Connect you phone to your computer via Active Sync. Then start Manila Editor. You should be able to follow it from there. I havent used the program, but I think once its connected it finds the Manila files. No sure though

BTW. Welcome to the site!

i got as far as changing the icons and saving them, and as i try to zip the ones i changed it gives me an error ( unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. if you click quit, the application will close immediately.

Could not load file or assembly 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=0.85.4.369, Culture=neautral, PublicKeyYoken=null' or one of its dependencies. the system cannot find the file specified. )

thanks a million to any who could assist me!!

Hello. I no longer would like to have the background on all of the tabs. How do I change this but keep the glass clock?

You need to set either (and recommended both) your phone or computer to Show All Files.

On the PC side, open My Computer and go to Tools > Folder Options > View tab. Scroll about half-way down the list until you see "Hidden Files and Folders". Select "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Apply and OK.

On the phone side, open your File Explorer and go to Menu > Show All Files.

Both of those things are done... It's really wierd. I can even see some .vol files on my storage card, but when I move a .dll to it, the computer won't display it, though my phone will, and if my phone won't display my computer will... unfortunately it is neither in this case

On the phone... Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC... is it set for ActiveSync or Storage Card? Try setting it to ActiveSync for now, if it's not already.

@ Goodthings
Thank you !
its refreshing to find a poster that uses his personal time and effort to help others by making guides like this, as well as your clean up.
I have not yet installed clean up or messed around with customizeing my touch pro, but now as a noodb I feel,
THANKS TO YOUR TIME, EFFORT, AND CONTRIBUTIONS that I can now tackle this stuff as a noob. From here I can grow, So thanks.
Its very refresing.
I have only been posting here for a few days and although there has been some effort to help or answer questions Ive seen lots of egocentric responces or very few responses at all.

In my veiw you represent what a forum should be.. a community that helps and shares info with all......
Even noobs like me that want to learn how to do new things.
Thanks allot ill go play around with your goodies
