I was trying to change the size of the big icon(let me try to explain when you use the slider at the bottom the big icons pop up in the middle of the screen)and it doesn't work. When I flash it, it doesn't show an icon, just a blank white square? Any ideas??

if you are sure you have the right manila file, it will not display if the file size is incorrect, i believe that file is 256x256. make sure that the file you replaced it with is the same exact size, also make sure that you set the transparency to the background of the image.
i would check those first.

I'm sure I got the right one. So I can't change it to make image smaller? Also I tried changing it to PNG8 it, will this work?

Just wanted to say thank you this worked like a champ and now that I am brave enough to start playing with this I got a lot of work to do.

Just thought I would through this out there, I would like to make some sliders but I am not sure of all the Manila files I need. I am running Sense 2.5.2012 does anyone by chance have these already in a file they could zip up and post?

Hello! This is realy needed theme!
Can you tell what are the names of files which is the Curtains (where Carrier name is written)? And how can I make my slider transparent (including it's shadow under icon)? I tried many of cabs but they don't work properly.
I have Sense 2.1 on my HTC Touch HD.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm trying to edit the music player play/next/prev icon to half transparent. I know there's already made cab for that..I've installed it previously, but because installing some custom slider, everything messed up. Can't even install that cab again. I want to edit the icon manually using CFC. I have saved the icon, edit it on PS, saved as PNG (I'm saving it using normal PNG format). Then send it to phone using CFC again. Restart the phone, the icon is changing, except, there's no transparency....Where did I go wrong?

Should I save the image with "save for web and device"? or maybe any setting on CFC?
