Panosha Icons?

I love TF3D icons from Panosha's 1.8 new ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405728
Any idea where to get them as a .cab or .theme file?
that theme looks sick... can't someone just simply copy the manilla files and .cab them or just .theme them???
man therei s such poor support for theme collection. they are scattered all over the place and it's like u gotta hunt for themes lol
hopefully they can all be centralized.
why not just flash the ROM.. thats if you have a diamond of course!
lol @ mightymike84 'u gotta hunt for themes'.
sometimes you have got to work for the things you want.
they are not always handed to you on a plate.
why dont you extract these files and make them into a
cab if you want them.
it is not difficult to do and theres plenty of advise on
here how to do it.
sure i can use manila editor or even cook my own rom (if i had the knowledge)
or I could simply PM Panosha and ask him to give me the file
but either way i would not need to make a post, would I ?
actually i flashes panosha ROM and that's why i like these icons, but the problem is that with so many roms "flashing" in this forum every day, what to do if i want to keep the icons (in a easy way...)
and with so many posts and threads about themes and icons (and not only for diamond) I wondered if someone knew where to download this icons collection, but thanks anyway

[THE REQ] White Theme

I must admit, I love the white theme, however there seems to be no fully working version out there.
I already tried to make my own white theme with the manila editor, but I got stuck half way...
Would it be possible if some of you Theme-Gurus would make a white theme?
All pics are readily available from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433050
Several items are not working with this theme, e.g.
- the clock
- calendar on the home tab
- change background
I thought it should be fairly easy to replace all pics of a working theme (e.g. the HTC stock theme) with the white pics from this theme?
Any help is realy appreciated!
Thanks!
Nobody
I would say it is you, its working fine here. But i not running it over the .theme..
If you want, i can upload the manila files?
/Danny
Yes please. I will give it a try. Maybe this will work for me...
Thank you danny_and_2!
Alright, I have made a cab installer, to install the theme..
And, I have made a rar with the manila files )
So, here you are:

[SKN] Complete "IPhone like" Icon and Sys dll Set by fRED (~75 Icons)

Hello again,
I've got a lot requests about the Icons I use on my System because of my "Real VGA WMP Manila Skin" Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3044289&postcount=25
So, I've modded nearly my complete System with custom made icons. I used ResHacked and siggner to apply the icons to the exe's and System Files. You can search the forum if you don't know how to do that.
I searched for a cooker who wants to work with me to bring out a ROM with a complete redone Iconset, but it looks like no ones want to do this with me.
So I decided to release my Icon "Standalone".
Since I don't know if it would be OK (because of Copyrights or things like that) to post here the complete modded Programs with the costom exes you have to integrate the icons by yourself.
If you would like an Icon for a special Program just post it here and I try to do one for you.
Thats enough for now...
Have fun... fRED
Here again some Screens
Some more...
Can you make these icons for the settings too , very nice!
Funny that you're asking. I just do these types of icons for Setting, so yes, I can do *g*
But you have to be patient for some days.
fRED
I think this is really amazing, do you have some installation instructions for the not so clever like myself to install?
Also, do you have or could you make icons for TomTom for MSN Messenger... Please?
This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Sean
I've made your requested icon for MSN/TomTom + Mobiler, because I use mobiler quite often now *g*
Update in first Post
fRED
Wow just beautiful! i really like these icons...
Thanks a lot!
How to install? Just copy to /windows?
No, it's not that easy! Look at my first post. You have to use ResHacker to apply the icons to each .exe.
I don't want to post the exe's directly cause there could be copyright problems. Also there would be problems with different languages and Version Numbers of the files/exes.
The dll's which are integrated in the pack are also German one's. If you want to apply them to an english version just extract the modded icons.
At the moment I don't want to explain how you use ResHacker to exchange icons. It's not that difficult. Just Google or search here in the forum.
Maybe anyone other wants to explain it here, than I add it to the first post.
regards,
fRED
ok thanks man i will try it
is it possible to use on Touch HD?
Of course, you have to replace the icons directly in the exes. So this works everywhere.
fRED
Thank you so much for doing that for me, your a credit to the forum matey. Keep up the good work, ill be keepin an eye on your future projects and this one, dont stop, create!
Sean Saunders
I really love those Icons.
Could you release them in .png format so they would be compatible with D-Mans Idiamond programme launcher?
Hi !
Nice work, but can you make a .cab for lazzy guys like me ?
Would be great !
Thanks
Great work, really great work at all! I'll use these icons in my own ROM now!
really great work!! thanks for the fantastic icons!
but there are just two things:
1) could you make the corners a little bit more round? they look a bit squared actually.
2) could you provide png files instead of ico, please?
Hi BlockbusterF!
First of all, I like your Iphone icons! I tried to cook a rom, and replace the original icons by your iphone style icons. If you interested in a ROM with your icons, we should make a cooperation. I make the rom, and you make the icons that we need for a fully iphone icon style rom.
I will use the new HTC 2.00 base rom for basic. First I need learn to cook a rom (now it's on ). I will get off some HTC application and put my own (maybe make some registry tweak too), and then make the iphone style.
If you interested in the idea, contact me!
PLEase say yes.....

