25th August 2008, 09:49 AM
First of all: Special thanx to Zitoun for the initial icons and D-MAN666 and Sushilange, the developers of the Manila Editor tool. THANX !!!!

Ok, have been playing around with the Manila Editor and created my own Dock only theme. So only the dock icons will be changed when you install this.

Installation instructions:

- Disable TFL3D
- Install .cab file
- Enable TFL3D

Theme shows up in the Add/remove programs on your Diamond and after uninstall, your normal TFL3D icons will reappear.

WARNING: I created this icon only theme based on the 1.37 Manila files. I use a 1.93 ROM on my Diamond but reinstalled tlr-manila.cab to get the animations back. On my Diamond it works perfectly.

Use at your own risk, I won't take responsibility for your own actions !!!!

TFL3DIcons.cab - Original icon theme without missed calls tab
TFL3DNoApple.cab - Modified icon theme WITH missed calls tab and without apple icons

TFL3DIconsV2.cab Original icon theme with missed calls tab and calender tab - as per 14-09-2008
UPDATED New Calender icon added to the theme. Removed the HTC Diamond call history icons as they didn't work. Call history icons remaind the same, the yellowish ones with the white phone.

good job!!

but.. I need the icon to call history ;) thnkz


Yes, I also need the "Call History Tab" icon........ Please Please.....

Also, you make the best icons by far, so could you please, if you have time, make some icons that are from windows and not Apple, I have your icons on my phone now as they are the best on the forum to me, But I bought the HTC Diamond because I hate the iPhone because of my own personal reasons, so using Apple Icons on a Windows Mobile phone makes me feel like I am emotionally raping my phone.

PLEASE PLEASE

Ok thanx for the compliments. So only the photo camera tab, music tab and program laucher should be changed because they are the only 3 apple icons I used.

I don't use the call history tab, but it can be implemented. It that only 1 or 2 extra manila files ?

Would be nice if you could supply me with 256x256 vga icons for the camera, music, program launcer and call history tab. Took me a lot of time to find icons though. I can use the "old" icons Zitoun used for camera and music, but program laucher and call history....will look for that....

Icons used:

File name: TFL3DIconsNoApple.cab

Original cab file with missed call support will be online later this day. If someone could provide me with a nice Missed Calls Icon in 256x256 format, that would be nice. The one I used now isn't that great, but that's my personal opinion.

There is a program in one of the kitchen files named QuickCab.exe. I use that program. Works ok for me. Attached it to this post. The other program in this post is to extract .cab files. Also very handy.

Cabwiz is a wizard like program. First select the files you want to add, then select the directory you want them to be copied to. Make sure you close manila editor before creating the cab file. That's all. Good luck....

hi, how do you turn your png files into _manila files so i can create a cab? first i tried extracting one of your cabs into win ce cab manager 3.0 and removing and adding my own icon then saving but i only get a blank white square on my icon. then i tried exporting to INF with a view to using cabwiz to turn it into a cab but the free version of wince3.0 doesnt support extracting cab. i can see what i want using manila-editor, i just cant convert the icon files i have into a cab to get on my phone. of course ill be happy to share the icon cabs once ive made them. thanks, kris

Make sure your .png files are resized to 128x128 and 64x64 and insert them with Manila editor. As soon as you insert your .png file in manila editor, you will see that the file has been changed. You can see that in your windows explorer because the time and date stamp are changed.
Then use the Quickcab.exe (see my post earlier this morning) en select the manila files you want to add to the cab. Select the \Windows folder and create your cab file (leave the registry options blank).

Also, the zip file in my earlier post contains another program which will allow you to extract cab files.

I don't know which program you use to resize your icons. I use Photoshop CS3 and when I resize my icons, I use the Save for devices and web option in the File menu to save the files.

Hope this helps.... Let me know, I'll be glad to help...

Maybe it's time to write a short guide on how to change the icon files only :)

What would be cool would be a Vista style theme for my Touch Pro (when T-Mobile UK eventually brings it to market!).

There doesn't seem to be one yet. I'm going to have a play around with the Theme Editor and .cab compiler. I won't hold my breath; some one else will probably have made it before I get it to work!

hi, no joy at the moment. ive gone simple to make sure im doing it right.

what ive done is...
- extracted the 'noapple' file.
- used manila editor, taken one of the png, opened in paint, scribbled over it and replaced it back into manila editor.
- opened quickcab, selected all the files in the extracted 'noapple' folder including the one i've replaced, created a cab and copied and installed on my diamond.

the cab installs, but im just left with the original diamond icons...?

do i need to specify a custom .dll in quickcab? (ive tried both ways)
do i need to copy the '_QUICK~1.000' and setup.xml from the extracted 'noapple' folder into the cab? (ive tried both ways)

thanks, kristian

looking in file explorer the files are named 037DEF~1 rather than the usual 037def1e_manila

is this the problem?

kpm197
27th August 2008, 10:09 PM
ok, solved. i had extracted the files using TUGZIP rather than a proper cab extractor (WIN CE Cab Manager 3.0). i'll post up when ive created my first half decent cab :-)

Ok, nice. You can use the cab extractor tool in the zip file which I posted earlier. That one works perfectly. Don't use the 037DEF~1 files. You really need to insert the images in the real manila files like 8e4773_manila.

