MACrosoft Mobile 6.1

Made a skin for the hybrid (dual OS) user. For fun only.
Things used: WA3, HTC home, skins and icons from different authors, some new skinning knowledge. I dont have softkeys visible at the bottom (I use only the hard buttons) so I get more screen space. The black one below is my replacement for the green 6.1 screen.
Having Schap's Advanced Config and KaiserTweak helps in addition to the above programs user menus, and Wisbar skins by Juni are sweet. I personally photoshopped the magnifying glass in the bottom left for the popups for the new tasks, as well as the "A" for apps, and moved the settings from another HTC home customizer icon set. dThis is a fast layout that is really simple looking but everything is accessible by hardbutton maps and touchscreen UI.
I was going to call it something playing off the Parallels idea, but the Titan doesn't have enough ram to make that believable
I will give you the skins and icon folders if you like any of this.

Maybe if some people want it, I will post links to the programs and the skin files I made but I would like to learn how to skin mortplayer a bit better. I have to put together the slices so I can skin it with the same background (notice it is a mix of the default desktop backgrounds for the two OS).

dude i want it

Here is what you will need. You will need the following:
Wisbar Advanced: This is where you will use the skin from inside Macrosoft WA toolbar.zip. Install skin file while in wisbar then make sure the windows/apple icon is there in the folder. If not overwrite with the one from the archive.
HTC Home and HHC Customizer 1.0: First you will need to load the most current HTC Home and then open HHC Customizer. Download the following skins: 1. Background = Transparent 2. Clock = Segoe shaded transparent 3. Mac Leopard. I turned off weather and music. You can do what you want. You will need to put those icons in the HTC Home folder into the one on the phone in the HTC Home folder.
Macrosoft background can be opened in pictures and videos to set as background with 0% transparency.
You will need to overwrite the welcomehead.96.png file. Cut from this archive and paste to \Windows.
Next, run the macrosoft.cab for a replacement background on the phone skin.
Lastly, you will need mortplayer and then unzip vista.zip and extract vista.mpz to mortplayer's folder in \Program Files\Mortplayer then select that from the menu.
That's it. Let me know if you have problems or if I forget something.

[APP] Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [15 May] New Version

I decided to write a Manila Customizer that will work Similar to HHC for Kaiser.
The app can be unzipped anywhere but i suggest \Internal Storage\Program Files\ManilaCustomizer
The Clocks are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Clocks
The Icons are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Icons
The Sliders are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\Sliders
The TopCurtains are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
The BottomCurtains are stores in Whatever Path\ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
The app will look for a .jpg file in order to be able to display and add a Clock theme and same goes for icons etc
So if you want to add a clock Called FireLighter then simply Create a Folder :
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter <-The Folder where the Manila Files are
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter.jpg <- The image that will be displayed
Note the Jpeg and the folder has to be the exact same spelling.
If the system finds a .jpg it will look for a folder by the same name and move all those files into \Windows upon selecting the Clock Set.
Same goes for the Icons and all others
There are a few special files in \ManilaCustomizer\*.txt. When an Item is applied the files for the Item (eg Clock) is stored in these files and when a new Item is applied it will first delete the files from the previous Item and then Apply the new Item (was changed to work this way in ver 0.6)
Please give feedback. Thanx
Ok i decided to split it into three parts for now. Application , Clocks, Icons.
So unzip Clocks into WhateverPAth\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks and same with icons
IVe only tested this on original installed black Manila on WWE Rom
Credit goes to the Following People so far who Supplied Clocks and Icons
NisseDILLIGAF
Panosha
lexxirae
ProphecyXR
doc31 - Sticker Icons
skilty - Added a zip file with three new sets of everyting. Very nice
If there are some clocks here that belong to anyone please pm me and ill add your name to the credits
Done :
Clocks \ManilaCustomizer\Clocks
Icons \ManilaCustomizer\Icons
Sliders \ManliaCustomizer\Sliders
TopCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
BottomCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
Please Check Post two. Delete the whole app before reinstalling. Fixed all Clocks etc
Wanna Say Special thanx to NisseDILLIGAF for his help. I dont know much about Manila files but he has helped me a lot
The ManilaCustomizer.Zip file includes 2 samples of every item cause some people dont understand the directory structure to well. Hope this helps
Garp69 Took it upon himself to maintain all graphics for this app And Im Very Thankfull for him for that please have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202
New version on next post

