[THE] TF3D Tab Icon Theme

Afraid i have had to discontinue all work on this due to big time time restraints. If the download links don't work then please feel free to message me and i will email them to you however I won't be logging in here much so you may get a faster response by sending me an email - [email protected]
All the best!!
*****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/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
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

@ 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.
regards
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

[MOD] (25-09-2008) No more Start! Guided Procedure...

Hi everybody,
at the end a contribute of mine... Hope you will find interesting.
I finally find out what is needed to change both the Title and the Icon in the main WM6 taskbar. You can see attached my mod with no text and Htc green arrow icon. I'm building up a guided procedue to act if I find you really interested and if moderator finds it legal . For the moment I can only suggest you that you have to modify shellres.192.dll in order to change the Icon (icon numbers 292/293) and shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in order to change the Start text (xxxx is localization code i.e. 0410 for Italy!).
Let me know what do you think about it and then I'll go on with the suggestions!
Cheers!
Guided Procedure:
---------------------------
What you need:
1 ROM Extractor for WM
2 Res Hacker
3 Siggner (attached)
4 Resco Explorer/Total Commander
5 You can change the Start Title editing the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui at the string table resource number 321
6 You can change the Icon editing the shellres.192.dll file at the Icon Resource number 292/293 (Icon must be 21x21)
First of all you have to extract those two files from \Windows folder of your device. Those file are blocked because ROM so you need the freeware ROMExtractor to copy them from \Windows to the internal storage folder. Then you can copy them on your PC hard-drive to manipulate. !!Keep them safe because they are your original ones!!
To edit them you absolutely need the freeware Res Hacker. Open the files with it and edit the resource as you want. Save. Normally ResHacker make an original copy of the file. If not, be sure to keep safe your originals!
When you save your changes, the dlls lose their integrity and you absolutelly must sign them again to let your device accepts as originals.
Use attached Mssigner to act like that.
If txt log says succeded (not the application, you have to check the txt file to verify if it's succeded!) now you are ready to copy those files back to yor \windows on the device. Use Resco Explorer o Total Commander to do that.
Overwrite when you're asked.
Soft Reset...
Is everything all right!!?
When you'll become confortable with the proc you will probably be able to edit a lot more of Windows resource and customize your system!
Let me know your tries, guys!

that is very nice. I haad never liked those letters, however i would like to keep the windows logo.

Nice! Because I use WkTASKchange, the application icons in the taskbar let me know what is running, but they also cover the focused application title. That looks bad. So, I'd like to remove the application title in the taskbar. Without changing the Start icon, if possible. Although it sure is nice to change that as well

how do i change the "start" text? where do i get images (ie ".ico") to replace the original windows icon( preferably a black logo of windows)?
Thanks.

Not connected to the post.. but do you use wktask successfully on your diamond ? I cannot manage to hide a task called demarrage... even with no process i have a process windows near to the start menu...
It can be cool to hide the start menu if it helps to put more things in the task bar

Sorry for the off topic.. Yes, WkTASK Manager works fine. I've excluded manila.exe, repllog.exe and HTCActionScreen.exe, through the Preferences - Excluded tab, for instance. Not familiar with your demarrage process though..

Wonderful. Why don't you tell us exactly how to do it? Would really appreciate it.

Thats a nice idea
Or something like this:

What size does the icon need to have? and does it have to be a .ico or can it be any image?

I hope the most answers are on the first post!
Wait for your replies!

BRICKED!
Well, that didn't go too well!
The first attempt resulted in a bricked phone, I had to hard reset as it wouldn't boot. The second attempt I was a bit more careful but now all my icons appear messed up (in File Explorer folders and files are books and message icons, no start icon at all etc.).
I'm a bit confused by the instructions, firstly, in shellres.192.dll, if I export icon 292 with Res Hacker it is 41x36. If I have a look at Icon Group 4609 it is listed as a 41x41 icon. I know you mentioned it should be 21x21 but this doesn't seem right, I would have expected 32x32!
Anyway, I tried from scratch using a 21x21 icon and it still messes up all my icons. I think I will leave it for now until someone makes an App or Cab file.
I am using SwiftBL v7 ROM by the way

Mmm... Strange...
Since I found out the trick it's my 10/12nd attemp to change icons and texts and everytime it worked fine!!
Anyway, her you are some information (Look the attachment):
- I'm on official rom 1.93.408 ITA (the htc official latest one)
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
I will take some time to understand what's the difference on your ROM...
Let's keep in touch...

isnt there an easy way to change them letters?

I noticed the same issue's as wired69 did.
But in your instructions you say that the icon size has to be 21x21 but later you post and i quote:
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If so could you please update your instructions.
Do you only have to change icon number 292 or both 292/293? That was a bit confusing to.
Hoping you will help.
P.S. Which certificate do you use for the signing part because the .mui signes just fine but the .dll does not.

You can read HERE how to change your icon.

Indeed my friend!

Bricked, but solved now !
Hello,
when I had two times bricked my diamond after signing and installing new mui file, I found, where the problem was.
I removed "Start" text from menu for better view of WkTask, then I signed file with mssigner. When I copied new mui to windows folder, my diamond became a brick :O The main problem was in missing SDKCert.cab. Because when you are signing with SDK certs edited mui, you have to install SDKCerts.
Now it looks for my needs, screenshot included.
Bye

Thank you for your help !

