*****Updated 28/09 21:00 VERSION 5. Includes Trasparent scroll highlighter*****
First things first - I would like to give a big thankyou to MRE-net for the original idea for my theme, also for his help with setting up a CAB file. Without his input i would not have been able to have achieved this. Also for this task i have used the Manila ed tool to great effect so thanks to the developers of that as well.
The original idea for this came from this thread by MRE-net
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420423
Warning: The usual caveat applies to this, use it at your own risk. However the CAB file works perfectly on my 1.37 ROM and has also been used successfully on a 1.93 ROM so you should have no problems at all.
Here is a link to download from,

if for any reason any file is no longer available on the links above, just drop me a PM and i will email the CAB to you.
Version History
Version 5 - 29/Sep/08 - As version 4 but with a transparent scroll highlighter (looks good). If you have the large icons showing on each screen then V5 is not for you as the large mid screen icons will dissapear. if you do then use V4 and download Pama's transparent slider(which itself may not work if you use the CAll history /callendar tabs) See post #42 for full details
Version 4 - 28/Sep/08 - Lots of new Icons here See post #36 for full details
Version 3 - 19/Sep/08 - At the request of user 'skizZO' Now includes Icon for Calendar tab, with relevant Manila files edited - *Important* You must already have the Calendar Tab enabled for this to work. If like me you do not have a Calendar tab available then you can get a CAB file to install one by searching this site. Also at the request of the user 'timoline' i have Inverted some of the icons so that they all face the same way(Don't know why i didn't think of that! Thanks!)
Version 2 - 18/Sep/08 - Now includes enhanced 'Messages' Icon and new 'Email' Icon
Version 1 - 16/Sep/08
Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.
***Updated to now include lots of new icons for the first level menus, see my post on page 4 for full details
The Call history - Messages - Email - Internet - Photos, and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts - Calandar and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. For the Settings and Programs tabs i used icons supplied by MRE-net(thanks again)
In my opinion they look great on the Diamond.
I don't use the Email tab which is why you won't see it in the screenshots, but there is an Email icon included in the CAB. I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon, but i couldn't find another one that i feel fits better, i'll change this if i find a better one.
I particularly like my Weather Icon, took me ages to find and then Paintshop it to my requirements. It's amazing how hard it is to find good 3D weather icons!!
I have these saved in CAB file, which installs perfectly, so once again if anyone would like to try my icons you can download the CAB from here -

http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME
If the file is no longer available on the above link then please drop me a PM and i will Email the CAB to you.
To install simply- Disable TF3D
Install CAB (Automatic soft reset will occur)
Enable TF3D
And you're done!!
*** If you are updating versions don't forget to uninstall any previous versions of the CAB first!!! as the new CAB won't overwrite the old one***
Once again i give a BIG THANKYOU to MRE-net for his icons and also the original CAB file, without which i would not have been able to put this together.
All the best
Steve
Tnks, but the dwload not work
No prob with download Time before downloadin counted twice
Will try n post results...thx man

@ Stevedpl7 Tab Theme for TF3D

can you make a htc diamond or anything to do with htc music icon , just a suggestion
@ lucag
Keep trying, it appears that the free download countdown timer is counting down twice!!!
If you still have no joy, PM me and i'll Email it to you
@ Dynomite232
I'm in the process of trying to create an icon showing a Diamond with headphones in a musical type context, struggling a bit getting it to look good though so i'll post once i've succeeded!!!
Regards
Steve
Great job, like I said in my thread. Looks really nice, especially the sms icon. Keep up the good work mate !!!
I see that the screenshot tool is also working well for you ?
I do like the music icon btw....just like the camera icon. Wish I'd found that one earlier
Thanks, I've certainly got the bug for this now!! I'm working on some other stuff like new icons for the Call history list and various other bits bobs so hopefully i can come up with some good stuff.
Thanks for showing me the screenshot program, i'm anmazed how easy it is to use!!!
all the best
Are there also the missed calls and calendar icons?
@SkizZO,
Hi, unfortunately i didn't include a calander icon as i don't have the calander tab(don't think i have the original Manila file), as far as the missed call icon goes are you talking about a seperate 'Missed call' Tab? or do you mean call history? there is a call history icon but no missed call, this is because i don't have a seperate missed call tab. That said i could quite easily amend the call history icon to a 'Red' Missed call icon for you if yo want.
Sorry i was speaking about call history
Is it also possible for you to make a TFL3DTABICONSV2.theme file ?
Thank you
@ SkizZO
Yeah it's the top row third from the left. I will look in to a calander icon when i get chance.
@ timoline
Afraid i don't have the technical knowhow at the moment, i will look into whether i can do it when i get chance.