ChangeLog
Ver 0.1 - Initial Test Version, Only First Tab Worked for Clocks
Ver 0.2 - Added Icons Tab and Made it functional
Ver 0.3 - Rewrote Whole app and made it finger friendly.
- All Tabs Working Now, Clocks,Icons,Sliders,Top Curtain,Bottom Curtain
Ver 0.4 - Manilla Automatically Disabled at Start of Program and Started on Program Exit by using this app : http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
Ver 0.5 Fixed Finger sliding (was working wrong way around)
- Added Option to remove all manila files in windows
Version 0.5 Included Top/Bottom Curtains and Sliders in Manilacustomizer05.zip Please delete all old clocks and icons and curtains and sliders. I fixed all problems i think and old files might cause complications
Ver 0.6 Changed the way the thesmes are handled. It seems like to many different clocks, Icons and sliders use too many different files. The system will now store the files to be deleted for every item. SO when a new Item is applied it will delete all the files from the previous Item before applying new files, then store the new files and delete them again next time a new item is applied. No new files required it will use ResetClock.txt etc
Ver 0.7 Alot was changed. So please delete all files and folders and unpack the main zip files
System will now backup any item before it will apply a new one
Option to Restore from last backup
All manila files can be backed up (Not really recommended because it can be over 1000 files and take 8meg - im looking for a better colution)
Confirmation added before Resetting all manila files
Slide option is changed so when last item is reached it will got to first one and when first is reached it will jump to last
Version 0.8 Item Backup and Restore working 100%
Complete Manila backup will look at rom date and backup all manila files thats different so backup can be as little as 2 files if onl a clock was changed instead of backing up all manila files.
Manila Restore working perfectly as well
Version 0.9 Added Backgrounds and Touch Focus. Still busy with better backup solution. Look for Panorama Backgrounds on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3412257&postcount=748
Uninstall old version and reinstall new one, you wont loose any of ur custom items

Another one
Busy with at the moment :
Added Touch Focus Colours - Done
Added WallPaper Change option - Done
Adding Custom Option so people can have own special settings etc. Will be added Under Clocks/Sliders/Etc will also have an undo option for that
Adding functionality so one can enter a name when backing up full manila so custom themes can be backed up and restored....would be nice for saving multiple favourite looks.

Great application, thank you

good idea, thanks for sharing

Dude...you're the man.....
Great applications...Will try it soon.....
Thanx man !!!

Cool
Please tell me what other Hacks/Custmizations can be added

Grumps you can take all my icons themes (here) they are all in zip files (directly manila files)
i work to make zip manila files for my clocks

ok man i tried it ...and i found some bugs...(i don't know if you just know this bugs)
PS: I have an italian ufficial ROM
1)If I want to put a flip clock the clock flip veryveryvery fast...and appear "T-mobile" instead the mine.
2)There isn't the manilla files for the analog fire clock xD only the pic
3)The "Help" button in "Option" doesn't work
Sorry i didn't try the icon yet...but I will do it soon
EDIT: ok man i tried the icons...and that works perfectly

10x very much. it's a great program.
I'll check it later.
about what you can add:
1. change the entire background in manila (a checkbox)
2. if u can integrate the tool that choses the default calender, dialer, sms....

