[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nocky:
I have created a way to control the icons in TF3D.

Using my tips below you can choose to show or hide each individual icon state.

The icon states are:

"icon_normal" (_Off) - This is the icon in the bottom curtain in TF3D when not selected by the slider

"icon_selected" (_On) - This is the icon in the bottom curtain in TF3D when selected by the slider

"icon_preview" (_Preview) - This is the icon in the middle of the screen in TF3D when tab selected by the slider

Installation instructions:

1. Turn TouchFLO 3D off (Settings/Today/Items)

2. Copy all 4 *_manila files from "Nocky TF3D Icon Control.zip" file to a temp location on your device such as Storage Card or My Documents

3. Use a file manager program like Resco Explorer or Total Commander to move the files from your temp location to the

device Windows folder (These are all extra _manila files, so NO ORIGINAL _MANILA FILES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN)

4. Edit tab entry’s in 26948339_manila (it can be found in \windows\ dir and edited with any text editor):

Below is an example of the original entry for the Email Tab:

<Page Order="3" Name="email.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Email">

<ComponentReference Name="page"	Mode9Path="HTC\email.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Email_Off" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Email_On" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Email_Preview" />

</Page>

Below I have set all icons to be hidden (Why you would do this I don't know!!):

<Page Order="3" Name="email.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Email">

<ComponentReference Name="page"	Mode9Path="HTC\email.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\nockyicon.mode9" Component="Nocky_Off" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\nockyicon.mode9" Component="Nocky_On" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\nockyicon.mode9" Component="Nocky_Preview" />

</Page>

You can mix and match whatever combination you like.... In the below example I have only hidden the icon for selected:

<Page Order="3" Name="email.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Email">

<ComponentReference Name="page"	Mode9Path="HTC\email.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Email_Off" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\nockyicon.mode9" Component="Nocky_On" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Email_Preview" />

If you want to hide an icon on any tab, just change the Mode9Path= to "HTC\nockyicon.mode9" and Component= to one of the following:

"icon_normal" (_Off) -	"Nocky_Off"

"icon_selected" (_On) -	"Nocky_On"

"icon_preview" (_Preview) - "Nocky_Preview"

5. Turn TouchFlo 3D back on

6. Enjoy

I have attached some screen shots as examples....

Pic 1 shows all icons on....

Pic 2 shows all "selected" icons off (a cleaner look)

Pic 3 shows all "normal" icons off (a very clean look.... you can still tap where the icon would be to directly select a tab.... takes a while to get used to but I like the clean look this gives)

I have not bothered with a picture showing the preview icons off as the text still comes up on the screen and it looks strange without the icon....

ADVANTAGE - The advantage of controlling icons this way is that when more tabs get developed, you don't have to keep replacing the new tab icons with clear ones to hide them (mainly to stop overlap when using a clear slider).... Just edit the manila entry for the new tab (as shown above) to hide the icons you don't want to see....

Cheers....
