[THE][Update 10.10.08] Icon Theme's (Kids, Comics, Blueish)

After many other's I have also created some Icon Dock only theme's.
Special thanks to the developers of the Manila Editor tool. THANX !!!!
Theme's:
{
"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"
}
All these theme's also include a icon for the calendar, but since I don't use it they are not visible in the previews.
Installation instructions:
- Disable TFL3D
- Install .cab file
- Enable TFL3D
After installing the theme will be visible in the Add/Remove programs on your Diamond.
When you want the original icons back follow the next steps:
- Disable TFL3D
- Remove the program from the Add/Remove programs
- Enable TFL3D
Warning:
If you want to try all theme's always uninstall before installing new theme else you might not be able to get the original HTC icons back.
Transparent slider:
I have created three transparent sliders special thanks to pamas and NisseDILLIGAF.
The first one is a cab of their original posts.
The second one solves a problem I encountered on my Diamond. I have installed the Call History tab on my Diamond and after installing the transparent slider my TF3D would not start any longer. NisseDILLIGAF found out which file to edit to solve this problem so I did. The only disadvantage is the call History tab will no longer show the number of missed calls on the tabbed menu.
The third one has the Call History and communication manager in it. Thank you uniqueboy for giving me the links to this tab.
The installation works the same as the icon themes.
Choose your cab with or without the call history in it.
If you all like them I might be adding more later.

can you make it in transparent background and slide ?
Just like this :

You don't need a cab for that, just uninstall and the original Icons will come back again.

Sorry it took me a little longer than expected. In the first post I have added two new cab files to make the menu transparent. Hope this works for you.

Just thought you might like to know that your transparent slider, although very nice makes the com manager tab if enabled disappear. Everyting else fine.

That is not the intention. I haven't got that tab installated this is why I have not noticed it. Where can I find an installation for that tab, maybe I can fix it for this tab as well.

we need more icons

You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432528, but I use the one in this theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428033 It is very useful!
A nice icon for it would be nice as well!!!
Edit: Still dreaming: How hard would it be to make a circular/oval transparent slider, I think that would be very popular.

At the first page you can find a new cab with the comm manager included. The icon for this comm manager is the same as the icon for programs a own icon can only be get by editing a mode9 file, at this moment there are only 2 people who know how to do this. Hopefully later I can give it an own icon.
Hope this is what you where looking for.

Ahh, the dreaded mode9, Mun_rus and D_Man, I just want a transpaerent slider that works with any and all tabs. Pamas's was the first i think and then I found myself with more tabs and a dilemma, patience will be rewarded, I get the feeling mode9 files will soon crumble before the onslaught of XDA developers!!
Anyway, I love your icons and thanks a lot for your excellent hard work. I will try it now.

Hi been pissing about all night, finally got the chance to test your new slider, it works great for com manager but the calendar disappeared this time, but I get the feeling that it is almost there. The bug of incorrect com manager label was there but that is quite liveable with, so in all great work and real progress, thank you for a good effort. I am looking forward to the perfect solution I know must be there. Transparent sliders rule! a couple of different shaped ones and you are the king!

you talking about the bottom curtain or the home tab visible on the home page???
1 if its the home tab just tab the the pop up tab and it goes away
2 if its the bottom curtain...i dont have that problem i installed no curtains cab before this app.

Ok this screwed up manila on my HD. I'm on Duttys R9 by the way. All I can see after installing is the word Title in the middle after installation. No manila tabs and all. Might have to hard reset

Hi
Really nice app, can I ask how I can make the slider stay on screen for just a few seconds longer - it all happens just too quick - is there a reg key I can tweak?
regards
jpw

@rotastrain,
would it be possible to know how I can get you Manila Tabs? the size seems to be perfect.

Hey
good job as usual although this one didnt quite work for me...
wasnt sure if this is supposed to work with HD's stock manila or not so I gave it a try anyway.
it might have created some kind of conflict with mUns background 4 all tabs, since after uninstalling this I had to reinstall that one in order to have my background restored.
Btw where can I get that clock/skin in your pic it looks cool.

working flawlessly on my TF3D v2.1.38658.2 Dutty's and no bugs found so far
but there's no time out in between, Slider tab disappear too fast.
plus, i prefer to use original (rectangle buttom) instead of your circle one.
great work, rotastrain (i'm still waiting for your Omnia like vertical slider )

Ok
so in next version i am going to do this
1>make i stay for longer(i will giv the user the option to do this in the registry_)
2>change graphic to default one
IF THIS APP DIDNT WORK FOR U ON SOME ROM JUST UNINSTALL IT AND POST HERE YOUR FILE NAMED 5C9AA261_MANILA FROM YOUR WINDOWS FOLDER.
IT WILL TAKE ME LESS THAN 20 SECONDS TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE!

