hi i have an idea for a new clock for s2u2 but have no idea how to make it work
its a binary clock, its a bit tricky to view but geeks will apreciate it there is a pic below to show you how it works
Its easy to make it work.
Just name it cc.png or .bmp and place it in \Program Files\s2u2\GFX\ClockA.
Soft reset might be required,
And you might need to choose a diffrent clock in the s2u2 settings
yeah but its animated differently to a normal digital or analog clock although i might be able to do something
and its gonna be tricky anyway since for eleven u actually need 11 not two ones

For eleven you do need 2 ones in this case, because this looks like a "easy" bin. clock
I would be even nicer if you could make it like a horizontal clock
one that has three horizontal dotted lines, so 18:10:05 would look like:
_xooxo 18<hours>
ooxoxo 10<min>
oooxox 05<sec>
It's harder to read because you have to count to 59 instead of 9
if you need a picture, I got one on my desk
cool ive nver thought of that before. ideally it could work either way. that pic would be cool
has anyone got any ideas on this
there are some more pictures below to help anyone interested
Here is a quick & dirty Binary Clock use as you wish.
Set these files in \Program Files\SU2U\Clock
I included the AM PM images as well. If you don't like the way it spaces it out just delete or rename them in the folder so they don't display...
Enjoy!

Not a problem see my above post and you'll see why when you look at the Screen caps, It doesn't look too centered sadly but unless there is away to remove the AM/PM it wont ever be centered prefectly ... Doesn't look to bad even with my really odd BG
Just disable the top curtain.

AND IVE GOT A PROBLEM UNDER S2U2 SETTINGS I CAN ONLY HAVE HH.MM
OR H.MM.TT

cheers sorted i was trying to edit it using the pc and it didnt like it. so i used total commander instead
i have renamed the binary pngs to correspond with manilla 2d but when i apply them they look like this:
Does anyone have enough know how with manilla to be able to tell me how to get it to show up as a "digital clock" should so it will be spaced properly?
I have uploaded the renamed picture below if you want to them
nevermind i got it
posted it in m2d skin thread
Here is the post
I'm working on modifying the sprint theme but have run into a couple of problems.
Firstly I no longer have network name, after getting rid of Sprint logo.
Secondly semi transparent curtains no longer work, they're either solid or not there at all.
Lastly can not change the select colour from the orange/yellow default built in colour. I've explored the tsk file, and explored the _setup.xml file inside but can not make changes, I think I have identified the values for the select colour, but for the life of me can not work out how to edit it even if I knew what the values of other colours are.
Does anyone know how to fix these things.
I've been all the way through the manila files and managed to change everything else but these.
Any help would be good thanks.
OK made a little progress can get the home screen to use semi-transparent curtains, but all other tabs have only solid curtains or no curtains, is there a manila file I'm missing and havent changed, or mistakenly changed?
Screenshots soon.
I am curious if this would be possible. I doubt that it is, otherwise someone would have likely done this by now, but is it possible to have the windows taskbar (as well as the bar with the softkeys on the bottom) be clear so that you can see the full image in TF3D, with the icons and writing over top of it just like the slider and icons?
I understand that even if this is possible, it could run in to a few problems once you are no longer in TF3D, because from what i understand you can't have the taskbar be different colours depending on what the phone is doing.
Anyways, is it possible, yay or nay?
Nay.
Yay, with wisbar advance.
can??? haw?
Thanks kraize,I have never used wisbar advance, can you actually make it clear or would I have to skin it with the photo?

