you will get a file called m9editor 3.3.0.zip.Put the the three files you want to uncompress in the same folder as this file.

2>Extract the contents

Mine is l:/panorama bkg

Great job bud, Cheers to you!!

I have successfully made an image fit in portrait.. thanks to you tut.

It is working beautifully with Touch-it rom and your transparency theme.. which is sweet btw!

my question is making landscape mode the same deal or is there something that needs to change? like the size for example? I would love to know. Thanks.

GLAD TO KNOW MY TUTE HELPED YOU
to make an image for landscape just do the whole provedure in my tute n FINALLY rename the three manila files to

682089bb_manila-first part of landscape image
6832a23c_manila-second part of landscape image
6844babd_manila-third part of landscape image

Then just copy them top windows folder.
You can pan and scroll the image in my latest panosidetoside v3.0 by moving up and down on the 10th and 11th tab to move the pic up and down so u can see whicheva part of the image you want to see!!

Cheers

absolutely wonderful! thanks mate!

my only question is if we want to have more than 3 parts, to keep it high resolution... which files can we replace?

i.e. can we have 12 parts of our image inserted, to make a 12 tab panoramic? or are we better off using the background for 12 tabs cab and just inserting the 12 picture parts in one after each other?

 

[drjeram]

quick question Rotastrain:

why in the video do you suggest a width of 1560 and not 1536 (which is 512x3) ??

 

[rotastrain]

ah my bad. ..just istake.it shuld be1536

 

[drjeram]

cool, thanks mate

Does anybody know if this works on the HTC Touch HD?

I've tried it, and I'm coming up with white backgrounds every time.

Would anybody know the problem?

Thanks,

 

[Jubestwager]

Nevermind, I got it to work.

Thanks!

 

[rotastrain]

yeah...i have posted a tutorial underneath of what to do when u get a white backgrund in my first post ..

 

[kappo78]

When I try and use the manila editor, an unknown exception arises and I cant replace the files, any help?
