Haha... Yeah there are a couple!

How come a lot of the files are "hidden" in windows? I goto the properties to unhide them but the "Hidden" checkbox is stuck on hidden.

What if I just wanted to overwrite one single manila file? I'd like to have the transparent tabs and found a manila file, but when i try to copy over the old one (I've backed it up of course) total commander says it can't.

I hate being a noob.

I am not sure. Usually you just use Total Commander. Copy the file from your internal storage (or where ever you have it) and copy/move to /windows. You might want to try turning off TF3D in the Today menu.

First copy all of the _manilia files from the /windows directory to your internal storage. Then select all the files and go to properties. Uncheck Hidden and System attributes. Make sure both boxes are clear of any checks, you may have to tap it twice to remove all checks. After this you will be good and you will be able to manipulate and view all the files.

Quick word of warning when using Manila Editor... You can NOT change the Internet tab globe icons or the Sprint default background with 0.2 version of this tool. It will result in a "White Out" effect for that button.

If you want to replace it, you need to edit the file "27c65cbd_manila" so that it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>  
  <IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
  <Banner
    DefaultImagePath="\Windows\Globe.png"
    SelectedImagePath="\Windows\Globe_Selected.png"
    Width="480"
    Height="215" />
  <OperatorLinks>
    <Link
      Text="YouTube"
      Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
      ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
  </OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>

Then, your replacement globes should be "Globe.png" and "Globe_Selected.png" and must be copied to the \Windows folder on the phone along with the new manila file. Incidentally, this is where you can remove the YouTube icon as well by removing the 3 lines found between the OperatorLinks markers.

I'm not sure about replacing the background yet, but I will update this post if I find it.

As far as the backgroud; I installed a program that allows changing the wallpaper on all tabs. Once you install it, you can go to the settings tab and change the wallpaper. This change will occur on all tabs. Link below:
