[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Thank you good sir, I have fixed it now. :)

New release coming soon, with a graphical interface. ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi all

New version 1.0b in the first post. The app now has a sweet gui. ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] magawa:
please remove this word "se**" ( edit : already removed >>> LOL )

good job I really like the 0.9 ver. but I have a problem that I can't apply the transparent bars twice can you check this on UR phone ????

edit : you can move FAQs to second post with good tips

first post for the app and screens and second for faqs ans tips

this will be better in my opinion

edit 2 : ( this is major thing we missed it ) I will edit your beta cab to get it working on every pocketpc device ( like original Roms that they didn't have mort script installed )

finshed ....... THis CAB Works on every device no need to install mort script the cab will install one

I have a problem

when open new beta ver. it gives me apop up window say

cheers

MGW
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Awesome, thanks magawa!

I think I have fixed it now. btw, I have included a newer version of Mortscript in the cab, since the version you included doesn't support the Screenshot function. ;)

New beta uploaded, please test.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TheRem:
will this work with WM 6.1?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Good question, you could always test it and let us know how it goes. ;)

Should work though, except for the "remove softkey background" option...

Edit: Just realised it was your guide that got this project started. :)

Dear Jumba

Dear Jumba

Version 0.9 Worked fantastic.

but latest 1.03b didn't work. It didn't open any GUI. I already installed Mortscript for other applications.

What i did that I opened program files and opened the i c thru mortscript file. Then it worked. But Both bars didn't become transparent. PLEASE HELP. THANKING U FOR YOUR GREAT DEVELOPMENT
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hey man, thanks for testing.

What device are you on?

When you say it ran, what exactly happened? Did the gui open - and if so, which option did you select?

Maybe it's getting confused. Can you try uninstalling all versions of the app then deleting any "I C Thru U" and "ictu-..." mortscripts left in your Windows folder (if any). Then re-install.

I'm not too sure what the problem is, but the app does need to use the mortscript.exe that's installed with it (v. 4.3b15). Perhaps it's trying to use your system's mortscript.exe - we'll figure it out.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ionitaauras:
but for the bottom tab, only the transparent bar to replace in windows please

I have Touch Pro 2, tested all versions, last 1.0b3 doesn't work, also 0.9, now I'm on 0.8 version, it's the best till now
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hmm, gonna have to remove the download till I figure out what's causing it. So do any of the gui versions work, or is it just beta3?

Sorry for the inconvenience. Bear with me, this is my first app. :P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hskeik:
:)

hope it's not your last app, it's really fantastic work and very useful,

I tried 1.0b1, b3, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9, now i have 0.8
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi and thanks! :)

For the folks having trouble with any of the 1.0b versions, in the meantime can you try installing Mortscript 4.3b15 from here... scroll down to post: 15.09.2009 15:34

I think it's using your system's mortscript instead of the included one for some reason. Please let me know if this solves the problem, then I can look at fixing the script.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woodrow_hills:
Hi

I tried the application on Omnia 11 wm6.5 without manila. Its works on the soft keys bar but not on the taskbar on top. I have deleted it the application but the wallpapers still remains on the soft keys bar.

How to I remove it completely to try other versions.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Re-select your theme in Start > Settings > Home

Sorry for the hassle, I'm working on solving the issue.

Edit Uploaded version 1.0b4 to the first post. Hopefully this will have solved the starting bug. PLEASE TEST AND FEED BACK IF IT WORKS OR NOT. Please specify your device/res and OS version - this helps me with troubleshooting. Tnx.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramsuresh4:
1.0b3 not success for me

DEAR JUMBA

By testing 1.0b3 version , the following comment came ' No backup found , app. will exit in 2 secs.'

ALSO NO GUI OPENED.

MY DEVICE IS HTC TOUCH2

Also i uninstalled my old mortscript v 4.3b11 and installed new v:4.3b15. Then also the same error came.

So finally 0.9 is working for me.