Steve
Making *.theme files is really simple.
Just zip the changed manila files with Manila editor and rename *.zip to *.theme...et voila
Also another request , can you mirror some images so they all facing the same direction? (like home etc..)
Br,

hi there
any chance you could put a link for the cab file as none of the current links work. great icons...many thanks

I have been changing the links several times over the last hour so it may be worth trying again. You may also see the download countdown time countdown twice, just bear with it.
Alternativly i can email the cab to you

Run the CAB file and soft reset of your device.
Having this skin, you can choose type and quantity of active functions. You can edit the register or use Schaps Advanced Configration Tool v 3.x to do it.
This solution don't replace the existing CommManager. You can use both. Use the Advavanced Config to choose between skins:
On/Off Button - for standard Diamond skin
Large Button - for Kaiser or DiamondStyle skins.
Buttons names will be displayed in your language.
In Dimond Style skin you can use 7 to 10 buttons (from 12).
WARNING! When you use 10 buttons, place the Sound/Vibrate button in last line for better performance.
In Kaiser skin - 10 buttons (from 12).

Many thanks Balu888 and Nemos (4pda.ru) for drawings updated.
Thanks! I never quite liked having to compromise some options and decide which 6 to include in the original Comm Manager.
Now I can have them all!!!!
Many thanks
Thanks. Nice to see all the communication options all at once rather than a limit.
Now all we need is for one of our skinning masters to come up with a more diamond looking interface and this will be really cool.
EDIT: Just noticed there is no option to turn off 3G!
Can this be made a tab in TF3D?
I renewed the graphic files (Look in the preview), but i´m not able, to make a cab out of these files. I don´t have the knowledge in this way. If someone want´s to make this job, i post here the changed graphics. But at 1st it would be good, to get a feedback.
To integrate it in TF3D, you can use the Softkey Changer. With this program you can replace one tab of the homescreen from Programs or else to Comm Manager.
Is it possible to make a 3G button. I use it a lot to save battery.
New idea
Here I have tried to make skin in Diamond CommMamager style .
Having this skin , you can choose type and quantity of active functions from 7 to 10 (12 accessible). You can edit the register or use Schaps Advanced Configration Tool v 3.2 to do it. Now you don't need to change buttons pictures as in Kaiser CommManager.
BUT I haven't standard icons for buttons InternetSharing and VOIP to finish this work.
Send me, pls... who has...
I´ve got it to run...with some tricks. But i don´t like, that this module don´t recognize, that there are masked .png-files. So all, what should be invisible, is now white. But the functions are okay. It integrates itself into the Comm Manager in the Connection-Tab. But not in the new seperate Comm Manager tab, that´s a problem.
Also there are little graphic errors, which are not in the original graphics.

Really like the concept here. Might need some work on cleaning up the images and maybe adding a little depth. Great work though.
Ive tryed it now. I cant delete it at all. When i try to delete it, and when i try to open the comm manager again, ill get a black screen, with white text from kaisers comm manager

Check the registry keys, for Diamond standard must be:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
SupportedFunctions=6
DisableButtonText=3
For Kaiser:
SupportedFunctions=10
DisableButtonText=2
And soft-reset, of course...
Or use Advanced Config \CommManager: choose your 6 function and On/Off Buttons.
i tried more commanager and now i have nothing !!!
somebody can put here the original htc diamond commanager (vga) ?
thank
sorry : i find the solution with advanceconfig

You mean found the solution to delete it and install the original Comm Manager, or found the solution to make it work ? If the answer is the second one, please share it with us !!!!!
This is very nice thank you.
will this replace the existing comms manager? I'd like to have both on my device and remove the new one without problems if I decide.

