sorry, my hands are tied on this one at the moment..

i have tried using quickcab, made a proper settings file but quickcab just doesnt want to make the cab file under my vista64

im gonna have to figure another way to do them. Anyway i am open for suggestions. I really want to pack them in cabs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
Is there any way if this is made into either a cab or a theme file that it would include the battery and the start icons? i tried to get it to work by using total commander to move the manilla files about but it didnt work and im not sure what ive done wrong. im just gonna be patient and wait and see what happens with this because it looks like the best icons set i have seen so far on here.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gloom:
Giannis86, just one thing to say : Great job

It's amazing how nice those icons are on my TP.

By the way, wanted to ask you if you were planning to port the TF3D icons as above in the fire theme. Using RomOS and with the red default background, fire theme would be nicer :p

Anyway, I allready adopted the landscape fire theme and mixed it with handwrting font
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
yes the fire theme is on my things to do list...

as soon as i have enough time i will make them

@mightycaz..cant you see the new icons or total commander doesnt copy the files properly?

as about the taskbar icons they are by far not complete..

as i said, cab creation hasnt worked yet for me..i am following the instructions but i cant get it to work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
I dont know what has happened, total commander moved the files fine. Nothing seems to have changed i get no new icons for either battery, 3g or even the TF3D tabs. I dont mind waiting till it is all in one theme pack.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
you had to disable TF3D before moving the files and then re-enable it...

since it seems you didnt do that, do a soft reset and it should work

As about the 3G & battery icons, you are not supposed to see them as they are not included in any of the files above...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mightycaz:
I turned off TF3D and ive done countless SR's since moving the files about, any chance i could get a link to some detailed step by step instructions to how to do this?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
honestly what i posted in the 1st page is a very simple method..i works all the time for me..

1st of all and most important:

if you have the Diamond, the landscape icons WILL NOT work by default.

so make sure you get the portrait icons...

try this and see how it works

1. Disable TF3D

2. Soft-Reset

3. Move my files to your storage card (overwrite if prompted)

4. Open Total Commander and move the files to the Windows directory on your PHONE (there might be a windows directory in your storage card too. DONT choose that one)

5. Enable TF3D

6. If it still doesnt work try another softreset
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
Hi

Really love your work!! thed blue and white theme looks awesome!!!

I tried though to install the theme using the instructions above but hasn't worked for me? Would anyone know why it might not be appearing?

Thanks! and once again awesome work best theme i've seen so far :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
can you elaborate on what exactly doesnt work and the exact steps that you took?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
good news for those waiting for the fire portrait theme..i am working on it :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
Sure!

1. I downloaded the theme, transferred the folder to my documents in my

touch pro

2. Disabled the TF3D

3. Soft reset the phone

4. Used total commander to copy all the files to a new folder i created in the

windows directory on my phone

5. Enabled the TF3D

6. Soft reset

Also not sure if this will affect it but a while ago I previously tried to install another theme named 'ken diamond' through 'Diamond TF3D Config'. Would this have something to do with it?

Thanks :)

Oh and what doesn't work is that the theme, icons etc are not appearing at all it would still show up as my original theme that came with the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
there have been some cases where other themes interfeer. you could try uninstalling the theme first, install my icons and see what happens
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
How would i uninstall the other theme? as i used total commander to copy that particular theme's files to the windows directory of my phone?

So basically that theme and your blue and white theme are at the moment both in my windows directory...

Ta
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
thats the assumption..

anyway try these

1. Check under settings -->Today, that you have a stock htc theme enabled

2. If everything fails, use Diamond TF3D to revert your theme to default. Once that is done you can try and see if my files work for you

glad to hear that it works btw
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
Hi

Just a slight issue the transparent home selection tab does not come up as transparent? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
Welll it was pretty stupid of me i was transferring the actual folder containing the manila files instead of each manila file...oops...im a newbie to this :)

but you were right after again following your original instructions it definitely worked.

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nghiem:
Carbon fiber alike backgrounds?

Great job. Thanks for your hardwork, Giannis86.

How's about some carbon fiber backgrounds in Landscape mode and Blue Volume Bars? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
hmm, i'll make sure i include that in the instructions so that people dont get confused..

so does the transparent home selection work for you or not? i will be back at home around 11 o clock tonight so i can check it out and see if its good..

@Nghiem

i already made blue volume bars, what exactly do you mean?

as about landscape mode i can try but its very hard. I can easily make carbon buttons (behind the icons) but the background is limited to a png of 4x4 pixels if i remember right..i will give it a shot and let you know
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
Same problem with me. i been doing it over and over. i really want the updated fire icons but cannot seems to make it happen. Please help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
Have you read the replies above?

maranth had the same issue and solved it..

first of all make sure you copy the manila files to the correct path (windows directory on your phone, not the memory card.)

