good new!!

I have to thank mun_rus. Finally I can use same home bckg also for 4bckg and without loss of quality image!!

If u have installed any jpegs file for u home tab, now with a mun_rus's cab u can have same size and same quality image also on all bckg tabs!!!

I like full blue or black bckgs with translucid effects and finally I can have same size and color gradients like a bckg home tab (jpeg or png).

to 6fg8..

the m9editor crashes when I open the 5c9aa261_manila file downloaded from it (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3273729&postcount=1)

Does this mean a bug with you or a badly compiled m9 file?

go to link:

then download mun_rus's cab and install to device.

After go to setting and change any wallpaper u have installed. That's all.

If u have just installed two wallpaper above try them.

Hei --- could someone upload all the tab icons which are shown in this picture at the bottom -- really liked them- nice & clean!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Isotopes:
For me, too. :confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
It's a "bug" in m9editor, well, hm ... at least kind of. The file contains empty values, which i didnt encounter in the standard mode9 files on my HD (so didnt prepare m9editor for that). Easy to fix though, will correct that in the next version.

LATE BREAKING NEWS

problem fixed, so you can open and edit to your desire. Its more of a quick hack, so if you experience difficulties, please let me know.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigdeal88:
thanks! really appreciate it!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Dear friend, could you please explain what are the advantages or disadvantages, or differences of your method, compared to the one given by mun_rus, NisseDilligaf and other people involved in creating BG4AllTabs? From the simple user's point of view mun_rus's method does not require any editing, chopping pixels from here and there, stretching and etc. - all of them not easy to be understood by a regular user. I really mean no offense at all, and greatly appreciate all the hard labor any of you put in anything to make HTC owners happier, but is it everyone's goal to make things simple?

I would highly appreciate such a simple explanation, because there are so much threads on the topic, that i really got a total mess in my head at the end. :) Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nixx-X1:
- By default there is a default background for all tabs this is embedded in the manila structure. it's a perspective rendering of a tiled grid based on the 6c658481_manila qtc.

- By default it is possible load a external image file to replace the rendered background in the Home tab only.

The methode of NisseDilligaf and others replace the 3d rendered grid by a shared manila graphic file.

This file has a restricted ratio of 1x1 and usually is 512x512pixels.

This has a few drawback:

- the space to be filled is 480x696 pixels > this means stretching of the 512x512px file.. which leads to lesser quality.

- the fact that an user has to manually edit a png file to crop, resize and convert it to a qtc file

- qtc files have a lower color bitdepth (less then 24 bits) which makes it impossible to create a fluent gradientramp.

The methode of Mun_Rus is a different one.

What he did is to take the default function of loading an external image from the home tab and managed to link this function to all other tabs.

The main benefit in this is that you keep a good colordepth (native to the image, not to the manila qtc bitdepth) and there is no need for complex editing to use something a background.

you can reload it any where any time.

I read about the slowing down factor.

I think this is indeed caused by the loading from disc and perhaps the bigger size and more color data the external files have

I'm not sure whether the image after the first time is loaded into manila's memory..

The reason there are several old mods is because there were some issues concerning the right size (missing a few pixels) and bad interpretation of the rescaling (the upper and lower pixel colors where blended which resulted in bad edge color on top and below)

__________

edit.. i kinda missed the part where you addressed this to 6fg8.. :)

Guess there are more friends out here ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
He he... nice :) Now it's a bit more clear to me. I really started to get headache circling like a stupid duck through all threads related to TF3D themes.

:) To be honest I don't really notice some slow down in mun_rus's method, but may be that's because I became too lazy to install?uninstall cabs, TFconfigs and other stuff. :) Thanks again for the answer and honors to all that contribute to this useful forum.

edit

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

Good to have friends everywhere.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Here's your simple answer: the method of mun_rus was not available at the time i created this thread. I'm not aware of Nisse's solution for the background for all tabs, maybe i've missed that. And, as i stated in the first sentence: people asked, i answered.

EDIT: Thanks nixx for the perfect explanation :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Thank you as well. As i said congrats for all members here, that put their efforts for users like myself. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
I think, but it's only a guess, that the slowdown is not only for greater bit depth (surely not because the image is read from disc: also modded 4a087e41_manila is read from disc) but also because qtc compression make it faster. I've read here, in development thread where a new compression method has been introduced, that images compressed with new format are read faster than images compressed in qtc, that is faster than standard compression formats (png, jpg and so). So, my guess is that the native jpg format could be nicer (could, since with my bkg image is the same) but is much more slower.

Ok, finally a thread where I hope I get my solution.

Installed a theme which was supposed to give transparent feel to the icons (Holy.cab found in this forum). But then, did not like it and uninstalled it.

But what happened is that the task bar at the lower part, which was a clean black one, has now got a shade of white and it sucks! :(

Can some one let me know how to get this fixed on my HTC HD?

