Touch pro theme help

Hi just a few questions really, I hope I'm not just repeating what some one else already asked.
1, Does anyone have a link to the clean virgin HTC touch pro theme file?
2, Is there a link to a theme or bitmap layout guide? [for creating new icons and textures so I can tell where they go...
3, Are the icons alpha compatible? And so they over lay well? Or is there any special rules to how Icons are overlayed in different areas of the menu.
4, in connection to question 1, is there a list somewhere with manila names and friendly names. or a corresponding layout guide along with that?
5, Is there any way to make an icon animated? Image sequence gif interpolation anything?
I'm a 3d artist and texture designer and I would really love to build a custom theme or two but i just need to know these few things.
If anyones got any links or guides please let me know.
All the best
Nutsy
Oh and Does anyone have any touch pro emulation software for PC? A sand box or some thing so I can test themes out without a phone.

2. Use Manila Editor to see the grafix... there is a small index of files in the wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Manila_Research

4. ... again... Manila Editor..
5. no animations...

I tried to read through. But i couldn't really find anything that answered all my questions.
Again thanks

Windows Vista Theme

Hi guys,
I'm trying to put together a Vista style theme for my HD. I've never made one before so I'm kind of learning as I go. Firsth things first, I'm currently missing a few icons for my tf3d tabs.
Does anyone know of a good Vista style icon for 'SMS', 'Stocks' & 'Weather'? I've posted the images I have for the other tabs below (all are .png 32x32px).
I think I can manage to sort these out into the relevant manilla files using manilla editor (though knowing me I'll some how mess it up!)
Next up I want to change the Start Button icon into the Vista one. I've read through the relevant thread over in the Diamond forum but didn't really get what I needed to to as far as creating the relevant .dll file was. I've attached another .png of the icon I want below as well.
Hopefully noone has yet made the type of theme I'm looking to create; if they have, please let me know because I'm reckoning they'll have done a far more professional job than me!

Newbie needs help "pimping" his diamond.

Good morning all.
Basically as the title says, I need help customizing my diamond. I've had it a while and am getting pretty bored of the same old TF3D home screen etc. I've looked over all your designs etc and they are pretty dam good.
I would like to customize mine but have absolutely no idea where to start, if any of you could give me an idea on where to start and what to install etc, that would be great.
Thanks to anyone who helps.

The search bar is ur bestest best friend. But to help out, any post with [THE] before it is theme-related, and [WALL] tends to be wallpapers. You can achieve virtually any look for your Diamond by combining different apps. Here's a good link to get you started:

Yes, there might be a possibility that you ned this program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
It may help installing the themes.

there ain't nothing to it
but to do it
if all goes wrong, you can still hard reset your device
and start over
i started with manila editor to create my own custom slider bar and icons
and dl-ed some dll's for the taskbar and used someone elses clock from a forum

I started with installing A.Z.T.O.R.
got myself Manilla
Downloaded some nice themes etc.
atm i am looking for a program wich makes it posible to give all tabs in TF3D a nice background instead of just the Today screen

Easiest way I found was to get yourself some .cabs, easy install and uninstall.
Almost idiot proof! (well I worked them)
They're dotted around everywhere on these forums, just look in clocks, customizing taskbar, etc. threads....oh, and remember to thank the creator.
I started that way and now i'm getting to grips with the editors. Step-by-step

Noob here needing help

Im new to this forum, never done much messing about with smart phones I get by with pcs.
I got an x1i yesterday so far ive got TF3D working installed a couple of panels, xperia tweak. I installed diamond tf3d config and i keep getting an unexpected error when i try to open it. Everything else im relatively happy with. But at the moment im unable to change backgrounds or themes, if someone has the time i would really appreciate an idiots guide to changing themes and backgrounds on tf3d. And i mean idiots guide, I have looked for a guide but the one i found kept getting a 404.
So from start to finish if you have the time or patience thanks, any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

Changing backgrounds in TF3d is easy, just go to the settings tab and hit wallpaper, then search for the pic you want on your phone and select it.
If your looking for wallpapers you can start with my thread HERE, these are all formated to fit TF3d nicely.
to get the background to show up in all tabs, I recommend using mun_rus's mUn background4allpages.cab There are also several applications out there for further modding your phones appearance, I suggest using the Forum's Search feature, your bound to find some useful info.

Thanks very much had tried 2 other background for all tabs apps, but none of them seemed to work. Thankyou
Does anyone have any idea why diamond config gets an error when starting?

or search for nixx-x1 post explaining how to create your own bckgrnd for all tabs

transparent search bar background

Hello everyone,
Im rather new here.
I did search about 50435940 times before making this post but I didn't find what I was looking for. I have the tmo stock 6.5 rom with I think manila 2.1, anyway I am looking for the background to be transparent behind the search bar on the internet tab.
Like whats on this thread /showthread.php?t=630402 (still not allowed to post links I guess ... ) only for tf3d 2.1. I looked through a little bit of code on the device as well, and I looked through that cab file in hopes of finding something similar to tweak, but I remain puzzled at how to do this... or where to find the correct file to get started. There seems to be ALOT of manila files.
Any help or pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks everyone.