Also make sure that you copy the manila files ONLY. So NOT the actual folder that contains those files. COPYING THE FOLDER AS A WHOLE WILL NOT WORK

if it still dosnt work try this.

diamond TF3D config to restore the default theme and then use my icons

let me know how that works out

these manila files are universal for all roms so i dont see a reason for why it shouldnt work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
cab

If I only had a cab file, i would be enjoying the view on my touch pro. I have given up, and my newbie brain cannot make it happen without a cab. Love your icons and themes though
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
I have read every thread. I have been able to transfer manila files to change the clock transparency and slider. but for some reason-i just cannot get your themes to werk, i turn of tf3d restart, instal with Total com. Then enable tf3d and restart. Along with several variations of that. Maybe if I uninstal the diamond tf3d program first?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
dont unistall the program itself..

within the program click on appearance and then restore the default

after that follow the instructions carefully (use the ones from the new fire icons thread. you can find the link in the first page(latest update))
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
Beautiful!!! thanks. i only have the landscape fire loaded. Next I will try the rest. My problem was as you described. I really appreciate your work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Nghiem:
I mean the black carbon fiber look in the blue volume background. Thank you for your effort.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
im glad it worked..

i'll change the instructions a bit to make them more clear for those having problems

@nghiem, honestly i have no clue how to do that at the moment
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
Great Job!

I am such a fan. My phone is all tricked out with the blue icons. Simple and gorgeous. You do excellent work!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
yes i think that will help heaps..especially to those of us who are new to this...

No the transparent home selection tab is not working, thanks for your help on this will....My phone is looking really hot at the moment with the blue and white theme all my mates love it!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
i updated the instructions already..i believe it is much clearer now.

anyway, i just checked the transparent selection and it is working just fine

i think you might be confused as to what it does.

it makes the selection colour of the Calender and clock invisible. So it will not affect the selection of the clock..If you want i can make a zip that makes the clock selection also invisible (but that will be later in the day :D )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maranth:
Oh ok thanks for clarifying, i assumed that when selecting icons in the bottom menu of the TF3D it would instead have a transparent/glass effect instead of a grey/black square. No worries thanks again :)

Just one more question how would i remove that option? (Transparent selection) Would i just need to delete those manila files? I started to delete a manila file e.g. (00ad7edb_manila) associated with this option but then a saw another manila file with the exactly the same code... I just want to make sure i don't delete the wrong files.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
if you delete exactly the same files as in my zip it will restore to default

the good thing about manila files is that all of them are stored in your ROM. So even if you delete the wrong one it will be replaced by the original file
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dncr3d1bl3latno8:
Great work Giannis86. I never thought something like this can be done on this phone. And I just recently found out bout this webpage and ppcgeeks. this is my first PDA phone and i tried it and it came out succesful. the fire one rock!

One favor though i notice that the sprint tv icon its regular and u dont have it on ur icons neither. Is there a way you can make one for it, or if there are any instuctions to make it I would appreciate it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
can you maybe provide me a screenshot as to which icon you mean?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dncr3d1bl3latno8:
how do i add my screen shot. its asking me to enter the URL, but my screen shot its on my desktop

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
wow..never seen that before..i dont have the sprint version..

anyway i could make some icons but then i dont kow which manila files are responsible for it

if you can post the manila files, i can modify them for you..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dncr3d1bl3latno8:
ya is for Sprint.. so how do i find out where the manila files are located at?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shadowhawk2020:
For some reason I can't get this to work in landscape on my Pro... It may be the only reason I may get tid of it :( Which sucks because it goes great with my classic Tampa Bay bucs background.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
have you followed the instructions AND note carefully?

if everything fails, you can try to restore the default theme with TF3D config and then install my icon set.

@dncr3d1bl3latno8

there should be 2 files. 1 is responsible for the Tray icon and 1 for the Hero (the selected icon)

you can try this. Copy the manila files of your phone on a folder on your pc..then use manila editor. When you open the folder within manila editor, you will see on the left the names of the manila files and on the right you will see what icon is in it..So basically you want to find the ones which have the same sprint TV icons that you have now...

if you can post those 2 files for me, i can modify them with some fire icons

It might sound like a lot but i cant do anything as i do not have those sprint tv manila files..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dncr3d1bl3latno8:
this is the only icon i found from manila. i tried searching for the two files here and over at ppcgeeks but couldnt find it... i guess im just gonna ask
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Great work.

I do have a "tweak" problem though.

I tried the blue and white theme... I opened up the PNGs in the folder and did some editing ((mostly hue changes)) and saved them , all file names the same.

THEN

I copied over the manila files and the PNGs, it loaded up as you said they would.....BUT its displaying the original blue and white PNGs ??

I tried to open your Manilas to see what the problem could be they seem encrypted ?

Basically to make it into a question..

How can I edit one of your themes so I can have my own PNGs ?

