Could someone please upload the original manila files?
I got them off my own phone but somehow some pics are crappy so it's kind of strange to edit it... i attached a example of one of the bad pics
Reason is i want to start making my own skins so i can contribute to this community
btw it's been done with manila editor 0.2
or should i use a different app? (if there's one)
a lot of files in manila looks like this U upload here ... There is nothing wrong with it because they look so everywhere ... I think so ... i saw a lot of pictures looks like those in my manila.
there are alot of files to edit and most of them are good, but they all have to be good
its strange that 7d... (for the weather) file is good but the 3f... (i think internet) file isnt.. i think it's just copied wrong.. i'll try to check what files are bad and put it back again but please if someone already has the good files could he/she upload it?
There is nothing wrong with them ! They must be like that because later manila compile them in code and they look like they should. Those "crappy" files are ok. And every manilla got them ...
Don't think that's the case because when i change that file with a edited one it stays white, and it it doesnt only happen with my device.. i think the original rom was corrupted while uploading or something and those files got affected. could someone with a 1.3 rom check the files?
i got only 8 files (i think) that are crappy, but alot of files that are just white... don't know why that is and what they are exactly...

No, I think Krzysiec is right...
There's nothing wrong with the files... they have always been like that..
This is the same reason we can't change the background in Sprint TF3D..
I think sushilange said something about that they are coded differently...
and maybe in a future update of Manila Editor we can probably change them...? (hopefully )
you can try to change the size of the image to 2x2 pixels and give it a colour... then TF3D will show that colour...
dont ask me why.. I only discovered it one day... ???

Great!
Honestly, I like green colour and your dialer and QuickGPS skins are in green. Spendid!
I see this is post, and i make some other theme which more similar to original diamond. I dont now how it is work because I dont have this program (maybe any body who have it is programme take out, because on my device have GPS). I think need change colour fonts (see screen). COPY ORIGINAL PICTURE IN WINDOWS AND NEXT COPY PICTURE WHO YOU DOWNLOAD IN THIS POST. Put new graphics in \Windows. Good lock!!!! If you download this is file you need change colour front, but i dont nown hav it is make. But i make some other theme.
also very nice, but i cant use it because on touchcruise the quickgps uses black textcolor, so it would be unreadable.
I think about colour need a change register, but i dont have quaick GPS ( maybe any bady have instolation this program - .cab) But i make new wersion ( you can see the picture):

There is a spelling mistake in the text of QGPS "katest" should read "latest".
Sorry,
Nogs
spelling mistakes
There are a couple more spelling mistakes besides katest which should be latest. They are "spees" should be "speed" and "date" should be "data".
edit: The spelling doesn't matter because the text is not part of the background file.
thank you!! nice work
Landscape version

Hi, Bluemetalaxe,
Thanks a lot for all, and for the nice QuickGPS skin. A question: is possible to do "landscape" version? I believe that the files are only "portrait".
Thanks thousends in advance.
can anyone make a cab with the black diamond QGPS?
Hi,
I was missing some small clocks that do not block the TF3D background too much.
To solve my "problem" I just created two versions in black and white. One with a semi transparent clock background and one without a clock background.
The actual numbers are a little far away from eachother but experimenting getting them closer gave some nasty image conflicts. If anyone has an solution let me know and I update the clock.
If you are looking for any other color let me know and I get it done for you.
*********************
EDIT: 23 Nov 2008
Version 1.1
Available colors in zip:
Black
White
Updates:
Used a bit better readable font
Updated positioning
Fixed Lower Curtain error
To Do
Change distance between numbers
Make Semi Transparent flip smaller
thank you very much
Very nice but...
... I can't get it to work with Sprint theme. Still have the Sprint clock BG and the : between the numbers
hi thanks for ur clock
But I got one problem after installing ur clock, the touch flo bar at the bottom turned into a thinner style after I have installed ur clock. how can i change it to normal style? thanks
The idea of smaller clock is brilliant, but these are just too small
@g0mib0y
Like mentioned in the readme you should use the diamnond config tool from susilange to restore to original files from you rom. If you do a quick search on the forum you should be able to find the tool to restore your TF3D. Before you restore can you post a screenshot for me to see what happened as it works good on my end. I would like to fix it for eveyone.
@jonson10
I guess that it works different for the sprint rom. I will take a look at this and see how others have get it to work for the sprint ROM.
@usper
I'll take a look at making them a little bigger for you

Find the files that are in the zip in your \Windows folder on your device.
Delete them and soft-reset. They will restore from the ROM.