Also make sure that when you use the Quickcab program that you select the windows folder on the right side of the screen to put the files in. They should be in red color then.

I can't confirm it because I haven't tried. But the manila editor program only supports .png and jpeg I believe. Furthermore, it's hard to find really nice gif animations.

Firstly, thanks for the cabs i have installed an it works fine on my Diamond. However im not sure i like one or two of the icons, Is there any way you could make an "icon manager" program with a list of all the icons on it so we could change what icons are used a bit like TF3D Advanced config. or if that is too much hassle for you could i ask for a new people tab icon with some sort of stick men pic and also the weather tab icon could be a bit better as someone has said in a preivious post it loks a bit flat, Maybe a 3d sun or something!

I dont mean to be picky and once again thank you for the great work!

Ok thanx for your feedback. I know you aren't picky about this, I had the same remarks with other icon themes, that's why I created my own.

No, I can't make an "icon manager" program because I'm not a programmer. I only used the manila editor posted here on the forum. So I can't help you with that.

About te weather icon: It's flat because I'm Dutch and if you've ever been in Holland, you know that Holland is as flat as a piece of paper, so I took a picture of it and made an icon out of it ;) No, just kidding. I liked that icon myself, so if you have an nice 256x256 icon you would see in the icon set, I could implement it for you. Just make sure it has a transparent background.

Also, It's very simple to create your own icon set. Just download the manaila editor and my icon set and replace the icons for your own icons.

Does this theme only work for when the Diamond is docked?

Also, to get it to run on a 1.93 ROM, am I right in thinking you have to re-install the animations cab then?

Thanks,

Can you make a screenshot of it and post it here ? The problem is probably that the original icon isn't in the right size format. I had some problems converting is to the right size. I can reupload the theme with the old call history icons if you like...

New call history icons look like this: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mengelsm/HTC/Icons/Call128x128.png

Good evening MRE-net,

I have a massive favour that i would like to ask, i hope you don't mind. Having read through this thread i was inspired to put together a icon collection of my own choosing. However although i have found all the icons i like i just cannot get the whole Manila editor and cab thing working right, now i'm usually quite good at figuring these things out however on this occasion i'm wll and truly stumped.
So the favour i want to ask is that if i send you all the icon files i want would you mind throwing together a cab for me? I know it's a big ask but i'm really at the end of my tether and i'm starting to worry that i'll do something wrong and mess up my whole system, and i guess you must be pretty fast at putting these together now.
Really hoping you can help,

All the best

No problem at all. Just zip them and attach them to your post or give me a download location. Also make sure you put in a text file with the names of the icons and which ones you would like to see where, like:

House.png - Home tab
Camera.png - Pictures tab
Sun.png - weather tab
etc...

Will have some time tomorrow evening.

@ MRE-net

Hi again MRE,
Thanks a lot for you reply but after many hours of trying this and that i finally cracked it!!! WeHey!! I used some of your icons as well as some that i downloaded / made myself.

Thanks again it's really appreciated.

@ Everyone

Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2577/iconsez9.th.png (http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iconsez9.png)

The Call history - Messages - Internet - Photos and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. As far as the other tabs are concerned i used MRE-net's original Programs icon and the Swiss army Knife for Settings.

In my opinion they look great on the Diamond, a touch more 'cartoony' than MRE's but i like them.


Now figured out how to do screenshots, so here they are.

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/2844/screenicons3qi9.th.png (http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenicons3qi9.png)

You'll notice that the Call History and Messages tabs green areas do not look wrong when the 'New event' green circle is present.

I particularly like my Weather Icon, took me ages to find and then Paintshop it to my requirements. It's amazing how hard it is to find good 3D weather icons!!


I have these saved in MRE's original CAB file, which installs perfectly, so if anyone would like to try my icons you can download the CAB from here -

http://www.uploading.com/files/HM5OPJSE/TFL3DTABICONSV2.cab.html Updated to include enhanced Messages tab.

If the file is no longer available on the above link then please drop me a PM and i will Email the CAB to you.

Once again i give a BIG THANKYOU to MRE-net for his icons and also the original CAB file, without which i would not have been able to put this together.

All the best

@ MRE-net

Hi again MRE,
Thanks a lot for you reply but after many hours of trying this and that i finally cracked it!!! WeHey!! I used some of your icons as well as some that i downloaded / made myself.

