Mail-Design -> SMS/Messging (Manila2D) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Good evening,
I cant write english in a good way, so have fun at reading^^
This is my solution to add the Envelope/letter do the messaging-tab.
As you can see the background of the letter in the messaging tab AND in the mail-tab were changed.
SCREENDUMPS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Included in "Files1" (at Downloads)
Cheated solution for Bug2 (Long messages will be displayed over the envelope) - Included in "Files2" (at Downloads)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Go with an explorer to the windows directory and copy the files
hh_email_background.png
hh_email_envelope_down.png
hh_email_envelope_up.png
HTCHomeSettings.xml
to your storage card or anywhere else - THIS will be your backup, IF it doesnt work.
2. Copy the new files on your device. On the device you should copy all of the files in the windows-directory. You will be asked to overwrite the files - If you done task 1 its ok.
3. Restart Manila/Touchflo2D:
Settings -> Home -> System;
Uncheck "TouchFlo" -> Click OK;
Open the Home-Settings a second time -> System
Check "TouchFlo" -> Click OK -> Close Settings
4. There is no 4th Task, youre finished =)
BUGS:
1. If you scroll between your sms the envelope (not the letter) will slide too.
(Its the cause of replacing the line with the letter in the background)
2. Long messages will be displayed over the envelope (UNLIKE the mail-tab; the mails will be displayed correctly there)
(I made a cheated solution, with a white envelope - you can see it in the second picture)
Please notify that the home tab etc. will be changed too!
DOWNLOAD:
(I also uploaded my own created background/wallpaper) (Please dont host the files anywhre else and let the advertisement on uploaded.to opened 10 seconds):
It is VERY impossible to backup your files! (INSTRUCTIONS - Task1)
Files1 (with normal envelope + original files): http://ul.to/uh1way
Files2 (with white envelope + original files): http://ul.to/6t7fyt
Wallpaper: http://ul.to/qa18b1
PS: If you change things, like bugs etc. please post it here
Greetings
Hoamer

will this work in htc home, not manila?

Hm, i dont know. If htc-home is also based on xml-file it is possible - you can try it, but it is VERY impossible to backup your files - then you can try anything^^
If it works please post it here
EDIT: I searched for HTC-Home; no, this will not work with HTC-Home
Greetings

-thanks chriscsh, because i use his some files.
I'm sorry the first version don't work weather update, but now all work
Nice i'll give it a go.
Cool theme! I have some problems though...
1. The weather icon is too large. It seems to be double the size it should be.
2. Everything seems kind of cramped. Maybe things could be spaced out a slight bit more?
3. Maybe the music icon can show the artwork and controls on the bottom of the screen (and leave everything else still on the screen)?
Besides that, it looks great! Very minimalist.
About wether icons the last time i change icons on more big. Now i make VGA version and maybe new 0.2 being .cab files and could be spaced out a slight bit more. Wait.
New version 0.12. Just the wait!!!
now need make easy .cab files (0.12 and now only for QVGA displeys)

NOTES
=====
1. This cab will install the following
icon.dll (required for the icons to your windows directory)
Folders with my icons to your start->programs menu
2. The folders that will be installed have been given an ENGLISH name. If you have your default folders in another language, you will end up with your original ones PLUS my own folders.
===================
CUSTOMIZE YOUR FOLDERS
===================
1. Using a file explorer navigate to /windows/start menu/programs
2. Every folder (from my skin, has its own icon.lnk file. You can copy that to any folder you like to give it the same icon
3. Put that mess in a nice organized order!!!

Thanks, they are cool. looks great with the new rhodium icons.
Thanks
Excellent. These might end up in my ROM, if I can get evrything else working. Seems like nobody wants to share the Rhodium commanager, which is all I need to make more progress. Thumbs up
Here's some I put together. Not quite as nice, but effective.
Same install instuctions as Gianni86's folder icons.

Home screen direct link (TaskMgr) unremovable

My current problem is that the TaskMgr.exe disappears from the start menu, after a soft reset. Is there a reason/fix for this?
The other problem caused by this is, that my shortcut in the home screen becomes a dead link and is not removable. If I go to "menu->remove direct link->mark the task manager shortcut->finish" it simply stays there.
Even if I copy the taskmgr.exe to the start menu and the link is working again it wont be removable.
Is this a known issue and what can I do? Any help is much appreciated.
The whole thing looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks in advance,
eivissa
Try
Go to:
Registry Key:
HKLM/Software/Htc/Manila/Home/11
(If I counted correctly, this is the 12th item, and numbering begins with 0)
There should be some Values specifying the IconPath
and ProgramPath
They usually point to some *.lnk file
See if this file exists,
and if the Lnk file exists, see if the program it points to also exists.
(I dont remember how to check where a .LNK file point too,
maybe Edit would do)
Edit:
Oh, Yes, see if the Value
IsSet (under the same key) is set to 1.
Thanks very much,
editing programm path and link path did the trick that now the Icon is back there and the link works even after a soft reset.
Though I still cant delete the link from the home screeen. There is no error message or anything. The Icon just stays there after clicking "Finish" to delete it.
EDIT: IsSet is set to 1.
Well . . .

