[THE][2008 Sep 19]Vista Theme for Diamond with new comm manager tab

[Neo XL]

I made a new vista theme for TF3D. Download over the link in my signature. Inside is the new comm manager tab and the german calendar from d-man. If you want to have the calendar in your language, please download the calendar locales file in your language, please rename the title in Calendar, like he disribed it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647). Don´t copy the other calendar files (they are all inside) or change the order of numbers. Disable TF3D, copy all files with Total Commander to windows and restart. Hope, you will enjoy it. Two times during the copying comes an error. Don´t worry, all needed files will be copied allright.
Here - under the pics - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.

No Nisse, i don´t have fixed it. I think, it´s the same as in the settings tab, so it has the same font color.
But with your help i changed a little the design od the background. Thx for the compliments.
Screen shots would top it off.
Thanks very much
Click on the link...there are screenshots.

Thx

I made a few changes in my theme (some more things in blue, frames, background). When you click on the link in the first post, you can download them.

[Neo XL]

Sorry ... i posted fi´ve minutes to early... the new desktop variation was not inside. Now the changes are [for today :-) ] complete. Please download the changes again...you can see the changes also on the screenshots in the link.

[marios96]

best theme EVER! However... landscape version for Touch Pro doesn't work=p

Could you fix it please?

Thank you so much!

[Neo XL]

Thank you very much :-)
Sorry, i fear, that i can´t help you with the landscape version. I have only the diamond. What´s wrong, when you use it? Maybe, i find an answer or somene other here.

[Neo XL]

I am learning...so i must post every day new changes to the theme, don´t worry:
Today i am ready with the windows-tsk-file (Black & Blue), i integrated the diamond today picture and a better looking volume control. You can download the file in the upper entry.
Much fun.

Edit: Only new represantation (post 1)

Here - and also in the 1st post - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.

Hi Neo XL, I have just been trying your theme, it looks great, Thanks. However I am having some trouble adding custom cities to the weather database now, not a big deal. I Have removed the bricks and the bottom curtain and put in a custom home screen wallpaper with the analog clock from the french orange rom. The no bricks looks a lot better I feel they clutter up the screen a lot. I also think the theme would look better with a transparent slider like the one made by pamas which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430287. Just one more point, how about second level icons as well for example in the settings panel or the photos page? An example of second level icon implementation by stevedpl is seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427503 it's a nice finishing touch. Again thank very much for the theme it is obvious a lot of work went into it. :)
I also made myself a single cab file to install it all using quick cab which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221, with the correct english corrections in it, that way it is easier should I choose to remove it!

[Neo XL]

Thanks for the feedback.
I don´t have the weather problem...don´t know, if there are more users, who have the same.
You can further shape the theme by your taste...i like your screenshot. The 2nd level icons i didn´t style in my 1st theme, but in the later themes (Pirates, LOTR and - tomorrow - Spiderman).
It´s is a suggestion, even to do something like you want.
You can post your results here for other users, so all can benefit of them.

Hi Neo XL, the transparent slider is the big one for me, I just love pamas's slider. :)
Definitely sticking with your theme for now, Thanks a lot for your work, a great share.

[uniqueboy]

No idea why, no reset but just powered on my phone and the butt ugly original slider has resurfaced, I will re-install the manilla files to dispense with it, just not sure why it should suddenly reappear, the theme, with my own customisations has been solid all day. Man I hate that ugly slider! :(

[keko001]

do you have this i a cab file and have you it in dutch ?? look nice thx

[Neo XL]

You must deactivate TF3d, then copy the slider files to windows, activate TF3D, and it should go. I tried another slider today...no problems.
do you have this i a cab file and have you it in dutch ?? look nice thx
No, i don´t have dutch files, but it´s easy to edit the manila from the 1st post. Open it with the editor and search for this lines:
<Page Order="10" Name="calendar.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Calendar"> and
<Page Order="11" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Comm Manager"
Replace the Titles "Calendar" and "Comm Manager" with the words of your own language and save the file. Copy this file to your windows on the diamond and reset it.

I don´t wanna make a cab, because for editing and updating this is an easier way.

What slider did you try, I have yours back at the moment and very nice it is too, with a pure black theme, but when you start to add wallpapers you can't beat a transparent one. :)

[Neo XL]

I tried the slider from my spiderman theme.

[pranavd1980]

is it not possible to convert this in to a single .theme file????

please make it if possible....

[keko001]

surely no problem for experienced individuals to this in a cab file ?????
and it is also easy to remove it if you dont need it soo

[Neo XL]

For this things i don´t have the knowledge. But some theme files don´t run on all devices, i read in the threads. So this is a way, to make easy changes and fix some problems. If someone can post me a way, to make easily theme or cab files, i will try it next time.

I made all the files into a cab using "QuickCab" when I installed the theme. It is so easy to do, have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221 :)

[pranavd1980]

i think TF 3D requires .theme file to install....

Thank you for the tip. I tried it and i will use it in the future.

Hi,
First off i'd like to thank you for you'r work. This looks(works) beautiful!!

I don't know if i missed some important info about how to install it but i copied all the *.manila files to the windows dir on my phone and then restarted tf3d. Now i get a message that i dont have much memory left. Was i supposed to remove other manila files from the windows dir??
Please help me out cause i really want to use this "theme"

[Neo XL]

This theme needs memory from your diamond, because the original files stay in rom. Normally they were loaded to windows, when your diamond works. Now you have overwritten these windows files, but the originals are not deleted. The theme files include also windows graphics, sound and Backgrounds. Take a look, if you can place your photos and mp3´s ti Internal Storage, so there is more free space. Or try a soft reset...sometimes this can help.

[bombenbomben]

Thanx for your reply but i already reinstalled the org rom and was thinking of givinging it another try. How should i proceed? Should i put the files in the windows dir and do as you described above or is there a better way?

[Neo XL]

I have here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2740746#post2740746) a new thread, where all my themes are presented...please read here, there is a cab Version of Vista Blue shown, a link to this version is in my signature to HTC Diamond Themes.