Wrong way round
Hi there, thanks for this. The graphics looks really ace. Just one question though. I have it installed and it seems as though it is the big icons that are in the back ground and when the slider moves over them they get smaller (I thought the purpose of the slider was to zoom in on the icons). Thought I would point this out incase it was unintentional. Or it could be something on my phone doing the wrong thing.

I think that is how it works too...not sure...on the other tabs like in contacts they seem to stay the same size.
I used HDWall to create it and all the images were the same size for both large and small icons and just had HDwall resize it.
I thought the icons stayed the same size and the large ones appeared in the middle of the screen. It is hard to see the tab with your finger on them when you are sliding so I am guessing the larger ones are suppose to be in middle of screen.
Will look into it though.

thank you very much, good input

Sorry I am not a graphic artist...just a low lever modder The icons were already like that in the ROM and all I did was use HDWall to make slider.

Update again
I updated the files once again. In the current slider the icons go from big to small as you slide in the new version it is more like the OEM. It was pointed out earlier in the thread and just "fixed" it.

Thank you so much.. just installed on my Tmo TP2 and they look AWESOME. Great work and thx for sharing.

I just want to thank you verry much At0mAng.
It work perfect and looks perfect on my dutch Pro II...

** in case you all are wondering how to take screen caps..theres 1 of 3 ways:
1. sktools - download it, it has a screen cap feature built in.
2. screen capture software for smartphones.
3. mymobiler software.
ive added some cabs below.

Nothing special, but I haven't had the chance to put on other wallpapers or really screw with the titanium panels.
I like how you put the main panel first, though. I'm going to have to try that when I get a minute.

i say easier and more effective because its a quick upload from device and or pc to the site..and the image is hosted FOREVER..like ive never seen an image no longer available at tiny pic..i posted stuff a couple of years back on here and still u can see the image..lol
to upload pics here on xda :
when replying or posting a comment click on the image button in the taskbar of the comment box and follow the onscreen instructions. its actually quite easy once u figure it out.

I haven't done a lot of modifying. I removed a lot of unnecessary panels, reordered the rest, and changed the titanium panel with a design by roloracer and his program.
While I like the transparent top bar, I find the solid black lower bar less distracting when using other programs. I also like the simple white phone icons over roloracers colored ones.
The wallpaper came from the thread in excalibur.
I'd like to change the titanium font to Segoe or maybe Opera. I'd also like to change the clock icon to something more antique. It would be awesome if the clock could reflect the time on the panel instead of being static.

how did you change the color of the panel? did you use Titanium File Changing ?

I was able to make the calendar background transparent in 1.7.1 though the same cab does not work in 1.8 so I am looking for a new one. The music widget is new so I am in need of making the area noted transparent. I dislike the look of most padding around aspects of the UI, it just clutters things.
I am still of the opinion that someone could create an app that would toggle UI transparencies that would be hugely popular. Something like that would fit well in CHT as well.
Thank you for your time.

I think that CHT 1.8 is just still so new that nobody has yet developed compatible transparency tweaks, I've been waiting until some are released before I upgrade from 1.7.1

Look for [star]'s [CAB][VGA|WVGA] Transparent Manila {All Versions+Cookie Home Tab}. It's compatible with CHT 1.8. Using that v2 currently on CHT 1.8.

X2. DINIK is also working on some transparent .cabs compatible with cht 1.8. keeping an eye on his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678674&page=24

Thank you guys. I will try out the fixes noted a little later tonight. [star]'s cab looks really promising.
UPDATE: [star]'s cab didn't make anything new transparent. Still looking but like sirphunkee noted, it will probably take some time.

POW!! Ok now we're talking! Thanks Paten, I hadn't seen that get added there!
So now what I'm waiting for is an anastasia skin for the new music widget, I'm hoping Dinik will have a new CHT theme for 1.8

Here's my current setup using some of these transparencies.

Works amazing. I was confounded on how I missed this as I did look but then noticed it was added after I had looked. This solved my remaining transparency issues.
I had a hell of a time with [star]'s transparencies cab though. After uninstalling it because it didn't do anything significant, some of the transparencies that I had already applied no longer functioned. In most cases uninstalling the old cabs and reinstalling them did the trick. [star]'s cab also seems to have messed up my home screen menu. The items in the menu all have "IDS_" before them and are in all caps which does not preclude functionality though is ugly and annoying. A couple other menus have changed in similar ways. Though this cab may have been hugely helpful for some people it lead me to almost a dozen restarts and may lead to another hard reset if I can't get my menus sorted out.

Run the CHT Language Pack. It will fix that.

Worked like a charm. What would I do without you guys (gals?)?
