Great work congratulations, I have a question...

How did you make the cab, I made my own theme(AlienwareV2) editing the manila files, but can you show me how did you make the cab file?.

THX
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] keko001:
Thx man

I have a question you can also, for example, the great icon as a world sphere form launch browers make in gif poison file so that it runs messages open and close,it is possible
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
There is a program in one of the kitchen files named QuickCab.exe. I use that program. Works ok for me. Attached it to this post. The other program in this post is to extract .cab files. Also very handy.

Cabwiz is a wizard like program. First select the files you want to add, then select the directory you want them to be copied to. Make sure you close manila editor before creating the cab file. That's all. Good luck....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kpm197:
hi, how do you turn your png files into _manila files so i can create a cab? first i tried extracting one of your cabs into win ce cab manager 3.0 and removing and adding my own icon then saving but i only get a blank white square on my icon. then i tried exporting to INF with a view to using cabwiz to turn it into a cab but the free version of wince3.0 doesnt support extracting cab. i can see what i want using manila-editor, i just cant convert the icon files i have into a cab to get on my phone. of course ill be happy to share the icon cabs once ive made them. thanks, kris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Make sure your .png files are resized to 128x128 and 64x64 and insert them with Manila editor. As soon as you insert your .png file in manila editor, you will see that the file has been changed. You can see that in your windows explorer because the time and date stamp are changed.

Then use the Quickcab.exe (see my post earlier this morning) en select the manila files you want to add to the cab. Select the \Windows folder and create your cab file (leave the registry options blank).

Also, the zip file in my earlier post contains another program which will allow you to extract cab files.

I don't know which program you use to resize your icons. I use Photoshop CS3 and when I resize my icons, I use the Save for devices and web option in the File menu to save the files.

Hope this helps.... Let me know, I'll be glad to help...

Maybe it's time to write a short guide on how to change the icon files only :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] arley12:
Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Timbermill:
Thanks for the tips on making cab files :)

just what I needed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dom_mitchell1:
What would be cool would be a Vista style theme for my Touch Pro (when T-Mobile UK eventually brings it to market!).

There doesn't seem to be one yet. I'm going to have a play around with the Theme Editor and .cab compiler. I won't hold my breath; some one else will probably have made it before I get it to work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kpm197:
hi, thanks for the reply. i was using manila editor 0.0.3 which doesnt have the replace option. ill let you know how i get on :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kpm197:
hi, no joy at the moment. ive gone simple to make sure im doing it right.

what ive done is...

- extracted the 'noapple' file.

- used manila editor, taken one of the png, opened in paint, scribbled over it and replaced it back into manila editor.

- opened quickcab, selected all the files in the extracted 'noapple' folder including the one i've replaced, created a cab and copied and installed on my diamond.

the cab installs, but im just left with the original diamond icons...?

do i need to specify a custom .dll in quickcab? (ive tried both ways)

do i need to copy the '_QUICK~1.000' and setup.xml from the extracted 'noapple' folder into the cab? (ive tried both ways)

thanks, kristian
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kpm197:
looking in file explorer the files are named 037DEF~1 rather than the usual 037def1e_manila

is this the problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kpm197:
ok, solved. i had extracted the files using TUGZIP rather than a proper cab extractor (WIN CE Cab Manager 3.0). i'll post up when ive created my first half decent cab :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Ok, nice. You can use the cab extractor tool in the zip file which I posted earlier. That one works perfectly. Don't use the 037DEF~1 files. You really need to insert the images in the real manila files like 8e4773_manila.

Also make sure that when you use the Quickcab program that you select the windows folder on the right side of the screen to put the files in. They should be in red color then.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kpm197:
hi, ok here's my first cab (ever). it replaces all the icons on the dock with more light-hearted stuff. it is tested and working on my diamond 1.94 from swift. i couldnt find a suitable icon for call history or email so pelase suggest and ill add them to the cab. no screenshots either unless someone can suggest a program to use. big thanks to mre-net for helping out in the thread :)

Good job, looks really nice..... :thumb:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Towelie_NLD:
Wow very nice created MRE-net, I tried the noapple cab on my 1.93NLD ROM with the standard Manilla and it works great. Can you confirm that it isnt possible to use animated gif files instead of png's?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
I can't confirm it because I haven't tried. But the manila editor program only supports .png and jpeg I believe. Furthermore, it's hard to find really nice gif animations.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sirx:
thanks mate!!

