hmmm, well I am sorry google code is giving you problems.. I am not sure why that would happen.

Can you download from sourceforge? I was thinking over moving hte project over there because I think I can get ftp access to upload the new releases, which would make the automation of the build/release process much less painful... well either way here is the cab that I release yesterday afternoon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
What doesn't work?

Does it not install correctly?

Does it not give you any options on what to enable/disable?

Does it fail when you press "Apply"?

Does it tell you that there was an error log written?

Do the settings that you changed not actually work?

Are you using the latest version? (downloaded from the link in the first post)

Not sure if it's already been requested, but I don't see it in the list:

Can we have an easy way to remove the "Call History" item from the Home widget? Would be great if we could have 2 lines worth of appointments instead, but if I could just get rid of it it'd be OK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
I will add it to the list... I read a post in one of these threads (maybe this one?) that said it was "easy" to hide the next appointment and missed calls... I was unable to find out how... if someone tells me I can have an update out tonight

I second that. FIrst off...great app and customizer. secondly...I agree there should be the ability to add plugins here and there. I dont think it should run like ultimate launch, but maybe one window to add the plugins for the custom feel.

I use O2 calandar and its a nifty plugin that displays calander events...would love to put this on my home screen.

Hi Mpenguin14 - great work with your development here. I'm using it on my Advantage x7510 and your background changer is the first ray of hope that we have to change the Manila color from the basic black on that device - our 5 inch VGA device has required a lot of work by others to have the QVGA rescaled for VGA.

Is it possible for the background changer to be written to also work with .tsk files rather than .png files? If not do you know how to convert .tsk files to .png. I see a great many VGA Themes out there but they are all .tsk. Thanks in anticipation of your help and comments.

VGA Backgrounds for use with Changer

I've finally found a host of VGA Wallpapers in jpeg format which I can resave as .png and use with your Background Changer. Works perfectly in portrait but blanks out the screen in Landscape. Can you help to resolve that issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is a great improvement as i have my favorite weather icons and they get overwritten by many themes... thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Just a curiosity mpenguin..... how come that the cab now is quite smaller than the previous versions? I saw it growing from one version to another and now it is smaller??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatnai:
1. Is there any way to incorporate this Operator page found here into M2DC if permision were given?

2. besides the weather icons, is it possible to keep other icons when changing themes such as the icon that shows when sliding the slider?

Thanks for the hard work, will miss the updates when you free trial is gone!!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
sounds good, I'm always glad to see M2DC getting international use

glad to hear it is working well for vga devices, as far as getting the png images from a tsk file I have posted instructions in this thread before... search for a program called "MSCEInf", you can use that program to open tsk and cab files and then you can see the png files that are in the tsk file

no problem, about a month ago before the fuze launched everyone was asking for this functionality, it took a while to figure out the best way to do it, but now that I have it set up to be able to exclude the weather tab settings and images it shouldn't be hard to add other tabs to exclude

not sure why your cab would be smaller, according to the google download page v0.25.225 is 747 KB and v0.24.223 was 723 KB, so I am not really sure

the operator tab settings have been around for the past 4 weeks (see post #767 in this thread) and people have asked for me to include the ability to add/edit the programs listed on that page, but I have been slow putting that together, and avellants program seems to do the job pretty good for now. So I am going to hold off implementing this functionality because I think that avellants application should work for most people

it is definitely possible to allow keeping other images the same way that the weather tab works, I think I will add support for keeping the "slide tab" images next, should be out next weekend or sooner if demand/donations are coming in strong

well thanks to kidnamedalbert for some help with my visual studio situation, I should be fine as far as the trial goes now

I am going to attempt to start making an android app tonight, a simple game, if it works out I will port it over to windows mobile
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robjhellis:
Further Background Changer issue.

Thanks mpenguin14 - I've downloaded MSCEIn so I'll play around with that some.

Is there any way to tweak the background changer to insert a correctly formatted Landscape background as well? Perhaps by having two selections on the Background Changer page? Contrary to my post above I am now seeing my chosen background in Landscape but its cut off at the right (I'm presuming because I used a portrait orientated .png file).

Alternatively, should I just be sourcing the portrait and landscape files I want, rename them and paste them into the windows dir.? If that is the simplest approach can you tell me what the file names are for the Backgrounds. I've searched the original directories but with so many files I'm missing the correct ones.

