hi
does anyone know where the native skin/theme files are for JJ? i dont mean the .tsk files i mean the (probably .dll) that controls the skin layout
forexample like there is a mui file that if replaced with custom images replaces the native wait thingie you see when the ppc is busy
im thinking if we can find and replace the actual .dll or mui file that controls the skin/theme (wifi, connection ,volume etc icons ) on the top bar then we can do soooo much more without having to install wa2 ...
dont get me wrong i love wa2 (i have it on with WAD now)
also like when you select ur own theme (.tsk file) ive seen that not all colors are shown as they were when the vga .tsk was created like you cant have a black theme ...wm5 will change it to gray and so on
so if you have any idea which file to mess with let me know..
id try myself but dont know which ones to look for and those i tried copying over to memory card or to pc via AS ..I GET A CANT COPY ERROR
Hi,
I'm trying to create a theme for a Dopod 838 Pro ( HTS Herems/TyTN ).
All I want is for the top and bottom bars to be red, all font to be white, and have my custom image insterted, so it loks right when flipped.
I don't want to have to screw around with XML files, if can be avoided.
So, What i've done is, got my hands onto a theme that has the attributes that I'm after.
It comes in TSK format.
So I opened the file with OCP cab manger, extracted it, substituted the images for my own and rebundled the file as a CAB.
Well, I did think it would work.
I was wrong
What is different between a CAB and TSK file ?
Why can't Cab Manager save them and have it operate as it was before.
?

cab == windows mobile install program
tsk == a theme file
the bolts and nuts are just different
@rudegar: actually a theme file is a cab file only
@twinair: WM treats tsk files as "special" cabs. when u select a tsk, apart from installing the underlying cab, it also does a few other things that control the skinning behaviour in wm. Search for "basehue" in the forum...
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?

GSen.......
EDIT:
now, from everyone's response, the skin is not like the screen cap as shown, right?
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...
a plus

i'have a same problem
can you help me?
I have used certain CAB files from the Diamond forum to change my clock, icons and windows icons but would like to know if anyone has used the manila customizer to change things.
My reason for asking is that there is a set of icons I like but are only available as a zip file containing the manila folder. Also to remove the curtains I have only found zip files.
Look here:

Thanks for that. Ive read that thread but not taken in fully as I was looking at the screens rather than the how to .
