I love TF3D icons from Panosha's 1.8 new ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405728
Any idea where to get them as a .cab or .theme file?
that theme looks sick... can't someone just simply copy the manilla files and .cab them or just .theme them???
man therei s such poor support for theme collection. they are scattered all over the place and it's like u gotta hunt for themes lol
hopefully they can all be centralized.
why not just flash the ROM.. thats if you have a diamond of course!
lol @ mightymike84 'u gotta hunt for themes'.
sometimes you have got to work for the things you want.
they are not always handed to you on a plate.
why dont you extract these files and make them into a
cab if you want them.
it is not difficult to do and theres plenty of advise on
here how to do it.
sure i can use manila editor or even cook my own rom (if i had the knowledge)
or I could simply PM Panosha and ask him to give me the file
but either way i would not need to make a post, would I ?
actually i flashes panosha ROM and that's why i like these icons, but the problem is that with so many roms "flashing" in this forum every day, what to do if i want to keep the icons (in a easy way...)
and with so many posts and threads about themes and icons (and not only for diamond) I wondered if someone knew where to download this icons collection, but thanks anyway
//edit: I edited the Topic name so that all people using TouchFlo2D rather than only people using udKsyrius come and check this out. Most of the skins that are released/going to be released are actually more TF2D related than syrius.//
First off, I want to thank udK for the great rom. It has its flaws but Im sure you will fix this. Anyway, I wanted to contribute to this beautiful design so I made an image and an animation for the boot sequence that match the syrius look, the last "WM61" image is vista inspired. Hopefully udK will use the "udKsyrius.bmp" in ROMUpdateUtility in his future syrius roms, no offence. The .zip is attached at the bottom of this post.
Note: The preview is here to give an idea of the sequence and is not like the real thing which is a bit faster and better.

I do not take responsibility for anything that might go wrong during the following steps. I had no problems trying this out and neither should you.
1. Extract the all files.
2. Connect your Polaris to the PC.
3. copy files "WM61.png" and "syrAnimated.gif" to "\windows\" directory
4. Use a registry editor (like PHM registry editor) and modify the following keys:
(a) "\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupGif\" to "\Windows\syrAnimated.gif"
(b) "\HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\GIFFile\" to "\Windows\syrAnimated.gif"
(not sure what the difference between (a) and (b) is but when I only changed one of them, can't remember which one, the animation was not updated)
(c) "\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen\MSBitmap\ to "\Windows\WM61.png"
(d) "\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen\CarrierBitmap\ keep? "\Windows\welcomehead96.png"
(not sure what this last one (d) does, doesnt seem to do anything in the syrius r0 rls. I did not change this key)
5. Last but not least you open the "ROMUpdateUtility" folder and flash your Polaris with the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe".
(note: even though this is a very simple step you should not do it if you are not familiar with flashing ROMs.)

Also, I have an iContact and a S2U2 design in the same look as Touchflo2D and then an, in my opinion, visual improvement to the TF2D digital clock. All this will be given to you in the next couple of days. Dont hesitate to suggest other apps where the TF2D look can be applied. If this is a program that is popular or I could find usefull then I would be happy to make a skin.

Touchflo2D digital clock improved looks with whiter digits.
(note: zip is attached to first post)
Default (L) vs ice-digits (R)
In the default version of the digital clock all the images are transparent but in the ice-digits the numbers and the colon is non-transparent making them whiter. Since I dont use the AM/PM image I left it as it is, also it can be a nice look to have it a bit transparent while the numbers are white. I used the same font so there should be no other difference in looks other than the ice-digits being whiter and because its in a zip file you can combine it to your own liking having the colon transparent if you want.

I do not take responsibility for anything that might go wrong during the following steps. I had no problems trying this out and neither should you.
1. Extract the files.
2. Connect your Polaris to the PC.
3. Copy file "hh_hm_colon.png" and files "hh_hm_digit_X.png" (note X=every number) from "ice-digits" to "\windows\"
(If you want to go back to the default look do step 2. and 3. but use the files from the default folder)

Nice good work
Nice initiative!
I am trying to get t9 in other languages with a cab specifically for syrius. My first goal is Dutch, but other languages should be easy once I got one working. But I have some difficulties, for instance the shareware version of wince cab manager doesn't support importing of reg files. Are there programs better capable of handling cab files? I don't find it worth 100 bucks...
The cab I'm working on is based on the Modaco multilanguage pack. It got all the kdb files needed, I just need to get the registry changed correctly...

