****OFFICIAL TF2D Skinning Thread****

I've tried to install previous .cab themes, but to no avail. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I got the carbon dialer to work (beautifily I might add!!), and the font has changed as well, but as far as the icons, background, clock, etc.... I got nothing. I have TF2DC and everytime I try and import a theme it gives me an error message, so I tried the .cab carbon file, and it only gave me the font. I would really love to show other people your guy's craftyness and artwork. Plus I think they look badarse!! Thanks again for all the hard work guys!

Did you try to rename the Carbon Theme zip to .m2dct then import it via m2dc?

There is no way to make it transparent, but you can remove it. You'll need to look in the XML file. Its under Widget Property, Tab Widget you will need to find all associated lines of code for it to work properly can't remember off the top of my head but if you have some patience you will be able to figuire it out.

Thanks, JDume. =D>

I will give it a shot. If something else relating to this should come to mind, please keep us updated.

Hey, jdume...following your advice, would it be sufficient enough to just search the home.xml for "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill", and then delete all references to it?

I found this on the net, and emailed BeyondInvisible for his weather images. With his permission, I'll post it here so everyone can enjoy.
Happy Holiday.

Hi Hallucination,
Thanks for your donation again.
Sure, you can post it on the forums. There's no "money" or "donation" involved this time, so I guess there will not be any drama, if you know what I mean.
By the way, if you post it, please include these for installation instructions:
1. Download from Megaupload this new NOEL N2D Weather Graphics:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TFNBWITK
2. Edit HTCHomeSettings.xml with the values below:
a) Find:
</ImageList>
Replace with:
<Image index="229" name="hh_fw_bigicon_weather2.png" />
<Image index="230" name="hh_weather_down_arrow_press2.png" />
<Image index="231" name="hh_weather_down_arrow_release2.png" />
<Image index="232" name="hh_weather_up_arrow_press2.png" />
<Image index="233" name="hh_weather_up_arrow_release2.png" />
<Image index="234" name="hh_weather_seperateline2.png" />
<Image index="235" name="hh_weather_seperateline3.png" />
<Image index="236" name="hh_fw_tabbg_weather2.png" />
<Image index="237" name="hh_fw_tabicon_weather2.png" />
</ImageList>
b) Find:
<WeatherWidget enable="1" tab_bg_icon="27,28" tab_icon="176,177" big_icon="67,68" />
Replace with:
<WeatherWidget enable="1" tab_bg_icon="27,28" tab_icon="176,177" big_icon="67,68" />
<WeatherWidget2 enable="1" tab_bg_icon="236,28" tab_icon="237,177" big_icon="229,68" />
c) Replace the WHOLE WeatherWidget with the one below:

3. Save your new HTCHomeSettings.xml file, and replace it with the one in your phone's Windows directory.

That should be it. They probably know how to do it. If not, I hope they can get some help. My email is still open.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Take care,

I'm not sure? You would have to try it. I have done this the way I suggested thats why I know it does in fact work, let me see if I can go through the XML tonight and see what I change then I will post it.

Here are my two Manila Tampa Bay Bucs skins for TF2D (HTC Vogue is what they were designed for). Note: I put the themes together from other themes, therefore the credit is not solely mine.



Download >>> Bucs girl theme.





Download >>> Bucs blue_green wave theme.
