I have tried manilla 2D & it is really fun to play with, but rather limiting in what it allows you to do (no home screen plug-ins etc). After using it until the novelty wore off, I switched to Mobile Shell with greatbal's awesome Diamond theme whichs works very well & is a lot more useful options wise.
I was bored the other night sitting around waiting for trick or treators while my Wife & 8 year old daughter where out & I decided to see if I could have the best of both worlds.
I knew I would need as much free mem as possible so I set up a nue3 system in high mem mode & restored a BU I had with Mobile shell/Diamond etc & a ton of programs already tweaked & working (including MSVC working with BT). I then installed manilla2D + the customizer & used just the minimum number of tweaks/fixes etc to get all the functions working (HTC Album/Audio Manager etc).
I already had a lot of components skinned with Poorlyducks black theme.
This setup came out incredibly well & I can switch back & forth between 2D & MS anytime I want by just unchecking one plug-in & enabling the other. This would never have worked without nue3 providing the free mem that it does. Both setups work perfectly & the only time I see the "tap here to load 2D" screen is after exiting Opera.