@ dickenz
Thanx for the follow-up. this is indeed the best thing to do when the diamond config does not do the trick. Weird however seeing that the config tool deletes all the manilla files and restarts so it will be reinstalled from the ROM and should solve the problem.
@ jonson10
I'll take an other look at the issue somewhere today. Which clock did you use the clock with the glassclock background or the one without background? Let me know so I can take a better look at it. There are some files in the glassclock BG that could cause this but I need to know for sure you are using this
i like the idea of a smaller clock, but with the border around the clock still being the same size it eliminates any reason i had to download it i dont suppose you could reduce the size of the border around so the calender etc are pushed up more into the center of the screen?

Works fine with original manilla theme
these look really good, but they are too spaced out, is there anyway to get the clock that size but with less space between the numbers?
another idea i have is, if you used the ones with no background and removed the numbers too!!
NOONE has made an invisible clock yet and it would be the best way to get a full wallpaper
i would really like the invisible clock.
would this be possible?
thanks for your help and your small clock <- EDIT i have just realised how bad that sounded lol sorry
i like your clocks however i am having trouble installing it..i am using Resco explorer to copy the files in the windows directory but i get the following error:
First it says that the destination file is in ROM and that i can damage my system if i continue. After i click on yes i get the following:
Cannot move file xxxxxx. The file already exists.
i tried searching for this but i couldnt succeed until now...
cant anyone help?
Created some updates on the Small Clock You can down load version 1.1 from the first post. Update history is also listed there.

Did you setup the resco explorer to overwrite all files? You can do this under Menu\Options\General than under the tab Files check all boxes and select Copy.
Let me know if that did the trick.
thats how it was set up but it didnt want to work..anyway, i used total commander and it worked..
Ok good to see it was solved any way. It is weird as I use the Resco myself and do not have this issue :-S
Anyway it is solved so that is the most important
Really great work!
What I would really love, is the transparrent one, but with white digits insted of black.
Could you do it?
Pretty please!!!
Cheers,

This is for those of you that have made themes, or know how to make themes in Spb or TouchFLO. I'm looking for a detailed process as to what files get changed, and where they get changed, in order to create themes for these interfaces. I tried a search and got crap results, so I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere already.
While I still don't personally have an X1, I would like to make a nice Theme Creator-type program similar to the good ol' Sony Ericsson Theme Creator. Ideally, this would make the process of pushing out new themes as simple as possible, and everyone could have nice, quality themes for their X1.
If, when you post instructions on the theming process, you could attach an example theme, that would help for comparison-debugging as well. Cheers!
there is no theme aditor for TF3D like you want it
Manually select files and replace the images and hope you don't mess up your theme is the only way to go
search for manila editor/m9editor to do so.
good luck

You completely misunderstood my post. What I want to do is create the program that lets you edit the themes, and what I was asking for was detailed information on what files need changed, and how they need to be changed.

as i have seen until now, theming with spb is very crappy. cant understand while there is no company or programmer that makes something usefull out of our xperias. my last hope for now is the windows mobile 6.5 build...

I would gladly make such a theming program if someone would tell me how the themes are formatted and structured, what images went where (along with image restrictions, such as their dimensions).
I don't even own an X1, so it's hard to write software for it when I can't really operate on one, but a theming program such as this could run on a generic Windows OS, and create themes to be transferred to the X1, which is very doable if I know what it is I need to make.
aaah.. my bad understanding
as for the TF3D.. there is no real theme you can load it's a compilation of files one can edit.
There are 478 images that can be edited and positioned to get the whole theme look in place. To explain here which goes where and how isn't possible.
What you can do is download itje's full hd cab and extract it.
Then with the mode9editor from 6Fg8 view the files and get to understand the structure.

I'd love to help out with the theme creator for TF3D with the SPB i have no experience (didn't like it much).
If you'd want to do it proper I think you'll need to make some kind of emulator for the TF3D interface so you have instant feedback when changing things.

I think it would be possible, albeit time-consuming. Is there a different resource which does explain which goes where and how?

Unfortunately, this alone doesn't help me understand the structure (the mode9 editor seems crash prone and seemingly doesn't understand most of the files in the CAB, and with several BMPs it complains about the headers). I really just need a detailed source of information that says what files get changed, and what they represent (remember also that, since I don't have any phone that can run TF3D personally, I can't go around experimenting with changing files to see what affects what. I need to have a clear documentation of the file structure).
Ofcourse it's possible.. but not for me
Unfortunately I don't have that time
if you check the mode9 files you'll see most of the placement of the qtc files.
The mode9 is actually only for the _manila files.. and yes.. double clicking needs to be prevented
But without a way to test it .. I give you little hope..
Have been searching for weeks for all info one 1 sheet to find my way around.. it's not here to my knowledge.
trail and error is the only way..
but maybe i'm a pessimist
good luck!
Ok...
Here we go...
Well to change TF3D themes you must edit files called Manila Files. Each file has an image inside it. in some cases (mode9) they stand for actual functions. Once these files are opened, using manila editor, you find the image files. (they are in QTC format). You must then replace "your" image files with the QTC files. This is done with the QTC converter built into manila editor.
Here is where you can download the manila files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143701&postcount=28
and here is where you can download manila editor:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414861
hope it helps
that 0.2 manila editor is more solid but gives lesser image quality then the mode9editor that is in development now.
but yeah... it doesn't crash
If it helps,
here's a thread that contains a psd file which mapped out the entire manila interface and is easily batchable by the mode9editor.

