Searching for the Wifi network discovery, looked in the windows folder does not give the right links.
I'll put out a search for .ink.
Tnx

The easiest way is this, and do note themes do not work on any theme with a disattached Manila (for example, TLR ROMs seem to have problems with theming):
Preparations:
- Make a folder on your computers desktop called "Theme", and in it a folder called "My Theme" or the name of your personal theme.
- Connect your Diamond to your computer and copy ALL manila files (files ending in _manila) in the Windows subdirectory of your Diamond to the "Theme" folder on your desktop.
- Download Manila Editor and extract the files to a place where you can easily find it.
- In Manila Editor, press "Select Path" and select the "Theme" directory on your desktop. The program will "parse" the files and you'll see a loading bar in the bottom left.
Modifying:
- The files are now loaded. Browse through the files, and notice they're ordered by category. Also note the "Friendly name" is somewhat of a description as to what each image is. Finally, do note some files do NOT have a description and can be found in the "Unknown" category.
- Select the files you want to modify, and use Export -> Selected -> BMP/JPG/PNG (whichever you prefer). Choose a location to extract the files to.
- Use The Gimp, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or your image editing program of choice to edit the files as desired. Use the old file as indicator for placement and size. Save the files under the same name for practicality, or give them a name that lets you easily figure out what each image is.
- When done, go back to Manila Editor and select the items you modified one by one. Each time, click the item, then click "Replace". Select your new image, and click OK. Repeat this as many times as necessary.
- If all files are correctly changed, click Zip -> Zip All. I've found that Zip All gives the least problems on most ROMs. This will create a .zip file, which you can name and save anywhere you wish.
Installing: (Sushilange has confirmed that later versions of Manila Editor will have a "Create Theme" function).
- Rename the .zip file to .theme and copy it to a subdirectory on your Diamond.
- Download, Install and Run Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 or higher. Go to the appearance tab and select the "Path..." button. Select the DIRECTORY in which your .theme file is and click OK. Then, from the dropdown list, select the name of your theme (the name of the zip-file).
- Select "Apply'. Take into account you need AT LEAST 20MB of free space on your device, as indicated by the program.
- Select start, wait until it finishes (don't worry if it says something about deleting files), click Finish and let the program restart your Diamond.
Thank you very much...
Perfect explination...'
Thank you . Glad it helps.
Instead of renaming the exported manila files from .zip to .theme, you can also use QuickCab to make a cab file of the exported manila files. Then you don't have to use the Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 program.
Advantage is that you can run the cab file and you can easily uninstall your theme. Uninstalling your own theme means that the original manila files wil be restored again. Furthermore it's much more easier and faster to install a theme.

Wouldn't uninstalling the theme through Diamond TF3D Config also restore the original theme? That's what happens here, in any case.
but how do you copy manilla files from Diamond to PC ?
it doesnt show Windows directory in Vista on Windows Mobile Device Center ?

You meant "Zip" not "Export"... Export is only the converting-function qtc->png

No, no! Don't do this! Wait until I added a "Create Theme"-function in Manila Editor. A *.theme-File is not just a Zip-File. You can't use a custom zip as a theme-file.

I'm just telling what works, but I can't wait until you get that functionality in - sounds good.
And yup, I meant Zip All, will edit now.

I know that it is possible, that it works But the problem is, if it is not working in some reasons, the noobs are crying and i can't give support ;-)
When I add the feature officially, I can give support
I'd daresay screw them. It's not supported by your application yet, so you have no obligation to make it work for them until making *.theme files is actually supported by the program.
Great program, by the way.
I don't know whether I am asking too much. I want to know if it's possible to turn the big digital clock on the 3D theme to transparent (instead of white opaque color). I wanted to change the background to a photo and the clock occupies half of the screen and always blocks the person's face in the photo.

