Better extract the zip archive on your pc and then copy them to your PDA.

Hi vit4u,

i found the problem of the first line being scrambled. There's a position parameter in the mode9 file which is not accurate in the original version of the 5c9aa261. With the correct setting the pics from hometab and all other tabs are slighty shifted, hard to notice but not quite perfect.

I'm still in the office, will upload what i have when i'm home.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vit4u:
Great! Not urgent at all :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
hm no...when i use the manila file 5c9aa261_manila from this post...works fine...no strips...but on the program and music player menu i got a problem like in the photo posted by gierran (first 2 lines use the background image).

If I use the other manila file 5c9aa261_manila from the other post....i got black strips (or seems like photo get cutted) in the top. But the program and music player menu are ok.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
interesting ... what timestamp has the 5c9aa261_manila you have on your device?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
doh...I am sorry!

I didn't see u've changed the file:

"NOTE to all who already downloaded the zip: i accidentially packed an old version of 5c9aa261_manila, which has the error with backgrounds. Please download the correct version attached here."

I now downloaded the new file and updated and works!!!!

It was my fault...sorry!

Thank you very much for your support ... nice work...hehe :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
wonderful!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
hmm.....i experienced another problem...maybe I am wrong:

The touch flo 3d icons .... (or the slider) moved up just for a while...and when scrolling over....the icons doesn't match with the others!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vit4u:
Actually, I don't recall how scrolling was working on the original screen. Currently when I'm scrolling, the highlighted icon changes once it approaches the next icon on the ribbon.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gierran:
6Fg8,

System.IO.IOException: Il processo non può accedere al file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Gierran\Documenti\TABS FULL VIEW\Xperia2.png' perché è in uso da un altro processo

translation is:

System.IO.IOException: Process not access to file'C:\Documents and Setting\Gierran\Documenti\TABS FULL VIEW\Xperia2.png' because it in use by other process

But process (I think Xperia2.png) is in control only by m9 editor. No other open program has control on it...

Now I'll erase all early files with manila customizer to restart with original manilas files of touch HD and repeat again u step 1 and step 2, meanwhile I wait u feedback.

thx again

Last questions:

1 - if I try to save correctly my file png (named Xperia2) to qtc, I'll have a new Xperia2.qtc or Xperia2.png?

2 - If Xperia2 remain a png file, I have to associate it with a 4a087e41_manila by manila editor?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Human_Typhoon:
I wrote here after i have extracted and copied them in PDA ;D

I have not copy the archive in PDA but the files inside of it.

...so what can i do to solve this problem?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Both slider and tabstrip didnt change position. With a nontransparent slider you cant see whats behind, but now the slider is translucent, so you're able to see through whats underneath. You're right, the icons on the slider are 2 or 3 px higher than the ones on the bar in the background. Thats how HTC implemented it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Looks like another program has your file open. Close all programs before you open the png in m9editor.

When you save the file as QTC in m9editor, choose 4a087e41_manila as filename when asked for. It will be written in QTC format, regardless of the filename and extension you specify. You will never have a .qtc extension because such a extension doesnt exist. QTC is the format (content) of the file. It doesnt depend on the filename or extension. Dont believe me? Open it with notepad. You will see lots of garbage, but the first 4 characters are "QTC1". That counts, nothing else :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
ok, i see. Open 2 windows, one with the extracted files from your local disk, and another where you can see the content of your pda, especially the \Windows folder of your device. Now drag the files from your local disk directly to the windows folder in the other window.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
Yes....hehe....is there a way to put them on the right position ? :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
I'd suspect yes, but i'm afraid no one didnt find him :p (not even sure if anyone searched for). I'll try to find out, if i succeed i'll post it here of course. Stay tuned :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
ok.... :D

I'm waiting your news...thank you :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Human_Typhoon:
Sorry for the translation but probably is wrong...btw not copy!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
@vit4u: here's a zip with 2 adjusted manilas. Could you try them please and tell me if it worked? From what i've seen it would be best to remove the background pic from the hometab at all (settings, select background, if asked to use the default background choose "yes").

