OK, stupid question.

Does this work on the Sprint ROM?

When I try to run the editor, I get this.....

An unexpected error has occured in Manilla Editor.exe.

Hello.

You cant run it on your diamond!!

Do i need more appz installd on my pc. I installd winzip on my pc and now i can unzip and zip the file on my pc. Befor i only hade winrar, and whit winrar you can extract zipfiles. When I move the zipped files to the phone and extract the file it says, "not enough memory".

And all the files are 0% in winzip. But on the pc I can unzip them.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ericsson68:
OK I must be doing something wrong...

I've exported all my manila files to my PC (everything with 'manila' on the end - is there anything else?)

Manila editor parses my folder fine.

But - most of my manila files are in the 'unknown' category and not grouped. Why would this be? It's the standard latest manila build as far as I know.

Any tips after reading this whole thread?

If you have failed to figure this out after reading the exact same questions repeatedly....and sorry if this sounds rude....then uninstall the program, close this thread and avoid trying anything like this again. best bet is to hope someone else makes a theme you like and can make it very easy to install.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Although I am usually of the aceracer type, since you were at least polite:

Copy all your "manila" files from device /Windows folder to your PC and open those from the menu in Manila Editor...

i will donate 5 bucks to anyone who edits some sliders for me using this program.

I have the "sliders off center" issue with what sliders I download.

From a post in Nisse's theme thread:

use Manila edit... extract 1e29e8e7_manila to png and just move it to the right, then replace the new image in Manila Editor.

I need the slider moved to the right.

The image below is a recreation of the issue. I have the actual manila file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NisseDILLIGAF:
Are u using a different clock then the original?

can sometimes be solved just by copying a manila file to your phone... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] skilty:
upload your 1e29e8e7_manila file and i'll have a look at it - could be as Nisse has just said... regarding the clocks... have you changed from the standard clock at all?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] meccadon123:
I actually am using the 'sprint2flipclock.cab" that also says in another post in the clock thread that it would "center icons".

I think originally folks were having issues with their sliders being off to the right, now mine(sliders) are off to the left. i actually removed the clock and it defaulted back to the sprint clock and the sliders (no matter which) were still off to the left. Right now i am using the default slider.

I attempted to use whiskybro's black diamond slider.

Hey Nisse', which manila file do you speak of (they may or may not correct my problem)?

OK here is what fixed it. I noticed that the "wallpaperforalltabscab" was shifting folks sliders to the right. So I installed this cab and it centered my slider. problem solved.

thank anyone who at least attempted to help me.

So for anyone who's slider is off to the LEFT, wallpaperforalltabs.cab will center it(and of course put your wallpaper on all your tabs).

I am experiencing the same "white out" issue when I install an updated file. I have attached the background file that I am trying to use, so maybe someone can look at it an tell me what is going wrong.

Thanks for all the great work and idea sharing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GoodThings2Life:
OK, so far the only solution for the white out issue I'm seeing is to manually edit the Manila that calls the image and edit it to refer directly to the PNG instead of the graphic manila file. An alternative, certainly, but such a pain since keeping track of all the manila files is complicated enough.

Has anyone identified a better solution?

I've attached the graphic I want to use if someone wants to take a stab at converting it properly. Otherwise, if someone points me in the right direction, I'll take care of it myself. :)

Manila Editor error

For those who uses Vista & encountered error after pressing "replace" button in Manila Editor, here's a helpful tip:

Since the Manila Editor is an .exe file, Vista users have to right click on the file & click on "run as administrator", this will give Manila Editor the full right to read & write files.

BMP issue....

Hi all,

I'm trying to mannually edit my manila.

I succesfully changed a lot of the PNG files.

But I get issues when changing BMP files. I tried saving them in many different ways in photoshop (8/16/32bit), alfa etc etc

Most of them do not show at all but when I save as 16bit they do show but the colors are totally messed up.

Suggestions???

Either take a look at the zip I uploaded or let me know what or how I should be saving my PNG's.

I'm wondering if maybe it has to do with my ROM or Manila version.

Problem saving _manila files to phone

Hi there... I'm just getting started with Manila editor, and figured I'd quickly modify one of the *_manila graphics in the \windows directory on my Fuze. No problem using Manila editor to get, edit and replace the resource - but I am having a problem copying the file back to the \windows directory on the phone. For whatever reason, I don't have permissions to write to this folder ("*_manila could not be placed on the device. You do not have permission to create this item.).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can unlock this folder or transfer files there directly?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] joykanani:
You need to use a program like Resco Explorer or Total Commander to copy the files back to your Fuze. I use Resco, which costs a little but I believe Total Commander (I think that's what it's called) is free. Hope that helps!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] joykanani:
I was getting the white out issue and asked for help but didn't get a response.
