Okay, I've used MaxTTm before and never had issues with it before, but for some reason, I'm getting a strange error. I'm trying to change the top taskbar to a solid or wallpapered background, and it gives the error (Error, an unexpected error has occurred in MaxTTM) could not find file \Windows\HomeBackground.img
So, I tried different versions of MaxTTM and got the same result. Other parts of the program function properly, it's just when I change the top taskbar image and bottom softbar. Could it be the rom I'm using (Josh's Perfect Black 1.7)??? Maybe I could just copy someone else's homebackground.img file into my windows directory and that would work? Any suggestions?
Try setting a wallpaper in the standard manila settings first. homebackground.img is just a renamed jpeg file that is made from whatever wallpaper you chose, so if it's missing it's probably because you haven't set one yet. This is a standard wallpaper, not HDWall or manila files, just a jpeg set in the settings>personalize tab. Can't guarantee that's the fix but it's worth a try...

millski, that worked perfectly. I've been using my own cab creator to make my own backgrounds, and I guess since I was using that, I didn't have a homebackground.img. I just set a new one, and now MaxTTM works perfectly. Thanks a million man. It's been driving me nuts all morning...

I have seen various posts about changing paths and icons in the cube, but what i would like to know is . Is there a way of having it match your today screen instead of charcoal colour. Imagine having your theme Guava bubbles and your cube reflecting the same.Would be nice if someone could come up with a way
I Think you've juste to edit and chnge each color of uour *.png installed in your Windows directory or HTCHome directory
Just copy them to your Windows Desktop to view which one you have to edit
and then replace them
The only problem is that the animations themselfs (when the cube is actualy moving) are hardcoded. It shows when you have some different icons on the cube. When rotating, the old icons appear on the locations you had new ones
I think someone was trying to edit the animation as well.
The animation is actually a sort of movie thing so it uses less resources. Its hard to change it, since no one knows the format But someone is editting it so it moves different I thought.
The animation is formed of multiple ".brn" files. There is an application to transform brn to bmp but nothing to merge from bmp to brn so for the moment no color edition is posible during the animation.
thanks for all the info people. much appreciated. i guess with time this situation will change but for now will keep default. cant see no point in changing something if its gonna use defaults as soon as you rotate.

so it would be at least possible to "debrand" a branded cube when I take the .brn files of an unbranded Touch?

Try to overwrite all the *.brn files in \windows with the attached original HTC ones and your cube should be debranded - but you have the icons from HTC and the links "behind" the icons from your provider.
It is possible that they are different.
If you want to get back simply delete all those files and your original ROM files should come back instead.
But to be save backup all your*.brn files before
I think it should also be possible to overwrite the hh_launcher*.png icons.
Simply disable the HTC Home element in your today screen settings before overwriting these files. Should work in my opinion
Where are the rest of the animation BRNs

Hey, I downloaded your zip file, but it was missing several animation brns. I'm looking for the following in the same original HTC format.
A2.brn, A4.brn, B2.brn, B4.brn, C2.brn, C4.brn
Thanks!
Or,....
You just take these "clean" files and have no icons on the rotating cube .
I'm not in a mood of sorting them out for you just download and take a look wich ones you need
Greetz,
Hi everyone,
This is my first ever cab so I thought I'd share it with you all.
I love the TF3D interface but my Rhodium came shipped with a black theme with green highlights. Green has never been one of my favourite colours so I decided to change it to blue.
I dug through all the manilla files & windows images and replaced every green image I could find with a blue one.
I'm not too sure how if this will work on other devices... I would assume the manila files won't be a problem on any device running TF3D but I'm not too sure about windows image files... Please use at your own discretion
Feel free to let me know if I missed any
My thanks to chainfire for CFC GUI - this application made my life so much easier
Please Note:
The images for the green colour scheme are contained in both Manila and the Windows directory images.
If you install the manila cab only, you'll notice many elements are still green, like the On/Off selector on the Communications Tab and the highlights in the dialer.
I'm not too sure why it was developed this way, but I have decided to split my cab up for those of you who don't wish to overwrite your Windows files.
I've also included a cab for the stock windows files in case you want to revert to the stock theme. You can revert the manila files by simply uninstalling that cab.
Enjoy
mmm, nice, I'm install it, but tab slider is in top of the active icon.
in Opera doesn't work, as is as, explorer, task bar, an all windows scheme, but is nice... good job!

