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
Really really really nice...thanks, dude..

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.
Late,

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.
Vodafone device
I have a Vodafone branded device, and I installed this theme. But in every page I have a white background (because it's branded). Does anybody know how I can make every page black?

new welcomehead
Here is a welcomehead.96 (bootscreen) for those, who have no prophet. Look at your own welcomehead´s name in windows, and give this file the same name (welcomehead-96.png or welcomehead96.png....), make a backup of your file and replace it with the new.
After some questions:
Pocket CM Theme is not for version 0.16, only 0.15
Thx for so many downloads until today. Don´t forget, that you need to download all files for the installation. I couldn´t put them all in one folder.

There are some steps to do:
First use total commander and search for *.png- and *.brn-files in windows on your ppc. Mark them all and unmark in the properties "Read only". It takes a little while, then the write protection of your files is removed. Look at the name of our own welcomehead in windows and give the welcomehead from spiderman-theme-folder the same name. Sometimes they have different names like welcomehead96 or welcomehead.96 and so on. Copy all your downloaded *.png, *.brn and *.tsk-files files into windows. The ring must be taken to Windows/Ring. If you have a touch-like dialer, you can also use the dialer files. The usual wm6 dialer cannot be styled with these files, i heard from another user. The best is, to make a copy of your old files, if you want to replace them sometimes. Make a soft-reset and look, if your cube looks in the new style. If not, go into registry: HKLM/Software/HTC and look into your folder "Biotouch"/"Biotouch", what´s the path for the files there. It must be \Windows\A01.brn... not \Ext_Rom\A01.brn... I integrated a Biotouch.reg into the download folders. Compare the entries with your biotouch.reg. If you have the same entries, you can replace it with my file. Otherwise you must rename your paths manually from Ext-Rom to Windows. So your pocket pc read the windows files. The today theme can be selected in Start/Settings/ Today.
If you have pocket cm until version 0.15, you can take the cmt-file into your folder Program files/ Pocket CM and choose this theme in the program. Poicket CM 0.16 is not supported.
It´s a little work, but if you have done it once, you can use other themes in the same way.
I'm Really Having A Hard Time Trying To Install A Theme On My Diamond,would Somebody Plz Help Me Out?

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

Sorry for posting guys.... i've searched a lot in this forum but i can't find this exactly theme...

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)

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

There are places on XDA to get the original theme back, or you can drag all of the manila files from the windows folder into a folder on your PC to copy them and save for later. Yes you put them in the windows folder with all of the files in it. Just drag over from PC desktop to windows folder and soft reset.

Yea, so when i try to put the files into the /windows folder, its hard to do since there ISNT a windows folder when looking at the device on my computer. What should i do?!
So I'm new to all of this. I bought a touch diamond with Sprint just last week and stumbled upon this site for themes and apps. It seems to be a very cool site for customization, but i've been wondering where should i start if i want to make my own themes? I got CFC and Manila editor. Are there tutorials or manuals on using those programs? And is there a way to extract the preinstalled theme that came with my phone so i can modify it? Thanks for any help.

To extract your phone's TF3D files
To extract your phone's TF3D theme, connect it to your computer using Activesync (XP) or WMDC (Vista) and click on "Explore Files". While exploring your devices files, navigate to the Windows folder of your cell phone then sort the files by type. Look for a collection of files that end in "manila" (there should be ALOT). Copy EVERY file that ends with .manila from your device to a folder on your computer (give it a couple minute as there are many files to copy).
To copy manila files to a manila editor
Using either Manila Editor of CFC GUI (i personally think CFC GUI is much easier to use because it gives me less errors), click on "File" and "Select Folder" to navigate to the folder where you copied the manila files on your computer. Select the folder and the files will be loaded into the program
To make your own theme
Once you have copied the manila files and loaded them into either Manila Editor or CFC GUI, the next step is to replace some of the icons with the ones you want for your theme. In CFC GUI (I havent used Manila Editor and dont remember the buttons for this so I cant instruct how to use it), click on any of the files and you will get a preview of it. If you would like to SAVE that icon in a png format to edit (with Photoshop/Gimp etc.) click on "SAVE AS" and choose the directory in which you would like to save it. To replace a manila file with your own, click on the file then select "REPLACE WITH" and choose your file (NOTE: The file you choose absolutely MUST be the same size as the original. If the original file is 128x128, the file you replace it with must also be 128x128).
Thanks jrodi. Im thinkin of making one myself too. But I wasnt sure if the icon size has to be the same as original.

There are multiple ways to install a theme to your device but ill go through the easiest and quickest method using Total Commander
1) Copy the manila files that you changed to a new folder on your phone (Give this folder the name of your theme). Turn off the TF3D plugin (Settings/Today/Items/ Uncheck Tf3d). Then use Total Commander to find the new folder and copy all of the files in the folder to the Windows directoty of your device. If you get a prompt, select "Overwrite All" and give it a minute to replace the files. Soft reset your device and youre done
