweeeet
Thanks so much for the themes. I like the Black one, though, like others have said, it comes out grey (w/ a little blk) on my device, it still looks hot.
Is there anyway to get a Black dialer to match this theme too?
Thanks in advance.

i couldn't apply a background picture
thnx man,it worked,unlike wm5 it took way too long
I still don't know why theme creators don't make a cab file of their themes. The only thing a theme is made of are manila files. With a cab file you also don't need the TFL3D config program. Simply click the .cab file on your device and you're done.
@ Theme makers: there is a application named Qickcab.exe. Cabs are so easy to use and you get rid of all the repeating questions on how to install .theme files.....

I think it's already a great favor that the theme creators make all the gorgeous themes and generous enough to share them with us (they could keep the glory to themselves, look at those gold and diamond themes. We could have been drooling at them instead of showing them off on our diamonds). Do you think we are asking a bit too much to ask the theme creator to make the new theme and then ask them, "why don't you make the .theme file as I don't bother to convert the .png to manila files? Why don't you make the .cab file even saving my time to install diamond config?" I think as fellow xda-developers who know what to do, we can help out by making them instead of asking the creators to do it themselves. Or create yet another sticky faq to explain it. imho. Anyway, I bet even when .cab is created, somebody would still post a question asking what to do with the .cab he downloaded.
I fully agree but its a hard work too to copy all files to windows folder...a theme file or cab isnt so much price to do for them. I think..maybe anyone of them dont know how to do it so why dont advice them...
Ok, sorry guys, in my previous posting it wasn't my intention to piss the theme creators off. I respect their hard work. But I find it a bit strange the way .themes have to be installed. First you have to install TFL3D config utility and then you have to make some additional steps to install a theme. Why not keep it simple and create a cab file of the theme ?
I think the knowledge of the theme creators is good enough to also find out how to create a cab file out of it.
Also creating a cab is a 3 click process. Takes only 30 secs extra
Will make a short guide how to make a cab in a moment.
The reason i make theme files instead of cabs is the file size..
I agree cab files is much easier, but they just get too big with a cab!
I use cab files for minor changes, like a clock or some icons...
exampel..
Vista Ultimate Theme.theme - 1560kB
Vista Ultimate Theme.cab - 9070kB

Ok that's a big difference. But How many files are in your themes ? Do you put all the manila files in it, or just the changed ones ?
In the end both will be 9070kB But I got your point.
theme file is much better than cab which cant be always uninstalable (experience with some clocks fot TF3D) and it isnt for me such a sacrifice to such a great themes to install this user friendly program

I have about 450 files... And I made it as small as possible..
It's not just the image files...
And it depends on who is installing it...
If you have the same TF3D as I have it would be enough to just install the changed files...
but If you have another TF3D you have to replace some other files too...

I think copying manila files is easier than installing as .theme (I haven't tried .cab so I can't say anything on that). I usually do it via bluetooth. All I need to do is to beam the relevant files (via bluetooth) and then move them to /windows (using Total Commander because you can select a batch of files to move instead of one-by-one). It doesn't take much time as the relevant files are not a lot (e.g. for the gold diamond theme, just fewer than 20 files). Simple drag and drop will do.
so first of all there is 200+ files so you have some lite version maybe
the second thing...Im using resco exp which is the best for me and every replace file in ROM i have to confirm very stupid, common File explorer is the same and I wont install another explorer just for installing themes...
Guys,guys,all That Is Good But I Still Didn't Get The Answer,why Can't I Put The Background Picture That Comes With The Theme In Th Background ? It Just Gives Me A Plain Background

200+ files for a theme? Well, I have tried the darkred/darkblue, gold, gold with diamond themes and they only have <20 files involved (all found in the thread Themes for TouchFlo3D). Where did you get the 200+ file theme? And don't use Resco exp. Use Total Commander instead. I have both on my diamond and Total Commander has an option "yes to all" (similar to Windows replace command) and all I need to do is to select the group of files, find the directory to move to and then "move" then "yes to all" and done. Just a few clicks on the diamond will do.
Or alternatively, you can wire connect your diamond to the PC and move everything from your pc (so that you don't need to touch any primitive file explorer on your diamond).
guys,r u gonna keep arguing & not answer my question,i installed a theme & came out very good but without the background,so how can i apply the background to it?

hi.. sorry about that
Just slide to the settings tab in TF3D and there you can select 'background'...
You have to copy the background file to your phone first
thanks man,although it looks like it's very obvious but touchflo is a new thing to me i'm used to wm5
Sorry for posting guys.... i've searched a lot in this forum but i can't find this exactly theme...
I just found another white theme but it doesen't have the white squares on the background,and the upper bar its white and not black like this one....
thank you and sorry for bothering.