This theme just replaces image files. The highlights in explorer etc can be changed by using Max TTM as these are not images but a system setting
I would include this is the theme but I don't how how...
Thanks for the compliment though, I'm glad you like it

I have the same issue and I was disappointed. But when I restore the backup (without hard reset) I did just before testing, icons appears and blue modifications are kept ! See image below :

Some of the changes remain after uninstall because some are images from the Windows directory and not in manilla files... I had a similar problem when installing another colour scheme theme from the forum. I will upload a cab tonight with the default files which should take you back to the green scheme.
I'm not too sure what you guys mean when you say "tab slider is in top of the active icon"... perhaps it's an issue with your existing custom theme. I installed this on my stock manilla theme and all works fine. Can you post a screenshot of this?
All I've done is open up the image files and changed the colours. There's no other configurations in my cab, just existing file replacements
I've uploaded the stock Windows files - check post #1
I also split up the theme cab into two parts, Manila files & Windows files so you can choose not to replace your Windows files if you don't wish to
Tried this on my VZW Rhodium over my stock theme. Now my phone dialer won't work, I have giant green circles around every selected tab, and the radio button dots now have small "phone" images inside them. Phone is utterly useless, and will require a hard reset, since your cabs cannot be uninstalled, and I can't install the windows stock cab.
Epic fail, man.

You have a branded Rhodium so naturally this will be a problem.
A lot of other people, including myself, have installed this with no problems at all.
Please do some reading on what you can and cannot do on YOUR handset before flaming other member's contributions.
Thanks i love it. hope its work at my Omnia 2
Its installed sucessful at my device without error.
but i dont know how to change color scheme
Hi idrak3,
This theme/colour scheme is only available for Manila. Are you running a custom ROM on your Omnia with Touch Flo? If not, I'm afraid this won't work for you
Was bored at work, and started to mess around with some slider icons. Here is my first attempt...it's so easy to make them though. Not sure where I got the icons from, so can't say who to give the credit. I used HDWall to make the files though. It outputs the manila files, so all you have to do is unzip the file, and copy over into your windows directory over the original files.
Edit: Not really sure how to make a cab of this though. Anyone know how to?
Here's your slider icons cab...

Thanks man. how did you make the cab though? with hdwalls, i can make a cab to change the background pic, but the icons export as manila files.

Hey, I dig your slider icons, I wish more people put up cabs for small pieces of a UI like this. Unfortunately, when I installed the cab, the page I'm on still shows the original icon, and the rest are blown up too large and only partly visible on the bar. Any ideas on what is causing this? I'm using Valkyrie v5.1tr WM6.5.3 with a couple clock and curtain cabs on top of it. I'd rather not uninstall everything I have on there to test, so do you have any insight on the problem? My thought was that it may have something to do with the ROM version.

I didn't make the cab, so I'm not sure what's going on with it. I guess I would try to uninstall the cab, and then just dload the .zip file I made and copy it over to your windows directory. I'd make a backup of those manila files first though, just to make sure.

you can try to open the cab... you can see that it's all your files that are inside there... didn't change or modify any files... you can make cab installer via hdwall... just explore, it's there somewhere, just add the converted manila files in the cab creator

Hmm, I'll def have to do some searching around then. I'm pretty interested in making my own cabs. It seems there aren't that many cabs for slider icons or taskbar icons. There are some out there, and there are some really cool ones, but I'd like to start making some more available. It's the easiest way to customize your phone.
Nice slider icons !

Hey, I checked out the link in your sig, and your sliders are freaking cool man. How did you make them? What program?
A combination of MS Phicture Manager (part of MS Office) / Paint.NET (awesome FREE Photoshop type-app). CAB's made with QuickCAB
I have the process down to about 25 minutes per set now.
Hey all - anyone notice that even after HDwall tool is used for wallpapers, that your wallpaper is actually still somehow in very bad quality?
there's actually no difference between using HDwall and actually just pasting your wallpaper into the phone.
The only difference is that the top and bottom bar now uses your image with a registry edit.
Since I like to see fine lines and definitions on an image instead of fuzziness I was wondering where the image is translated and cached.
you can check the differences if you save a high quality image into 480x800 and then use it as a wallpaper with sense and then also choose the same wallpaper for the lock option.
you'll notice that wm6.5's proper wallpaper will show the image sharply, while it's dulled out in the skinned sense.
I found the registry keys that display the image, but I don't know if this is a limitation with sense and it's ability to render the image onto the background or is it just a shot of the image stored elsewhere. I would like to know though so I can do some registry changes to get that going.
You must have some problem, HDWall background should look perfectly good. Works fine here. Did you apply co0kie's hqwallpaper patch?

I applied the patch and the image will not come up with the image associated -- I ran the hdwall cab that was created without the patch, and I got a background.
Alright, so I think I've exhausted nearly all ideas for changing these icons. I can't seem to be able to change:
-Office Mobile folder icon or app icons
-Setting's cpl icon
-Any other settings icons
I've tried the reg entries as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664109
And I've manually replaced the .png's in the sys folders (base dpi etc) and that was a no go.
I guess I'm not sure what else I can do lol maybe I'm doing something incorrectly :/

changing icons can become a headache and most of the times being icons from CPL i must to do a cab for change registries, maybe it works for you runing the cab in the customization

Alright so I tried that, but the cab fails to install every time. Any ideas why?
ok lets talk this on the icons rearrangement thread, share your cab bud