I also wanted to change the names of the titles under each icon I figure theyd be in the manillas but cant open.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
as its mentioned in the instructions, you do NOT copy the png icons, ONLY the manila files.

the manila files contain the pngs, so you have to use manila editor to edit them
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] caddieguy02:
i was wondering if there is a tutorial on how to make our own landscape layout lke the ones u have in the 1st post...i like acouple of ur icons inside the sets...but there are other icons id like to see in place of some others and i like to have one in a color that u dont have...im not sure u take requests and i didnt wanna bother u with it if u did...im willing to try myself..im pretty good with this kinda stuff but i dont use this site much...ima ppcgeeks guy...so are there any tutorials??? thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sumo911:
Giannis, thanks for the icons! I am enjoying them very much. Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
honestly it is very simple..

download manila editor and open the folder with the manila files. You can hit the replace button to change an icon

remember this:

use the same size! (pixel format is given by manila editor so just look at that)

use png icons

for best results make sure that the background of you png is transparant

once you edit those files, copy them to your phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
I have done this. Manila editor cuts off my icons. Ive tried my own and Ive tried the ones you included. Nothing seems to work. Any tips ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=414861&page=50
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
what do you mean it cuts off the icons? are you sure you are using the proper size? every tab has 2 icons.

selected (Hero) = 128x128 pixels

unselected (Tray) = 64x64 pixels
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
For landscape (wide) mode.

Thats what my link was inferring.

I know what you mean for the regular menu but when keyboard is open.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] russianrick:
manilla files that enable landscape mode

I noticed that you have a lot of mods for landscape mode when it is already there, but do you know which manilla files make the landscape mode appear at all? I have a couple of themes that don't have the landscape mode used by the Touch Pro. I guess that would be fine for the Diamond, but I need the landscape home screen also.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
it is possible for the diamond, however i have no clue how to enable it. auto gyrator can display landscape menu, however it doesnt the same..

there was a rom that would do the job properly but i cant remember which

@kof

im not sure why the editor is causing that :S

as soon as you are using png icons of the proper size it should work...(by the way, for landscape mode its 128x128)

make sure you have tf3d disabled before copying the manila files. If everything fails try a soft reset
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] moldhamXDA:
Restore to default?

Gotta say, I really love these pics. Great work!

If I overwrite an original manila file using Total Commander, how do I restore the original manila files and revert to default? Will the Diamond TF3D Config's "Restore Default" option work even though I didn't use its "Select Theme" function to change the theme in the first place?

Related question: if I delete any given manila file, will WM6.1 automatically re-create it on next soft reset (like when you delete an IE index.dat file, XP re-creates it on restart for system stability)? If not, are they restored on hard reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
diamond tf3d will do the trick

whenever you delete a theme manila file, the ROM will automatically replace it without the need for a reset. (diamond TF3D requires you to soft reset though)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] moldhamXDA:
Thanks

Thanks. After installing the manila files, the icons in the tray are good to go and look wonderful except that whenever a tray icon is selected, it's my default icon. Any thoughts?

I copied all the manila files from the "Blue & White Portrait Icons" zip first, and I had this problem. So I thought by copying the files from the "Blue & White Portrait IDENTICAL TABS" zip it might fix the problem, but the problem was still there (screenshot as shown).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] whiteblazer01:
How do you change the color? I want a red color to match my current theme. Can you make me one, or instruct me on how to do this myself?

Also, how can I change the color of the clock numbers?

Thanks!

EDIT: I want to integrate this Comm Manager theme into my Dark Red theme, but I can only find it in a .theme file. How can I integrate this part of one theme into another? Original theme is here. http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/

EDIT: I actually opened the .theme file in winrar, and extracted the .png files for the Comm Manager status indicators. I've attached them here if anyone else wants them. Just copy them into your /Windows directory. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bojangalz:
Great Fire Theme! Just a couple of questions....

Giannis86:

This theme is exactly what I was looking for! Easily the best theme I've found. I'm a noob, so I've got a few questions if you'll bear with me... This was the first time I've edited my Reg or installed a theme of any kind. If there is a forum specificly for Noobies, please direct me to it...I looked and didn't see one. fyi- I'm on an Alltel Touch Pro CDMA.

Question one: The Slider on my TF3d doesn't cover the full icon. It's about 25% too narrow. Is this normal or is there something I can do to fix this?

Question two: My windows bar at the top and bottom of the page are still the default colors. Did I do something wrong when loading the theme or is there a way to manually change these to black? (Same question for the bars in landscape as well as the background color.)

Question three: For some reason my background image is still the same. And the image only appears on the Home screen. Is there a way to make that image appear in the background of of every TF3D page?

Question four: how do I get the image in the background of my start menu to corospond with the rest of this theme?

Again, I am very sorry for suck noob questions. I looked all over for a noobie thread and didn't find one. I truely love your theme (at least what I've been able to do so far). Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
1. i doubt its normal.the slider is covering the whole icon on mine..im not sure why this is happening though.

2. this theme did not include any modifications to the taskbar (icons and colour). The black taskbar that i have is from the htc black theme on my touch pro

3. Background image can be changed manually (on TF3D scroll to settings and then wallpaper

4. this is a more complicated procedure. The resolution of the image for the rest of the tabs is about half of that in the homepage. (im not sure if full res works properly). This means that if you use an image with high details it wont show very nice. i have attached a background which does show nicely. Follow the same method as the other modifications. If you dont like it you can delete those 2 files from your windows folder and it should revert to the original

attachments:

1. Background all tabs.zip (manila files required for the all tabs background)

2. flamingglasne5.jpg (the wallpaper i used in my screenshots. Place it on your phone and select it from tf3d settings)

3. background 3.jpg (the image that i used for the background for all tabs)
