This is my beloved black/green original HTC Manila theme and maybe a "reference" for others manila skinner.

Black default HTC theme for graphics & default green highlights for all colored components (checkbox, buttons and so on)

no screen needed as we all known default htc black theme

developed and tested with itje's latest build, currently T-mobile one from 6.1 2.604 kitchen. Feel free to try on other roms, it should work, but keep in mind that results may be different.

why 2 cab? to separate "static" graphic elements form indicators, selectors and so on. It's a huge work, done once for all (I hope :( ).

  • guap Manila Default Black.cab contains only "static" graphics (tabs, bars...)
  • guap Manila Green Hilights.cab contains only "skinnable" items (selectors, checkbox, buttons) to keep simple for others to change colors on their own without having to search all of them.

    If you want i.e. to make a "red" theme, just edit files in Highlights.cab and you're ready
    Or if you want to have black back on your t-mobile manila but keeping the blue/gray selectors and indicators, you can install only Default Black

How to install: disable manila, install cab (always to device if asked!!!), then re-enable manila. Soft reset shouldn't be required, but has to be the first option in case of weird behaviours
All cabs are unistallable and shold be an harmless process, but ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP with something like sprite backup or spb backup.

Other goodies

  • guap Green Fingermenu.cab for default green fingermenu
  • guap Green UsbToPC.cab for default green UsbToPC popup
  • guap Manila Green EnlargeStartMenu.cab for green EnlargeStartMenu
  • guap Manila Blue T-Mobile EnlargeStartMenu.cab for restore t-mobile colors on EnlageStartMenu (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
  • guap Manila Green Taskmanager.cab for green TaskManager (tnx to itje)
  • guap Manila Blue T-Mobile Taskmanager.cab for restore t-mobile colors on TaskManager (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)

  • Default Indicators.zip once for all, some files MUST to stay green, i.e. the stock chart indicators: they are these files, if you get fuzzy stock indicators installing a custom theme, drop this in \windows and should be fix

Fix

  • guap Manila raindrop fix.cab t-mobile manila has ugly rains, probably messed up during blu-colorizing process: this will fix ugly raindrop on weather tab ;)

Sorry about rapid, but this manila doesn't support cfc, these 2 are too big for the board:
guap Manila Default Black.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177011/guap_Manila_Default_Black.cab
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177012/guap_Manila_Default_Green_highlight.cab

@BobAndrews: not from me at the moment. I released separate cab to encourage other users to make their own skin starting from standard green package
with a script (even in photoshop afaik) should be simple to change saturation to all files at same time ;)

Code:
      <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager" translation="filesystem">
         <parm name="ManilaCustomHlUp" datatype="integer" value="4666152"/>
         <parm name="ManilaCustomHlDown" datatype="integer" value="4666152"/>
      </characteristic>
thank you! Stupid me, i was looking in HKLM near the enlargemenu... -_-'

Realized that this is still missing the new modifications to the dialer..
but those have to be done in the registry, which is a lot of work.
Dont blame ya if you dont want to do it :)

wich modification? This is related to manila only, manila isn't supposed to have a dialpad :confused:

can you post a screen?

@tomzibad: of course, open package with m9editor, extract clock png (they are clearly recognized ) and make your own color ;)

Is there anyway to change to selection colour for the notification manager?

When I click it, it's still the same colour that I got rid of everywhere else. I still have a weird blue/grey/purple colour. And I would like the green in the notifications manager.

thanks guap for your cabs, very useful.
I installed them to remove t-mob customizations in the rom i use. I wanted to rollback to default HTC classic scheme.
But after applying the cabs, the UI remains the same, strange to me, even the flip-clock (I don't like t-mob white-on-black clock). Your cab contains both square backgrounds, as well as digits, suppose the digits are white and the background is black in your cab file?
Pls advice, howto revert to black-on-white flip-clock?

Dear knaplullig, guap
I noticed a problem, after installing Plain HD TF3D.cab,
my start menu stopped working (before when tapping on 'start', I had programs menu, not the classic start menu).
Which .manila file is to blame?

Dear All,

anyone, who uses this Plain TF3D tweak, do your start menu work ok?
Mine (I had programms when tapping 'start' -- before installing Plain TF3D cab) just stopped responding to taps. Winkey on Hw keyboard works (old-style start menu).

Anybody has suggestion, what has to be corrected in order to have responding startmenu back again?

FOUND!
I've found the file which froze startmenu.
It's 5c9aa261_manila. Can it be fixed somehow?