THANK U.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Cool man, can you try 1.0b4

Hopefully this has fixed the problem.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hskeik:
1.0b4 has the same problem, it doesn't start, many times I have to open it, then it open directly on "choose wallpaper",
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Right, I believe I have finally solved the issue. :D

Please try version 1.0b5 in the first post and report back if it works for you. All this mortscript + gui stuff is a bit experimental right now so please forgive any issues.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hskeik:
many thanks, it works well now :)

WM 6.5 smartphone?

is it work on htc s620? running WM 6.5
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
hehe, cool. What app are you using for the cropping btw? I am also interested in how you got the taskbar image to look correct - my app assumes the wallpaper only starts 18/36 pixels from the top of the screen, so I've had to duplicate the first 18/36 pixels of the wallpaper and paste them as the taskbar background, effectively duplicating the top part of the wallpaper. I have an idea on how to do it (crop 18/36 pixels off the top of the wallpaper and then set it as the background, so when pasting the taskbar above it it will appear like a continuation of the wallpaper). I was just wondering if you did it in a similar way?

Yes it should work. The app is compatible with W|Q|VGA devices running WM 6.5.x
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woodrow_hills:
Tried v1.0b5 on Omnia ll 480x800 wm6.5. Didn't work. Error message as shown in screenshot.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Thanks for testing, hmmm, I haven't seen that error before. It seems to work on WVGA devices, so I'm wondering if it's the Omnia II...

Did the app launch at all? If so, did you press any buttons?

Sorry for the hassles, you could try v 0.9 in the meantime until I get this gui fixed once and for all. ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woodrow_hills:
Hi

The app did not launch at all. Only error message. I'm having same problem with v0.9. By the way I using MortScript 4.3b15-PPC. Is there any connection with this issue. Appreciate if you can look into this.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
It is indeed unusual that 0.9 is giving you the same error.

Only the new 1.0b requires Mortscript 4.3b15 (included in the distribution) but the older versions should be okay with any Mortscript.

That error means there is a missing variable somewhere - it's going to be difficult to track down without a WVGA device to test it on, but I will try.

In the meantime it would help to know if any other WVGA (and specifically Omnia II) users are having the same problem.

Regards

J

Edit: Could you maybe try running the script "ictu.mscr" directly from the installation folder - just want to check if the error happens before that file is called.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi again, I have attached a zip containing three test files. If you install the app (1.0b5) then unzip these files to the install directory, overwriting the originals, then run the app, it will produce a log file called "ictu.ini" in your installation folder.

Could you post the .ini file here for me to take a look at? This may not help but at least it will tell me at which point the script is failing.

Thanks for any help. ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] calvano915:
it worked the first time i applied transparency...but now it wont reapply...i'm receiving a "manila not installed" error
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
A little more info please... are you running M2D? If so, which version? Which button did you press first, and which one did you press the second time? And what resolution is your device?

Thanks.

There are two possible "Manila not installed" errors... one says "Manila not installed" and closes itself after 1 sec, then a message pops up asking you if you want to restart. This isn't really an error, it's just a reminder that the app didn't find Manila on your system, but it has applied the other changes you requested.

The other possible error is "Manila not installed. No changes made." This closes after three seconds and the app exits. This occurs if you have selected an option that only applies to Manila (the slider and button) and the app didn't find Manila on your device.

Could you tell me which error you are getting exactly?

The way it checks if you're running Manila is to check for the existence of this registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO\DLL

If it doesn't find it it reports back that Manila is not installed. So unless this key has changed for some reason, or you don't have M2D installed, there's no reason for it to be giving you the error.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] juicecultus:
could i have the slider from your screenshots in the first post?

Great job, keep well !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hey, great to hear some positive reports back. :D Thanks guys.

The slider is from my Blue Steel theme (see link in my sig) - but if you just want the slider, I've attached the files to this post. ;) Note: it's W|QVGA resolution. Unzip them to wherever your M2D images are located (most probably your Windows folder)...

The zip also contains the large icons, like so:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Pleasure, m8. Thanks for the suggestions, some really interesting ideas there.

1 and 2 I can do no problem (I was actually going to put 1 in the next version).