I had a problem deleting element after playing a bit with the registry, and leaving an item all set, but with "IsSet" set to 0.
In that case - everything showed, but I could not delete the element.
(There is another value there - I think "IsExist"
maybe that has something to do with it as well,
or maybe - just play a bit with the other values in theis key, and compare them to values in keys (like 0,1,2 . . .), and see if something changed
Or -
As some say
If it works (for your needs) - dont touch it)

[HOWTO] Set full screen background on Mega (Touch 2)

I did a (fake) full screen background for the default Mega’s theme, but you can do it for any image that you like.
>> Here is a usefull Tutorial about how to edit images by TheRem. <<
The defaults (Brown) Mega’s “Taskbar” and “SoftKeyBar” images for “HTC Black” theme, are named:
“HTCblack_taskbar.png” for Taskbar (UpBar) and “HTCblack_softkeybar.png” for SoftKeyBar (Down Bar).
They are under “/Windows” folder and you CAN'T replace them.
So what we do?
Its simple.
1. First of all you need a 240x320 (any format) image.
(For my example i used the default Mega's Background that is named "HTC_stwater_240_320.jpg" and you can find it under "/Windows" folder)
2. Crop it like TheRem’s Tutorial.
BUT crop both images (Taskbar’s and Shoftkeybar’s ) at 240x26 and NOT 240x18 / 240x34 as TheRem’s Tutorial.
3. Save them both as PNG (it might work for other formats too but not test it).
4. Transfer the two images to the phone.
(For my example I named images as “HTCblack_taskbar1.png” and “HTCblack_softkeybar1.png” and I put them under “/Windows” folder. But you can name them as you like and put them anywhere you like)
5a. Open a Registry Editor and head for TaskBar to: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Taskbar” open the “TaskBarThemeImage” and change the path “\Windows\HTCblack_Taskbar.png” to path that you place the image for Taskbar.
5b. For ShoftKeyBar head to: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar” and edit “SoftKeyBarThemeImage” as above.
(For my example I swapped paths to “\Windows\HTCblack_Taskbar1.png” and “\Windows\HTCblack_softkeybar1.png” respectively)
6. When you end all these, do a soft-reset and you will get these results.

The images that you want to change are part of Manila2d (TouchFLO2.0) and not part of windows system. So you need to search @ "M2D2.0 Themes Topic" about them... Anyway the images that you want are named "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png" and "hh_fw_title.png" under "\Windows" Folder but i dont know yet the registry keys that allows you to replace them... so do your search @ ''M2D2 Themes'' topic and i think you ll reach your answer

{BiGnAdAd HowTo} Want to Learn How to Make a Cab File? Step by Step Screenshots!

This How To will show you step by step how to create a cab file.
You can cab up anything you want to put on your phone in ANY directory...
Cab Manager Program
I use and recommend WinCE Cab Manager (Get it HERE)
it has a 30 day free trial and is $99 after that...
Sure there are more out there... Feel free to Post
Getting Started
First you will need a file to cab. We will start with a basic single manila file.
i have attached one if you don't already have..
* Here you can simply add a document/picture to your my documents folder
After Installing Open WinCE Cab Manager
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Enter Name's for Company and whatever cab your making
Just Click Next..
Just Click Next Again....
And now click finish...
Now this should be what you have. Displays all info for cab file
Now we need to add the files.
From windows explorer just click and drag the files right on top of Files...
Once you do that the following dialog box pops up...
Here you can change name or attributes
Click Location tab
Here you can choose what directory to put file(s) in. you can also add a new folder
Click Ok
Now back at main screen
Here you can "Allow Uninstall"
also you can Compress
I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two
From the menu click CABINET...PROPERTIES...
Here you can change ALL properties of cab file
Click OK...
Back at the Main Screen...
All left to do is review and Save
You can also add Shortcuts and make changes to the registry...
Now to Save...Choose location and SAVE!

Looks like I've got my weekend project all lined up now