Thanks again it's really appreciated.

@ Everyone

Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1161/iconshy5.png (http://imageshack.us)

The Call history - Messages - Internet - Photos and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. As far as the other tabs are concerned i used MRE-net's original Programs icon and the Swiss army Knife for Settings.

In my opinion they look great on the Diamond, a touch more 'cartoony' than MRE's but i like them.


Please excuse the rather crude screen shots, i can't figure out how to (or indeed if you can) do a print screen function in WinMo.

I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon, but i couldn't find another one that fits better, i'll change this if i find a better one

Calendar icon looks like this:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~mengelsm/Pics/HTC/CalendarMRE279-256x256.png

I made the NoApple icon set before I enabled the calender tab, so I think the NoApple Icon set hasn't got the calender icon included.

For those who want the calendar icon to show up, you first have to enable the calendar. Follow the steps in this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647

If you don't enable the calender tab, the icon also won't show up. First enable the calender tab, then install the icon set.

lol MRE-net. I didn't realize i was asking for your wallpaper. But I've installed your icons here and love them. Would it be possible to include the calendar icon in the NoApple set? Also, I'm thinking of adding a tab for the Comm Manager...you wouldn't happen to have an icon for that that matches the rest?

Sorry for all the requests. If it's a hassle then don't bother. I'm just not a big fan of the iPhone so wanted to stay away from Apple-ish icons :P

Thanks again for the help and the great icons here!

Thanx man.... Sure it's possible to add the calendar icon to the NoApple set, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. Hope to do it this week. I don't use a tab for the Comm Manager, but it would be possible to add an icon. I don't have an icon which matches the other icons, so if you have a suggestion for an icon, I'd be happy to add it. Make sure the size is 128x128 in jpeg, bmp or png format. Don't know what the manila file is for a comm manager but that wouldn't be too hard to find out. More than enough info here on the forum.

Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647

and make sure that your calendar tab and calls tab don't have the same page order. If both have page order 5 for example, only 1 of the tabs will be shown. Make sure that the calender tab has page order 9 (or some other number) and the call history has page order 10 (or some other number)

I used to use calendar and lost calls tabs also.

That'd be great. No rush so take your time. I'm actually debating whether to include a Calendar tab or not lol (since it's basically a useless Calendar right now and doesn't have the ability to set appointments etc). If you do get around to it...please throw in the Call History tab into the NoApple set too? :P

As for the Comm Manager icon...maybe the current icon in Programs for Comm Manager? I think it'd fit with the rest of the icons in the set.

Here's the thread regarding the Comm Manager tab just in case too:

OK, I'm using the TFL3DNoApple.cab, but the Music icon is difficult to see against the black background of the tf3d curtain. I wouldn't mind using the original ipod looking icon, but I don't want the rest of the apple icons, just the Music one.

I'm trying to figure out how to change them myself, but I've never done this before. Would someone be able to assist? Or MRE-Net, if you have a free moment, would you be able to swap the music icons in this cab for me?

Thanks gang!

You'd need to find out which manila files are for the Music Tab icon. Then simply replace those manila files in the original icon set by MRE-Net with the manila files in the NoApple set.

There are two manila files: one for the small slider icon and one for the big icon that shows on top when you're sliding.

Use this program (see attachment). Rename it to MSCEInfen.exe and execute it because it´s not really a .zip file.

To all others, I don´t have too much time the next couple of weeks. Doing 60 hours a week at work and i´m tired as hell when I come home. Please read the forum on how to create your own icon theme. It´s not that difficult. :)

So i'm kind of fooling around with Manila as well. My plan is to make a theme from the best game out there, StarCraft! Of course with StarCraft 2 graphics :)

What I do is export an excisting image as PNG, open it with Photoshop, edit it without changing the positioning, save it and import it again. But somehow the saved image shows up at a completely different location, and is larger then the original. How can this be? Manila clearly states that (for example the 012 clock image) is 256 x 256 pixels. Somehow when I save the same image with different colors it shifts and enlarges...

Anyone familiar with this problem? If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about I'll post some screenshots.

2nd December 2008, 05:16 PM
Did some digging on the forum, and found a threat that discusses pretty much the same problem. It says to use 96dpi (Photoshop CS4 automatically made it 112dpi, no idea why). This however doesn't solve the problem...

You 've made a beautiful active icon for the calender tab!
However - and it's mentioned before in this thread- : with none of your cabs I can get this icon to work. I installed the calender tab with active icon exactly as described, and it works fine, but only the original red and white icon appears, whatever cab of you I install...
Maybe you can give me the manila files so I can copy them in my windowsfolder?

Sorry for the late reaction. Still very busy....But you are right. I don't use the active icon. The icon I use in my set is the icon before the active icon. So that's why rjh62 can't get it to work.

@rjh62, you should use the non-active icon instead.