Ok man, but I dont know very much about that kind of stuff. I have designs and skinning as a hobby and in that field ask me anything, but other than that I dont know very much. Al I can say about your issue is that I tried a swedish t9 and now none of the t9s work but I dont think that is any help at all...
Update!
Touchflo2D digital clock and iContact skin uploaded, watch first post!
I got different languages working on different roms other than syrius, but the strange thing is that because of the differences between the roms there isn't a global solution. First I have to get it to work with syrius and then I'm going to make cabs for different versions.
It's going to take some time, I have to do it in my spare time
A total of 142 downloads but only a few comments...
I guess this is going to sound kind of pathetic but I want som friggin feedback... I dont see the point of releasing anymore of these skins if theres barely any reaction to it.
Peace!

Here it is - my critical comment. )
I`d downloaded and installed theme for iContact and dicovered a problem on Sirius R0 - that bottom butts are not skinned, they are workin fine but with incorrect images above.
(when i`ll know how to attach pictures i would place the screnncapture with the bug)

Liquidice, what verision of iContact do you use? Coz your skin doesn't work with iContact Burt Edition.
Nice skinz, thank you! Waiting for further customization.

Thx, mate.
Im using "iContact v0.8 - supware.net" and as far as I know this is the only version Its been tried on.
(added to first post)
btw. Whats different in Burts edition, is it better than v0.8?
Should I maybe do a skin for that one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724&highlight=burt
It has much more functions. It would be nice, if you'll create a skin for it.
And what about skinning in Mannilla2d style G-alarm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?)t=422362&highlight=g-alarm?
liquidice, your clock fix was well received! thank you!
i use itje's touch-it 3.5 rom, and installed icontact 0.8 and applied your skin and clock fix and all work fabulously! kudos!
Hello again,
I've got a lot requests about the Icons I use on my System because of my "Real VGA WMP Manila Skin" Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3044289&postcount=25
So, I've modded nearly my complete System with custom made icons. I used ResHacked and siggner to apply the icons to the exe's and System Files. You can search the forum if you don't know how to do that.
I searched for a cooker who wants to work with me to bring out a ROM with a complete redone Iconset, but it looks like no ones want to do this with me.
So I decided to release my Icon "Standalone".
Since I don't know if it would be OK (because of Copyrights or things like that) to post here the complete modded Programs with the costom exes you have to integrate the icons by yourself.
If you would like an Icon for a special Program just post it here and I try to do one for you.
Thats enough for now...
Have fun... fRED
Here again some Screens
Some more...
Can you make these icons for the settings too , very nice!
Funny that you're asking. I just do these types of icons for Setting, so yes, I can do *g*
But you have to be patient for some days.
fRED
I think this is really amazing, do you have some installation instructions for the not so clever like myself to install?
Also, do you have or could you make icons for TomTom for MSN Messenger... Please?
This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Sean
I've made your requested icon for MSN/TomTom + Mobiler, because I use mobiler quite often now *g*
Update in first Post
fRED
Wow just beautiful! i really like these icons...
Thanks a lot!
How to install? Just copy to /windows?
No, it's not that easy! Look at my first post. You have to use ResHacker to apply the icons to each .exe.
I don't want to post the exe's directly cause there could be copyright problems. Also there would be problems with different languages and Version Numbers of the files/exes.
The dll's which are integrated in the pack are also German one's. If you want to apply them to an english version just extract the modded icons.
At the moment I don't want to explain how you use ResHacker to exchange icons. It's not that difficult. Just Google or search here in the forum.
Maybe anyone other wants to explain it here, than I add it to the first post.
regards,
fRED
ok thanks man i will try it
is it possible to use on Touch HD?
Of course, you have to replace the icons directly in the exes. So this works everywhere.
fRED
Thank you so much for doing that for me, your a credit to the forum matey. Keep up the good work, ill be keepin an eye on your future projects and this one, dont stop, create!
Sean Saunders
I really love those Icons.
Could you release them in .png format so they would be compatible with D-Mans Idiamond programme launcher?
Hi !
Nice work, but can you make a .cab for lazzy guys like me ?
Would be great !
Thanks
Great work, really great work at all! I'll use these icons in my own ROM now!
really great work!! thanks for the fantastic icons!
but there are just two things:
1) could you make the corners a little bit more round? they look a bit squared actually.
2) could you provide png files instead of ico, please?
Hi BlockbusterF!
First of all, I like your Iphone icons! I tried to cook a rom, and replace the original icons by your iphone style icons. If you interested in a ROM with your icons, we should make a cooperation. I make the rom, and you make the icons that we need for a fully iphone icon style rom.
I will use the new HTC 2.00 base rom for basic. First I need learn to cook a rom (now it's on ). I will get off some HTC application and put my own (maybe make some registry tweak too), and then make the iphone style.
If you interested in the idea, contact me!
PLEase say yes.....

