Is it possible to have a different background picture for each of my touchflo tabs??
No not yet only background changeable is the home tab
There must be a way to change the background. Or at least to have the same background under all the different tabs? I mean. its just a picture file right?
thats what i thought, hope you guys come up with a solution soon
i found the manila files (it's 2 images; one mirroring the other) for the brick image, but i dont know which file for the black area on top of the brick Does anyone know?
Which manila files?

@lude219:
Can you tell us which manila files you found responsible for choosing between the two colors for the backgroundimage? Thanx.

I have seen various posts about changing paths and icons in the cube, but what i would like to know is . Is there a way of having it match your today screen instead of charcoal colour. Imagine having your theme Guava bubbles and your cube reflecting the same.Would be nice if someone could come up with a way
I Think you've juste to edit and chnge each color of uour *.png installed in your Windows directory or HTCHome directory
Just copy them to your Windows Desktop to view which one you have to edit
and then replace them
The only problem is that the animations themselfs (when the cube is actualy moving) are hardcoded. It shows when you have some different icons on the cube. When rotating, the old icons appear on the locations you had new ones
I think someone was trying to edit the animation as well.
The animation is actually a sort of movie thing so it uses less resources. Its hard to change it, since no one knows the format But someone is editting it so it moves different I thought.
The animation is formed of multiple ".brn" files. There is an application to transform brn to bmp but nothing to merge from bmp to brn so for the moment no color edition is posible during the animation.
thanks for all the info people. much appreciated. i guess with time this situation will change but for now will keep default. cant see no point in changing something if its gonna use defaults as soon as you rotate.

so it would be at least possible to "debrand" a branded cube when I take the .brn files of an unbranded Touch?

Try to overwrite all the *.brn files in \windows with the attached original HTC ones and your cube should be debranded - but you have the icons from HTC and the links "behind" the icons from your provider.
It is possible that they are different.
If you want to get back simply delete all those files and your original ROM files should come back instead.
But to be save backup all your*.brn files before
I think it should also be possible to overwrite the hh_launcher*.png icons.
Simply disable the HTC Home element in your today screen settings before overwriting these files. Should work in my opinion
Where are the rest of the animation BRNs

Hey, I downloaded your zip file, but it was missing several animation brns. I'm looking for the following in the same original HTC format.
A2.brn, A4.brn, B2.brn, B4.brn, C2.brn, C4.brn
Thanks!
Or,....
You just take these "clean" files and have no icons on the rotating cube .
I'm not in a mood of sorting them out for you just download and take a look wich ones you need
Greetz,
I'm working on modifying the sprint theme but have run into a couple of problems.
Firstly I no longer have network name, after getting rid of Sprint logo.
Secondly semi transparent curtains no longer work, they're either solid or not there at all.
Lastly can not change the select colour from the orange/yellow default built in colour. I've explored the tsk file, and explored the _setup.xml file inside but can not make changes, I think I have identified the values for the select colour, but for the life of me can not work out how to edit it even if I knew what the values of other colours are.
Does anyone know how to fix these things.
I've been all the way through the manila files and managed to change everything else but these.
Any help would be good thanks.
OK made a little progress can get the home screen to use semi-transparent curtains, but all other tabs have only solid curtains or no curtains, is there a manila file I'm missing and havent changed, or mistakenly changed?
Screenshots soon.
I am curious if this would be possible. I doubt that it is, otherwise someone would have likely done this by now, but is it possible to have the windows taskbar (as well as the bar with the softkeys on the bottom) be clear so that you can see the full image in TF3D, with the icons and writing over top of it just like the slider and icons?
I understand that even if this is possible, it could run in to a few problems once you are no longer in TF3D, because from what i understand you can't have the taskbar be different colours depending on what the phone is doing.
Anyways, is it possible, yay or nay?
Nay.
Yay, with wisbar advance.
can??? haw?
Thanks kraize,I have never used wisbar advance, can you actually make it clear or would I have to skin it with the photo?