Hi, all,
I have made a tool working (in theory) for all diamond rom, all language.
For French guy, look at there : http://celogeek.free.fr/2008/09/celogeek-icones-reorganiseur/
They is a full and clean explanation totally in french, with screenshot ...
Under the pack they is my icon set. You can use easyly set any icon you want, any name for directory and link, and reorganize automatically all tools as you want after or during any rom installation.
So, you probably just have to set the ini file one time, they will work forever between any rom.
You can now, always keep your icon organisation under Programs between rom.
If you install new software, just add it to the ini file where you want to move it, re-run Celogeek Icon Reorganizer, and that's it !
Ok I join this file, with English directory version (can change it easyly),
I have add lot's of link, in french and english, so they can directly work nice if you have this kind of ROM language. For over, you have to add your link under.
Just run it first, look in Programs (with StartUp > Programs), any link that is not move in directory you like will appear here. Add it to the ini file at the right place, and re-run cir. That's it !
Here explanation of ini file :
-- CUT OF INI --
[dirs]
app=Application?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-1
conn=Connections?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-2
game=Games?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-3
gps=GPS?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-4
multi=Multimedia?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-5
office=Office Mobile?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-6
system=System Tools?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-7
internet=Internet?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-8
[internet]
app1=Messenger?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-103
app2=Opera Browser?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-101
app3=RSS Hub?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-102
app4=Windows Live?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-103
--END OF CUT --
First : [dirs] section
in this section, you create any key you want
ex:
app=Application
internet=Internet?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-8
They will create directory name "Application", the "app" is use below as an alias for application
They will create "Internet" directory and set icon for this directory to "celogeek_icons_set.dll,-8"
after you can create [internet] section, with all application need to be move in it. You can't have twice same application in more than one directory.
Ex:
[internet]
app1=Messenger
app2=Opera Browser?celogeek_icons_set.dll,-101
they will move Messenger link under Internet directory. Key is not important, but need to be unique per section
they will move Opera to Internet directory and set a custom icon to "celogeek_icons_set.dll,-101"
So my init file contain lot's of link I have add from "TOR french" ROM and "Dutty 1.9" link, I have add iGO8 icon and TomTom icon too a personal tools for me (same for spb soft).
If link doesn't exist, it will be ignore.
So here the installation process :
Unpack cir.zip under your internal storage.
Go under it,
move to themes directory, install theme you want (it's a cab that contain celogeek_icon_set.dll), for the moment they is one COOL theme named MAC.
After that, move back to cir directory
Run cir.exe
Just wait, a message will appear when job finished.
Look in Programs the result after that.
Any link that isn't present in INI file will stay in Programs directory. All this link will automatically be added to INI file under section [unknown] with their custom icon, if found in lnk file.
So after you just have to move it to the place you want. Don't forget to set a key value to a unique one in section you move. ex: app1=test, move it to Internet, change app1 to appX (X is last number found +1).
Ex:
before:
---
[internet]
app1=abcde
---
[unknown]
app1=Test
after:
---
[internet]
app1=abcde
app2=Test
---
Copie to you pc the ini file and change it as you want, and push it back to the cir directory after.
A cir link with my icon (a nice girl in purple), will be add automatically in Programs link, just click on it after any change of ini file.
Hope you will like it !
Any question or ask for icons set are welcome and will be done with pleasure by me !
So, just ask
Good customization guy !
See celogeek_icons_set_XXX.jpg for ressource number

I love it, works very very well
Hi

In fact I want something easy to change. You use celogeek_icons_set.dll, and just change the theme as the one you want but keep same icons meaning number
-1 = application
-2 = ...
After we can move from one to other without need of changing reg.ini
I will make a theme with that theme
If you see somethink funny and better, no prob, I can do it

Please help
Update
I have now created a CAB for the script.
It will install a link to the program in Programs under the Start Menu.
IMPORTANT: You need to have MortScript installed. There is a CAB in \Program Files\HideFolder. If you already have MortScript you can delete this CAB.
The new cab is at the end of this post.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiding folders from HTC Album has been discussed elsewhere, maybe for different reasons than mine !
When I select 'Storage Card' a list of folders appear that have no interest to me and do not contain any images that are mine.
I have written a script that allows you to Show or Hide folders from HTC Album. I included the ability to 'Show' folders in the event that you may want to temporarily hide a folder but re-enable it at some point.
You need to have Mortscript installed on your device !
Unzip the file and copy to your device.
When you run the script you will be given a choice whether you want to:
1) Show a Folder
2) Hide a Folder
3) Exit the Script
When you select Show or Hide you will then be asked to select the folder.
If you select Show: A previously hidden folder will be enabled (If the folder is not hidden you will get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
If you select Hide: The selected folder will now be hidden from HTC Album (If the folder is already hidden you wil get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
I've run the script in as many combinations as I can think of and all seems to work, please let me know if there is something I hae missed.
CAB Now available see above.
Thanks for such a necessary utility, I was actually looking for this for some days now...I needed this... you know to hide some things when your is taken over by some enthusiast who wants to check out everything in it and occasionally press wrong links....
This app. does its work what it supposed to do but I have Resco photo manager installed the hidden folder is visible in this photo manager...is there a way it could be hidden to resco as well.

is this also possible for HTC Music Player ß
I don´t want to see my ringtones and others on the SD card.

Is it possible to add folders to the quick links . I would like to set up some groups of related apps.
thanks for any advice
bump. I want this too.
maybe u can try go to
/window/star menu/Program (*Copy the 'Program' , then go back to /stroage card, paste the shortcard)
then inside 'Program' u can create a folder and then put the file u wan together. u also can copy ur app on ur stroage card to this folder. (if copy files or app then paste inside 'Program' MUST BE 'PASTE SHORT CUT'
I do this for my office file, cos i have a lot of price list and item need using exel and word, so i can create quick link on my home tap ^^
hope this will help u.

Erm not 100% sure what you are suggesting?
I tried making a shortcut to the games folder in the program folder. I could then add this onto the quick links but sadly when I click on that it just gives an error. I guess its trying to execute a program as opposed to just firing up the shotcut.
This would be handy as I want nice and quick access to games but can't really have them all linked on the quick links lol.
I did read how to exactly do this in the blackstone forum but cant for the life of me rememember how to do it.
I have done some searching around the forum and can't seem to find anything helpful. This should surely be fairly easy. Quick links to folders would be very handy.
