Title says it..
I have Manila 2.1 and I don't see the option to change the background for the start menu and lockscreen anywhere.
I know it's possible under settings/all settings/today - select - Use this as background: browse.. but it won't list any pictures. Only certain resolutions? Or file type?
Maybe there's a registry key?
Thanks.

Should be under settings tab in manila under personalize.
Nope, that's a manila 2.5 feature.
Its been awhile.
Check out Auto Wallpaper Changer.
Changes Lock screen, S2U2 and Home.

Hi.
open up start menu,and find "pictures & videos", (not "album"). open that and find the pic u want as the background. open the picture and select menu(bottom right) and choose "set as today background",and accept.this should change the background on the start menu and the lock screen background....well that is how i do it. Hope it helps.

Hi there,
is there any way to force Manila to update the links shown in the programs tab / new startmenu?
I'd like to change them by registry, but then I need to restart Manila, what is not very smart.
So, does anybody know of a commandlinearg for manila.exe to do this?
Like manila.exe --updateprogramspage <--this does not work...
Thanks in advance.
BTW: If somebody feels this isn't the right place for such a post, feel free to move it. I already tried Q&A but no response.
first option:
go to the "setting tab" on the home screen click "customise tabs" and rearange any tab order. click done and manila will restart its self.
Second option:
Goto all settings in the personal tab click today icon then in items tab (bottom), uncheck tf3d then click ok. go back into the today settings and check tf3d again, click ok and it will restart its self.
hope this worls out for you. Ive tried this tweek and it works greate. unlimited number of icons in the manila programs launcher only shame is after the first 30, you have to edit the rest using registry entries.
Thank you for the tip,
I'm using TFDetacher, so I'm able to restart Manila very easy.
But thats the problem, I don't want to restart it.
I want to manipulate the Start menu Items in runtime.

I activate and desactivate TF3D with a mortscript, whitch write a regkey and refresh the todayscreen
Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks
You can use a program called IconChanger, it can place the icons where you want in the gridlist. Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080.
When you open the program you just press MENU and Sort Current Items or something like that. Now you will see a list with all the names right, the first 3 is the first line in the startmenu and then the 3 following is the 2nd line and so on.
Thank you for your reply. But can you change the wallpaper for the honeycomb as well?
Yes you can, go to settings/today and disable TF3D, then go to pictures & videos (or album, I'm not sure which one) and find the wallpaper you want, tap and hold it till you get a list, chose "use this wallpaper as background" or something like that, set the transperency to 0% and you're ready to go.
And btw, go to settings and re-enable TF3D of course
In the later versions of WM, you can actually drag and drop the start menu icons around without the need of a 3rd party app.
Most WM6.5.1 roms will support this but WM6.5 does not.

I don't find any option to do so, but since I selected a custom wallpaper, the home screen is extremely slow. How do I revert to default?
Thanks

Go to settings tab > Personalize > Home tab wallpaper and then select weather wallpaper for default
or
Go to settings tab > Personalize > Lock screen wallpaper and it will ask you if you want to use default
Thank you, but I have already tried this. If I click on "Weather wallpaper" I am taken to a select image dialog, exactly as if I had clicked on "Animated wallpaper". Should I think of a bug in the ROM (Xannytech)?

Actually I never noticed that before but you can still restore default by clicking on Weather wallpaper > albums > my device > my wallpapers and default wallpaper should be one of these
Ciao
I have the same problem...
And since I've used HD Wall to change the wallpapers on all of the tabs, I can't use your suggested solution to get back to the "default" wallpaper, which is no longer the regular default wallpaper but the one I made with HD Wall!
Any other ideas?
for me, i had to clear the values stored in the CachedBackgroundPath and HomeBackgroundPath registry entries, both of which are located under the key HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila. once cleared, i soft reset my device and the default wallpapers appeared again. hopefully this isn't the only/best method.

Thank you so much!
Eventhough this is not the easiest method, atleast it's a solution!

TY, saved my day
Another way - the default wallpapers are stored in \Windows and are named stwater_480_800 and stwater_800_480 ( for landscape). You can copy the first one to your Wallpapers folder and select it there.

for example.. i would like to have footprints on one of my quicklinks.. i do not want it as its own individual tab thing.. so i tried to connect it to a quick link.. but i noticed there isn't a shortcut for it.. so do i have to make my own? is it as simple as a registry hack?? any tips anyone?

1. You must enable "Footprints" in your "Home screen tab" (Home -> menu -> Personalize home screen tab)
2. You can now put a "Footprints" as your quick link adding by touching the empty quick link and go to "programs"
3. After you add it on quick link you can again go to: Home -> menu -> Personalize home screen tab and then remove "footprints" from "Personalize home screen tab")
4. Go back to HOME and VOILA...footprints are on quick link BUT not on "Home screen tab"
wow... nicely done mate...
ahh... but it now doesn't open up once i remove the individual tab.....
i wonder why that is?? anyone else wanna take a jab at it??
hmmm...i see now...
dunno where is the problem...with tweeter is the same problem...
yea... shoot.. it was close though... great effort... but i recall reading somewhere about people "creating" shortcuts via registry edits... is there a way to do this??
Hi,
Is there any way to change the bottom left Windows Icon shortcut. Its default is the same as the middle hardkey to call the application folders. I want to change to another application.
thanks

Since you're on an EnergyROM, you have AMeBa (X-Button Settings) pre-installed.
Go to Start > Tools > X-Button Settings > there's an option there (I think it's the first page) that has things to do for the Start Button. Change that option to "Run App" and select an application you want to run when pressing that button.
It works . Thanks a lot.