Not sure about that one. I know that one person skinned it with a photo to make it look clear. I know you can make it very close using transparency. But don't know if it'd be completely clear.
It is possible, there is a program out there called "PMC TodayShrink", im sorry i don't have a link for it, i used it on my kaiser to see the full today screen ( i had a nice rl today theme) but with the kaiser i had enough buttons to simulate the hidden softkeys, but with the diamond this will be something else......
Edit: i think i misunderstood you here, did you mean transparent?
Yeah, transparent. I don't want to remove the taskbar and softkeys, i just want to make the black bars transparent or rather, completely remove any colour so that it just looks like the softkey writing is on the background picture. Exactly like with the no curtains .cab, where the date and the service provider writing now just looks like it is on the background picture.
And i checked out wisbar advance 3.0 and that could potentially work by just creating a skin for it that will just continue the background picture, but it also changes / adds a lot that i don't want.
Bumping this thread....Is it now possible to make the black bars that house the taskbar and softkeys transparent when using TF3D2?
A transparent bar would be awesome, but I realize this isn't as simple.
What I would like to know is how to change the colour of the bars?
I know is is possible, because I've seen WM6.1 themes that has the taskbar coloured.
I would just like to make the bar something a little more exciting than plain black.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found a little program here on XDA that changes the taskbar colour along with some text colours, as well. Really awesome program! It can be found here.

There are a bizillion ways to accomplish this... editors galore... but the simplest way IMO is to use a .tsk file. They're all over, but I have collected several - both shiny bars and flat matte. I've posted my screen to show one shade of purple (I have two)... Just apply your TF3D theme and choose a complimentary tsk file... It will change all of the windows colors (ie, menus, scrollbars, taskbars, etc.), but not those of TF3D. It is my experience that those colors remain true to the theme. However, there are several "focus" cabs around that will change the TF3D selected items colors.
I have several colors in both styles (and a few focus colors)... if there is something in particular you have in mind, let me know and I'll upload it if I have it.

Thanks a lot for the help offer, I must probably have just found the solution when you replied.
Just about anything concerning manila I already have covered and have an extensively modified theme for manila, I'm just waiting for a particular slider that will complete my TF3D theme. Slider
A coloured taskbar was the next step and now I have that covered, as well :-D
I've attached a screenie of my today screen. The clock I made myself; it was supposed to look like carbon, but I failed, sadly. I like your clock, though, but it won't fit with my theme.
Thanks again. I appreciate it a lot and just might call on your help one day :-D
EDIT: Okay, seems I needed your help earlier than I expected :-D
How did you get your "start" text to show "Maureen"? I followed the steps posted at PPCGeeks by Tsowen (don't have the link with me now), but I can't find the string they're referring to in my shellres.192.dll :/
Oh, and how did you get the "alarm" text to go away, as well? As you can see, mine still shows "6:00 AM" for my alarm and I'm not sure which text to remove from the manila file to hide that, as well.

I modified the file "shellres.dll.0409.mui" to change the start text... string value 321, by following the same instructions to which you refer...

It's not gone... it's just gray. Not sure how it got that way, though. LOL If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Sorry I wasn't any more help. I seem to remember having to try, try again with the Start text, though. See if you have better luck using the file I've indicated above. Here are the instructions as I saved them:
Change Start Text
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

Your search has ended...
I found these searching around... the first zip contains two shades of purple shiny bars, the wm_purple contains flat bars. I am also attaching a purple WMP (the original, just purple) skin which matches 75769.tsk... portrait and landscape (PURPORIG.zip). Just unzip and copy the files into Windows (after you make a back up of the originals, of course).
I hope this helps... xoxo

Would be cool if you/someone could make a taskbar.tsk which is black gloss, the htc black is just total black so it's a bit ugly Also I need to ask, I can't seem to put my Diamond in portrait mode in WMP even tho I have a skin for it. What's wrong? :E

Have you tried opening WMP while already in landscape mode? I have a touch pro and mine won't go landscape until I slide out the keyboard. Do a search for apps that address the g sensor/accelerometer (I thnk...LOL).
Below is a cab for "glossy black bars"... I've never tried it. I also have a tsk file with shiny gray bars... might be a good contrast to your theme.

