Not sure man... I can't even get rgu->xml and xml->reg to give me usable outputs
I didn't delve into it, but take a look at the provxml's in the newer SYS's Office Folders. They give descriptions and everything so I'm hoping it's not to difficult to edit to our purposes.
From: SYS\#####\SHARED\COMMON\Office\

I just need the time to reflash a few times because, If I make enough changes, I'm pretty sure I won't get it perfect the first time, lol.
I plan on putting the icons and a pre/post-xml into WinCE cab manager for this once I'm sure my xml's are solid.

maxmanila can absolutely cause problems. might wanna see if you have the delete option w/o maxmanila installed. screenshots attached.

The opera 9.7 in the latest kitchen uses the zoom slider w/o problems too.

that's exactly what i did with the swype. i did, however add the htc keyboard look to it.

as for the zoom slider, it always worked (sorry i didn't say that). the problem was the rotating using the accelerometer when i rotated my phone. that part didn't work with the one i selected from the kitchen.

for my lnk locations and the actual icon images themselves... i have been cookin in xda uc and using that to do all the work after my cabs are done installing.

I use one xml per lnk to move it (if needed). Why one per lnk? So if the app is removed during cooking, the other icons/xml will be processed. If i make one huge xml file and remove an app, the whole thing blows up.

Then i have another xml that defines the favorite order and icon image locations. I just keep all the pngs for the lnks on my storage card and use the xml to point to that location.

and then i get (screen shot attached)....

I also included a zip w/ the xml to move audio booster and my xml that sets the icon paths. Hope I help someone...

ohhhhh okay got ya. I actually configured SensorSDK4 to rotate opera so I never noticed it.

That's what I read. I wasn't even going to try it. But thought what the hey. When I cooked in the 2.9 package I made, I was surprised everything seemed to work correctly. So I thought.

I will probably try it just because I am curious. But I will pick maxmanila over a delete menu. However, if there could be a delete key in the soft menu or on the side, that would be golden.

Great Idea!!! but that still sucks to make lol

EDIT: Anyone know what this reg does??

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://programs.page.hidden"=dword:2

I know setting it to one hides the Programs Tab.

True, it does the first time around. But now, if I add an app, I only need to go edit my StartMenu.xml (create one new entry) and create one small xml to move the lnk.

If I remove an app, nothing breaks and I leave as is.

I don't agree...IMHO...I think Sprint is just "branding" the standard 2.1 manila. I would be very "pleasantly" suprised if Sprint's alleged WM6.5 update will have Manila 2.5 running on top. I don't think the "general public" will live with gimped full screen weather animations. Besides, its Sprint...why would THEY push the edge when they can just wait for their 4G network to grow and mature to the point they can claim first on widespread 4G??
