Use your M2DC Restore M2D Settings, if still not apply the Original theme, with regards to the message notifications you use a Tilt\Kaiser [FINALLY SOLVED!] Very annoying SMS bug in many different ROMs
[Windows Mobile Software Development] anagarika:
Stylez,

Thank you very much!

Tried that with M2DC, no luck. So I ended up hard resetting (and since I'm doing that anyway, I re-flashe L26's TF3D) All works much better with the exception of Audio Booster not working (to me not a big deal)

However, about SMS, LoserSkater's file I have already installed, and still the 'unread' issue there. I tend to agree with ai6908 because on Leo's TF3D V4, it simply works everytime.

PS: your Audio Manager (original Kaiser) works so well! THANKS!

Hi, how can I move the mass image files for m2d from \windows to \ManilaGFX (say), when rom cooking. I have modify the initflashfiles.txt to copy files to \ManilaGFX ,but it still in windows, why??

Also, how can I modify xml to establish a iphone like task menu bar.

Thank you for attention.

Havin' a problem with Manilla. I go to install a new theme through M2DC, which I have done successfully before, but with multiple files I get a 'unable to find HTChomesettings.xml or a hh_* file in the selected archive. aborting import' while adding themes. I downloaded HTChomesettings.xml file and extracted it to my windows file, and tried again. But no luck. Can anyone help? I have no custom ROMS or anything on my Omnia i910. Thank you, and I love Manilla!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] claus1953:
That depends on the M2D version. if i am not wrong only version 20 did use the gfx folder.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] claus1953:
Some themes are m2dct files inside a zip file, then you have to unzip and install the m2dct file.

Hi, I'd like to change in the email tag the size of the envelope to make it longer (i have an Omnia), so it exposes more text of the emails recieved. Is it possible to do by only changing values in the htchomesettings.xml or do i need to edit one or more images too? Could you please tell me who would be the values to change for doing this?

thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
I think it has to do with these particular parts of the email section

The first two numbers are the x,y coordinate of the upper left corner and the second two are the lower right corner x,y coordinates. I would try the body text and the message text numbers since they appear to be within each other.

Home tab modification needed please

Could anybody help me with this.

The home tab where the date, time and operator shows in the top half and the bottom half has the alarm, Call history and the calendar appointment shows is where I have a problem. I wanted help on how to replace the calendar appointments with either the photo contacts pro profile line or the inesoft address book profile changer line.

This would be really helpful as now even if photocontacts pro shuts down there is no way I could know as it is not visible and changing profiles needs me to go to programs and do it from there. If this line could be seen it on the home tab the moment photocontacts pro it would display a message at the same line.

I apologise for being very plain and not being able to speak the techy lingo.

I searched for the same here but could not see any reference to it. Would be great if somebody could work around this.

Thanks.

My phones HTC Elf (P3450), HTC Artemis (P3300) both running manila 2D ROMS.

I like the blue paper, goes well with my theme. I made the up and down files mostly transparent so I could see through them. I changed the xml to increase the size of the body and message text, but it only gets so big and won't get any larger. If I make the width wider, it runs off the paper. I have not tried changing the paper wider yet.

Messaging Tab - Message Body Width

Thanks RoryB for tyhe tips. I've change the values to

<Property name="IDMSGWG_MESSAGE_MASK_RECT" id="0" value="5, 50, 212, 210" />

<Property name="IDMSGWG_MESSAGE_TXT_RECT" id="3" value="7, 47, 186, 160" />

<Property name="IDMSGWG_MESSAGEINFO_RECT" id="14" value="4, 40, 189, 150" />

i.e. move the starting position to 5 pix from left (-18 pix from default) and increase width by 17 pix (= 35 pix width increase). The width did increase. However, one problem appears - the number of messages per total (n/t) remains at one (1/t) despite sliding to message no 8 (should be 8/t). Any idea which property name is not functioning well ?

The best guess is to move it out of the screen e.g. far right or left. Haven't tried myself but it worked when I moved the up and down arrows in weather tab. The following lines may be relevant.