Not sure about that one. I know that one person skinned it with a photo to make it look clear. I know you can make it very close using transparency. But don't know if it'd be completely clear.
It is possible, there is a program out there called "PMC TodayShrink", im sorry i don't have a link for it, i used it on my kaiser to see the full today screen ( i had a nice rl today theme) but with the kaiser i had enough buttons to simulate the hidden softkeys, but with the diamond this will be something else......
Edit: i think i misunderstood you here, did you mean transparent?
Yeah, transparent. I don't want to remove the taskbar and softkeys, i just want to make the black bars transparent or rather, completely remove any colour so that it just looks like the softkey writing is on the background picture. Exactly like with the no curtains .cab, where the date and the service provider writing now just looks like it is on the background picture.
And i checked out wisbar advance 3.0 and that could potentially work by just creating a skin for it that will just continue the background picture, but it also changes / adds a lot that i don't want.
Bumping this thread....Is it now possible to make the black bars that house the taskbar and softkeys transparent when using TF3D2?
A transparent bar would be awesome, but I realize this isn't as simple.
What I would like to know is how to change the colour of the bars?
I know is is possible, because I've seen WM6.1 themes that has the taskbar coloured.
I would just like to make the bar something a little more exciting than plain black.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found a little program here on XDA that changes the taskbar colour along with some text colours, as well. Really awesome program! It can be found here.

There are a bizillion ways to accomplish this... editors galore... but the simplest way IMO is to use a .tsk file. They're all over, but I have collected several - both shiny bars and flat matte. I've posted my screen to show one shade of purple (I have two)... Just apply your TF3D theme and choose a complimentary tsk file... It will change all of the windows colors (ie, menus, scrollbars, taskbars, etc.), but not those of TF3D. It is my experience that those colors remain true to the theme. However, there are several "focus" cabs around that will change the TF3D selected items colors.
I have several colors in both styles (and a few focus colors)... if there is something in particular you have in mind, let me know and I'll upload it if I have it.

Thanks a lot for the help offer, I must probably have just found the solution when you replied.
Just about anything concerning manila I already have covered and have an extensively modified theme for manila, I'm just waiting for a particular slider that will complete my TF3D theme. Slider
A coloured taskbar was the next step and now I have that covered, as well :-D
I've attached a screenie of my today screen. The clock I made myself; it was supposed to look like carbon, but I failed, sadly. I like your clock, though, but it won't fit with my theme.
Thanks again. I appreciate it a lot and just might call on your help one day :-D
EDIT: Okay, seems I needed your help earlier than I expected :-D
How did you get your "start" text to show "Maureen"? I followed the steps posted at PPCGeeks by Tsowen (don't have the link with me now), but I can't find the string they're referring to in my shellres.192.dll :/
Oh, and how did you get the "alarm" text to go away, as well? As you can see, mine still shows "6:00 AM" for my alarm and I'm not sure which text to remove from the manila file to hide that, as well.

I modified the file "shellres.dll.0409.mui" to change the start text... string value 321, by following the same instructions to which you refer...

It's not gone... it's just gray. Not sure how it got that way, though. LOL If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Sorry I wasn't any more help. I seem to remember having to try, try again with the Start text, though. See if you have better luck using the file I've indicated above. Here are the instructions as I saved them:
Change Start Text
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

Your search has ended...
I found these searching around... the first zip contains two shades of purple shiny bars, the wm_purple contains flat bars. I am also attaching a purple WMP (the original, just purple) skin which matches 75769.tsk... portrait and landscape (PURPORIG.zip). Just unzip and copy the files into Windows (after you make a back up of the originals, of course).
I hope this helps... xoxo

Would be cool if you/someone could make a taskbar.tsk which is black gloss, the htc black is just total black so it's a bit ugly Also I need to ask, I can't seem to put my Diamond in portrait mode in WMP even tho I have a skin for it. What's wrong? :E

