Looking for some HTC Graphics

Hate to make a new topic, but google is not being nice about this.
I am looking for the Windows mobile 6.1 green wallpaper AND the turqoise like background that is in the default htc theme.
Actually, if anyone has that theme that would be great. I know one of the rom cookers had something like it, but it was not the exact same one that came with my cruise. (Different wallpaper and also the wallpaper for the messaging application had all these annoying lines in it..)
I guess I can just flash back and get it, but I've set up my polaris now and didnt watn to flash back just for taht, so hoping someone was smarter then i and saved the graphics already!
Thanks

I have it. But how do i rip the theme off my phone ? If you are willing to guide me then i don't mind uploading it.

look for the .tsk files in the windows directory.

Make sure you use totalcommander or resco file explorer and copy those files from windows directory. YOu can use the search tools within them as well.
Also, under options in resco, there might be some settings that hide system, hidden, or rom files. you'll want to uncheck those for now so you can see them.
Also in the windows folder there should be a welcomhead.96.png or welcomehead.96.jpg, that is the windows 6.boot up screen.
You shoudl be able to copy these via your polaris into a different folder then with your pc put them on your computer.
Thanks!!!

[APP] Vista & Buuf Program Folders

I have been learning a lot about iconizing everything these last days, and I created some custom folders Vista style. So anyone ho wants to order his or here applications, here are some folders to put them in. They are VGA (tested) and should also be QVGA.
I named the folder 1 to 18, so everybody can decide for themselves which folder to to use for what purpose.
Since I use quickcab to create my cabs, which doesn't allow me put in the folder files, it's been split in two. A Vista Folders.zip which contains the Vista Icons.dll. Install this one in \Windows. The other one is a zip file which contains the Folder folder, with inside (who would have guessed...) the folders. Just copy them to your device (although I don't think copying them to the storage card works) and voila some more folders to up our devices. So, screenshots:
I hope you like them, and no I have not got any other folders (these are all vista offers)
Edit: I managed to create a .cab file that installs these into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. For those that don't have a English/WWE ROM I'll make another one that installs the folders into \Folder folder.
Edit 2: I updated the Vista folders, as Skizzo pointed out I left some files in the .dll files that made it unnecessarily big.
There is one icon set that is very dear to me, which is the Buuf icon set by Manhattan. Of this set I have selected a couple of folder icons most likely to be used in a ppc environment. This guy (or girl) created over 1500 icons in this style which you can find on DeviantArt. These are my default folder icons, so I thought I'd share. Screen shots!:
Download the 12aon Vista Folders.cab here
Download the 12aon Buuf Folders.cab here

Hi,
well done! thanks for sharing! could you tell me how to show up the new icon.
i have installed the DLL file on Windows and also the other one. now?
thanks
ciao

I managed to create a .cab file, which installs the folders to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, I will make another cab later that install the "Folder folder" into the root of the device, cheers 12

brilliant app
nice work

installed cab and ow i have folders in programs but how to make one of that folder for default?
so how to let say make that mypictures allways show as vista(mypictures) folder?
thx

Can you upload the Buuf folder icons here?
I can't download them from Rapidshare. (download limit reached)
Never mind, can download it now.

12aon
thanks you for your work
can you make a step by step how you do that ?
something with notepad or worldpad i think !

@intel, You have see hidden items enabled on your computer (I don't think you can from your device). In each folder you will find a icon.lnk file, just copy this one into the desired folder and you should be fine. An ohter way would be just to copy the folder created by me and put it in the desired place, rename and copy your files (you'll find these in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs)
@Aqrab: I don't really need to someone a little smarter than me explained this with much detail here. Do note that if you want to create these yourself you must be able to create .dll icon files. I hope this helps

is there any chance of making more vista folders icons ?

4 MB ?? it is too big!!... have you included only 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64 icons??? (only those size is needed)
BTW, i HAVE others program icons, all made by me..

No need to get cranky, I'm not trying to cross you just trying to contribute. I found the vista .dll file and thought I'd help out. Great news mine are also different fom yours so the people have got some extra choice as which of them to use. I'll resize it the .dll file file.
@ Aqrab: As for other folder, as mentioned Skizzo has created some others. But these are all the vista folders windows offers. I could however create some ore icons like WMP, and My Computer. Just give me a list of icons you need and I will create a cab file, cheers 12aon
Edit: updated to Vista Folders 1.1

you forgot to update the Attached Files to Vista Folders 1.1 !

Quck question!