Now I have the hh_email_envelope_down.png transparent again and I have stretched the height of the hh_email_background.png to be taller. Sorry I just eyeballed it. Now the text and the email count show up in front the hh_email_background.png and the envelope images are ghostly edges. I have some room on my screen. Maybe next thing to try is stretching images wiser and shifting settings to start more to the left.

Then I would have as wide and tall as possible.

Do i just change this:

to this?:

Customized Internet Widget

Hi all

Having realised that it is effectively a second launcher, I've spent some time customising my M2D Internet Widget. I've attached "Internet Customization.zip" that contains my customised icon files as well as "Customized.reg" which I've exported from:

[hklm\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\Customized] and its sub keys.

I've attached some screen shots of what I've put together. Obviously, if you want to recreate this, you will need to go through the .reg file in a text editor and change the entries that do not apply to your device. If you delete some individual entries, be sure to change the "CustomizedCount" DWord value to reflect the total number of additional favourites.

If you can't get an individual icon file for your chosen favourite(s) you should change the "CustomizedIcon" value in the relevant key to:

HH_INTERNET_ITEM_ICON.bmp

Hope that helps

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mskip:
Just a note: The Internet Icon at the top takes up soo much space, its pretty useless in my opinion so I resized it as well as the Highlight Bar so that you can view more items initially. See the following post for the thread I started a while ago. Resized images needed are attached at the bottom, just disable TouchFLO and copy the images across to the windows folder.

"Mail-Tab"-Design -> "Messaging"-Tab

Hello,

At first i have to say - i am german and my english isnt very well; So have fun at reading xP

I wanna change the skin of my messaging tab, so i can see my sms in the same design of my mails (with the envelope as background/as a letter). ()

I deleted the content of the messaging-tab an replaced it with the content of the mail-tab (in the xml-file).

After customizing the xml and restarting of the htc-app my messaging tab looked like the following picture"".

Customizing the customized mail-tab, so the texts will be displayed correctly will be easy, but...

I thought about it - "If there is no way to change the background etc. in the xml, this special things (background/no background at the mail-tab) must be specified in the compilated program" ((My thoughts are in german-language^^)) - Am I right, or is there a way to change it?

Greetings

PS: I googled, but there were nothing found by me, so i searched here, in my favourite forum, but didnt find this special thing.

Trouble Changing Background...

I am using TPC's Mega v.11 with the Moto Home, regular CHome, and M2D all included. Love the rom, but hate the M2D background. So I used M2DC to change the background image to a nice black marble texture. But then I noticed that whenever I touch the pictures tab as if to display pictures, the original background comes back on that tab, and sometimes the same happens on SMS/MMS tab. So I replaced hh_fw_background.png in Windows, but the problem persists. This doesnt make any sense to me, as the original hh_fw_background doesnt even exist anymore in Windows. Anyone know what is going on here maybe have insight how to fix it? I replaced the m2d taskbar and titlebar with .png's I made to match the marble bg, effectively making both bars disappear, and they work fine. Also when I used a straight black background image with M2DC, I noticed that whenever I switched tabs, the icons or text from the tab I was previously on remained on the screen, behind the icons/text of the tab that I switched to. Wierd

Edit: Nevermind I got it, theres another .png for when the tab's highlighted, a slightly brighter bg. I got it all together now tho. :) ooh i got me a text message

The only problem left is that the icons don't show up. If i tap and scroll the buttons it work's but i can't see them if i do nothing. I don't know how to explain it right so i show you what i mean with this picture . This icons can not be seen and i don't know why. I have copied all files to the windows directory and to windows\manilaGfx to be sure that no files are missing only for trying prupose. Im attaching the original working xml for the standart GFX theme and the xml for the new theme so you guys can maybe help me out with this. I even converted all images that was .bmp to png files and tried it because the old theme uses png files for the most. But it haven't changed anything on the problem.

edit: ok i did some research on the files and found out that the theme maker haven't include the right files. I opend the files and they are all blank so it can't show anything right.