Hi everyone,
This is my first ever cab so I thought I'd share it with you all.
I love the TF3D interface but my Rhodium came shipped with a black theme with green highlights. Green has never been one of my favourite colours so I decided to change it to blue.
I dug through all the manilla files & windows images and replaced every green image I could find with a blue one.
I'm not too sure how if this will work on other devices... I would assume the manila files won't be a problem on any device running TF3D but I'm not too sure about windows image files... Please use at your own discretion
Feel free to let me know if I missed any
My thanks to chainfire for CFC GUI - this application made my life so much easier
Please Note:
The images for the green colour scheme are contained in both Manila and the Windows directory images.
If you install the manila cab only, you'll notice many elements are still green, like the On/Off selector on the Communications Tab and the highlights in the dialer.
I'm not too sure why it was developed this way, but I have decided to split my cab up for those of you who don't wish to overwrite your Windows files.
I've also included a cab for the stock windows files in case you want to revert to the stock theme. You can revert the manila files by simply uninstalling that cab.
Enjoy
mmm, nice, I'm install it, but tab slider is in top of the active icon.
in Opera doesn't work, as is as, explorer, task bar, an all windows scheme, but is nice... good job!

This theme just replaces image files. The highlights in explorer etc can be changed by using Max TTM as these are not images but a system setting
I would include this is the theme but I don't how how...
Thanks for the compliment though, I'm glad you like it

I have the same issue and I was disappointed. But when I restore the backup (without hard reset) I did just before testing, icons appears and blue modifications are kept ! See image below :

Some of the changes remain after uninstall because some are images from the Windows directory and not in manilla files... I had a similar problem when installing another colour scheme theme from the forum. I will upload a cab tonight with the default files which should take you back to the green scheme.
I'm not too sure what you guys mean when you say "tab slider is in top of the active icon"... perhaps it's an issue with your existing custom theme. I installed this on my stock manilla theme and all works fine. Can you post a screenshot of this?
All I've done is open up the image files and changed the colours. There's no other configurations in my cab, just existing file replacements
I've uploaded the stock Windows files - check post #1
I also split up the theme cab into two parts, Manila files & Windows files so you can choose not to replace your Windows files if you don't wish to
Tried this on my VZW Rhodium over my stock theme. Now my phone dialer won't work, I have giant green circles around every selected tab, and the radio button dots now have small "phone" images inside them. Phone is utterly useless, and will require a hard reset, since your cabs cannot be uninstalled, and I can't install the windows stock cab.
Epic fail, man.

You have a branded Rhodium so naturally this will be a problem.
A lot of other people, including myself, have installed this with no problems at all.
Please do some reading on what you can and cannot do on YOUR handset before flaming other member's contributions.
Thanks i love it. hope its work at my Omnia 2
Its installed sucessful at my device without error.
but i dont know how to change color scheme
Hi idrak3,
This theme/colour scheme is only available for Manila. Are you running a custom ROM on your Omnia with Touch Flo? If not, I'm afraid this won't work for you
Hi all, theres no one who can post me the manila files to put into windows folder of a transparent slider? i don't need a cab file but only manila files.
thank you!
I am not sure if our problems are related, but If you are talking about what I think you are... I am looking for this too.
On the one side, I can edit my TF3d look, slider, and all that... however, on any slider I install, the square that highlights the current tab still has the Icons from the stock rom, Orange and plain. Don't get me wring, they are alright, but when the slider has different Icons on it from the original Orange Icons, it kind of clashes.
Anyone able to help me remedy this problem? I would be very grateful.
EDIT: By the way, I have the sprint Touch Pro 2 (Manila Version 2.1.38416.1)