It works great..thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rotkaeqpchen:
Very nice Icon-Set, thank you very much for that. Could you replace your WeatherTabIcon in the next Version? It looks too flat and boring, when comparing them with the others...

ThAnK**YoU! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
Firstly, thanks for the cabs i have installed an it works fine on my Diamond. However im not sure i like one or two of the icons, Is there any way you could make an "icon manager" program with a list of all the icons on it so we could change what icons are used a bit like TF3D Advanced config. or if that is too much hassle for you could i ask for a new people tab icon with some sort of stick men pic and also the weather tab icon could be a bit better as someone has said in a preivious post it loks a bit flat, Maybe a 3d sun or something!

I dont mean to be picky and once again thank you for the great work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Ok thanx for your feedback. I know you aren't picky about this, I had the same remarks with other icon themes, that's why I created my own.

No, I can't make an "icon manager" program because I'm not a programmer. I only used the manila editor posted here on the forum. So I can't help you with that.

About te weather icon: It's flat because I'm Dutch and if you've ever been in Holland, you know that Holland is as flat as a piece of paper, so I took a picture of it and made an icon out of it ;) No, just kidding. I liked that icon myself, so if you have an nice 256x256 icon you would see in the icon set, I could implement it for you. Just make sure it has a transparent background.

Also, It's very simple to create your own icon set. Just download the manaila editor and my icon set and replace the icons for your own icons.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
Does this theme only work for when the Diamond is docked?

Also, to get it to run on a 1.93 ROM, am I right in thinking you have to re-install the animations cab then?

Thanks,

S.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sergio PC:
I have no idea on how to make this but I have read some where that you guys use .png files??

If thats correct I have a large collection of icons. Check it out maybe you like a couple:

PS: Thanks for icons very nice:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] -Mr. X-:
Installed on my diamond. everything looks great except the call history icon seems to be stretched in the icon bar and the pop of it when you scroll, is a white box.

thanks for the hard work tho.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Can you make a screenshot of it and post it here ? The problem is probably that the original icon isn't in the right size format. I had some problems converting is to the right size. I can reupload the theme with the old call history icons if you like...

@Sergio. thanx for the icons. Will check them out..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
You meen docked as in charging it with your usb cable or standing in a docking station ? No, dock icons are just the icons on the bottem and will always work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
Ahh! lol! Thanks!

I currently have the 1.93 ROM (Swift 6.2) version, can I just install this now then? Or must I do something else first?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
I haven't tested it on cooked roms, but I know some guys who use my icon set with coocked roms. Just download the file and copy it to your device, disable your TFL3D and run it. Reboot and enable TFL3D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] simcarloc:
MRE-net, I just installed the icons. Thank you so much for these, I have wanted simple and elegant looking icons for a while now and these are perfect - I especially like the Swiss army knife icon!

Thanks again for your work,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] -Mr. X-:
here yah go :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Ok thanx, check your PM box. I already wrote you a message. Download the file again TFL3DIconsV2.cab and deinstall the old one. Than install the new cab. The new cab has the old icons for call history. I don't use call history so I was unaware of the white areas. Sorry for that.

New call history icons look like this:

and should work.

@ MRE-net

Good evening MRE-net,

I have a massive favour that i would like to ask, i hope you don't mind. Having read through this thread i was inspired to put together a icon collection of my own choosing. However although i have found all the icons i like i just cannot get the whole Manila editor and cab thing working right, now i'm usually quite good at figuring these things out however on this occasion i'm wll and truly stumped.