Thanks again for your support of this forum.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeeBlack:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
I hope MSCEInf works out for you.

AS far as landscape mode backgrounds you will have to do some xml editing of hte htchomesettings.xml file in order to get that to work, I will look into seeing what I can do to automate it, but basically Manila 2D is not very landscape friendly (probably because it is only meant for 3 devices and they are all "black slab" no keyboard portrait devices)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cobrax2:
hi, i think there is a bug. when selecting only digital clock in options, it changes the settngs for positioning the digital clocks. the digits get set one over the other and it is unusable... i tried this with twolf's black vista theme and also nova theme by spacemonkey

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Had that problem too today, apparently there only a default "big numbers" digital clock placement settings.

In my new skin I changed the images so that it works with the M2DC default order.

;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Savok:
Can you add an option like you did for weather, but for the homescreen? Some of my skins only use analog or digital clock and some use both and I would love it to just read the Homescreen xml file and load the correct clock(s) in the correct positions for that theme.

I keep having to go back to M2DC version 19 to do this, even with TouchFLO release 20 installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
hmmm, quite a few bug reports there... I will take a look at them all tonight if possible and see what I can do to figure out why they are happening

Strange...

I've been using this GREAT app since a long time ago. Almost flawless for me (I'm not a heavy user, btw). After last ROM flashed (Essential 3.5L) and with M2DC 0.26, my today screen look like the attached JPG. It's OK when I apply it, but after small changes (removing alarm icon), it looks like that.

It's the same TWolf's skin I always use (thanks TWolf), but it looks strange.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

There are in your M2DC folder on your device (if you installed it on it) or your SD Card, /program files/M2DC.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I didn't install it, it is cooked into a custom Rom and not in Program Files nor on the Storage Card...I assume the backup files are in \Windows\ but I don't know which files exactly :( The Manila2DConfig.exe is in \Windows.

Thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pokcheung2003:
is it possible that the m2dc can add more tabs for contacts???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Contacts and program setup are not backed up as it is a backup of the xml settings. After backing up you find in the M2DC folder the HTCHomeSettings-ActiveTheme.xml. You should use PIM backup for contacts and for program setup in the launcher tab you have to backup your registry settings HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D/Launcher, but if you mean a backup of the program files itself you need a backup software like sprite backup or spb backup. This programs do backup everything on your device and you can restore it after hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Not yet possible up to now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guido11:
I did it... but with the same results. In the moment I change anything (uncheck next alarm or analog clock), today screen looks strange again.

I don't want to mess it... it's just I don't like analog clocks.

Any other ideas ? Please don't tell me to reflash ROM again...

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
Open the "AvailableThemes.xml" file that is in your M2DC\Themes folder and remove the line that says <ThemeFolder path="\Path\To\Your\Old\Folder" />

I just overwrite the file "hh_fw_background.png" to change the background.

If you want to specify a different image for landscape you will have to modify the line

<Property name="IDTABWG_BACKGROUND_IMAGE" id="11" value="0, 0" />

and change the "0, 0" to "0, X" where X is the index of a image Element that you add to the <ImageList> node in the xml

since it is cooked into the rom the backups will be located in "\Windows" the specific files are DefaultThemeBACKUP.m2dct and HTCHomeSettings-BACKUP.xml

OK after looking into it I think I know the problem (feel free to let me know if I am wrong here)... The theme was not meant to display digital clock, so the values in the following reg keys are not correct?

You can edit the "value" of those lines to be the correct (x,y) coordinates that you want

Contacts

Is there anyway to change the view for contacts to make it have 4 colums or 5 colums.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I don't think so... in the HTCHomeSettings.xml, there is for the people widget no values for rows or columns, that is also the reason why up to now nobody succeeded in increasing the quantity of contact tabs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donnasess:
1. My last update (1.0.1820.3328) fixed my screen-overlapping problem. Thx. Now in my text message screen, the only way I can send a new text is by clicking on "all messages" then going into the menu and doing a "new sms". Neither the "menu" nor the new text icon work. I have re-installed multiple times.

2. On the main screen, once I've unchecked the digital clock, I cannot get it back up nor can I tap on the clock and get to the alarm for editing.

3. Where do I apply the "hh_fw_title" file in order to have a transparent title bar? It's worked in the past when I've used it with a theme, but can't seem to get it to work with the default screen. (sorry if wrong post - can you direct me to the right one if there is one?)

