How to customize SK1 on Home screen - Touch 3G General

I have read the how to's, but my Manila 2D is different -
My HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D/Home only has entries for the SK2 - the righthand key. I have changed it successfully, now I would like to change the other key SK1.
Where do I find it? Or is it 'hardwired'?
I haven't tried the Manila2D Customiser because I am not sure if it would do this either if the key is not there.

Yes, you can use M2DC. It adds new keys.
Or add yourself manually. examples here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3399346&postcount=37
you can just add new parameters.

Thanks guys, I will try the customiser.

The Customiser worked OK.

UPDATED:Custom Manila Theme

I've been searching for awhile for the registry entry that controls the color of the selection highlight when you scroll thru different selections. An example would be when you scroll you start menu or contact and such.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
EDIT: Here is a link to most (all) of the registry entries for theme colors
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WindowsMobile5Colors
Scroll down for Custom Manila cab file
I did this a long time ago with SKTools, but im sorry because dont know the registry key for this.
Thanks for the reply. I've since then managed to find it and was actually looking at the right key all along but for some odd reason my phone would not respond to that particular key change. Finally I decided to cab up the theme and install it with my registry edits and it worked great Now I have a Manila theme without the ugly green highlight. It's grey instead
Bump due to updated info...

You can get those from the HTC Home Customizer app but I will zip them up for you and attach them to this post.

thanks! I don't think they came with the version of HHC I have.
lllboredlll: may i ask what font you are using, and more importantly, how you were able to make the start menu font non-bold?

I'm pretty sure you download it within HHC. That's how I get it now even though I have the file on my PC. Are you running HHCv10final?

I extracted an OEM from PPCGeeks OEM package and tweaked it. The font setup is the same as it was in the manila theme pack but I changed the color.
Other than that, here's a link to the thread that explains some font changes.

Not sure what I have. I'm almost positive it's final though since it's in the PPCGeeks kitchen. But thanks for posting it! It wasn't there.

That one is the final version. If you goto the download tab, click connect to download server. Once connected select Icons from the drop down menu then scroll down. It's right under all of the baseball sets.

Thanks, but either it was a misunderstanding, or it doesn't work for my PAQ-Rom.
The windows - start button behaves like bevore, just the the TF3D app-page appears new.

In addition to these teaks?
(They were originally postet above, but are missing now due to the problems on the biard last night.)
To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
To show favorites programs page on manila:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000
I installed tsowens icons and lost the rhodium start menu. I have searched through the registry and tried different tweaks all to no avail. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

[Manila] More Buttons in Program tab

Is there a way to get more Buttons in the Program tab?
I've tryed to add more button folders in registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
But the result is,
there are more buttons, but You can't use them
so is there something else I have to change?
Edit:
Added a Screenshot,
-> thats What I got.
but I can't add programs to the last 3 lines.
Use Manilla 2D Customizer (M2DC)

Not just a little bit I will take a look there
Wondering
I added the registry entries to allow for more, this all seemed to work, clicked on a button to add the appropriate new link, comes back, no icon. I go into Diamond TF3D Config and can see that the entries are in there, but TFlow3D wont action or show the icons - very confusing, there must be something we are missing and my Swiss German is sadly lacking - any ideas?

THats correct.
There should be a registry keysomewhere but cant find it .
I am running Duttys 6.5 rom R6, and I changed the left soft key to comm manager and right soft key to Calculator, and I did this using steps 14.4 and 14.5 in HD Tweak.
Which are titled Home Left softkey and Home Right softkey.
MOD EDIT
I've changed and deleted a couple of posts to make easier reading

Hi! Left a software the button on a homepage
i want to change to Telephone button. How do i it ?

If 2018/2016 does not work for you, try my 2016/2017/2018 hybrid (link inside)

Here is my hybrid. It works but the menu on the hometab does not. If you are like me and can't get 2018 working, this will fix it.
Why am I sharing? Cuz I'm a nice guy

What do you mean the menu on the Home tab? That's a major problem my friend.
If you are talking about the main home menu button how are people going to get to Co0lies Home Tab settings Etc.
I would not call this a working set of packages.

This package is better than NO PACKAGE at all. Nothing else would run on my ROM except this combo. 2018 Core with 2017/2016 tabs works on my Rhodium Euro based ROM. If you want to share your WORKING package, please do. I can update the first post.
I was talking to another chef, and it seems the menu button not working is related to other EXT (apparently).

Menu in Home tab not working is due to the number of quicklink slots declared incorrectly. HTC programmers are a bunch of weirdo where their coding is a total mess.
For 2018, the Core package has a registry entry setting the quicklink slots to 16. However some part of the Home package have the number hardcoded. So if you change the number in registry, the menu would not work.
Btw, if you install CHT, you'll have no Menu problem because Co0kie takes care of this.

I am aware that CHT fixes the menu issue. Does anyone have any other solution though? Editing the registry will accomlish this? Thanks!

If you use OBEO's version, you must set,
[HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila]
HomeShortcutNum = 0x0c
For other version,
[HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila]
HomeShortcutNum = 0x09

That did not fix my home screen
My quicklinks are uneditable and my Menu softkey still does not work.
Any other ideas? Thanks

Btw, if you are mixing the Home package files from multiple builds, that would cause the problem you are having now too. As I said earlier, HTC hard coded some part of the code (across multiple files) for the slots number, thus causing the said problem.

So there is no solution other than using 2018 home tab or CHT?
CHT is too slow to be an option and 2018 breaks landscape.
This sucks.
