I'm Really Having A Hard Time Trying To Install A Theme On My Diamond,would Somebody Plz Help Me Out?
1,use TF3D config
2,use winrar unpack *.theme, then copy to windows
thnx man i'll give it a shot,i'm used to wm5 so touch flow is totally new 4 me,there's a little issue though.
i couldn't apply a background picture
thnx man,it worked,unlike wm5 it took way too long
I still don't know why theme creators don't make a cab file of their themes. The only thing a theme is made of are manila files. With a cab file you also don't need the TFL3D config program. Simply click the .cab file on your device and you're done.
@ Theme makers: there is a application named Qickcab.exe. Cabs are so easy to use and you get rid of all the repeating questions on how to install .theme files.....

I think it's already a great favor that the theme creators make all the gorgeous themes and generous enough to share them with us (they could keep the glory to themselves, look at those gold and diamond themes. We could have been drooling at them instead of showing them off on our diamonds). Do you think we are asking a bit too much to ask the theme creator to make the new theme and then ask them, "why don't you make the .theme file as I don't bother to convert the .png to manila files? Why don't you make the .cab file even saving my time to install diamond config?" I think as fellow xda-developers who know what to do, we can help out by making them instead of asking the creators to do it themselves. Or create yet another sticky faq to explain it. imho. Anyway, I bet even when .cab is created, somebody would still post a question asking what to do with the .cab he downloaded.
I fully agree but its a hard work too to copy all files to windows folder...a theme file or cab isnt so much price to do for them. I think..maybe anyone of them dont know how to do it so why dont advice them...
Ok, sorry guys, in my previous posting it wasn't my intention to piss the theme creators off. I respect their hard work. But I find it a bit strange the way .themes have to be installed. First you have to install TFL3D config utility and then you have to make some additional steps to install a theme. Why not keep it simple and create a cab file of the theme ?
I think the knowledge of the theme creators is good enough to also find out how to create a cab file out of it.
Also creating a cab is a 3 click process. Takes only 30 secs extra
Will make a short guide how to make a cab in a moment.
The reason i make theme files instead of cabs is the file size..
I agree cab files is much easier, but they just get too big with a cab!
I use cab files for minor changes, like a clock or some icons...
exampel..
Vista Ultimate Theme.theme - 1560kB
Vista Ultimate Theme.cab - 9070kB

Ok that's a big difference. But How many files are in your themes ? Do you put all the manila files in it, or just the changed ones ?
In the end both will be 9070kB But I got your point.
theme file is much better than cab which cant be always uninstalable (experience with some clocks fot TF3D) and it isnt for me such a sacrifice to such a great themes to install this user friendly program

I have about 450 files... And I made it as small as possible..
It's not just the image files...
And it depends on who is installing it...
If you have the same TF3D as I have it would be enough to just install the changed files...
but If you have another TF3D you have to replace some other files too...

Oh, relly... good to know..
I always test my cab files first, so I know that I can uninstall it

I think copying manila files is easier than installing as .theme (I haven't tried .cab so I can't say anything on that). I usually do it via bluetooth. All I need to do is to beam the relevant files (via bluetooth) and then move them to /windows (using Total Commander because you can select a batch of files to move instead of one-by-one). It doesn't take much time as the relevant files are not a lot (e.g. for the gold diamond theme, just fewer than 20 files). Simple drag and drop will do.
so first of all there is 200+ files so you have some lite version maybe
the second thing...Im using resco exp which is the best for me and every replace file in ROM i have to confirm very stupid, common File explorer is the same and I wont install another explorer just for installing themes...
Guys,guys,all That Is Good But I Still Didn't Get The Answer,why Can't I Put The Background Picture That Comes With The Theme In Th Background ? It Just Gives Me A Plain Background

200+ files for a theme? Well, I have tried the darkred/darkblue, gold, gold with diamond themes and they only have <20 files involved (all found in the thread Themes for TouchFlo3D). Where did you get the 200+ file theme? And don't use Resco exp. Use Total Commander instead. I have both on my diamond and Total Commander has an option "yes to all" (similar to Windows replace command) and all I need to do is to select the group of files, find the directory to move to and then "move" then "yes to all" and done. Just a few clicks on the diamond will do.
Or alternatively, you can wire connect your diamond to the PC and move everything from your pc (so that you don't need to touch any primitive file explorer on your diamond).
guys,r u gonna keep arguing & not answer my question,i installed a theme & came out very good but without the background,so how can i apply the background to it?

Try this one
http://theloanranger.romraid.com/tlr-manila-38.cab
or you can install the program i attached.
then make folder named THEMES on internal memory
then download some themes you like a place them in the THEMES map
now run the tf3d config program and go to second tab APPEARANCE
click above in rightcorner the PATH button and select the place were your themes are. then go to pulldownmenu right under the PATHbutton and select the theme you want to load. now press APPLY button.then press START.

Thanks A Lot Frind
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
I ran the App again and modified the ini to get all apps in the folders i want and now all my icons for folders [8 of them] is not showing the pictures any more.

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
