I don't know where the OP went but, A BIG THANKS TO HIM FOR HIS WORK!!

Thanks again, GoodThings2Life

To anyone who uses the Manila Editor Program.

I can use the program and open the Manila Files but I get this error the first time I try to replace an image.



Under the details tab:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Anyone know how to fix this... I'm not really grasping it??

I have been getting that error too. So what I have been doing is using the CFC_Gui to save & replace my files, the I use Manilla Editor to zip em all.

hey,

i've been reading the tutorial on customizing your touch pro theme. i am also using the sprint theme as a default and i just changed the background for the phone and the operator logo using manilla. they replaced and i went to zip them and created a zip file successfully supposedly. however, when i go to extract the zip file..errors come up and it says "unknown method in; no files to extract". anyone know why this could be happening and what i can do to fix this??
-thanks

I don't I 'm understanding you correctly. You mean you changed your back ground and operator log using Manila Editor? You can easily do both of those thing without Manila Editor if you want to.

For your background, just go to the "Settings" tab in TF3D, then "wallpaper" and change it there.

For your operator logo: Use "Personalizer". You can find it on this site.


BTW. Welcome to the site!

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

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!!