Have you tried opening WMP while already in landscape mode? I have a touch pro and mine won't go landscape until I slide out the keyboard. Do a search for apps that address the g sensor/accelerometer (I thnk...LOL).
Below is a cab for "glossy black bars"... I've never tried it. I also have a tsk file with shiny gray bars... might be a good contrast to your theme.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if it's possible to remove the top bar from manila 2d (aka TouchFlo) which shows the network information? In my opinion, it's just a waste of screen space and looks bad.
I know you can remove the network information with M2DC but I was wondering if anybody knew how to actually remove the top bar itself.
Cheers,
Jennan
Yeap, this is possible.....use attached transparent topbar. Put it in windows folder and relace original (with total commander). First copy original to another file in case you want to go back.
Thanks Frank, you're really helpful man
Appreciate it, worked like a charm
Thanks a lot for that too!!
Any chance to change the bottom bar also?
Have tried a lot of things but you can not remove or replace by a transparent version.....seems hard-coded in Manila.
Though you can change the color (mine is black). Or the trick I see in some themes is that you make an exact copy of the theme as is behind bottom bar and copy to windows so that it appears it is gone. But in actual fact is still there. If your theme is complex or change it frequently will be more difficult/more work. But it can be done.
Let us know how the result.....
Thanks so much ;]
I don't understand why you would use Total Commander for this though :/ I just did it with File Explorer and it worked too
It kind of supprised me I could just replace it from with file explorer; Aren't these images stored in the ROM? Then why can I replace them with File Explorer?
this is great. i was just complaining to the wife about how unsightly that top bar was.
thanks very much
Seems a bit wasteful to make a whole new thread for this - does anybody know how to replace the icons in TouchFlo? I've just downloaded a bunch of SenseUI icons in PNG format and want to replace the cartoony manila 2d ones.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have no idea what aspect you hope to change. You really didn't describe it enough to narrow it down. Nor did you draw an arrow or something on your screen shot to point out what you are alluding to.
Also, not every nuance or sub feature on a phone will be in the phone settings. If Samsung tried ro do that, we'd have thousands of settings to wade through.
Anyway, the home screen page animation is called a transition effect. See if you like one of the alternates. Or do a search to see if a Themer has made some new ones more to your taste.

I think he's talking about the glowing over scroll effect where it bounces with a blue glow when you reach the end of a page. I think its baked into android itself but I could be wrong.
Tapped It!
If so, good luck to him. There is no option to disable that relected light effect. And it could take a lot of searching through decompiled packages to even locate, never mind change it.

Yes you're right. It will no doubt be buried deep inside the SystemUI.apk (pretty sure I saw the PNGs for it on an earlier android version when unpacking systemui), which requires that you're rooted and that you know what the hell you're doing. If you do decide to mess around with SystemUI then ALWAYS KEEP A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL!
The other problem is that I'm not sure Kitkat SystemUI.apk can be (easily) unpacked yet, let alone re-packed, due the the different Framework-res layout which changed drastically in the 4.4 kitkat update thus rendering programs like apktool useless. I might be wrong, they might have fixed it by now.
I guess if you're not changing any code in the systemui.apk you could always just try unzipping it using 7zip, search for the overscroll highlight png (probably in res folder) and replace it with a blank/transparent png of the same size/dimensions by dragging the new blank png into the ORIGINAL, "packed" systemui.apk opened up in 7zip.
Unless the PNG in question is 9-patched in which case you're screwed.....
....or just learn about 9 patching! Yay fun!
Agh confusing.

Might not even be an image. Watching the effect, the .png may only establish the page edge. The actual "scrolling" light reflection is a very simple effect e.g. fixed intensity, width, area on one axis. So it could be efficently rendered as a simplistic recursive shading equation if the programmer felt like doing it that way.

You're probably right as the last SystemUI I unpacked was Jellybean but even since then things have moved on leaps and bounds. But, the overscroll highlight PNGs definitely used to reside in SystemUI in earlier android versions.
I don't however doubt what you're saying, as the android Status Bar used to be made up of PNGs in systemui, that all changed in ICS and is now just lines of code.
Things used to be so easy to muck around with.
Overscroll PNGs are and always have been in framework res. You can change the color simply by replacing the 2 PNGs. Overscroll glow and overscroll edge. No decompiling needed. As mentioned above just drag and drop with 7zip. Dragging transparent versions in would effectively disable the effect

Nice one, sorry it's been a while since I've ventured into the depths of framework-res and systemui apks. Knew I'd seen them somewhere.