1. I will do this as soon as its working on analog clocks as well
2. Do you mean to reset everything to default?

Great idea, keep going.

all my themes have the slider ( you can see it in pictures)
the slider : 1e29e8e7_manila
i've got an idea :
make the choice to have the background behind the icons and the background of provider and date (black, colored, semi transparent or not)
background icons : 1864da05_manila
background provider and date : 18c460d8_manila

Ok im confused i dont know much about the inner workings of Manila.
If you say background icons, background provider and date can you be more specific to what it is exactly then i can do that.
Im going to ad invisible top/bottom bar next and different sliders

Thanx bud

Thank you I added your icons to the first post. Love them

Grumps i'm sorry too, i don't speak english very well, so look this :
[/URL][/IMG]
1 - is top bar or provider background : the file associat is 18c460d8_manila
2 - is the bottom bar or icons background : the file associat is 1864da05_manila
3 - is the slider off course. the file associat is 1e29e8e7_manila
i hope you understand me

Awesome..
Well done Grumps.
Was waiting for a programmer to tackle the whole customisation of the TouchFLO 3D interface.
I have a rapidshare premium account at your disposal when your project is completed.
Is there any chance of changing the weather graphics in this as well?, extra tab would be good to i.e calander tab, missed call, comm-manager etc.
Once again a big thank you from all at XDA-Developers..

Thanx

s2w Blackdrop revised TFL3D

For those who have used my blackdrop in the past, here is an update for the blackdrop theme for tfl3d. I might be late to the TFL3D game... but for those interested its here.
As with the old blackdrop... It will blend with any wallpaper... As we sometimes want a specific background, but a theme might not mix well. The blackdrop's intent is to make it all transition.
Made it a simple theme with the following:
No dotted lines
Translucent focus bars
Translucent buttons (ex sms icons, email icons, envelope, music and so on)
Glass clockface (not a flipclock)
Again my goal was making it easy to blend with any background of your choice...
Made for TFL3D (from a stock sprint)
Install:
Just download and place it in your themes folder.
Use the tfl3d config -> go to appearance -> find the path -> and apply.
Enjoy the 1st simple version!
More updates will follow with different bg imbedded as you see above.
Any comments will be much appreciated. Thanks and enjoy!
****Having troubling with adding the theme... will try again****
Try here for now if interested:s2w Blackdrop revised TFL3D

Here is a matching psshutXp

*Reserved*

looks very fine

Like your theme, but I have just binned TF3D in favour of SPB MS3, but I would still like to use your nice psshutxp skin, I headed over to PPCGeeks but I can't find a download link for that so could you upload that one here please?

Hi, I really like this theme, however I'm running on an HTC Fuze from ATT. I was wondering if this would work on a GSM phone and is there a download link? Thank you.

Can't change background and clock going haywire

Hi guys
Ok, first of all - this is my first post. Woohooo. K now that that's out the way, lets get down to business.
Had a new slider and clock etc and then I saw XenRed (http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/) ... Decided to install it (using Diamond TF3D Config) and it works. But can't change the wallpaper. Tried using mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02 and then my clock just started ficking through numbers and sticks at 12:59. I Used Diamond TF3D Config to reset to defaults and I just can't get the wallpaper to work (I tried in Settings - Wallpaper and Start - Settings - Today - Use the Picture as the background).
I'm not a developer so I can't exactly go write my own manilla files or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. If possible, I wanna have a different today wallpaper to every other one but wanna customise both. I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&page=53
But I don't know how to edit Manilla files. Is there a CAB that will work that I don't know about? Thanks everybody

that background for all pages has some nasy effects on some versions of the tf3d especially modded versions, theres not much you can do apart from either unistall everything to do with the tf3d and re install tf3d or hard reset and start again