3 I'll have to do some research on, but I know the only solution is to remove the dark overlay so the start screen matches the bars, not to make the bars darker

4 is not possible right now with the way the interface works. Here's a short description so it's clear:

a. The app uses a small image viewer to display the interface image, which is simply a .jpg in the install folder - (anyone can skin it by editing this file)

b. Using a command in mortscript called "Screenshot Click()" the app freezes the image on-screen and waits for a click.

c. When you press a "button", the app then determines the coordinates and executes the appropriate subroutine. So as you can see, it's a really basic way of doing things.

Thanks to Max B for the help.

So, my abilities are in writing the mortscripts and designing the gfx - developing a proper user interface will require knowledge of a more serious programming language, which I don't have. :P So for now fancy fx like fades and animations are going to have to wait. Unless someone's willing to donate their gui-development skills to the project, of course. ;)

I will add your other suggestions to the to-do list.

first off great app. ok im using a tp2 and after installing i got the manila not installed msg that closes it self after 1 second and the proceeded to run,i selecet a wallpaper and the only change was to the taskbar and softkey area,same result after multiple attempts,im using 2.5 manila

ok i tried this and here is the file produced after running the test,hope it helps........said its a invalid file to upload so i put here

http://www.sendspace.com/file/0kfxvf
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
That's where the problem is. This app is only for v2 and lower, though I've only tested it on v2. There are 2.5 apps that do a similar thing though, so keep an eye out for them. ;) You might want to check out some of the links provided by mergen3107.

Thanks, I have taken a look at the other apps that do similar things, but as you mentioned most of them are for 2.1-2.5, while I'd like to keep this app focused on 2.0. But let me see, maybe I can chat to one of them... but I'll be honest, I want to keep this app simple, so I really don't want to give it too many options. I'm even against doing a fancy gui, because that will only add to the size without any real reason. What I'd like to do now is streamline the code so it's even smaller, then I'll look at expanding it again. ;) Thanks for your help!

Excellent, good to hear!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hmmm, I think what I'll do is split the app into 3 parts - one for WM6.5 changes, one for M2D changes and the third for backup and restore. I plan on adding quite a few more options to each part, so the single-screen 16-button layout is not going to suit future versions.

I could also present the user with a simple 3-way choice at the beginning, then depending on what they select the app will display the relevant interface screen. This is probably the better option. Will require a lot of work though, and real life is demanding my attention, so the next update may only be in a few weeks' time. On a positive note, I have solved the start menu darkness issue. ;)

This app is compatible with Manila 2D version 2 and lower. If I recall correctly, the HD2 uses Manila 2.5.

any idea for returning it to normal look, or making it nice by fulfilling the programs job manually ?

cheers,

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hiya, thanks for the suggestion. I did once consider doing things this way, but the problem is if something goes wrong and the file is incorrectly written for some reason then things could go really wrong. You will see in the next version of the app I have included many more options allowing for the removal of all of the Manila backgrounds from the home tab. I don't think I am going to mess with the other tabs right now... maybe a job for another time.

Hi man, why not download the tool for Sense that does the same job as this one? I think this is the one. ;) Trust me, doing everything manually is a long process.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
NEW VERSION RELEASED

07.06 - 1.0RC - Lots of improvements, stability and added features. Now the app lets you scale/crop large images to fit, automatically syncs the Manila and Today wallpapers, allows for the removal of all Manila backgrounds on the home tab, transparent start menu background, no need to restart after making changes to Manila, etc. Please test.

Please note: Because this new version uses a more complex method of resizing and cropping, some operations will take longer than they did in the older version. Sometimes it may appear like nothing is happening, but please do wait for the app to finish. You will be prompted to restart when done, or Manila will auto-refresh.

See first post for download.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Cool man, let me know if it all works okay.

Sorry guys, I discovered a bug where the first button under "New Wallpaper" wasn't working properly. Please re-download from the first post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hey, thanks man! The start menu fix is embarrassingly simple, just had to replace a png in the windows folder. Regarding point 2, I left the highlights on the softkeys untouched, so if your current Today theme includes them they will be shown... so my guess is you recently changed your theme from one that doesn't have highlights to one that does. ;) In a future version, I will provide the option to remove the highlights (if present). And hey, I wish I had a device that supported Manila 2.1+. Enjoy it. :P

One feature I'm looking forward to is multiple backup slots. This way you can save more than one layout, and it could even be possible for people to share their theme packs with others.

after downloading and installing my phone crashed and didnt reboot .. i had to hardreset...

now all programs are gone, even contacts ... and it doesnt matter when i use what happened and flash a new rom ...