So the favour i want to ask is that if i send you all the icon files i want would you mind throwing together a cab for me? I know it's a big ask but i'm really at the end of my tether and i'm starting to worry that i'll do something wrong and mess up my whole system, and i guess you must be pretty fast at putting these together now.

Really hoping you can help,

All the best

Steve

No problem at all. Just zip them and attach them to your post or give me a download location. Also make sure you put in a text file with the names of the icons and which ones you would like to see where, like:

House.png - Home tab

Camera.png - Pictures tab

Sun.png - weather tab

etc...

Will have some time tomorrow evening.

@ MRE-net

Hi again MRE,

Thanks a lot for you reply but after many hours of trying this and that i finally cracked it!!! WeHey!! I used some of your icons as well as some that i downloaded / made myself.

Thanks again it's really appreciated.

@ Everyone

Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.

The Call history - Messages - Internet - Photos and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. As far as the other tabs are concerned i used MRE-net's original Programs icon and the Swiss army Knife for Settings.

In my opinion they look great on the Diamond, a touch more 'cartoony' than MRE's but i like them.

Now figured out how to do screenshots, so here they are.

You'll notice that the Call History and Messages tabs green areas do not look wrong when the 'New event' green circle is present.

I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon, but i couldn't find another one that fits better, i'll change this if i find a better one

I particularly like my Weather Icon, took me ages to find and then Paintshop it to my requirements. It's amazing how hard it is to find good 3D weather icons!!

I have these saved in MRE's original CAB file, which installs perfectly, so if anyone would like to try my icons you can download the CAB from here -

http://www.uploading.com/files/HM5OPJSE/TFL3DTABICONSV2.cab.html Updated to include enhanced Messages tab.

If the file is no longer available on the above link then please drop me a PM and i will Email the CAB to you.

Once again i give a BIG THANKYOU to MRE-net for his icons and also the original CAB file, without which i would not have been able to put this together.

All the best

Steve

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:

Use is my self on my diamond and works great. So we can expect some nice themes now from you ;)

Hi!I have question.Everything ist nice but...i dont't have Calendar icon on TF3D menu.I instal TFL3DIconsV2.cab ??:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Install V3 please.....But V2 also has the calendar icon. Make sure you've added the calender to your tfl3d. If you haven't done this, the calender icon won't show up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] isetia:
What is the diff between V2 and V3, I tried both but, I could not find call history and calender, how to put calender in TFL3D

Also, is the calendar icon included in the NoApple icon package?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] !Novy:
I install V3 but...no calender icon.Hov to add calender icon to tfl3d?Help please!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Calendar icon looks like this:

I made the NoApple icon set before I enabled the calender tab, so I think the NoApple Icon set hasn't got the calender icon included.

For those who want the calendar icon to show up, you first have to enable the calendar. Follow the steps in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=423647

If you don't enable the calender tab, the icon also won't show up. First enable the calender tab, then install the icon set.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] clue11:
lol MRE-net. I didn't realize i was asking for your wallpaper. But I've installed your icons here and love them. Would it be possible to include the calendar icon in the NoApple set? Also, I'm thinking of adding a tab for the Comm Manager...you wouldn't happen to have an icon for that that matches the rest?

Sorry for all the requests. If it's a hassle then don't bother. I'm just not a big fan of the iPhone so wanted to stay away from Apple-ish icons :P

Thanks again for the help and the great icons here!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pschoch:
MRE-net, you are a genious. Cheers Pat
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] _JuSteR_:
I used to use calendar and lost calls tabs also.

How can I add these tabs?