i guess its my dream come true. i have been looking for such a ROM since the time iphone came in existance. it will be like best of both worlds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374571may be here you can get some idea, ( but for diamond i would really vouch for iDiamond project of Dman666, as it involves the manila files direstly.
Blockbuster, great work! I've actually gone through all the work to import them into my files and they look amazing. It's quite a lengthy process, took me nearly 2 hours to get 'em all done. On top of that I was having some difficulties with a few icons (namely the RSS Hub icon and tasks) but I've got it worked out.
I thought I'd make a contribution to the project, I've made an icon for the app Diamond SensorScroll in the style of yours. See attached zip.

Would like to make a custom manila 2.5 slider

Can someone help me, i would like to change my 2.5 slider icons so they would look like the rhodium stock ones. I've attached a file (i don't remember which member did this.. sorry) with them resized to work properly with SENSE 2.1 's calendar tab (because of the date shown on the calendar icon).
more specifically, i'd like to know how to extract the files from that cab, and where i can get a 2.5 slider cab so i can change the colored icons to those black and white ones, plus new ones for the footprint & the twitter tab
Actually i have good basics on program developping but i have never made an executable cab file.
Also, does anyone know how i can get rid of taskbar icons that were pre-installed on a rom that i use (uzeb french rom).. i think he used this package ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65911 ) (it's the same icons that i have on my device) but i would like to use the original 6.5 icons instead.
Thanks in advance!!!

To extract files from a .cab, I usually use cab2oem.exe, which will more or less achieve what you want.
To make .cab files, I use WinCE Cab Manager, which costs $99, though there are excellent free alternatives, such as QuickCab, if you don't need advanced features.
Lastly, to replace the icons, you need to use an untouched shellres.192.dll from a 6.5 ROM. Since I was working on a project involving such a file, I'll attach it (as a .cab installer). Just install it to your device, soft reset, and you're good to go. If the cab doesn't work, or it produces unexpected results, just uninstall it and post what happened here.
EDIT: It's attached. I had to zip it because the upload kept failing.
thanks a lot for your time dave, but i didn't see any images after extracting my cab, i just got 38 files without extentions (0cfe494a_manila, 59c727fc_manila,...) ---> 12 of them are 65kb each, 24 are 17kb each + I also have 1XML file, 1 RGU, 1 TEXT and 1 DSM. To be honest, i don't know what to do with that at all
And about your cab, well it did restore the SIGNAL icon and the notification icons (new text, missed calls...) but the rest stays the same (wifi, active sync, battery, volume...)
Anyway, thanks again man you're great

