Well, i have another request... am using the simple white manilla theme, the only thing missing are the squares in the background, i copied your file into windows (the one you made black) but it doesn't change anything in the theme, i still have a solid white background...
Is it possible to get the grey squares matching the white theme, and if so how do i activate them after copying to the win directory??
thx

Because when u have a white background u dont use the 'standard' manila background files... there's some difference in the mode9/luaq files...
Sorry, but I cant help u there ... don't know how to change that...
Maybe someone else can...?

Ok, that makes sence, that must be the reason that there is no "white diamond theme" like the original "black theme"

Hey everyone,
since I'm a owner of a Diamond, I just keep playing around with the TF3D Themes, that were made by the people of this website.
But I got a problem pretty similar the the one of the first post.
After I install a theme everything looks good and fine, but the background of the tabs. This is staying in my ugly o2 blue. And for example in the Gold-Diamond Theme this really looks stupid. Can somebody tell me, which manila file I have to chance to get it black (I like those bricks :D ) ???
Thanks a lot
Alex

You have to copy some Luaq/gles manila files from the original black theme...
Don't know wich ones it is right now but try this one...
I made it for someone else that had some problems with the clock...

You can always uninstall it and go back to original manila files...

hey dude,
dunno why, but it didn't work correctly. After installing your cab-file my clock was not "bling-bling" anymore and I was back in January 2008 :( Re-installed gold theme and hoped that it would keep the background (which was correct now), but it didn't.
Seems as if I have to live with blue backgrounds, or has anybody else an idea???
But thanks for your work anyways !!!

Ok... made a new one ... Try it, If it doesn't work just uninstall :)
This will remove CallHistory (if u have it) and change order of tab to standard...

So it is possible to change the colour of the bricks, but not the black background. Am I correct? Maybe I misread somewhere, so it's definately not possible to change the black background in all tabs..(yet)

Thanks for that file NisseDILLIGAF, not that big on theaming but that does look a lot better, nice and simple. Had to use total commander to get the job done, the normal windows file explorer would not overwrite the manilla file, very happy tonight so far. :)

This patch has side effects. Look at the "5-day" weather after applying it. The bottom is now completely gray instead of white with squares or completely white. Maybe making the squares transparent is better than making them black?

It's the same for me, also if you go to programs/all programs you will see the same effect there, but I just don't care, I hardly ever go there! :)

True!
of course that would probably solve it... (sometimes u don't see the trees for the forest :p)
then it would be a completely white background in the '5-day weather' and 'all programs' :D
I'm not sure, but it's worth a try....
I'm running Sprint Theme so someone else have to test it... :rolleyes:

Done the testing and I can 100% confirm that this works. Thank you very much! :)

Ok thats cool and all but how on earth do I get the home screen background to be on all the tabs backrounds instead of using the the black bricks?

You can try this .cab, you'll need to soft reset after installing it.