After a strange sync session all my file in phone memory disappeared, including all my notes.
My system is fine, and the nothing was important on the note. However I do miss the included rainbow colored bubbles for my wallpaper. Call me old fashioned but I just like the ones included with the phone.
Anybody got back uped ones can e-mail me?
Please PM me and I'll send you my e-mail!
Thanks!
Which one of these ??
PS: I converted from png to jpg to reduce size
They both look good... I didnt even know they were on the x1... will have to look those up...

I'm using your touchflo3D theme right now (thanks btw) and love'd it if you could consider these 2 as the background for all taps!
does anyone know where the original wallpaper is located?
original (or better say your "current") wallpapers are /windows/st_water****
2 files: landscape and portrait
Anyone having the sun/moon issue?
BlaY0 has solved the issue, it is in his latest B0.6 ROM!
If you're running another ROM, you can extract common_m_weather01.png and common_m_weather33.png from com.htc.resources.apk in that ROM and copy it to your ROM, that should do the trick!
Thanks BlaY0!
Very annoying...
I've noticed that and it's bloody annoying. It's only happened since the FOTA upgrade to 2.2 - my guess is HTC have dropped a bollock here somewhere? Not heard of a fix. May be if enough people moan to HTC, we might see a fix in a future update?!
I think they assume we all live on Tatooine
That would explain a lot
But I'm not sure if it has two moons as well...
+1 here as well
Aah so my eyes are still fine, and there is a bug here indeed
Too bad HTC probably won't bother for another Legend update, so we'll have to learn to live with 2 moons (and 2 suns!)
Anyone knows where the animation comes from? With what I've seen around sense I don't believe it is rendered...It has to be a set of pngs or something.... I just can't find it
com.htc.resources.apk
Well I found some .qtc files in raw folder, but they are identic to those in Eclair, but this error wasn't there, so it's something else I guess...
I'm gonna try and decompile both versions and compare them, but since I haven't found a way to build yet, I'm gonna need some help
There are 3 different suns in res/drawable-mdpi.
Sent from my HTC Legend
Those are exactly the same...The only difference I have found in version from Froyo and from Eclair is that there are some extra sun/glare png's in drawable:
lens_flare.png
lens_flare_white.png
lens_flare2.png
all three png's are in both versions there with gl_ prefix.
But that wouldn't explain why the sun is smaller, not if it was defined elsewhere...
OK, so I guess there is a reference to a wrong sun file in some xml...
As I've found no xml managing the anim, I think the animation is managed bu those qtc files. I'm gonna have a look at the xml's defining the ID's as there might be something wrong there...is it possible the anim runs by ID's rather than filenames?
Sent from my HTC Legend
OK, as I am not sure how all that works, I thought some XML file waas pointing on a wrong ID 0x0202048c instead of 0x020203f7... To make sure I replaced the "wrong" png's by good png's - smaller by those larger, but it still does not work... plus it miss-aligned images in the forecast part of the Weather Widget...
It must be a width/length definition issue then...but I can't find it anywhere...
Just to clear.. when I used Eclair there was the same "bug". Probably why you don't see any difference from 2.1 files to the once in 2.2 .. my guess would be to take screenshot of phone and copy size of sun and replace the smaller sun in the "animations" ??
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Well, that's exactly what I tried to do...nothing...
When I used Eclair (Stock, rooted) there was no such bug...I'm comparing my files now with that version. But there's really nothing to compare as I haven't been able to decompile the widget apk succesfully because I need to use two framework files with apktool and I don't know how to do that...
There is faq on apktool official site, where is explain how to install frameworks, may be it will help you...
I saw that, but I found no usefull information as to how to solve my problem... I'll keep trying though, It bugs me that I can't solve it! Any help would be greatly appreciated guys! really I don't need to be the one to solve it, I just want it fixed
I have an idea. Decompile com.htc.resources.apk then mark every sun png you find with numbers in top right corner. Compile back and push to your phone's system and test to see which is which...

Nice one! I did that, it looks like both suns are the common_m_weather_01.png in drawable-mdpi folder, so are those moons - common_m_weather_33.png
they must be resized in some XML file then, but the only one I can find it in is public.xml, also if searching by ID 0x020203da
It must be in those damn .qtc files...