No, this solution don't replace the existing CommManager. You can use both. Use the Advavanced Config to choose between skins:
On/Off Button - for standard Diamond skin
Large Button - for Kaiser and DiamondStyle skins
in future I want make default skin available in Diamond too.
Diamond Style Comm Manager 10 Button
Drawings are updated - many thanks Nemos (4pda.ru), missing icons are added. But without album orientation.
You can use 7 to 10 buttons (from 12).
WARNING! When you use 10 buttons, place the Sound/Vibrate button in last line for better performance.
Looks great... just two question :
- only for russian ?
- is it possible to uninstall it and go back to default settings ?
But it would be nice to have more than 6 items on the diamond !
Ciao

I'm using Duttys ROM so obviously HD Tweak and Advanced Config don't work 100%
One of the main issues I have is that I want the Data Connection to close if inactive for 10 seconds. I used to be able to do this but the change in manila seems to be presenting new problems
Is there a change that I can make in the registry to alter how long the connection remains open?
Thanks
P.S. Are there any tweak programs for the new manila yet?
if you click the "menu" in advanced config app, click "more settings" click "connections" that is what youre looking for.

The only thing not working in Advanced Config is the "TouchFLO 3D" part, everything else works fine.

What about Modaco NoData ? Isn' t working ? Any inputs ?

It does work (by not letting applications auto start GPRS).
But even you have disabled GPRS connection, when you open it manual through Comm Manager, it starts normally
I don't want to disable it - I can do that myself
I figured out the problem wasn't with tweaking but because I had Hotmail set to receive emails as they arrive. Logically, that means the connection has to be open all the time.
I set it to sync every 1 hour and now it's fine; the GPRS connection closes if it's inactive for 10 seconds
Hi,

Thank's, but I was looking for comm manager that has Beam and GSM on/off in it! This one doesn't
just a little question and a headsup:
Q: That Comm Manager cab that is posted, does it also contain the new wi-fi settings, bluetooth connect dialog and phone-settings?
(I have mine cooked in so don't need it, but it's nice knowing what it contains and what it doesn't contain).
The other thing:
The HD Weather Tab link that is posted is a link to the version from the Touch HD. The one you asked for in your screenshots is the (newer) one from the Rhodium Manila. I don't if there is a separate tab for yet.

That comm manager looks like it's stock, I even didn,t open the wifi setting neather bluetooth or phone, I unninstaled it becouse it wasn't what I was looking for.
You saying that you have comm manager, that looks like in the screenshot?
With the beam and gsm on it? Maybe you hav a cab and can share it with me?
You are right about the weather tab, it's not like in the screen shot, but does the job for now
But yes, would be nice to get the hands on the new one, from Rhodium Manila!

The detail goes in the on/off switches. The new Comm Manager, you can click on the line 'Wi-Fi', and separately on the on/off switch. Clicking the switch turns it on/off, clicking on the word / text goes to the setting screen.
I have it yeah, but the only _few_ versions I've seen are ment to be cooked in, I never seen a CAB. Kinda the reason why I asked what that cab was that was posted, because it is (or would've been) the first CAB of the new Comm Mananger and setting-screens.
The squished graphics aren't 'fixable'. That screen is ment for a 480x800 device and is just plain resized to fit your 480x640. On the new RhodiumManila VGA port they didn't just resize, but actually modified the layout so it would fit and make more sense on a 480x640 screen, so yeah. it fits and looks better .
Why don't you take a new ROM with all of this in it and working? Because a lot of the new 'toys' out there require a custom ROM with newer build anyway.

For the next time, launch Advanced Config, goto Menu\More Steengs\Comm Manager. You'll be able to select the CommManager style (Big button or ON/OFF button) and the items displayed from the following list (Flight mode, Phone, Bluetooth, Wireless Lan, MS Direct Push, Data Connection, Beam, Ringer, Activsync, VoIP, Internet sharing and 3G)
By the way p.brazauskas, what's the point of getting the beam switch when there's no infrared on a Diamond ? It's totally pointless, isn't it ?

As I read in this forum, Beam manages bluetooth, and when it's turned off it saves power (bluetooth doesn't work if beam is off).
Also why would developers put beam swith in they software, if it was useless?

hi there - hopefully an easy answer - i have 15 tabs installed and running on my Blackstone . . ive completely forgotten how to change the settings to add or remove which tabs are visible to me - can someone please remind me? ive searched Every menu available on the unit but to no avail.
thx
Go to the settings tab and select the "Customize Tabs". Check or uncheck the tabs you want to appear or not. To change the display order drag their left icon up or down. Regards.
hmm - with 15 tabs, i dont appear to have that option any more.
thanks for your help anyway
Ups, what a discover. I may suggest you put in touch with the cab /rom author.