I know that sounds weird, but removing the background from hometab will not actually give you the default b/w pic but will use the 4a087e41_manila in hometab as well.

Greetings to St. Petersburg!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vit4u:
Yeah! Thanks for both correction and greetings :-) My wife has been in Vienna (without me) and absolituely loved your city and country!

So, what did you do to fix that problem? Can I just build a new 4a087e41_manila to replace the picture? The same rules for cropping/resizing?

One observation about the picture quality. It looks like all these actions that are performed on original picture result in some quality loss. The background of my pic is not as smooth as on original.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Isotopes:
Thx 6Fg8 for your great work.

On any Tabs i found an ugly override of the tabicons.

Inspired from your work i have modified this plus any ideas from me.

Now here is my work:

- 5c9aa261_manila - modified the Previewbackground of the slideeffect (now it's override the transparent tabslider)

- 72ac571f_manila - modified the height of the Background from the forecast, see weathertab (background and tabstripes have the same amount)

- 190f7f60_manila - modified the viewport of the album-tab (the Images stack has override the tabicons)

- 6c422ab4_manila - modified the listview of peoples on the people-tab (has overide the tabicons)

- 1864da05_manila, 18c460d8_manila - also included no curtains of TabBackground and TitleBar
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Toggs:
To show my thanks for the help here's my first background.

Won't appeal to all but maybe some.:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Yes, Vienna is a great city too :) Next time you should accompany your wife, definitely.

To fix that i did some adjustments in 5c9aa261_manila, its not the same as in the first post of this thread. You can replace the picture too, but use different values: cut 53 px from top (1 less), then cut 50 px from bottom (same as before), then add 55 px to the right border (1 less) and resize to 512x512 as before.

The picture quality isnt as good as when you use it as background on the hometab, unfortunately. On the hometab a png is used which has a much deeper resolution than the QTC format which is used for the rest of the tabs. With current knowledge it isnt possible to change that. That might change in the future when lua-scripts for manila can be developed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
You're right, i didnt take care 'bout that. Just installed your modifications, looks amazing. Thanks!

Just one suggestion: when removing the top curtain completely there's an ugly 1px stripe across the screen, at the top of the background. Thats what i discussed with vit4u here. Could you adopt 5c9aa261_manila i posted for him? There's a correction included for this problem.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sitaniace:
please help!!for blackstone

can some one please convert this foto to manila file :)i want to use it for all background.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Isotopes:
Through my dark background, I have not seen that, but you're right. Here again, the new fixed file with modified Previewbackground for override the transparent tabslider.

Now I must modified my background to enlarge one pixel. :mad:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
here you are, have fun!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sitaniace:
wow thanks thats fast!!

:D:):):)thanks a lot
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sriramkrishnan06:
I copied all manilas except for 18c460d8_manila which is meant for top curtain...and it looks perfectly fine
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sk806:
Editing Picture

OK, I have followed just about every thread on this topic since day 1, and there has been incredible progress. I can now have the background in all tabs with no missing strip and full screen/no curtains, thanks to 6Fg8 and Singh.

My problem is formatting the background picture for insertion/creation of the 4a087e41_manila file. I always wind up with weird "circles" of pixelation that really mess up the whole deal :(

I see lots of other backgrounds people have done on the boards that do not have this effect (or much less pronounced). I have tried the method at the beginning of this thread as well as most (if not all) of the suggestions in other threads. Any ideas as to what I am messing up? If it matters I use PS CS 3 on a MAC for graphics. Could someone try to make this background into a manila file and see if they get the rings?

I attach the background I am currently trying to use and a screen shot of how it looks on my phone.