Which ROM would you PREFER for me ?

i know some but dont know what is good in them...

energy rom, max sense rom ... and so on ... i think max sense is a great user interface ... and i liked it ... what would you prefer if you want to have functionality and a cool User Interface ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Wow, I have read that that app is difficult to get working on certain roms, something to do with files having to be patched, etc. Oh well, at least ICTU doesn't mess with any system dll's etc. ;)

I really couldn't know which rom to suggest for your device... I've only got an Omnia. :)

Update: Okay, so I made a silly mistake in the backup script, but I've fixed it and decided to make this Release version 1.0. I'm fairly confident most of the bugs are ironed out. Details and download in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] le0-:
right .... messed up my screen look, programm doesnt rly work good with my ROM i guess, 2\3 times i try to change it to at least "ok" it writes me

" no manilla found " how can that be possible?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi, what version of Manila are you using?

The app is compatible with Manila2D version 2.0 - it definitely does not work with Manila3D (i.e. version 2.1 to 2.5). I'm guessing this is the reason why it doesn't find Manila on your system, since it gives the same error message if it doesn't find the right version. If you do have v2.0 though, then please let me know - the problem might be somewhere else then. ;)

Oh, and what is your device and ROM?

hi i have elfin i.e qvga with mikys 23569 manila rom installed ur IC Thru 1.0 final except the top and bottom bar transparency nothing works for me.any sugesstions???
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi

I will look into it - I think it has something to do with the location of your "HTCHomesettings.xml" file - the script assumes it's in the Windows folder, so if it's in another location then none of the Manila changes will be made. I will see if I can try another method of scanning for this file, maybe that will solve the issues some folks are reporting.

Just to see if it's definitely Manila that's the issue, can you please try applying transparency to your softkey buttons (the buttons at the bottom)? If that works then it's a Manila issue.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi again

Please can you try something for me if you're having trouble changing Manila elements... I've modified the main script to check in a few locations (not just \Windows) for HTCHomesettings.xml - now if it doesn't find the file it will give you an error msg saying so - if you get this error please let me know, then I'll have to try another method.

All you have to do is unzip the attached file to your ICTU install folder (overwrite the original) and run the app, then try making a Manila element transparent.

Tnx.

Edit: Actually, just realised you'll need to uninstall and re-install the app first before trying the attached test file. ;)

works with manila 2.5

Hello, love your ictu app. I have T.Mo U.S.A stock ROM manila 2.5 2012. I also get the message that says No Manila Found but it goes away and I restart my device and it works after. It feels a little buggy but I am getting the hang of it. I just wish there was a way that when you select the folder where you have your pics, that it shows the actual pics like when you are choosing wallpaper because when you have tons of pics you can't really remember by the names, other than that I feel a more stable version would be superfantastic..good work man
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Hi there, glad you are finding it useful. :)

If using a higher version of Manila (2.1+) or Manila is not installed at all, the app will display a brief message telling you that Manila is not found. This is perfectly normal, and won't affect the other changes you've made. Now, if you were to try only changing Manila elements (no Today changes) then the app will exit completely without making any changes.

I am working on the next version now, and am ironing out any bugs left over. ;) One thing I hope people will like is the ability to save theme skins as a single file so they can save them to restore later, or share with others. The save script is working fine, just have to implement the restore option.

When it comes to having a thumbnail browser, I'm afraid I don't have the programming skills to achieve this... but I'm open to help if anyone has a simple solution for me. ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vasujahagirdar:
hello i tried with this new fix, but no effect.it shows some error notifiications.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jumba:
Then I have no idea. :P

The only thing that will help me at this stage is to send me a copy of your HTCHomesettings.xml file - this *should* be in your Windows folder - so I can take a look at it.
