Troubleshooting (some Solutions/Hints from the threads):

Vodafone freezed clock
Here the solution for the 0:00 clock problem,
i updated with the new Vodafone Rom 1.97, then installed the black theme
again and everything works great.

IDS_xxxx
If you have problem with texts displayed in "IDS_xxxx" please read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...nila3DLanguage
probably your don't have some file

Changing Menu Text Color
delete the folowing reg key to return to orginal Textcolor on Start Menu
Path: HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
DWORD name: ManiliaCustomText
to change to any other color, edit the hex value of ManilaCustomText (if not exist then create)
FFFFFF -> black
000000 -> white
...

Weird Font on Touch Pro
DiamondTweak is what you need to download.
Section 17 of the Program.
17.7 Cleartype in Landscape Mode - Disabled
This fixed all my white font and weird font problems...I am on a Touch Pro though, but it may help you too.

Grey Taskbar
Go to start -> Settings -> Today and select the "Htc black" .tsk
(if it is already selected, choose an other first [e.g.Windows-standard] and switch then back)

Note: Because I still do NOT own a Diamond PRO myself, supporting this Device isn't easy...

the background is much better, but its going to be tough getting rid of my sprint theme.

NisseDILLIGAF · Sep 26, 2008

or maybe htc stole my background image squares!!

Where did u get this 'original' HTC Theme?

This is my Black Diamond Theme...

Could you also modify the blue O2 theme for the 1.93 ROM?
That would be fine

Markusz · Sep 27, 2008

Hi!

Whats your TF3D Config version number what you use with 1.93 ROM??

Thx!

marcovdb · Sep 29, 2008

Not suitable for Raphael yet.

Thanks for the good work.
I installed it over my T-Mobile (horrific Pink theme) MDA Vario IV and looks good. Exept for the landscape screen when the keyboard is slided open. Then the orginal icons are not there at all. Perhaps something for the next update. Thanks in advance.

I noticed the same thing on my Voda branded TP. But the black theme looks absolutely brilliant. I am not going back to the original red ever.

jinxey · Sep 30, 2008

I'm trying to modify my theme on the new 1.93 Rom from the US 3G version Diamond... I'm using Total Commander to try to modify the read only permission sets of the Manilla files so I can write over them. However it doesn't seem to be working. Are there other programs available? Trying to update to use NisseDILLIGAF background

rivit · Oct 1, 2008

you have to disable Touch Flo first, then just copy the manila file to windows using total commander

I think no one would think this would be such a problem

Do u have HTC black in Today themes?
I've attached a the HTC Black.tsk, just unzip, copy it to windows and try to activate it in Today...

matsy · Oct 2, 2008

Thanks,
Seemed all I had to do was select a different theme, then reselect the htc theme......BINGO.... phone looks fantastic. I am now going to see what other things I am incapable of doing. I know that I will have further questions, and that I am a bit of a techno-cretin, but I hope you guys will continue to help. This is a great forum by the way, very helpful indeed.