Diamond 2 and skins

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me if it is posibble to change the skins on the diamond2 (the newest model).
What kind of program will i need?
i have downloaded the program from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
and want to use the skins in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
Can i do this om my diamond 2?
If not can someone please tell this newbey how i can change my skins on the htc diamond 2
Thank you so much

hi,
no you can't because the skins you pointed out are for TF2D (manila2D) only.
Nevertheless it's possible to change the skin : choose TF3D2.1 skins for your Diam2
The best is to install themes cabs : copy the cab to your ppc then click on it with your explorer (total commander by example) to install it and soft reset (reboot)

Well thank you very much for your reply!
I typt tf3d2.1 in the search field here on the site but i did not find any files.
Can you point me in the right direction? where can i find that kind of themes?
Thank you again

hi,
First of all your Diam2 (topaz) is WVGA (480x800px screen) so you have to verify in thread title if the theme is really made for WVGA screens.
Second, your UI is called TF3D2.1 (or manila 2.1) here on XDA : that means you can install full themes made for TF3D2.1 or icons only (from bottom bar) made for TF3D (the first diamond or Blackstone). The best is to try different themes because there is no general rules : some icons sets will work but others won't
The last version TF3D2.5 from LEO device (manila2.5) won't work with your Diam2 stock rom.
there are different ways to get skins for your Diam2 :
- into the dedicated Topaz section : HERE (this one was made especially for your Diam2 so all the stuffs you'll find into this section will work on your Diam2)
- Into general dev&hack section you have the windows themes : HERE
(this is general section so all the themes in this section won't work : verify WVGA TF3D2.1)
- the most important skins databases for TF3D are for Diamond1 (HERE) & HD-Blackstone section (HERE) (because they are older than your D2)
By example, these ones should work on your Diam2 :
- Snoopy
(choose WVGA, don't install VGA or manila2.5 cabs)
- Dusk for manila2.1
- Coquette
- Vector
- my TF3D icons HERE
BTW skins & themes are mentioned by [SKN] or [THE] for a better readability in thread title
One last thing : never install a theme cab on a previous one, always remove old theme cab before installing a new one ^^

Hi thank you again for your reply you made me a happy woman haha
Tonight (its 10 a.m. here) i gonna to install your black icons on my diamond 2
You made what was gibberish for me a normal language thank you so much

I really liked your black vi.7 icons. I downloaded the file and i am gonna install it tonight!
I let you know if it worked! and i am gonna add a thanks on your thread ofcourse

Can i also instal the v2.2 icons? i liked those evenmore

Yes, all my SenseLIKE TF3D icons work with TF3D1/TF3D2.1

well i got something strange it does not fully work on my diamond
How i installed it..
i installed the cab on my memory card. then i installed the program and turned my telephone off and on.. and i tryed to soft reset it.
Is this the right way to install it?
The problem is that the first icon stays in color and the pictures of the icons do not fully fit in the icons. you can not see the full icon.

Do you have the new TF3D2.1 Sense (weather clock) ?

uhmm i have windows 6.5 with the newest rom update from the htc website. the rom update that change the colors the icons. And i do have the weather clock.

oh and maybe good to know.. i have diamond tweak installed on my phone

cant see to get the m mobiler working 2 :s

got the mobiler working but the front is not fully showing.. i hope you got the idea..
you can see the top of the icons
i attatched a print screen

it seems like the icons are to big for the slide bar

hi,
thanks for the screenshot : I can see your issue now ^^

thanks again! gonna try it tonight..
Hope it works!
Ill let you know

yes i worked
Looks so nice!!!
Thank you so much!
Now im gonna try to figure out if i can change that green color that you see in the phone. that little green ball wich tell you how much emails you got and in the organizer.. really dont like the green color..
Well anyway you helped me solve my problem with the colored icons!!
Many many thanks

if you know the answer to my question can you tell me how :$
All most afraid to ask haha you helpt me already so much..

hi,
Well, for Email bubble notification, the most important collection to my knowledge is the one made by CMYLXGO at PPCGeeks : HERE
To change green highlights to blue you can take a look at DJCedric or Henk2484 BlueHighlights
