INTRODUCTION

In a nutshell, TF3D theme can be broken down into groups of files or "components" depending on what level you want to go down to. Traditionally when you install themes, you get the whole package. With this app, it gives you now the opportunity to break them down into seperate components which you can later deploy and create your very own personalized theme. This is the basis of this app. Below is a picture of how I have broken the components down.

Besides graphics, the other important element of a theme is the color. This app can now gives you full flexibility to modify certain components of theme like the taskbar, commandbar and font color which was not possible before for TF3D.

If this is not enough, there’s also a function which allows you to personalized your own text. Show off to your friends and tell them that you have the phone specially made for you.

How about having your theme auto change itself on a scheduled time? I can assure you that you will never get dull with your phone theme ever again.

You can also now shake your phone to change the wallpaper instantly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are quite a number of new home layouts released till now. Below are a list of them for your reference. If you want to learn how to customize your theme, pls check the link "How to Customize Your Theme" on post #3.

These are specially created manila files where it changes the original layout of a big flip clock to the analog clock layouts and etc. As these files have to modified, they can only work for respective manila version. So, please check your TF3D version before deploying these files. Right now, only WVGA is supported for the home layouts.

Easter egg for Analog Only and Analog Only Special home layout. You can press and hold the analog clock and then move them like a widget across the screen.

Enjoy :D

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING MaxTTM v3.3/v3.4/v3.5 cab

A BUNCH OF HOW TOs

1. How to create my own components - Wallpapers, WpaperP, WpaperL
2. How to use Utility tab (Backup/Restore)
3. How to use Home Layouts
4. How to Customize Your Theme
5. How to Customize Your WM6.5 Theme

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) :

Does this works on other phones beside Touch HD?
In essence, the app works in any phone. The main ingredient, TouchFlo components which are supplied together wt this app, are tweaked specifically for Touch HD using the new manila version. All graphical components like tab icons, slider, curtains, flipclock are shared across all manila version used in all HTC phones. Only specific components like the home tab layout and analog clocks are specially tweaked for Touch HD ( in my case, I'm using Duttys ROM 2.6 )

How about phones that uses the new manila version?
There is a very good chance that it will work. However, there may be some issue with resolution as the alignment are all based on Touch HD 480x800. In this case, Xperia should work well.

Can I retain some of the components that I'd captured earlier after a new ROM flash?
Yes, as long as you have installed the program in your storage card. After flashing the new ROM, re-install the app into the same location and you will retain those components that you had earlier.

After installing the analog clock layout component, why do I have a white screen?
The analog clock layout component requires you to select a wallpaper from Settings tab to fill up the background. Also, you must select both the analog clock body and hand to display the analog clock.

What is the difference between wallpapers selected from Settings tab and those that was supplied as components?
The wallpaper component is unlike the standard jpg or png images that you encounter. They are basically pre-made qtc format file used as default background. If you have not installed any wallpapers from Settings tab, this will be displayed. Also, one point of notice that in the non BG4All layout components, on the home tab will display the wallpapers from Settings tab and other tabs will display the default background. The advantage is that now you can have 3 backgrounds ( home tab, other tabs portrait and landscape ). The other reason I keep this component ( which I also use personally ) is that the rotation works faster than the BG4All layout component.

Why I can't edit my personalized text?
This can only works on the components that is supplied through me. You can PM me if you want to add this feature on your own layout.

Why I can't change the font color on home tab?
Again, this only works on components that is supplied through me. You can PM me if you want to add this feature.

Can I manually add components to this program?
Yes. All components are located in folders inside the \MaxTTM\Components folder. By giving your folder a name and putting it under the correct components category, the app will display the components when you load the app. The app can then deploy the components as if you have captured them previously.

Does the THEME COLOR works on WM6.5?
Unfortunately, no. WM6.5 uses a totally different color scheme and hopefully this can be included in later version. Now there's a new tab called "WM6.5" which allows you to tweak the outlook of your taskbar and softkey bar. Check the above "How to Customize Your WM6.5 Theme" tutorial.

I've accidentally installed the BG4all before changing the startmenu back to classic. How do I get access to startmenu now?
Go to SETTINGS tab. Click on "All Settings". In Settings, go and disable TouchFLO at Personal -> Today. You should be able to access Startmenu again. You can then run the app and set the startmenu setting.

Please read the FAQ and manual before posting any questions.

hey Max - this looks sweet!

Are we able to change for example the text like on your Max Blue Theme for dutty roms in the top horizontal bar where the operator logo is displayed?

For example - your Max blue cab changes this to show Max Touch HD on the right hand side - is this customisable using this software?

thanks in advance.

Unfortunately no. This involves modify a mode9 file and it's quite complicated to do so but maybe in the future. You can still modify yourself and then save it on the folder.

Before you install anything, always BACKUP!!! There's a function "BACKUP THEME" that you should use before you do anything else. You can later "RESTORE THEME" to get back your original theme. Pls read the instruction before doing anything.

I restored my backups many times without any problem. The backup is normally used once after you'd installed the program. This is to ensure that whatever theme that you had before are not lost. You can also add the component items on the list (if you know which file to capture:p).