As always, thanks in advance for any input.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
I just noticed that any slider I put in seems to have a little transparency.. is that a product of one of your files, 6Fg8? Possibly the ransparent bottom bar?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
You have to remove the top curtain completely to see what i mean.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
the slider opacity is controlled in 5c9aa261 and i set it there. so if you use the one from this thread, yes, every slider will have some transparency.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
sorry to tell you there's no way around that (at least now), cause its a matter of the picture format. the qtc1 format used on HTC devices makes small files but lacks on quality to some degree. as long as there's no way to write custom lua scripts this cant be changed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sk806:
Ahhhh....thought this might be a product of the conversion to qtc, but hoped there was something I could do on the graphics end. Anyway, thank you SO MUCH for your work on this, as it has really made the HD much more fun to use :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Toggs:
Thats because of the smooth gradation of the background image. In photoshop add a tiny amount of noise to the pic and it should be fine
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
perfect, thanks again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gierran:
Isotopes,

thanks very much.

After a lot checks with u 5c9aa261_manila I have finally a full size bckg without any trasparency and horrible two strips inside all programs in program tab!!!

Also 72ac571f_manila has a better look of original manila.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Human_Typhoon:
Could i use a cab to solve my problems? Is there a cab to have ad image for all tabs?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sk806:
Hmmmm...will give that a shot. Thanks.

EDIT: Worked BRILLIANTLY! Thanks so much :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:

here too. the slider is slightly higher than the bar underneath. unresolved at the moment.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lone:
I have the same error and found out I don't have .NET Framework 3.5 on my comp (a m9editor requirement). After installing it, it works fine. For peeps with this issue, you can download .NET 3.5 here:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
The slider in that picture is slightly transparent... that's what shows the icon underneath. Is that because of your modification?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Hi --- can someone upload the original manila files --- so If I mess something up, I have somewhere to backup!!!! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
You don't need them. They should all be in your rom so just delete all the files that end in _manila and it should re-install them for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
you can also use manila customizer to restore to factory default...it's faster ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
They cant be deleted!!!!! -- I have to hard reset to get em back!!! so please upload them!!!! -- I just, almost bricked my THD!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
BTW-- I cant copy the manilla files to my THD-- it shows --canot copy write protected or read only(somthing like that) ---- I turned off touchflo and reseted my THD and I still cant copy them into the device!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
thanks for this tip. I'm a bit surprised that it will even try to start without the framework.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
You're right, the slider is transparent, i set that in the 5c9aa261_manila. In fact its not completely transparent, just a touch of opacity.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
I did delete them a hundred times, and got back the versions from the ROM. For me it even works doing that from activesync. Dont know why it doesnt work on your device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nestea:
I have the same problem. Will you help me to convert it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
to fit the pic 100% you've to start with 480x800, nothing else. Here's a table with the steps and the resulting pic sizes:

initial size: 480 x 800

cut 54 px from top: 480 x 746

cut 50 px from bottom: 480 x 696

increase width by 56 px: 536 x 696

resize the picture: 512 x 512

The final resize must be done without aspect ratio adjusting which is done by most graphic programs automatically. You have to disable that, or it wont work. The final picture size is

always

512x512.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
From what i could see in the error reports there are 2 different problems:

- if dotnet framework 3.5 is not installed it will crash. There's nothing i can do about. Just make sure the framework is installed and it should be fine

- crashes related to ATI_TC_ConvertTexture: i'm working on that, should be fixed in the next release

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
Would it be possible to have a version of 5c9 with no transparency?

I can build that into the slider files itself so this should alllow more flexibility.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lcp12345:
Oh! I think I have missed something about the dotnet ver3.5. I will check if I have that in phone or not as I have not installed it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :
Could there be made a .cab to have an all black background for all tabs?

That would be really great!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
you dont need it on the phone, only on your pc when converting from png to qtc1
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
yes i can make a version without transparency.

will post one in the evening (currently in the office).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
here's the 5c9aa261 without slider transparency
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gierran:
6Fg8,

tested. It's all Ok!!!

Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gierran:
6Fg8,

this is result for me on touch hd with u last 5c9aa261_manila. For weather tab I also used 72ac571f_manila (thx Isotopes).

Note Step 2: after cut, resize and save jpeg as png, instead to open m9 editor (I had always error during save process) I chosen open manila editor and matched file png with file 4a087e41_manila. Then with a hex editor to change same values (Nisse' s method). That was fine for me. And quality of png is very high respect at jpeg file used in home tab (thx to Kalos).

Thx again
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Great that it worked finally.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
I have a question.

If I have the "no curtains.cab" file from NisseDILLIGAF (see attachment),

and respective manila file for all backgrounds, should I have to copy yr manila file 5c9aa261_manila to win directory as well, or just bg manila (4a087e41_manila) is enough?

And second question (sorry to be so curious :))

What program to use to "cut" pixels?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
hey i tried and did the same as you wrote....but on the right side...in my case..i see just 1 px line (white) ....grr...any ideas ? ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
ok...so i found a solution for the 1 px error on the right side:

step 1: prepare the image (and save in .png)

as said before follow these steps:

initial size: 480 x 800

cut 54 px from top: 480 x 746

cut 50 px from bottom: 480 x 696

increase width by 55 px: 535 x 696 *** so here i put 535 and not 536

resize the picture: 512 x 512

step 2: use manila editor and hex

step3: copy the new manila file to /windows with the last 5c9aa261_manila posted here....

and voila.....it works..... :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
here are the results....of 2 themes...just unrar them and copy only the manila files in /Windows !!

http://rapidshare.com/files/190773829/themes.rar
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
if you used the 5c9aa261 from post #82 you've to add only 55px to the right margin. This version corrects the 1px distorted line on top of the pic which is only visible when top curtain is removed. I'll update post #1 with the new 5c9aa261 and a corrected description.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
i used the last one....but...seems working good.....i used manila editor....and there is no problems with the touch flo....icons are ok.... :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
here are the screenshots:

and

seems ok... :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:

HELP - what am I doing wrong with backgrounds

Hi

I have running: "NisseDILLIGAF NoTopCurtain" and "Singh's Tings TF3D 15-Tab "

I read through this whole thread and can't find the solution.

I would like a blank screen - black background on all Tabs.

I copied the files 4a087e41_manila and 5c9aa261_manila using total commander and soft reset (after first doing the TF3D unselect and then re-select). These files were from the black attachment in page 1 of this thread.

Nothing happens !! I still get the crappy HTC background that looks like a set of bathroom tiles!

Do I need to copy some other files to my \windows directory ? if so which. If not why when I take the two new ones above does it not work.

Thanks for any advice, D.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morosito:
you don't need to soft reset ....before copying the manila files deactivate touch flo (in today options) and then copy the files to /Windows....and at the end reactivate the touch flo....

============================

With this shortened png. files converted lately to manila ones, the bg appears short which is clearly visible when no curtains.cab is applied.

Can someone convert it 4 all tabs. Would be very nice. Big Thanks. (second one is .png)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] InsjaHH:
At first I didn't even realized the 1 px off at the top of the background image. When I saw there was a fix (the one in post #82), you needed to use that one and set the 55px instead of 56px.

But whatever I do or use as cropping / scaling, I now see an 1px off at the *bottom* of the background image. Can anyone confirm this? You can easily see this when you use the original background in 480x800 size for the home screen and switch between tabs.

Steps I've used:

Used the manila in post #82.

Initial size: 480 x 800

cut 54 px from top: 480 x 746

cut 50 px from bottom: 480 x 696

increase width by 55 px: 535 x 696 *** so here i put 535 and not 536

resize the picture: 512 x 512

Even with 55px or 56px, I still see the 1px off bottom. When I use the initial manila, I get the 1px off top.

I'm confused.