Hi milillicuti!
You can use the cab i've enclosed, It should work! dont forget to soft reset
(Credit goes to mUn_Rus)
Good luck mate
Jeroen

Thanks for your anwser !
I've already tried this cab, but it put a mess on my home, with a&t information and other languages ...
Did i do something wrong ?

you probably didnt do anything wrong, it messes up a lot of peoples phones i think.
There are themes out there that have the background in all the tabs, i have installed a few of them and never had any of the problems i had with the cab file.

What wallpaper are you trying to use?

Thank you for your answers.
I would like to use my own and not the theme's one.
I use this one :

Can you try this.
I had a problem with mun_rus's because it left white squares all over. I made one that worked and ive just swapped out my image for yours.

thx kao. How did you do this file ???
That works great on each tab, except home where i don't have anything. Just the wallpaper an top and bottom curtain. But no clock, no calendar, no more missed calls .....
I'm going crazy !

And the soft keys are going crazy too ! Before i had my contacts and second today, now i have contacts and menu ...

and the soft keys don't work ...
sniff

Weird - are you running standard manila?

Yes. A theme i downloaded here. Speed black i guess.
In fact each time i go back on the home tab, it keeps the spft key of the previous tab. And still no clock or calls/ calendar.
How did you do this file ?

Its mun_rus's mode9 file, but with my image embedded into the manila file. I used manila editor to change that.
Im running dutty's V4 rom with no changes to manila and it works perfectly.
I used quickcab to make it into a cab file

hey is there anyway to uninstall the file? it messed up my phone and i just want to uninstall it now =/

Hey man,the file millicuti is ok for me....could you change the image inside the file whit this one?thanks a lot if you can make a cab for me...

I tried Milillicuti's_Background.cab which was nice then tried to edit the cab file with my own wallpaper, maybe i dont know what Im doing but it stays as the same wallpaper and the big question is HOW do i remove file to go back to the default setting.
(NM i found the 2 files i needed to remove)

i have a bette rquestion ? how to remove bckgrounds from the tabs? i have installed a rom, wwe george for my diamond but i dont like to have the same background for all tabs. I want the standard bckground for all tabs, just to change for the first, home screen.

man i installed that by mistake and got the same problem

icon problems

im trying to change my icons on the manila but only some of them change does anyone know how to fix this proble thanks

Which icons have you changed and which ones are not changing?

the weather and the calender changed but the others did not music, internet search, settings, people,home

What program are you using to change the icons?
I have been using cfc-gui to change my icons and they are grouped together depending on what they are (i.e. - tray, hero, people screen, weather screen, etc.).
Are you trying to change your "tray" and "hero" icons or icons within each tab?

no programs just cabs from different people on this site

You're not making the rookie mistake that I made and installing a cab (to change the icons) on top of one that is already installed?

yup, so what do I do? Help me learn

Just uninstall all of them and soft reset. You should be okay.

how do i do that? where do i go

Click the Start button in the upper left hand corner.
Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs
Select a program and click "Remove" in the bottom right hand of the screen.

sorry for the missunderstanding i knwhow to remove programs i want to change the icons but i dont know why only some changed and would like all of them changed

It depends on the cabs. Some people change all of them and some only change some. For instance, my cab that I have installed doesn't change the photo, music, or AT&T tabs because I didn't include them in the changes.

can anyone post these? im trying to change the calendar and history icon under my clock.

Reason he intalled diferent themes on top of others so soon he uninstalles one wen he gos for the next on there will be an error cause windows will not find a second backup of the original.
Sorry to tell you but you need to hard reset your device.

for anyone trying to modify there manila icons.
Use CFC Gui.
Intructions easy way.
Connect you phone on Sync to you device start CFC GUI should be a options to extract all manila files from you phone.
After that you will see all kind of images change the one you want then send it to you phone from CFC GUI more instruction on CFC Gui threat.
Hope i help you all

So it won't just uninstall what it can "find" and not worry about what it doesn't?
Also, when unintalling a program/theme, how does it know what to revert back to? Are the original files not overwritten/deleted?

Background for all and transparent slider tab for T-Mobile 6.5 rom

all i want is to have the same background on all tabs and to have a transparent slider.
I've been looking for this like a crazy person and tried at least 5 different cabs and none work.
Any one can help me out

Hello
I think i can help you.I was searching for background on all tabs by yesterday
Try hd wall.You will get a result better than you want.
1-Just drag and drop your desired wallpaper for portrait mode
2-Then press landscape on the ta-op then drag and drop a wallpaper fits your landscape mode.
3-Click config and choose your appropriate Manila version then come back
4-Click create cab then choose both "include portrait wallpaper" and "include landscape wallpaper" then press convert button.That conversion porcess will take approximately 2 minutes.
5-Don't forget to consider where you want your cab file to be created checking the option on the top right.
6-And give a name in application title
7-You are ready to go.Press create cab and your cab will be created to the folder you chose so transfer it to your ppc and install then restart.This solved my problem.
And here is the cab to give your slider glass look

1) Is the cab I attached below one of the ones you've already tried?
2) If you've followed the steps above to install one of the HDWalls wallpapers, and it appears everywhere but your home tab, then you need to just follow the instructions HERE (it's a common thing for people to have to apply those steps when using HDWalls wallpapers)

whenever i've tried to install that BG for all pages wvga.cab file, it messes up my clock display. the clock get's huge & i can even read it. am i doing something wrong? i'm on Verizon & running Windows Mobile 6.5.