No... It's been missing for a long time..
and the one circulating I made from the T-mobile theme
But I'm guessing if u find it, it will probably be from an old TF3D version and be slow and sluggish..?
But what I can see... the only difference from standard TF3D and this one is the white background and Black font text...
So It shouldn't be long until we can edit the coding in manila files and change those things hopefully!
than you for your reply.i have extracted the theme from the rom.
all 438 _manila file
it works well. its fast and smooth.
i can upload if you want (they are only _manila files)

Would be very nice if u could upload it

has anyone had trouble using tf3d config utility to apply this theme?
i've renamed the .rar to .theme and when i click apply, tf3d config has encountered an error and tells me to quit and restart.
I rather use tf3d config to apply the theme, jsut so i can revert back to the original theme just incase.
unless someone can make a cab installed for this?

I've put all the files in my Windows folder. Everything works fine(so far as i can see)
Only the clock don't work. It sticks on 0:00 hour..
sorry dubblepost..
you might wanna try doing it again.
i just used resco explorer to manually overwrite the files, and my clock is working perfectly!
nope , resco doesn't do it.
...I took the manila files of the clock en put them in my black theme. Looks nice..
i have overwritten the old _manila file with total commander.
And all works fine.
The file its a rar not a ZIP.
You have to deompress and recompress as a ZIP noa s RAR then rename it as a.theme
it should work

1 unzip and put it memory
2 disable touch flo
3 then copy it in windows folder via rescoe file explore or total commander
Not sure if I followed that correctly, but it doesn't seem to work...
I unzipped the file - it's .theme, not .tsk as the other ones in the Windows folder on the Diamond seem to be?
I then disabled Touch Flo 3D through Settings -> Today, and then copied the theme into the Windows folder on the phone. The Today screen disappears, but even after switching the phone off and on again I don't get the new theme?
Have you re enabled TF3D
Hmmmmmmmm ...
I think it need to be installed with TF3D config ...
agree the upper one

to answer both of you .theme files dont work on all phones, it is something to do with the manila version (i think, but then i dnt really care if im wrong as i know a solution lol)
the solution is simple, rename it to .zip, unzip it, then copy all those files to your windows folder.
many themeing products use zip's disguised as other file extensions, for example, if you download some icons from stardock for use with the iconpackager, and you dont have the iconpackager software, download the icons and rename them from ***.ip to ***.zip then extract them as a zip.
remember anything in a package is compressed, the most common form of compression is zip, if that dont work, then rar!
hope that helps

dope theme, great on batt save, and classy..just the way i like the themes.
i cant mess with it tho..if it aint in TF3D format, it aint for me.

You must rename file to .theme and install via tf3d config.That is all.

Still can't get this to work
I really like the looks of this theme but can't get in on my Fuze.
It seems to go through the motions of installing it from TF3D config, but after the final reboot and turning touchflo back on, I get a mostly white theme with a screwy clock.
Not sure what you mean by "rename it to .theme" when it already is.
And your fix of renaming it to .zip and then unzipping just gets me 361 zip error messages and an empty unzip folder.

then you are unzipping it wrong, i have been doing this with .theme files ever since someone decided that it was a good idea to use them..
(its not a good idea BTW because you have to have an old version on manila to run the .theme)
just rename the file to .zip and extract it. it not hard:
1: Download real_black.zip
2: Extract and get real_black.theme
3: Rename real_black.theme -> real_black.zip
4: EXTRACT
(i know this works as i have just done it before typing this last sentence!!)
Won't show up
I read through this thread and followed how to install but it didn't work out for me. I even tried the TF3D config. Can someone help me out a more step by step little new at this stuff. Would really appreciate the help.