The manila files are as they should be. Manila uses PNG images that are somehow reformatted in a proprietary way, to become the xxxxxxxx_manila files. If you need to edit them, I'd look into Mode9 editor, or another manila editing program. Just set the directory that the xxxxxxxx_manila files are in for all folder options (when you start it for the first time), and you're good to go.
The DSM, XML, RGU, and Initflashfiles.txt files are useful only for cooking ROMs. Cab2oem is a tool for creating oem packages from cab files, so they can be baked into a ROM. Since you aren't cooking a ROM, you know that the files go into the \Windows folder, and there aren't any registry entries (confirmed by looking through the .RGU), they're not terribly useful to you.
As for the icons, I don't quite know what else to do. You could try dumping your ROM and looking for the images you don't want, then dumping a stock 6.5 ROM and taking the images you want from that. Then, you could create a .cab to replace the images, but I think that'd be a lot of work, not really worth it, and there's no guarantee it'd even work.
Also, if you manage to create a black and white slider, post it on XDA please(I like the black and white style from the older versions much more than the colored ones). Hope that helps
OMGHAX 600th post!
well the cab in the first post IS a fully working b&w slider but for SENSE2.1, all the icons are from the winmo 6.1 stock rom so if u have sense 2.1 in your device, my friend you will be happy with that cab trust me (somebody from xda did it for me a couple of weeks ago and i've tested it myself.. but i wanted SENSE 2.5 in french so much and a rom just came out that is not heavy on memory usage so i flashed my device for the 1st time but sadly, the rom was too customized ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/editpost.php?do=updatepost&p=4984984 ) even if the tweaking part is perfect
can't nobody take a look at this? Think about it guys : to have sense 2.5 with a the BLACK & WHITE stock SLIDER. + All the icons are provided with the perfect size (in the cab) except for twitter & footprints!! :S
wouldn't it be great?
so, nobody wants to see their rhodiums to look classy with 6.5? ...
just kidding
bump. i want some classy b&w slider icons for sense 2.5 (unfortunately, i cant help). my today screen just getting too much on it with maxmanila and i think it would look cleaner. the dusk theme has good looking slider, but i would like to see just the slider and not the whole thing (plus dont think its compatible with my current rom; juicy r5)

i'm with you on that, i mean there's too much colour on manila 2.5 home screen for our devices,... at least, if the slider looked like the stock one, b&w, the screen would look cleaned up,.. plus having a stock feel on it
(ag'n, sorry if me english bad izz, native language french )
I would also be interested in the STOCK black and white icons for the bottom bar/slider in Manila / Sense 2.5...
Thanks.
well i'm not a cook or a chef, but since an official landscape support is (obviously) coming soon, i think i will work on that seriously.. all the knowledge i have on the subject is what has been advised by "dave the tytnII guy" a couple of posts ago..
so to begin with that, i need the manilla files coming out of both:
-a basic sense 2.5 (by that i mean a portrait "only" version)
-the files from sense 2.5 with official landscape support (just like in ark666's latest rom)
-plain b&w icons for the footprint tab + the document tap + twitter tab (i have my ideas on how to get these but the final result may not be perfect..)
so i'll be sure to make 2 of them (since there's the document tab in the second one + landscape so there may be more files to handle -- also the one with landscape may not work on portrait versions of sense 2.5)
--->> i'm asking u xda folks : can anyone provide me those manilla files, and will anyone be able to put my work into a cab? (i'm not a pro, i'm just a passionnate HTC user )
currently using nrgz latest 2.5 rom, and i would also like to have a custom slider.
so far
i have done an export of all manila files from the phone to the pc, and then used cfc-gui to export all png file. this gives 1420 images.
i thought i could easily look through these files and spot which ones where the ones used for the slider and then replace them.
the trouble now is, i can see multiple images that could be the one used ( ie i have 5 twitter "t" that are all the right size )
so does any body know the manila file names of the items used in the sense 2.5 bar.
what would be handy is the manila file names for all
14 slider icons, the preview picture, also the icon used in the sense tab settings.
wow, this is exactly the way i have planned to proceed...
now, the only way i can think about is to start working with that, even if i have to do it one by one for all of the image files :S.. then it should work i guess
... but also we need to find the right images for both footprint and twitter tabs...
so nobody wants to see that happen i guess...
