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?

Anyone else?

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

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.

There is no real solution (at least nothing dependable). Some images simply can't be changed easily, and some you have to try the approach of changing the header option or trying the "Opera icon" approach.

All of the hacked files posted here are based on previously posted solutions (here and XDA) and have been offered as-is. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Manila hacking isn't a perfect science and is often an act of compromise.

Only the content I actually claim is mine (like the Sprint Manila Blue packages) are promised to provide a full experience.

I haven't made any attempts to edit the Landscape mode since I can count on one finger the number of times I've spent more than 10 seconds looking at it. I'll add it to a list of things to look into this weekend (and of course, if you find a solution on your own this week, you're welcome to share it here).

You'll need to provide any custom icons on your own... PNG format works best, in my opinion. :)

Just wanted to ask whether you personally also have the problem with accessing the calendar from the TF3D home menu, or is just a few of us?

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

I only use my own "Sprint Manila Blue" package installed, so no I definitely don't have any issues with mine. I haven't extensively tested the flip-clocks, but I do know there are a LOT of quirks with the Backgrounds on all tabs package.I'd be extremely cautious using it and weigh in your own mind whether that hack is really worth the quirks.

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

The background on all tabs is still being worked on.. If you have a base set up and install the cab, it will work, BUT it destroys your stock clock..

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

How can I change the "manila" of the "internet" from the opera6 to their own IE?

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

Is there any way you can set up a different background picture for each tab?

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

Is there a CAB anywhere that can add the calender tab on TF3D.. i seen on youtube and someone had it. When on calendar tab it showed the month view. I thought it is pretty dope.

I believe this is what you're looking for...

Re: HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

You can install it, but A) it doesn't do anything except show the calendar, and B) you're stuck with the iPhone calendar icon, and C) when I tried it, it jacked up the slider and crashed Manila periodically.

Not something I recommend unless/until they make it do something.
