hi all, i recently seen a nice spb calc diamond skin, and i decide to make my own much more like manilla dialer (white), hope you like it !
Portrait AND landscape .
screenshot:
as usual install spbcalc wich is in the zip, then copy the 2 gifs to your /windows
EDIT: you must copy the 2 gifs files with file explorer like resco or total commander FROM YOUR DEVICE, don't use activsync!!, when do it properly the system must ask you : are you sure to replace existing files ? then answer yes to all, this way it should work...
EDIT 2: QVGA conversion by vitornog SEE PAGE 3 !!!
EDIT 3: "Ready to use" CAB file by Rondol1 on PAGE 4,thx man !!
EDIT 4: Updated portrait (with smoother fonts) see attached zipped gif, copy it in windows folder...
EDIT 5: FINAL VERSION SEE: SPB CALC MANILA STYLE FINAL.ZIP, I have not included QVGA in this version cos the image quality is not good in QVGA and i don't have a QVGA device...Installation as usual...Waiting for someone to make a "ready to use" CAB
EDIT 6: Now with cab installer , many, many thanks Rondol1: thanks to him just install the cab and voila !!
Updated with landscape mode...
Cool, now a new Manilla skin for the windows Agenda?
Thanks man nice job.
Cheers.
thank you for saving us from the ugly moth*r fu*er wm skin calculator!
why can they do a decent skin for such a common but useful application? why?
thanks for your great effort, I'm going to give this a try, I like it, it's simple and clean interface.
It doesnt work. I get the black skin that comes with the .cab .. but not this skin. I copied the Gif in to Windows folder .. what have i done wrong?
may be try a soft reset (if not already done)
...did the system ask you to replace the old gifs ? if not, you surely unzip in wrong folder or apply path when unzipping, the gifs must be in windows folder not in windows/spbcalc.../
please check, and tell us.

same for me on my diamond, & I've already copied the 2 attachment skin files to window folder, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I had the black background too, this was when I tried to copy the images via activesync into windows, it did not prompt for overwrite.
I copied the files onto the internally storage, then copied them and pasted them into windows folder on the device using file explorer on the phone, it then prompted if I wanted to overwrite.
It works with the method I just did.
how do you get into landscape mode?

EDIT:
now, from everyone's response, the skin is not like the screen cap as shown, right?
Hi, the cab is working, you just have to install and then copy the two gifs in windows folder but not from activesync, i do this by the file explorer in my diamond and Voila! ça marche...

Hi Guys!
I've searched days and could not found one post about how to actually:
- Use the Manila Editor properly
- Where are the default theme's manila files
- How to create a .theme file
I started playing aound with Manila Editor v2, but I was only able to find the manila files of the theme (XenRed) that I applied previously (root windows folder). Now, I copied it over to my PC, and then created a few new graphics, then I replaced the manila extracts (PNG) with my own. After this I copied it back to the phone (HTC Diamond still turned on) and I overwrote the manila that I modified on the machine: NOTHING happened.
Than I rebooted (HTC). Still nothing.
- Should I uninstall Diamond TF3D config?
- Does the change only occur, if I change the whole set?
- Can I just change idividual manila files, and than see the result?
Any help would be much appretiated!
I am trying to create a Fallout 3 style Theme for myself and share it with freinds, fans, etc, but I cannot make it work.

Hi
How does one cook a custom theme into a ROM and make that the default theme? I've tried editing quite a few registry entrys and it still does not work.
Another question along the same lines, how do i cook in a custom today wallpaper? I've tried changing registry entrys here as well but it didn't work either
Thanks
Mod edit: Solved thread
well...
long history here...
First.. the themes for 6.5 and 6.5.X are not the same theme, so genereally if you want to cook inside a theme that you have made... simply be sure that you have a TSK that contains all the registry entries for images and the two images in JPG format with your size screen set them as "read only" and "archive" attribs then save the cab as winmo cab then rename it from .cab to .tsk then.... put it into a EXT pkg in your EVK kitchen or whatever you have EVK or OSK make a pkg called "my theme name" inside a folder called "FILES" inside that folder all images of the theme and the TSK too... then go to your RUNCC or autoinstall or however you have and set in the txt file this comand...
TSK: \Windows\My theme name.tsk
at the end of the file this way in the botting procces frist customization the theme will be set as default
is the dirt way but you can make it safely instead of changing many regs that simply you will forgot the original
Y'all must to remember that if you want to patch the theme or install a them in a runing working rom in teh device you must to trust sign the TSK but if you are cooking the kitchen will do it for you
The wall paper is easy: just set whatever pic you want as the wallpaper using either Home-settings or the pic and video tool. Then open \windows, and look for the newest files. You'll see two files named stwater_###x###.png or something very similar (could be tdywater). Grab these two files and then when you're editing a .tsk file, include the files in it. Now you're done.
If you want to cook the theme straight into the rom, then you need to dump all of the reg keys and put them into an app.reg file in a package that runs at the end of the build. Name your two wallpaper files (portrait and landscape) "classicblue_stwater_480_640.jpg" and "classicblue_stwater_640_480.jpg," and stick them in the same EXT. (To get the proper names for your device, look in (SYS\Build#\dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640\COMMON\base_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640), obviously with the proper resolution.) Look through your add2config.txt or config.txt files, and make sure that no other stock .tsk is run during customization.
I know i to cook a theme and set as default and blabla....but its interesting know how to trust sign the TSK when i make a theme.cab to put in a working rom...can you explain?