4. One last thing...my phone tends to freeze up and has been doing it ever since I've been using TouchFlo. Have any suggestions/ideas?

Hey, did I tell you how much I LOVE this program otherwise?!?!?!?!

Thanks mpenguin14 and claus1953!

Strangely enough the file DefaultThemeBACKUP.m2dct was in \Windows\Themes\ and HTCHomeSettings-BACKUP.xml was in \Windows\ [NFSFAN'S Rom]

And I wasn't looking to backup my actual contacts or programs, just the shortcut locations on the grids in M2D, and backing up the registry [HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D] was the perfect solution! Thanks for that.

Awesome program, the support and depth of knowledge on here never ceases to amaze, you'll be seeing a donation from me as soon as I've got the cash to spare. :)

One quibble, the font colour on the People tab... is it possible to change it to white/a lighter shade? As it is, it's black font on a grey background, nearly invisible outside, or at anything but the perfect viewing angle, right now. Probably involves a little registry editing, though I'm just starting out with it, and hesitant to mess with things that could brick my phone quite so easily, so shooting into the dark myself is a little daunting, to say the least. Ideas?

Edit: Got into the Manila2d under HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D/FONT/Widget/People/ContactName/0 ... but it's got no entries to start with, I'll see if I can figure out a dword value to add in, if that's the solution..

on the tab with 1 day weather, the location text is much too high (in the middle of the page. I need to bring it down to be right above the weather status (the "rainy", "foggy" text)

also, the separator line is not visible. if someone could also help me get the separator to show up between the "rainy"/"foggy" etc line and the location text I would be more than grateful!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
For some reason this topic has been coming up a lot in the past couple of days. You can change the number of contacts and the number of rows / columns, it is just very very difficult and annoying. Herg first posted on this about 6 weeks ago in the xml reference thread You can follow his post to add more rows. In order to change the columns you have to change even more xml and some xml files as well, it is really a pain and I doubt I will even implement it in M2DC.

1 - That i a problem with M2D, it is documented in the Manila 2D release thread

2 - Make sure you are running the latest version of Manil2D customizer, if it still doesn't work post a link to the skin you are trying to use, some themes don't support the digital clock

3 - It all depends on you "\Widnows\HTCHomeSettings.xlm" file, try opening that and figuring out the path

4 - Not sure, ask in the Manila 2D release thread

It is possible to put the internet tab stuff into M2DC, it will just take a few week until I have time to focus on M2DC again

as far as multiple appointments on the home screen, there is no way to do that now

no problem, I will be updating that later on this morning

I took a look at your xml and am not really sure, did you make any specific xml updates yourself?

the RECT elements have either 4 or 8 numbers after them. If there are 8 then that means that you should look at it like 2 sets of 4 number, the first set being portrait, and the second set being landscape). The numbers are arranged as (TopLeftX, TopLeftY, RectangleWidth, RectangleHeight)

The POS elements has either 2 or 4 comma separated numbers, If there are 4 then look at is as 2 sets of 2 number, the first set being the portrait coordinate, and the second set being the landscape coordinate.

Looking at the values from your xml, the number 666 is used... and most likely you are using a qvga screen and you shouldn't have any coordinates with a value of 666

good luck

On a M2DC related note, I was surprised when I did a google search on it today, there are a lot of mentions of it and I am grateful for that. I am especially impressed with softpedia they give credit to me and have a very well put together and updated page with the M2DC cab and changelog. I was also a little bit disappointed because I found one person selling M2DC, I am not mad about that, because M2DC is GPL software, which means anyone and everyone is welcome to use it however they like which includes taking my code and making their own version, or even selling it for profit. I am not sure if the site is following all of the GPL requirements though(giving me full credit and including the source code), that is something to look into later.

Thanks for all the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:

thanks for the help.. i fixed eveything but the separator.. for some reason bringing the separator pos1 and pos2 into the screen also brings the 4 day forecast into view.. but that is strange beacuse beyondinvisible seemed to be able to hide them and have the separator line.. weird

is there a way to change the font used? it looks like his font here is different in the preview (look at the big temperature it seems slenderer than standard m2d)

I have a new bug! :D

In my latest skin, when selecting the home tab items, he completly ignores our requests and disables all but the missed calls item.

I added a "fixed" xml on the skin post:
