Now this is a great Manila mod! :D The tab titles have never made sense to me, considering they show you the icon for the tab you're in right on the bottom and you'll have the tab appearances memorized within minutes anyway.

In the interests of helping improve it, here are a couple bugs I've found:

With the Manila start menu, the icon positions are moved up, but the Start title is still there and the bottom cutoff moves with it instead of extending the icon space. I'd personally prefer if you could revert it to default, since we won't gain enough space for a fourth row of icons anyway. Here are some screenshots:

And the second is VERY minor. The numbers of the forecast get cut off by the default slider in the weather tab. If you could bump the forecast up just a few pixels, it would be perfect.

Thanks so much for your hard work! I'll be using this on all my ROMs from now on, along with CompactHome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
When I get some free time I'll try to correct these bugs. Though the only thing I can do with the Start menu is removing the title and removing the cutted space down. Start menu and Programs tab are using the same code, so I can't do a lot with it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jodeltje:
a little off-topic, but where did you get that 6.5 theme?

thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cythrelo:
That's amarullz's excellent 6.5.x theme. I'm using the blue one, myself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bog3nator:
like everyone else everything is perfect, also the internet tab, the search bar needs to be moved up...the name of the tab is removed though :)

great work, your always making the touch pro better for me

edit: didnt notice you already new of this :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syauqi_89:
i love the bottom slider of this one.. could u make a cab and send to me? thx in adance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ctrlaltdel:
Thanks mwalt, it works like a charm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mindofmike:
That would be perfect for me. Even just removing the start menu title would be an improvement. Take your time, we all appreciate the hard work. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stixnstownes:
This mod is great, thanks so much! :D

One question though, with the music tab enlarged, the album art for songs are still in their original size, and all the pictures are blurry because of the stretch. Is there any way to fix this?

I use the music tab ALOT, and it would really be appreciated if somebody could help me out with this.

Thanks in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zelendel:
I searched ( really I did ) love the new layout. Small thing really but the settings for weather tab get pushed up to a point of hiding one option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
UPDATE in first post - I've uploaded a fixed version (fixed: weather tab, some scrolling issues, programs tab/start menu, settings tab).

stixnstownes, I guess it's the same issue as in people tab - Manila's image compression isn't so good...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cythrelo:
Thanks, the new version works perfectly! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ACoolGuy:
Everything looks good. The weather tab I cannot find the My Location service anymore. I don't use it so no biggie there. The settings tab looks a little off. In a previous version the tab scrolled from the very top of the screen to the bottom. Now in the latest version the scrolling is half an inch from the top. Kind of like the title tab is still there but its just black. Dunno if this was done on purpose but figured I would point it out as you may want to know. I personally hardly use the settings tab so again, no biggie. Thanks for your hard work on this. BTW - CompactHome is Perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
ACoolGuy, strange... For me the My Location service and the Setting tab works fine :confused: But there could be something wrong, since I reinstall this mod many times to test my tweaks... Which version are you using? I mean normal, BgAll or panoramic?

Can anyone else give any feedback on these problems?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cythrelo:
The settings for My Location did disappear for me in the normal CAB, too. The two settings I get for weather are:

- Download weather automatically

- Download weather when roaming

GenY Manila R1.5 on a CDMA Touch Diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Hmm... I've just noticed I also haven't got these settings :D I'll look into this tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ACoolGuy:
Yeah Sorry I should have been more clear. I meant the SETTINGS for My Location were gone. A quick fix would be to maybe uninstall CompactManila and change settings for my location then reinstall. Also the Settings screen looks like the attached. The black area used to not be there in previous version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
I guess it's because of the Retractable Slider mod... And I guess I'll do another version, especially for this mod - this'll give even more space on the screen!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ACoolGuy:
Definitely. For me, I think Compact Home/Manilla, Retractable slider, and background4all are all must mods for ANY manila based ROM. I just wish I knew what files each cab file installed so I could make a simple cab to install all after hard resets.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bog3nator:
yea i dont use the retractable slider and my settings tab looks perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burner8:
Hi,

where can i find this great taskbar icons and the slider?

thank you

burner8
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
burner8, I'll send you later the slider by pm (it's a modified version of the on by RR33 from SenseLIKE skin), but for the taskbar icons you have to write to Krzysiec.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
Tried it..

Tried this on Shep's latest Rom (so unfortunately not the 1.5 release of manilla but the 1.1)..

However, nothing is being displayed on my weather tab now..

Any idea?

Love this little tweak....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Some cookers protect their files, so that you can't overwrite them, I guess this is the problem here... The only thing I can advise you is to delete all of your weather locations, re-add them and update the weather info - I hope this works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
You don't think it's because it's not the 1.5 release (inclusing the my location part in the weather tab)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Rather not, you're the first one who reported such a problem. But you can wait until I fix the missing My Location setting in the menu - maybe this would help somehow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
Guess I'll wait, the thing is, not even the menu is showing, it's just like it's an completely empty tab..

Again, it's NOT the version with the my location tab, it's the older port from manilla 2.1 (release 1.1 I think)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Did you try then the R1.1 version of my mod?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
woops....

I am such an idiot sometimes :)

Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!!!

:)

EDIT:

tried the 1.1 release and all is working now..

I thought the 1.5 release looked better though, this one has mail envelope cut of, and the programs tab is not resized.

Still, better then it was.. at least I got my weather tab back...

Tnx....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
No worries, I'm glad that it works :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
Did you see my edit.. :)

Think you updated the 1.5, but not the 1.1, correct?

Thanks anyways, this is a little gem..

I love these little tweaks to make my VGA screen that much better..

Good work...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
If I get some free time, I'll update the R1.1 version :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KUR0I:
If you tell me which versions you are using, I can make one cab for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] belsj:
Jeroen, sometimes.......... :D:D:D

sorry i had to do that....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p50kombi:
Thanks for that!!!!

shut up Belsj....hihi.... :) :)

ps.. going to drive the Trabi to the UK this weekend...

Wish me luck :)

pps... what are you running now that Adam's still MIA???

Shep's as well?

PPPS... updated to r1.5, so no need to update the 1.1 cab just for the likes of me...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
That's good, because recently I haven't got so much both time and motivation :D I won't update it unless someone still uses the R1.1 GenY.Manila.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] belsj:
Very Very off topic

It still driving????? wouw. and there is a retro model coming up:D:D

I'm still on the Adam's private forum talking.... On my own
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moscha:
CompactManila really rocks, but it seems not to be 100% compatible with the

"Four column Program Tab for Gen.Y Manila".

If this would be integrated, than it would be 100% perfect for me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ko0l:
Anyone also noticed that the stocks tab doesn't scroll to the bottom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
The only problems I see are the internet tab, the 4 columns programs tab, and the stocks tab not scrolling all the way. This is a great addition and a must have. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
Okay. One down and 2 to go. Attached is my compact manila 4 columns program fix. It should move the programs tab all the way to the top with 4 programs. I've only tested it on my fuze, but it works for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Thanks! About the Internet tab - I cannot decompile the script to change it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
Success!!! It took some doing but I was able to get my internet tab to look like the picture. I've uploaded a cab to do this. One thing though, if you have your own program links (the Facebook, Opera, IE, ...) in 27c65cbd_manila, you will want to keep it and copy back over my install. But you will want to remove the banner information like this:

<Banner
SelectedImagePath=""
Width="0"
Height="20" />

My 27c65cbd_manila XML file can be edited to include more links if you want. Its pretty easy to do, just use a text editor on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v_trx:
I have a Touch Pro with the new Vodafone UK rom. Which files do I need to install to get this new version of Touch Flo?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Sorry, I cannot support carrier-modified roms, just because I can't test them :D But you can always try and see if it works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v_trx:
Which files to I have to install for my touch flo to become like the screen shots?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Oh boy, just choose one of the versions from the first post...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kobieness:
How can i edit the manila file to add navigate to a URL? i try to add

NavigateUrl="www.google.com"

but this did not work.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it to work. I put navigateURL in the wrong line.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kobieness:
You should put the icon PNGs into 64x64 px resolution instead of 25x25. This will give you a much better quality result, instead of the semi-blury icons that you have. Hope this helps, I don't mean to be critical. =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emd2009:
I am having problems using this along with the CustomHome mod. The words are still there but the sizing is correct so I end up for example the word "calendar" jumbled with the actual calendar ontop of it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Sorry, I cannot guarantee that my mod works with other ones.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bliind:
This works great!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majorassface:
Just wanted to report I am also getting the missing weather tab. I'm running a rom cooked with ssk 2.7.5, WM6.1, manila 2.1(yozgatg) with panorama mod. I've tried all versions and the only one that works for me is the 1.1 but I don't like it as much as the 1.5, also when I use 1.1 it overwrites my panorama mod with bg4a. I'm really hoping you can help with this as I'm just in love with compact manila and homescreen!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
What do you mean by 'missing weather tab'? AFAIR nobody reported such problem...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majorassface:
Hi Kamill, the blank weather tab was reported in this thread, two pages back. See quote above. I tried the 1.5 but can't get it to work properly for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
You're right, it was reported, but it was also solved. Are you using the new (R1.5) version of yozgatg's Manila 2.1 VGA port or the old one (R1.1)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr_krg:
This is really great mod!!! And correct me if I'm wrong, but with this mod you have as much space as you would have on WVGA screen. So I'm asking - isn't better to just remove the top bar than resizing all the things to fit the VGA screen? It would be much faster to port new version of manila. The screen also looks bigger with this mod and the top bar is totally useless.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Nope, unfortunately you get only ~50pixels more. Even with the retractable slider and no top bar you won't get enough space... I've been thinking of that already :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr_krg:
Yeah, you're right. It just didn't seemed to be that big difference (I had Diamond 2 in my hands). Anyway, if you use this mod and the retractable slidebar, there would be minimum things to resize, maybe you would just need to move the elements (make smaller space between them) -> much less work with resizing and it would look much better...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majorassface:
I thought I cooked in the 1.5 version of Manila 2.1 but now I'm not so sure. I think I'll just wait until I cook a new rom and try it again. Thanks for the reply and all the hard work. Compact manila is a beauty!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Thanks! You can easily check if you have the R1.5 version, just look if you have GPS positioning for weather.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majorassface:
Good tip. No GPS weather so I must have somehow cooked up the older manila. Thanks for the reply! Maybe this weekend if I have the time I'll cook up a new rom and have another go at compact manila/home. Thanks again!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakewill:

4column programs

Hey, one problem I'm having -- on the 4 column compact programs install, is anyone else having problems when you click "All Programs" and it shows one skinny column where the text doesn't line up with the icons? Just trying to get some bugs fixed for my ROM, otherwise this mod is GREAT.

jakewill
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MikeEx:
This is exactly what the porting projects need to do.

The title bar on top is redundant and a waste of space when you have an icon on the bottom slider to represent what tab you're in.

This also make it look much better.

Great job.

CompactManila 4Column Programs fix

I have fixed the issue with the 4Column Programs mod where clicking "All Programs" or adding a program to the buttons brings up a 1-column menu that is jumbled and difficult to use.

Attached is the cab, modified from Lewis' cab. It probably could replace his on the main post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakewill:
Gsensor settings

One final issue I'm having with the CompactManila mod is the G-Sensor Settings page. When I go to this page it overlaps the list items on top of the "G-Sensor Settings" title bar. Can anyone help point me to the file I need to change to get rid of the title bar, or possible just start the settings list directly below the bar?

I have found one place to adjust where the list starts, but it changes the list on the main manila settings page, too.

Thanks in advance...

Option to modify select tabs

This looks like a great mod and I've already tried out the CompactHome mod as well, but have held out on this one due to a couple reported display issues. Any chance of a version that would allow us to pick and choose which tabs we wanted to 'compact', rather than having all (except weather) or nothing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Yep, it's possible. The only problem is that the title bar is removed globally, I cannot remove it separately for each tab, so you'll have an empty space at the top of the tab in the non-compact tabs.

CompactManila R1.5 in parts - I hope everything's fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Thanks, I'll try them out!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Line left over from titles?

Finally got around to installing this great mod and am very pleased with the improved layout and have made a small donation to show my thanks. :)

One issue I have is that there's a small white line in the background which I believe appeared just under the title of each tab. While the titles are gone and the items on the screen have been rearranged accordingly, that little white line remains (see screenshot). How can I get rid of it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Calendar tab mods?

I think I already know the answer :p, but is there any chance of modding the calendar tab to give more info than just whether or not something is happening each day? For example, a line extending across multiple-day events and all-day events and a triangle in the lower corner if something's scheduled in the afternoon as opposed to the morning? It would also be nice if you could tap on days of the previous/following month that are displayed in the Month view, especially when it's near the first/last of the month.

Eagerly awaiting completion of the Sense 2.5 port, since the Agenda view will be very handy as well...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Modified Mail tab

Kamill,

Any chance you could do a modified mail tab?

One change I'd like to see is rotating the preview text so that it appears straight-on, like an SMS, instead of at an angle.

I'd also like to remove the envelope so I can read more of the email text, similar to what was done by this mod.

A possible bug I've also noticed with CompactManila is that with my current configuration of 7 mail accounts, the icons on the right side of the screen don't slide up enough to see the account name for the last account (see screenshots). It's there, it's just mostly hidden behind the taskbar. If I could find a retractable slider that worked with the Gen.Y Manila 2.1, I suppose that would help, but it seems like the icons should automatically slide up to make room for the last account, like they do for the first one, which is currently not visible, but scrolls back into view as you move the slider up. One option may be to remove the New Mail button in the top right corner, since we have the Menu->New Mail option available to us...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
I'll see what I can do, just give me some time :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0mmyr:
hey Kamil, sorry if this has been asked before but do u plan on or have u made any mods yet for wvga htc sense 2.1 or 2.5? i loved your mods on vga but now i got a tp2 and hope u join us in wvga land
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
del4, I couldn't get the mail preview fully straight, but it's a bit better now. I've also moved up the bladelist (couldn't find out how to shorten it). UPDATE in second post.

t0mmyr, I wrote some time ago that I'll work on a mod for Sense 2.5, but I can't find any fast enough rom... So I guess I'll just wait for newer builds of Sense 2.5 and the release of Sense 2.1 for VGA :)

Also, I cannot do any mods for WVGA, because I ave a VGA device - sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Looks good, thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
Kamill, What setting would I need to adjust to be able to use the larger envelope but lowering it on the screen about 10 pixels, and keeping the bladelist in it's original position?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
You would need to edit one of the lua scripts (220edf70_manila) and lower the value of Camera3D.Position.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
Thanks! I'll dig into that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
I found the value, but I'm not sure which entry needs to be changed to lower the image:

Camera3D.CameraPosition.value = Vector3(90, -60, 350)

Camera3D.Position.value = Vector3(100, 38, 47)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
If it were me, I'd probably adjust one of the values, then load the modified file (keeping a backup of course) and see what happens and then repeat... :p

A quick search located the second post of this thread where I found this info:

Q16: 4 byte Q16.16 fixed point number

Vector3: 3*4 bytes of Q16 numbers (X,Y,Z)

so, I would guess that modifying the middle (Y) value would adjust the vertical location? Looks like it may be possible to adjust the envelope/letter display so that it is directly facing the user, rather than being at an angle, but not 100% sure... What would be really cool would be the ability to flick and scroll through the full content of the message directly from the manila display!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
That's the best way to make changes :)

Yep. But it's not so obvious in all of the lua scripts :D Sometimes lowering the Y value moves the object up.

Unfortunately it's not possibly, I've been trying to set the Camera3D.Position in many ways but did not get the envelope straight. I guess it's defined in some other file...

ghintx, by changing Camera3D.Position you can move the envelope around the screen, without changing any angles of viewing. And by changing Camera3D.CameraPosition you can move only the camera around, so you get different viewing angles on the envelope. I hope you know what I mean.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
That makes sense. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mamamam:
very nice

could you make a version for the 2.5 ?

please remove this ugly headlines in sense ;)

I can't help you with that, I've never cooked a rom...

You can use my E-mail tab mod, it's in the 2nd post. It removes the envelope, so you can see more text :)

Sense 2.1

I tested this on latest sense 2.1 for diamond (v1.5 compact). It actually worked almost perfectly. The only problem is after selecting any tab and then returning to home tab, sense restarts.

Would this be a relatively easy fix, I would love it if possible as the screen is used much more efficiently without the titles in the way.

thanks
