[kidnamedAlbert]

you should add my htc home or my audiomanager
:D

[infernalshade]

Your HTC Home, yes of Course, but your Audio Manager is just for the Audio-Manager and not a Theme for the WM-shell :) But good work anyway!!

[philocritus]

Throttlelauncher!!!!

You forgot the best one out there!!

[infernalshade]

Hey thx, maybe its better than the MobileShell one :)

Is there a Graphics driver out there for Kaiser to use the Orig Manila?!

[flaviopac]

Is there a Graphics driver out there for Kaiser to use the Orig Manila?!

No, it's impossible....

[infernalshade]

Why?
Kaiser has an Graphics Card and i think good Specs (400Mhz, ...)

[mchapman007]

[alexnad123]

[infernalshade]

Well the first one is just a S2U2 Theme and not a WM-Makeover!
The Second one, yes, i'll update :)
The third one is the MobileShell one i've already posted!

[theme freak]

It is more better to post whether the themes work for what type of device..because its really a problem for VGA users if after they installed it, they found out its for QVGA :(

The third one I specify to try the 3D not Mobile Shell one. There are two different links to two different themes. Try the 3D Diamond one by AM1759.

VGA apps being in small number as opposed to to QVGA are always labelled.
so:
if labelled VGA... it's VGA or has VGA support.
if not labelled... no VGA or "at your own risk" VGA support.

That's my view, of course some posters might forget about it :)

About the diamond 3D... I've always seen it as a variant to greatbal's. It's another SPB mobile shell theme...
UI is the same as greatbal's, just glossy... Very good notheless!!
Besides, on the same post as greatbal's and 3D you have a white diamond theme and dozens other variants.
The white/blue theme is also available on throttlelauncher.

Huh?! I see two Themes, but it seems, theyre both for MobileShell!
What do you think for which Program this Skin is?!

PS: Sadly i cannot try which Programs have VGA-Support and which not...To test it, i must have a VGA-Device, but i haven't one!

And i don't think anyone would Donate for this little Thing...I mean, the easiest way to see for what Device is:
-Make a Backup with SPB Backup
-Install the App and see!
-If you don't like the Theme or it's not working, Restore the Backup...

[infernalshade]

...The white/blue theme is also available on throttlelauncher.

Yes...i made it ;)

This XIA Mortscript version has just been updated to v2. It is in cab format. Check it out!!!

infernalshade -- after you try this version you should update the first post ;)

[infernalshade]

yes, thx, will check it out :)

[sanderz6900]

Can you mention what current version's you have tested? For example, for the XIA MultiTheme one, it's v2 of the beta.

Also, shouldn't you indicate that you need to download XIA MultiTheme for the program to work?

Thanks!

[infernalshade]

Well...i don't have the time to look everyday if there's a new Version of a Manila Theme, because, they're too many...

But people can say "Hey a new Version it out there",just like you, and i'll test it!

In the Reqiurements i only mention things you have to Download seperatly...Well you need XIA MultiTheme to use it, BUT XIA Multitheme is already included in the .cab, so you don't need to install it! Also, there is "...Theme for XIAMultiTheme" in the Title, i think everybody knows what this means.