Ok, so I am going to sound like an idiot but I don't know so I'm gonna ask anyway
When #2 says "paste all files into the /Windows folder on your device" is that one you create with the / or is it just the Windows folder on My Device? That folder has soo many files in it so it seems like youo would lose those files if you wanted to delete one day... And I have not installed a theme this way. I have done cab file themes and done the TF3D route, but not the manilla way...
Someone wanna help this poor soul? lol, thanks!

Fantastic! All we need now is a "Shipoopi" ringtone...

That's basically what the cab installs do. Use the folder that is already called Windows on the device.

Ok, so you install it to the Windows folder which has tons of files. So what happens if you want to uninstall the theme and put back the original or some other one?

There are places on XDA to get the original theme back, or you can drag all of the manila files from the windows folder into a folder on your PC to copy them and save for later. Yes you put them in the windows folder with all of the files in it. Just drag over from PC desktop to windows folder and soft reset.

Any chance of making it a .cab or .theme extension

Making a theme?

So I'm new to all of this. I bought a touch diamond with Sprint just last week and stumbled upon this site for themes and apps. It seems to be a very cool site for customization, but i've been wondering where should i start if i want to make my own themes? I got CFC and Manila editor. Are there tutorials or manuals on using those programs? And is there a way to extract the preinstalled theme that came with my phone so i can modify it? Thanks for any help.

To extract your phone's TF3D files
To extract your phone's TF3D theme, connect it to your computer using Activesync (XP) or WMDC (Vista) and click on "Explore Files". While exploring your devices files, navigate to the Windows folder of your cell phone then sort the files by type. Look for a collection of files that end in "manila" (there should be ALOT). Copy EVERY file that ends with .manila from your device to a folder on your computer (give it a couple minute as there are many files to copy).
To copy manila files to a manila editor
Using either Manila Editor of CFC GUI (i personally think CFC GUI is much easier to use because it gives me less errors), click on "File" and "Select Folder" to navigate to the folder where you copied the manila files on your computer. Select the folder and the files will be loaded into the program
To make your own theme
Once you have copied the manila files and loaded them into either Manila Editor or CFC GUI, the next step is to replace some of the icons with the ones you want for your theme. In CFC GUI (I havent used Manila Editor and dont remember the buttons for this so I cant instruct how to use it), click on any of the files and you will get a preview of it. If you would like to SAVE that icon in a png format to edit (with Photoshop/Gimp etc.) click on "SAVE AS" and choose the directory in which you would like to save it. To replace a manila file with your own, click on the file then select "REPLACE WITH" and choose your file (NOTE: The file you choose absolutely MUST be the same size as the original. If the original file is 128x128, the file you replace it with must also be 128x128).

Thanks jrodi. Im thinkin of making one myself too. But I wasnt sure if the icon size has to be the same as original.

There are multiple ways to install a theme to your device but ill go through the easiest and quickest method using Total Commander
1) Copy the manila files that you changed to a new folder on your phone (Give this folder the name of your theme). Turn off the TF3D plugin (Settings/Today/Items/ Uncheck Tf3d). Then use Total Commander to find the new folder and copy all of the files in the folder to the Windows directoty of your device. If you get a prompt, select "Overwrite All" and give it a minute to replace the files. Soft reset your device and youre done

I was just looking through the windows folder of my diamond but there are no files ending in manila, is it because its the sprint version or something?

How do you access all of the images/files for the os? There are some things Id like to swap out here and there. Try re-skining a few things. Do I need a kitchen?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

CFC_GUI would be the ticket you are looking for.

Depending on what you are trying to edit depends on if they are manila files, png, bmps. what are you trying to edit?

CFC GUI seems like the ticket! I cant seem to locate the manila folder to edit the file though.

The manila files are all stored in the windows folder but it is not a simple as editing the image and then putting it back. Make folder on your desk top for the files. Once you have CFC loaded up then go to tools and export to png, then you can edit them. once you edit the png files then use cfc to make them QTC files again and move them to your device. it will take some trial and error and maybe a reset or two to get the hang of it. Just read all you can on CFC and manila file editing

Active Sync the phone and the "windows" folder is nowhere to be found.
I have been reading about CFC GUI and I understand how stuff is done but, I cant find the windows folder...makes me feel retarded

you just need to set the "show all files and folders" option in windows on your pc, then the windows folder on the phone will be visible

thanks man, found the folder and grabbed the files!

It's even easier then your making it. You can Active Sync , start CFC_GUI , go to Device, select "export files" , pick a folder to send them all to.
