Who needs themes for TF3D anymore i say. Using the themes consumes precious rom, (check before applying ANY theme, and after) and seriously slows TF3D down.
Now with the great works of our developers here, we dun need any. i could seriously kiss a few of theme especially for the "no curtains" cab and "wallpaper4all" cab.
I say, download the "No curtains" cab, Wallpaper4all" and i'd like to add the "RC Mod", and you're all set to make your own theme right there on your device itself.
RC Mod can change the top and bottom control bars of your device with ease to adjust to your theme.
Note: several tsks cant seem to have their top and bottom bars edited, especially HTC Black. Just download another .tsk file, apply it, edit the top and bottom bar, and install all the cabs above, and wa la! your very own theme.
To further customize it, you can download TF3D Tabs Icons. There already are a few uploaded here.
I love doing it this way, cuz i do not handicap my TF3D speed, and i do not handicap my storage space.
I'd like to also suggest that theme developers start exporting their Tab Icons more.

i agree
Still theres alot easier to jus install a theme, but it is so sad that it fills up the rom, i have been carefull about installing new themes after my first hard reset, and just tested, say, about 5 themes, vista theme, orange light theme, the 2 last djoubhaa themes and the jewelery theme. now my rom is down to just about 7 mb. and when i reset to default theme it stays at 24 mb, when it used to be around 60?
i love themes, but not all files seems to be deleted with the apply theme app.
and therefore filling up the rom with useless files taaking up storage space.
I have not installed a single app to the rom either, so it cant be what is causing the pile-up.
I totally agree as well!
Customizing is a nice way to kill time
To spare my fellow readers the searching i have compiled a linklist. There's a lot more of course. This is just to get you started

Great Post!!!
OK one thing and I will request it over at the other post as well... but is there a way to put the "curtains" back? I tried it and some of the tabs have junk under the curtain... I will probably use the top curtain one but I can not figur eout how to get the bottom one back...
Thanks,
SoBBie
definitely the only way to go, installing a whole theme seems a bit like overkill to me, so I just change what I wish to go, naimly blank out those top curtains, do the wallpaper & use my own iconset (which can be seen & downloaded here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478066)
oh man...the rc mod is great...thanx a lot for finding this stuff man...lov my diamond a whole lot more now:'(
I have searched threads and described my issuse in posts and I cannot seem to get an answer. I will install an awsome theme but for some reason I still have the old windows default theme in my start menu and on the top and bottom bars of my screens.
I need help!! This is killing the look of my theme!!
I was wondering if anyone gets some WVGA themes for sharing for my new X1i.
Thanks alot!
I much prefer the background of the XPERIA Black theme, but unfortunately the bars are 'flat' and not 3D, and the color is not changeable via RCMod... so I wanted to place the images from XPERIA Black into the XPERIA Silver theme so I can play with the WinMo bar colors... has anyone done this? I don't have experience with the Theme Gen software out there.
Can always use tfl3d :-D Then you can use all the themes that are out there already.

Not entirely true. If you use the TF3D themes from the diamond they are in a VGA resolution not WVGA, so they dont look right. However, they can be changed with the TF3D theme editor.
I want to know where to find -or how to extract- the "Xperia black" original wallpaper from the whole theme
I like the image but the rest of the theme is boring... (flat borders, no animations, etc...)
I have installed TouchFlo3D as a panel and suddenly I found myself using it 80% of the time (10% Xpeia Media panel and 10% on other panels). IMHO TouchFlo 3D is A LOT much useful that the original Sony-Ericsson user interface.
I´d really like to find a way to put that original "xperia" image on my TouchFLO 3D panel home screen ("background" or "wallpaper") but I can't find theimage inside the phone
Found the original "Xperia" pic: its named stwater... something else in the windows forlder
I assigned it as wallpaper in TouchFLo3D settings tab -> wallpaper but only appears in the today screen !!! (I mean, when I change to any other tab "weather" "programs" etc it is not displayed)
Any solution ?? Ideas ??

There is a fix for that around here, try search box.
Actually, it's in the topmost sticky.

Many thanks to you buddy
You may also need the WVGAThemeHelper.cab...google it, install it, change theme, execute it. Needs to be executed after you changed a theme...
i dont understand how you install .tsk files? and also whats the wvgathemehelper.cab about? thanks.
Put *.tsk files on your phone (my documents/themes) Then you will be able to see these themes among your default themes.
"wvgathemehelper.cab" is to help your phone to correctly switch theme.
For me when i changed theme the background did not work, after i executed "wvgathemehe.." everything looks fine!

Edit: They do not nessesarly have to be in a "themes" folder, thats just a suggestion
thanks so much...ill have a go!

thank you very much
I saw a few people asking questions about how to remove this and this is going to become more annoying when full blown themes are made but i figured i'd let everyone know how to get rid of the default background and just use the manilla default.
Go into
HKEY_Current_User\Software\HTC\Manila
delete the contents of defaulthomebackground and homebackgroundpath.
DO NOT DELETE THE KEY JUST THE CONTENTS.
Enjoy. I'm going to start moving my themes from the xperia thread to Rhodium Themes section and i'll include this modification in my cabs so stay tuned.
How do you set a theme .cab file to remove things from the registry? I have always wondered that. I don't want people to have to do it manually.
And I wish you would have posted this a 2 days ago as thats how long it took me to figure out... lol I just got it about 3 hurs ago... hahaha.
Now the only other major problem I have is to be able to cfc compress a theme that will work on the stock Rhodium.
I think if you just add these registry keys in and leave the string blank it will clear them out but i can't say that for sure. I'll post a cab of my Touch of Blue theme and see if people can use that
Bah. Nevermind. Wrong thread.
Sorry I couldn't understand the reason behind the thread? Simply you can change the wallpaper from the setting tab...
The reason for the thread is to inform people on how to go back to the default tf3d background. Changing the background in the settings tab only changes the home tabs background unless you have the background in all tabs modification. So for instance if you install a theme via cab and u've never made this mod then u will have a different home screen which doesn't match the theme.
Ok..
Thanks for the clarification...
Hello guys im looking for the Default WM White Taskbar Icons from the Latest 6.5.X Builds the rounded one.
Ive search almost everywhere and post the same thread in Themes and Application but i think the best place is here and some chief just can extract them and post like a single cab.
Im tired from all this COLORFULL Icons and i like how simple and clear look the default white one.. so i need only them.
Will be great is someone can post them here like a cab.
Regards
Your requesting icons, so moved this to general discussion as not related to rom development
