First of all sorry for my english

I have the same problem.

I tried all the solutions posted by D-MAN666, but the problem remains
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] D-MAN666:
And, after all, it turned out to be a DPI problem, so i'd suggest to RTFM Photoshop more precisely. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] andrewskwok:
Good stuff. Just what I need
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Idoletto:
Thank you, I'll try again.

BTW I also made another attempt: I exported a png image from a manile file, then modified the same manila file replacing the default image with the png I extracted before: but still have the same chopped effect!

Instructions?????

Sorry for the noob question, but there are too many pages in this thread and I didn't see the instructions next to the download. I'm sure if I search long enough I'll find it, but could someone help me out? How do I use the Manilla editor on my Fuze? I assume that I unzip it, copy the folder to my storage card or internal memory and open the .exe file. What next????

I placed a flip clock on my Fuze using Manila customizer, but the digits remain at 00:00, unless I flip it out of the way, in which case I can see the true time. I'd like to know how to fix this as well.

Help is appreciated!

Thanks!

If you're all having so much trouble with Manila Editor why not try the CFC editor?

The relevant thread is here.

EDIT: Actually, go here instead.

Not to blow my own horn or take a stab at Manila Editor's authors, but both image encoding and decoding quality is much better than Manila Editor.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] D-MAN666:
Yep, i'm okay with that :) The Manila Editor is abandoned project (at least, with me)

I take my hat off to you all!

Is this off topic; I hope not.

I simply wanted to say that, having followed these threads about 'Manila' through from the start, I am so very impressed and heartened by the spirit of selflessness, camaraderie, and determination shown by all those who have contributed here.

One so often hears of all the negatives in the world and within the internet, and to watch so many people from around the globe working together with a common aim, that is helpful to each other and to all of us, is wonderfully uplifting. It says so much about what the good 'average' people of the world are really like.

OK, you can stop being sick now :)

I don't BEGIN to understand most of it! Unfortunately computers weren't around when I was a young chap or I know I would have been in there with you, but I'm a bit up in the tooth to learn now. I'm trying to follow it though, because I still kid myself that one day I will be able to program for computers in an amateurish sort of way.

So THANK YOU one and all and may your God bless you :)

Dave

Cannot find any instoructions

Hi Guys!

I've searched days and could not found one post about how to actually:

- Use the program properly

- Where are the default theme's manila files

- How to create a .theme file

I started playing aound with Manila Editor v2., but I was only able to find the manila files of the theme (XenRed) that I applied previously (root windows folder). Now, I copied it over to my machine, and then created a new graphic, then I replaced it with my own. After this I copied it back to the phone (HTC Diamond still turned on) and I overwrote the manila that I modified on the machine NOTHING happened.

Than I rebooted. Still nothing.

- Should I uninstall Diamond TF3D config?

- The change only occurs, if I change the whole set?

- Can I just change idividual manila files, and than see the result?

Any help would be much appretiated!

I am trying to create a Fallout 3 style Theme for myself, but I cannot make it work.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kz121:
You know what??? I'm ready to firebomb this damn app... I'm beginning to think that these threads all eluding to how easy it is to simply replace a file or edit a file using the manila editor is just a bit farse...

Nothing, even detailed tutorials (like this one: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44689) don't tell you how you get to the original files so that you can modify them - which folders to copy to where and if the windows folder is the one to copy, how do you do this???? i can't even find the png files everyone is talking about...

I don't mind being relegated to the number of themes others have craftily figured out how to build -

i just want to do two stupid things:

1) change the background on screens other then the "Home Page" to an image of choice

2) change the internet search engine to google from that horrific yahoo/att page

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DUMB THIS DOWN FOR ME??? I just can't figure out where to get the original files from or how to direct the editor to the files properly...

I thought copying the backup folder for manila would contain this info but it doesn't appear to and requires the user to drill down to the lowest folder - like "clocks" or the like...

signed - incredibly frustrated

I have file on my computer and can see it and open it in manila ed. but then I can't do anything else!

Hopefully its possible. I dont use the other 3 choices.