A way that bobsbbq has taught me, and has worked for a 6.5.5 theme
make a new folder in your EXT packes, called whatever the theme is, and in there make another folder called files, in the files folder copy across everything in the theme's cab. then go back into the root of the themes package folder and make a new text document called add2config in there paste the following:
TSK: \Windows\XXXX.tsk
where XXXX is the exact name of yout .tsk file found in the themes cab (so it will also be in the files folder if you want to copy the file name exactly.
Save the text document and then just select it in your kitchen

I started having problems with Farmer Ted's way so I tried this one instead. It works perfectly except for one thing, that it needs a restart before it's effective. Is there any way to get it working on first boot?
I use this one:
OEM\ExtendedPKG\config.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
TSK: \WINDOWS\Htc_black.tsk
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
This will set that theme on first boot, of course you need to have RunnCC running.
You must change Htc_black.tsk with your tsk name.

I did mine exactly like that but it doesn't work. It only works after I reboot the phone atleast once
EDIT: I noticed if i go to settings/home, it is set as the default theme (it's hilighted) but it's not actually visible anywhere.
EDIT2: Never mind it's sorted out. I went back to Farmer Ted's way and got it to work exactly how I wanted it.

Does this method select the theme on 1st boot?
btw, how do you select a default Wallpaper for Manila's Home Tab?
sometimes you need to take your theme tsk rename it to .cab open it with cab manager and change the pics inside
the manila use as default a pic inside the EXT or OEM pkg it contains the manila app... search for the image and just replace it same size, and attributes.

Thanks. Will try it out
what would the image name be? in EXT Manila.exe is only in Manila_Core and I don't have any image there except Manila files...
In OEM I saw the default HTC Black.tsk along with HTC stwater images...
Do I need to replace these 2 Images (HTC Black Stwater... 480x800 and 800x480)?
Hello my friend
I would like to cook a wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 on my LEO rom.
I have read cracing's tutorial, made a cab, and i run this cab with RUNCC.
The cab is installed, but it appear that my reg entries aren't wrote ( or erased...)
Anyone have somes idea for this problem ?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Nixeus

How to cook custom background wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 ( Home Screen )
1. First rename your image file ( PNG or JPG, Not sure about other formats ) to HomeBackground.img*.
2. Create a CAB file ( Using any of your fav SW, i.e WinCE CAB Manager ).
3. Place this .img file into the CAB. Location should be \Windows.
4. Open Notepad and copy the reg entries written below :
HTML Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\ReturnValue]
"Status"=dword:00000001
"FilePath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\Setting]
"Enable_DRM"=dword:00000000
5. Paste into the Notepad file.
6. Edit the image paths to your image located. I.e CachedBackgroundPath, HomeBackgroundPath and FilePath. The HomeBackground.img and this image should be same.
7. Save the Notepad file to 1.reg.
8. Import the 1.reg file into the CAB file and save it. ( If your CAB manager doesn't support importing reg file(s), try adding the reg entries manually )
9. At last use this cab file to your auto run or etc inwhich the cab should be installed while Manila 3D is running.
This big process is coz, these things should be changed/written while Manila 3D is running. If you do this into rgu and run Manila 3D later on, it doesn't read/change the background wallpaper. However, I have tried few hours playing with this and found the working way. If any of you can find still more simple way, that would be more then a great.
Note #1: The file extension should be correct. i.e reg.txt or img.png is wrong. Make sure about it!
Note #2: The Manila 3D should be loaded fully before the CAB ( via autorun ) installs. If it a lil difference, Manila 3D won't load the image. It is hard to setup but this is the only way!
Sorry for writing too lengthy and not so good language but I hope you can understand better
Thanks a lot to Amarullz!
Best Regards

Hi,
I got the same problem.
Did you managed to solve it?
I also would like to make the cab do not appear in the program list (just to avoid that it is uninstalled)
Why are you doing it with a cab? I would just cook it straight in, with the reg entries and the image as a rom file. There are probably some provxml's that will over-write the reg entries (and maybe rename a file to the background), so find the provxml's and edit them.
Hi Farmer Ted,
I tried cooking the background (all regs + HomeBackground.img), but It didn't work.
It seems that it has to be done after manila is fully loaded.
Anyone have managed to get it to work?
