What to do with Manila files? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Ok. I have done a good deal of searching and would have rather figured this out for myself, but I am not finding the information that I need.
I know for themes all you have to do is zip the manila files then change the extention to .theme. Now, for clocks, icons, and just about everything else, what do you do with the manila files? Are they dragged into the Windows folder on the phone?
I think I saw a thread here at one time that actually said what to do with them. Maybe it was at ppcgeeks. I dont remember. I dont need, or want, someone to hold my hand through this. I wanna learn. If someone knows the thread I am referring to could you please link it? I am just trying to learn as much as I can about this stuff. Thanks.

Get Manila Customizer.

I don't see it. I also don't know where to contact that guy.
Post in that thread...
I understand its your 2nd post here..but like everyone is told, please read the FAQs and everything before posting a new thread. A new thread only makes searching difficult for everyone else and makes the forum packed
Uhh......majority of the apps are simple ".cab" files, just click on them in the file explorer of your PPC. Really, it's that simple. If you need other help, post in the above mentioned thread, and be more specific, can't help fix a problem we don't understand ourselves!

Windows Vista Theme

Hi guys,
I'm trying to put together a Vista style theme for my HD. I've never made one before so I'm kind of learning as I go. Firsth things first, I'm currently missing a few icons for my tf3d tabs.
Does anyone know of a good Vista style icon for 'SMS', 'Stocks' & 'Weather'? I've posted the images I have for the other tabs below (all are .png 32x32px).
I think I can manage to sort these out into the relevant manilla files using manilla editor (though knowing me I'll some how mess it up!)
Next up I want to change the Start Button icon into the Vista one. I've read through the relevant thread over in the Diamond forum but didn't really get what I needed to to as far as creating the relevant .dll file was. I've attached another .png of the icon I want below as well.
Hopefully noone has yet made the type of theme I'm looking to create; if they have, please let me know because I'm reckoning they'll have done a far more professional job than me!

[REQ] HTC Touch HD Theme Creation

After some searching through the vast amount of information on these forums I'm still at a lose on how to create my own Theme's on my HTC Touch HD.
Do I need to change TouchFlo theme's or Manila themes? It is it a tad confusing to a noobie!
I've discovered things that edit previously made ones but dont really want to do this. I really need to be able to open the files in photoshop, preferably in JPG format in order to change them to my cool designs that I'm sure you'll all love!
I'm a Photoshop designer and think my skills at doing this would be appreciated once I've learnt how to save the files out. I've already got a few ideas on some of the icons/wallpapers/theme's I'm planning on using. If anyone can let me know how to rip the files from my phone that need chaning I'd appreciate it.
I've read that they all end _manila, but I cant seem to find them.

Manila file

The attached manila file is from a TF3d clock. The author changed something in this file to stabilse the clock as it was able to be moved all over the screen
Can somebody please indicate to me which part of this manila file controls the fixed/movable state as I use a different clock but have the same issue, so by learning what controls it I can edit it my file for myself.
Many thanks
I know theres plenty of knowledgable people on this site so dont be shy lol
Please help if you can, thats how 'these' sites flourish.....
Thanks
Anyone help?