i guess its my dream come true. i have been looking for such a ROM since the time iphone came in existance. it will be like best of both worlds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374571may be here you can get some idea, ( but for diamond i would really vouch for iDiamond project of Dman666, as it involves the manila files direstly.
Blockbuster, great work! I've actually gone through all the work to import them into my files and they look amazing. It's quite a lengthy process, took me nearly 2 hours to get 'em all done. On top of that I was having some difficulties with a few icons (namely the RSS Hub icon and tasks) but I've got it worked out.
I thought I'd make a contribution to the project, I've made an icon for the app Diamond SensorScroll in the style of yours. See attached zip.

All is in the title, How can we get images from TP2 TF3D to edit them ?
Go to your Windows folder and copy out every single _manila file. Then load Manila Editor which can be found by searching XDA and go through them 1 by 1 to see which is which and then replace the images with ones created.
There are about 400 files, its time consuming

true and nicelad_uk did a nice job, dont know the time you spend on it, or is it better not to ask
With Manila Editor, we can just put images in manila but we cant get them !
I don't wanna just make a theme, I want also make Apps in Manila style !
I didn't precise it but i have an HD with a TP2 Rom (Miamiam's Mia 2.3 in french)

Not true, You can export the images as PNG.
Manila Editor 0.2 works. I finally got the icons that I wanted. Thanks nicelad_uk.
You can also use CFC 0.55.
Search for this it also has a nice GUI.
I had problem with CFC 0.55. It was much easier to use but some how could not get the icons to work.
sorry for asking, but is anyone of you willingly to share the images/icons of the HTC Touch Pro 2 with me?
I'm looking to create my own Today theme, same as I did for my Kaiser, but it's simply not working.. I'm using ThemeGenCE 2.6 from here: http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1523
Problem is when I create it, it looks fine in ThemeGenCE but when I load it I just get a very generic looking Today screen with a green/blue fade looking background and blue top/bottom bars, Start Menu (QuickMenu) is a white background.
I've been using the "Classic Blue" theme which is okay, but wanted to change the background, it all looks fine when I use it. So I copied that to my computer, loaded it into ThemeGenCE, only changed the images, saved it back, still the same generic looking theme.
Anyone know how to create traditional Today themes for 6.5? Note again! I want to create a Today theme, not a Manilla/TF3D/etc theme! I don't use TF3D, I use Pocket Plus.
Attaching an example of what the theme looks like when I try to load it..
Search my friend. It has been discussed in this forum a lot of time before. 6.5 themes are based on reg. So you need to have those reg in your theme.
Best way is to take classic blue, rename it to cab, then extract reg. Use that in your new theme.
Search and you will find more info. If not hollar, i will give more detailed explanation later.

Huh. And here, all this time I've been using OCP's CAB Extracter to modify the default blue theme to include my own backgrounds... I guess that's called the 'hard way' now.
Okay, maybe I'm confused, because everywere I look are MANILLA themes, not today themes.
I'll look into checking out the theme I'm using as a cab and messing with it, but the rest are all Manilla themes, right? Am I wrong there? For example the Microsoft generator is not for the Today theme right?
Maybe I'm just confused, but I'm pretty sure those references are mainly for Manilla.

The Microsoft generator is for TSK today themes. Manila is made by HTC and therefore, Microsoft doesn't do anything with it.

The only problem with that generator is that it doesn't quite work correctly with 6.5.1 ROMs. Using a CAB editor is still the way to go with 6.5.1.

True that. Personally, I have never used their generator. I just took the Classic Blue and made it into my own.

BTW I tried this thing 4 times last night, it never works. It never seems to create the file and eventually fails and says to restart the browser and try again.. Typical.
Okay I guess I'm an idiot, how do I edit a cab file? I've installed a trial of WinCE CAB Manager and I see the files, but no idea how to extract or replace the files in it.
I just want to replace my two jpg's with the one in the cab, yes? Perhaps some other tool would be better.
EDIT: Duh, drag and drop, uh, a few times, fiddle, drag and drop again... Success!
If anyone wants it, here's my theme, thanks for the help guys! Added the image used to create it as a preview, I could take a screenshot if someone wants.
