I have used certain CAB files from the Diamond forum to change my clock, icons and windows icons but would like to know if anyone has used the manila customizer to change things.
My reason for asking is that there is a set of icons I like but are only available as a zip file containing the manila folder. Also to remove the curtains I have only found zip files.

Thanks for that. Ive read that thread but not taken in fully as I was looking at the screens rather than the how to .
Can anyone tell me what's the easiest way of creating a manila theme? I would like to make a slider with my own icons and background. Thanks in advance.
i second that...i'm also interested in givin back to the community
manila editor
just copy paste that to the search bar
when u've edited your manila files create a cab file from the changed manilla's
and voila u've got yourself a "theme"
You can also use CFC Gui to export manila files as png, edit them and then replace them with your own gfx.
CFC Gui also supports lossless image compression to save ram, your manilla.exe must be patched first though.
good morning:
before you guys tell me to search, i have already did over and over again. all the threads i see was not entirely clear. some threads say soemthign about having a manila editor and i would need a hex editor and stuff. other people say i jsut use the change wallpaper setting in the settings tab ( i tried, it doesnt work). i also tried downloading a configurator ( dimaond) and it doesnt work. so i want to know, how exactly do you change a wallpaper for touchflo cooked roms? ( please, no vague , shortcut descriptions). i will very much appreciate it. thanks.
p.s. i mean to change only the home screen, not necessarily all tabs, but that can help to.
First we'd need to know what touchflo you're using, TF3D 1 or TF3D 2 "Landscape".
For the first, you need to edit a manila skin file, extract to a png with CFG Editor (search on XDA), edit it in photoshop, alter the manila skin file back with CFG Editor into the png you made, then hex-edit the file and paste it in your windows directory, together with another file that you'd need to download. Aka, it's a hassle. I can't tell you where to download all this, as I don't remember.
TF3D 2 its easier, just need to edit 4 skin files, without hex editing.
Are you sure you want to do this?
And how can I change the TouchFlo 3D 1 wallpaper in the cab version?

thanks for the reply. sorry i forgot to mention im using touchflo 2
but yes i would like to attempt it if you can give me directions on how to do it. i appreciate it a lot.
Edit the following files: (get them from your windows folder)
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
Two of 'em are for portrait, two for landscape.
Use cfc gui to extract the pngs and recompile them when you're done.
Copy them to your \windows folder and you're all set.

hi!
i don't know how to extract the icons from this theme
i opened it with winrar and there were the manila files, then i searched for the icon manila files (i had the names from other icon packs) but i couldn't find them!
can anyone help me please?
try opening the manila files with CFC or Manila editor you can then see which icons you want to edit/replace.
The ROM I'm currently using comes with Manila 2.1 pre-installed. While it's mostly unmodded, the modification to apply the home tab background to all tabs was put in, by the ROM author. I don't like this feature and would like to remove it so that the home tab has my custom wallpaper and the rest of the tabs have the default black background.
I've searched through the EXT package for the latest Manila 2.1 release and I can't locate these files, so I was wondering if you guys could help. Looking at the _setup.xml for the cab version of the all tabs mod, it would appear I need these files:
1c684cd8_manila
5c9aa261_manila
7adfaca3_manila
SetupDLL.dll
Can someone help me out here by either uploading them, for me, or explaining to me where I can find them. Thank you in advance.
You can find them in the package release of GenY Manila

Yeah, I goofed. I unhid system files, but forgot to direct the search tool to include system files in it's results. Thanks, though.
