A Few Uncommon Manila Mods

[rpmccormick]

#3... album art? I think you mean #4, I definitely have not seen anyone else add a splash of color to the Call-History icons.

Anyway, I made all these mods myself with PhotoShop and Manila Editor. I could not find curtains/program-boxes with the semi-transparency level I wanted, I like empty jewel-case art, and I like a small bit of color in my icons. I may colorize more of the manila icons if I have time to go through them all.

4) Colored Call History Icons
I just added a little bit of color which makes it look great and much easier to distinguish between Missed/Incoming/Outgoing.


Enjoy!

can you tell me which files will affect this? thanks!

Open the zip, you will find the 3 manila files that are each of the 3 icons.

when I open the zip I see 8 files. but since I can't get any of the call history tabs to work properly this no longer affects me.

Here is my current skin. It works with the HD Manila, it should work with the stock Manila as well. It includes all of the previous 5-mods, + bg on all pages and a clock/icon set.

hey rpmccormick where can i dl that skin from?

[ou2mame]

i really like the those neon icons, but i don't want to change the clock or background on all tabs, do you have just the icons row and shaded icons for when switching? i dunno if it matters, but i just want it for my current tab setup, which is just the home people sms email camera weather settings and programs..

You can download the manila files from the attached zip file. Just copy them to your Windows folder over active-sync.

If you don't want to use all the mods, then just don't copy over the manila files you don't want. Use Manila Editor to view the image in each file.

NOTE: The reason I include the clock is because it is the same file that contains the colored icons for the things below the clock (Alarm, Call History, VoiceMail, and Calendar). As for background-on-all tabs, you can select whatever background you like (just choose a dark image).

If you dont want the stock background on all tabs except home and you don't want the clock, then just don't copy over these files:
0aa5
1bbf
1c68
1c81
1e29
2a0a
4e67
5c9a
78ca
757e

Oh, and the tabs visability/ordering file is 26948339_manila. I'm not sure if I even included that though.

So have they found a way to get the stocks tab only yet?