TNX!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Thanx man.... Sure it's possible to add the calendar icon to the NoApple set, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. Hope to do it this week. I don't use a tab for the Comm Manager, but it would be possible to add an icon. I don't have an icon which matches the other icons, so if you have a suggestion for an icon, I'd be happy to add it. Make sure the size is 128x128 in jpeg, bmp or png format. Don't know what the manila file is for a comm manager but that wouldn't be too hard to find out. More than enough info here on the forum.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=423647

and make sure that your calendar tab and calls tab don't have the same page order. If both have page order 5 for example, only 1 of the tabs will be shown. Make sure that the calender tab has page order 9 (or some other number) and the call history has page order 10 (or some other number)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] clue11:
That'd be great. No rush so take your time. I'm actually debating whether to include a Calendar tab or not lol (since it's basically a useless Calendar right now and doesn't have the ability to set appointments etc). If you do get around to it...please throw in the Call History tab into the NoApple set too? :P

As for the Comm Manager icon...maybe the current icon in Programs for Comm Manager? I think it'd fit with the rest of the icons in the set.

Here's the thread regarding the Comm Manager tab just in case too:

OK, I'm using the TFL3DNoApple.cab, but the Music icon is difficult to see against the black background of the tf3d curtain. I wouldn't mind using the original ipod looking icon, but I don't want the rest of the apple icons, just the Music one.

I'm trying to figure out how to change them myself, but I've never done this before. Would someone be able to assist? Or MRE-Net, if you have a free moment, would you be able to swap the music icons in this cab for me?

Thanks gang!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] clue11:
You'd need to find out which manila files are for the Music Tab icon. Then simply replace those manila files in the original icon set by MRE-Net with the manila files in the NoApple set.

There are two manila files: one for the small slider icon and one for the big icon that shows on top when you're sliding.

Use this program (see attachment). Rename it to MSCEInfen.exe and execute it because it´s not really a .zip file.

To all others, I don´t have too much time the next couple of weeks. Doing 60 hours a week at work and i´m tired as hell when I come home. Please read the forum on how to create your own icon theme. It´s not that difficult. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ivtec20:
Anyone know off hand which manilla files are for the music icon? I'm at work, and my work computer doesn't have the right .net deal needed to use the manilla editor program, so I think I'm stuck (until I get home).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ivtec20:
OK, I'm at home and found the right files and whatnot.

So, I have everything right, but I can't put it in a cab (as far as I know). I've never made a cab, so perhaps I'm at a disadvantage. Is there a free way to make a cab? I only want to make the one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRE-net:
Use QuickCab v1.0

See attachement
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ivtec20:
YES!!! I figured it out! Thanks MRE for your icons, cab maker, and help.

Very excited. First cab. Granted, I just swapped two of the files with your previously created cab. But I had never used the manila editors or cab extractors or makers, so that was an adventure.

So i'm kind of fooling around with Manila as well. My plan is to make a theme from the best game out there, StarCraft! Of course with StarCraft 2 graphics :)

What I do is export an excisting image as PNG, open it with Photoshop, edit it without changing the positioning, save it and import it again. But somehow the saved image shows up at a completely different location, and is larger then the original. How can this be? Manila clearly states that (for example the 012 clock image) is 256 x 256 pixels. Somehow when I save the same image with different colors it shifts and enlarges...

Anyone familiar with this problem? If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about I'll post some screenshots.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Riviero:
Did some digging on the forum, and found a threat that discusses pretty much the same problem. It says to use 96dpi (Photoshop CS4 automatically made it 112dpi, no idea why). This however doesn't solve the problem...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ivtec20:
Attached cab uses MRE-net icons, includes missed call tab, calender tab, & communications tab. I use the knife icon for comm tab, the mac computer with programs running for the programs tab, and the ipod with headphones tab for music tab.

New active icon in calender tab does'nt appear...

[/QUOTE]

You 've made a beautiful active icon for the calender tab!

However - and it's mentioned before in this thread- : with none of your cabs I can get this icon to work. I installed the calender tab with active icon exactly as described, and it works fine, but only the original red and white icon appears, whatever cab of you I install...

Maybe you can give me the manila files so I can copy them in my windowsfolder?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ivtec20:
MRE-net, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the calendar icon involved in this thread was never intended on being active. The active calendar icon was related to an iphone looking icon set.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rjh62:
Aha! That must be the explanation! Maybe a nice challenge for someone?
