Basically I'm trying to change the slider background so that it doesn't darken when changing away from the Home tab. I've found some other people who have replaced the image with another image but not the same one.
I want to slider bg to look the same no matter what tab I'm viewing. Basically I'm after the filename so I can extract and replace the png...
Thanks for your help,
Kev

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,
Hi there, im thinking about the issue that you cant use a background for all tabs in TF3D, so i am trying to find a solution for that.
We need to find out where in TF3D the XML definition of background tiling is, so we could deactivate that, and replace the manila background tile with a normal wallpaper.
What do you think?

That would be great, one of the most annoying things of TF3D is the background only works on the Today screen. I guess another option would be to find the graphic file within the manilla files that contains the default one. I have seen a couple themes where they have changed that default image, I think it was the Orange one.
added to thread subscriptions, maybe we can do this and it will be so much better!
Thanks, look at the Vodafone theme for example, there is a blank white background. Can we customize the original files like this just with a wallpaper?
I found out that there is a 2bd5bb26_manila (Background image only on O2 theme) in the o2 theme.
When we could use this manila file for other themes too, we would have solved the theme problem!
there's one thing i don't really understand here.
in the o2 default blue theme, the gradient background (for all the tabs) is saved as an image of the width of 1 pixel. i tried to substitute it with another, wider image, but it didn't work.
in the htc black theme, on the other hand, there's no direct image for the background, instead, only the tiles are coded somewhere as image files.
how does it work then, i mean how does manila know how the background is encoded, whether it's a 1px-wide image that needs to be stretched or a tile that fits onto the background "floor" or whatever else on other themes?
if we could find the place where it's encoded what (and how) manila uses for the background, then i guess we could play with it a little more
This is what i have found about the background question in TF3D...

I haven't had any more time on it .. but I think we have to wait until we can change the mania/GLES files...
I hope this can be done
I would like to use color icons for today items like call history, calendar, alarm on/off.
Does anybody know if it is possible to replace these black and white icons?
they are not icons.they are part of one of the manila files.
you have to find the correct file,
extract the image to photoshop or similar,
then change the bit you want to change,
save new image,
put new image back in the manila file,
and then overwrite the file in your phone with the new one.
easy really.
Hello,
Can anyone please tell me how to change the program icon size from the launcher tab (not the background squares, but the actual icon)?
I hate some of the stock icons for my programs / scripts, so I replaced them with different icons using the registry, but for some reason it shrinks them down to something like 32x32 or 64x64, the default size everyone has. My plan is to get rid of the background box altogether and go with like a 128x128 icon if possible.
I am not sure if there is a registry setting I am missing or if you have to hex edit a manilla file. I am open to either.
Thanks,
Josh
Not possible...
I may be wrong, because whenever anyone is explaining why something can't be done, they're usually interupted by the person doing it! I think you'll find the image size is hard-coded into Manila. Whatever size you make the image file, it will always be stretched to 'fill' the picture box on the launcher tab
I just tried to modify my softkeybar by changing some colours around, saved the file as a .png with the same dimensions and such like, copied it back to the device and when I restarted the softkey bar was all kind of fragmented and multicolured.
Could anyone tell me what I've done wrong......
I know its something stupid but I'm having one of those days.
Thanks
did you save it as an interlaced .png? if so turn that off and the issue should go away.
hmm i cant find any option relating to that. will the bit depth affect it?