Resolution for Backgroung

I saw that some of you have the same problem like me before, that so soon if I want to do a background for all tabs in 512x512 resolutions it won’t function but so soon if I change it into 256x256, it shows.

What was the problem I couldn’t understand why, till I found out, that the problem is not by editing the picture, it was the problem of copying and pasting the 2hex file for manila.

The Hex program just copy the 2hex for manila but it did not paste the complete Hex line into the Picture (manila). Ether by the beginning, the digit "51" was missing or it doesn’t overwrite the old string.

After controlling the string and copy paste manually, everything was working well.

My excuses for my english :p

Just for your information.

-

thank you, 6Fg8 for your great explanation,

i've got normal working 4a087e41_manila with my desired background,

the problem is 5c9aa261_manila [ i use manila v3.0.38 from duttys 1.8 hd extreme rom ] and your provided 5c9aa261_manila messes up my setup.

i've attached my original 5c9aa261_manila if you could be so kind fixing it to work with 4a087e41_manila.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] IceBone:
I don't have a 4a087e41_manila in the Windows dir. :S
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nixx-X1:
that's cuz you probably have a manila with landscape feature..

that's a new version.. the manila files are hidden.

but besides that.. this tweak (or any other that are not for manila 2) doesn't work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxenart:
Hi, can u help me please? I tried to replace the 5c9aa261_manila with the original one in the Windows Dir, but it won't let me replace/delete/move it... :S I've even disabled TouchFlo 3D and soft resetted the phone, and it won't work... Help please? Thanks in advance!

Btw, I've no 4a087e41_manila in my Windows Dir too... Anyone found a fix? I'm using Davideuck's V-6 ROM....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nixx-X1:
mmh..if i check the features of that rom it already has munrus background 4 all tabs in it.

no need to hack it with this one then :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] IceBone:
It doesn't switch to landscape, when I tilt it. And I set "show all files" in the explorer and it's still not there. I'm using the out of the box manila.

Is there really no easy way to change the background for other tabs? I did get it to run once with that cab that sets it to whatever your home wallpaper is, but I don't like that, since I use about 50 wallpapers, that change every 5 minutes and not all of them work with the other menus.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nixx-X1:

Thanks for the suggestions, though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nixx-X1:
I know.. it's included in the zip file to use.

just copy the 5**** and 4***** manila files in your windows root and it should be good.

don't forget to back up the 5*** file
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] IceBone:
Ok, almost done, just need to delete the 5c9aa261 file, because it won't let me overwrite, but it won't let me do that either.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] IceBone:
Oh, this is fan bloody tastic. I got it to work, but the tab bar isn't showing up. So I switched back, but it STILL isn't showing up. I must have messed up and lost my original 5c9aa261... @*ß&!!!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
Thanks for the archive. Tried it on my Touch HD, and looks perfect here, dont have any stretching when switching tabs. There is a thin white line visible below and above the titlebar, which isnt that obvious with other backgrounds, so i guess i understand what you mean. I suspect thats how the bars are defined in the mode9 file, but to prove that right i'd need more time. If its just definition its solvable, i'll give it a try. I'll post a screenshot in a minute how it looks here.

I tend to keep it on my HD for now, looks amazing :) And, it reminds me of a happy weekend in paris years ago. Maybe i should take a trip there again :D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vit4u:
Yeah, Paris is wonderful!

In terms of the line - perhaps this is something to do with my custom ROM from Davideuke. I don't see actual stretching when switching between tabs. But when I'm not on the home tab, I can see solid thin line - I would not say that it's white, it's rather dark grey. And right below, only at the left half very narrow white stripe. I'm not sure I have any program to take a screenshot. Can you recommend one?

Aha - I guess you cannot see that stripe since your top bar is semi transparent. Mine is completely transparent.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 6Fg8:
They're handcrafted, dont have a cab ATM. Copy the manilas in the zip to your \Windows directory should do the trick. Hope i didnt forget one, if you miss any drop me a note.

3: Add 56px to right edge (536 x 796)?

4: Resize (stretch) to 512 x 512)?

5: Save as png.

What values to hex edit first two lines of mode9 file?

Can someone brighter that me help?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Just tried this and it works perfectly, thanks 6Fg8, you're a hero!

1. Yes, start with 480x800

2. Cut 54px from the top (480x746)

3. Cut 50px from the bottom (480x696)

4. Add 56px to the right hand side (536x696)

5. Resize (stretch) to 512x512

6. Save as png

7. Open m9 editor

8. Open your newly saved 512x512 png in m9 editor (have to change to *show all files in m9 editor)

9. Click save as QTC and enter 4a087e41_manila as the file name

10. Turn off Touchflo (Start>Settings>Today>Items uncheck Touchflo)

11. Use Totalcommander/Resco to move the 3 manila files to Windows dir

12. Restart Touchflo :)

No need to Hex edit with this version from 6Fg8 :D
