I'd like to have the today screen background on all tf3d pages, but I'm hesitant to overwrite the original Manila files that come with the device. Does anyone have a zip of the original files for the Sprint Diamonds, or has that change been made into a cab yet?

Yes. I have all the original Sprint files in Post #4 on the first page of this thread (the post about Manila Editor).

so i changed my tab names but for some reason i cant change the "home" tab name and the "programs" tab name. are these tab names in the 090661f7_manilla file and if so what do i need to change, everything else works just fine and have had no problems using your file and tips.

Home and Programs are both listed in that file... I just checked to be sure. Home is at the beginning, and Programs is usually right in the middle.

I found some tutorials on how to change the WHOLE font by using a font editor and renaming it to Tahoma, HelveticaNueu.. etc. But I want to just change the font for the text in the Mail tab where the subject and body is. I sometimes get emails in Korean and it doesn't show up.

I have not made any effort to change fonts, but I have seen people on XDA do it. Search their Themes forum for info on that, or else I'll try to post a link on here later.

since i am not using the stock theme... would that be an issue.. from what i am reading yes it would be ....

can u just tell me the name of the file then ... maybe i can change in manila editor... u know the hex for red.... not sure how to change the color but i guess i will have to fool around with that... i only changed pictures so far

Here is the red file and a blue file... just unzip the one you want and place the manila file in your phone's \Windows folder.

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

Hello,

First of all. Thank you very much for the changes you have made to my touchpro. It is more responsive now.

I have one question. I am trying to change my clock to the glass clock. What I did was I downloaded the files to my desktop. unzipped them. connected the phone through USB Disk Drive. Pasted into memory card and then browsed in the phone to memory card. copied files to windows folder but it did not work.

It said that I either have not enough memory or i'm not allowed to change the files. It did mention originally when I pasted the files into the windows folder whether I wanted to replaced the files already there with the ones i was bringing in.

If you can help me with this I appreciate. I am not sure whether I'm supposed to attempt this through the manila editor.

I discussed this in post 3... the short answer is that the call history and calendar tabs are pretty pointless since there's no real functionality with them. The communications tab is functional, but there are a lot of issues with the font colors (personally, the two solutions from XDA are less than appealing).

I assume that you did disable/re-enable TouchFLO3D after the change? Beyond that, I've not seen any sign that those can't be changed, but I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure. Try editing 26948339_manila instead.

You didn't disable TouchFLO3D when you copied them to the Windows folder. Start > Settings > Today > Items tab, uncheck TouchFLO3D and try again.

Changing the Internet Globe Icon or Remove the YouTube Link
For some reason, Manila Editor has a really hard time replacing this graphic. In fact, if you even try, you'll end up with a "white out" effect where the icon belongs. The actual manila files in question are:

Globe: 7d3f1247_manila
Globe Selected: 3f00cd2f_manila

However, until Manila Editor works for this graphic, you might think you're out of luck. Not really... instead of those two files, create your own graphics based on 512x256 dimensions with 96dpi and save them as Globe.png and Globe_Selected.png. Then, edit 27c65cbd_manila instead. Change the code for the entire file to look like this:

Code:

<?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>

Oh, speaking of 27c65cbd_manila... if you remove the code between the OperatorLinks section, you'll also get rid of the YouTube Link on the Internet tab.

question how do i go about adding my own links in there with web favacons, the same way youtube was there but using my own favorite sites.

If all you want is a site, just start bookmarking things in Opera. They won't use the favicons, however.

If you want to replace or add links to net-based programs and sites, you need this section of code duplicated and edited:

Code:



   <Link

     Text="YouTube"

     Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"

     ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />

For example, let's say you wanted to add a link for Google Maps:

Code:



   <Link

     Text="Google Maps"

     Executable="\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe"

     ImagePath="\Path to Image Here\Image.png" />

I'm not sure if this works for web sites, however, I'm not sure why it shouldn't work (in theory). You'll need to supply your own images.

Hey, thanks very much for your response!

I installed the files in the zip "Backgrounds+FlipClock (Glass).zip".

This does install the clear flip clock and does provide the TF3D background behind all tabs, but it also disables the ability to open the calendar from the appointment list on the home page. Anyone else notice this?

Below the "call history", TF3D lists your appointments. Before installing these files, I could click on an appointment and was taken to the calendar application. After installing these files, the calendar application does not open after I click on an appointment (the appointment just turns yellow; clicking it multiple times does not help).

Cheers,

Jeff

edit - just noticed that "dvipaul" reported the same problem earlier in this thread:

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

Im having similar problems as a previous poster.

Can open files fine , can export fine , etc...

All pictures are cut off. Tried header changes , tried re sizing them from 32--256 nothing works. All the icons look shoved to the corner.

Exactly as described here.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...8&postcount=46

Im specifically trying the landscape Icons.

Tried it with default manilas.....tried it with others PNGs. Nothing.

No clue whats going on and dont see an answer here or on XDA.

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

Ive dited the regular tabs due to this...but cant seem to do the portrait panel for when my KB slides out.
