and i was sondering, since i want a light slider (see attachment)
if someone could help me out finding/sending me the original touchflow 3d 2 icon manila files for the active icon! cuz i want to make that darker so it looks better, since i cant find any other custom icons that rly looks that good and i cant seem to find the manila files, and those icon manila files i find doesnt change all the icons like in all people tabs and such, so i rather just use the original icons

I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks
What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...
yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.
this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas
that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...
Hi there, im thinking about the issue that you cant use a background for all tabs in TF3D, so i am trying to find a solution for that.
We need to find out where in TF3D the XML definition of background tiling is, so we could deactivate that, and replace the manila background tile with a normal wallpaper.
What do you think?

That would be great, one of the most annoying things of TF3D is the background only works on the Today screen. I guess another option would be to find the graphic file within the manilla files that contains the default one. I have seen a couple themes where they have changed that default image, I think it was the Orange one.
added to thread subscriptions, maybe we can do this and it will be so much better!
Thanks, look at the Vodafone theme for example, there is a blank white background. Can we customize the original files like this just with a wallpaper?
I found out that there is a 2bd5bb26_manila (Background image only on O2 theme) in the o2 theme.
When we could use this manila file for other themes too, we would have solved the theme problem!
there's one thing i don't really understand here.
in the o2 default blue theme, the gradient background (for all the tabs) is saved as an image of the width of 1 pixel. i tried to substitute it with another, wider image, but it didn't work.
in the htc black theme, on the other hand, there's no direct image for the background, instead, only the tiles are coded somewhere as image files.
how does it work then, i mean how does manila know how the background is encoded, whether it's a 1px-wide image that needs to be stretched or a tile that fits onto the background "floor" or whatever else on other themes?
if we could find the place where it's encoded what (and how) manila uses for the background, then i guess we could play with it a little more
This is what i have found about the background question in TF3D...

I haven't had any more time on it .. but I think we have to wait until we can change the mania/GLES files...
I hope this can be done
Installed vist_like_2.cab to replace icons on today screen but as you slide across screen original icons show up on top of new icons any help would be great(basically need a fix for this or help with a colorful icon theme
It would be helpful if you were more specific about what exactly you wanted help with...luckily, with a bit of searching and initiative I found what you're referring to:

So it seems all you need is to know is which file the slider is so you can edit the png file. Unfortunately, I don't know as my experience with customising Manilla is limited, but once you know it should be easy enough to do.
I'm sure somebody can point you to right file now.
Ive always been curious if there is a way to add a shadow behind all the text in TF3D. With the text being white, some wallpapers cant be used because they "hide" the text and that really limits the wallpaper use in TF3D if you want to be able to read messages, etc.
If there is a way to place a text shadow behind all the text in touchflo, it would be a great achievement and im sure it would please a very great deal of people. Does anybody know a way to do this, or have any ideas on how to?
I tryed posting this question in the manila 2.1 thread twice, but no luck as there are so many people eager for help, and im okay with that because i know thats what xda is all about.
I guess it's possible, you could change the font in mode9 files...
In Manila 2.6 you get a nice semi-transparent area under the text on the home screen - that's a nice improvement.

Do you think Manila 2.6 will be ported to VGA, i see 2.5 is in the works, and 2.6 has just been released for the Leo, but its format is suited more for WVGA, lets just cross our fingers
any suggestion on how the text could be changed to have the same font but just with a shadow?
Hi all, theres no one who can post me the manila files to put into windows folder of a transparent slider? i don't need a cab file but only manila files.
thank you!
I am not sure if our problems are related, but If you are talking about what I think you are... I am looking for this too.
On the one side, I can edit my TF3d look, slider, and all that... however, on any slider I install, the square that highlights the current tab still has the Icons from the stock rom, Orange and plain. Don't get me wring, they are alright, but when the slider has different Icons on it from the original Orange Icons, it kind of clashes.
Anyone able to help me remedy this problem? I would be very grateful.
EDIT: By the way, I have the sprint Touch Pro 2 (Manila Version 2.1.38416.1)
