Thanks again.

If you install one of the other cubes of mine, it will wipe all your cube settings and put my cube settings in place.

Best thing to do is to use CeRegEditor and export the HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch key to a file, Then install the 4sided cube with blank animations, restart, then import the file you exported, then restart.

You can also do this when the new rom comes out, since it requires a hard reset.

In the psd file I provided, there's 2 layer sets, IconPressed and Icon. What I do is paste my icon without it's background into the Icon project file I provided, then use Edit/FreeTransform to size it and then move the image to center it. Now, in the layer window move your new icon into the Icon layer set and then rename it to something. Now right click the new icon layer and select Duplicate layer and name it to your icon name with the word Pressed and move it into the Icon Pressed layer set. Now, Freetransform the your new icon Pressed image and reduce the size a bit.

To get the blue effect, right click on the IE Pressed layer I provided and select Copy Layer Style and then right click your new Icon Pressed layer and select Paste Layer Style. Do the same to your original Icon by copying the style from my IE layer and pasting it to your icon layer.

Also, your layer order is important, your icons in each layer set needs to be above the button within the layer set. Think of layers as peices of paper you cut out and stacked on a large peice of paper.

I'm VERY new to making icons. I don't have Photoshop, but I did download yesterday the open source graphic software, Gimp (http://www.gimp.org). This software is compared to Photoshop. Will your instructions and layer sets work in Gimp? The terms you use are some of the options is see in Gimp. Thanks.

EDIT:
I was able to open the psd file in Gimp. Now I need to learn what to do with it.

Hi All:

I was trying to uninstall Vista Cube 2.0 in order to revert back to the "stock" cube in order to show someone interested in the Touch the stock cube (IOW, what they could expect OOTB when they bought a Touch)

I went through the usual process... "settings/remove programs" etc., but the process hung and said that Vista Cube could not completely removed. Hmmm. Pretty sure it is my fault, but are there any theories as to what went wrong??? I can't think of anything else I have installed that would cause this. Thoughts???

the vista cube customizes the PRE EXISTING cube
the mogul has no cube to customize so no it will not work

Actually, if you follow the directions on this post:

And install the Vista Cube instead of MacFlo it should work.

Any one else got a fix for on demand? That is the only thing not working for me on the full animation. Other than that, it's a cool cube. Would like to change a few things though but not a big deal right now.
Never mind, fix it, I've installed it on my mircro SD, fix it in the registry. It is working now, great cube. Thanks.

Try running it from the icon from Programs. By default On Demand is not installed. The Icon in Programs runs the install process, then the cube Icon should work after it installs.
