[TUTORIAL] how to make a panoramic background & HOW TO CFC UNCOMPRESS FILES

[rotastrain]

use m9editor...its easy and works..

All I get is a crappy white background and messed up icons. I see no where on the first page on how to correct. Also, could it be because I am running 6.5 with 2.1 TouchFlo? It installs fine, but I have no idea... I have tried 5 times to get it to take and it just wont...? Also is there a skin thread for these?

Would it be possible for you to create the manila files with the attached png's? I followed the video tutorial and got the white background. Followed the steps in post #2 next, but still get the white background.

Thanx in advance.

EDIT: Never mind. Finally got it to work. Using cfcgui now, works like a charm

Dude great video, i was waiting for a video tut and by the way you sounded much like an indian. Which part of India are you from??

hey i saw this for my brother's Xperia & wanted to know if there is anyway you could assist in converting or showing me how to do this for yozgtag's VGA port of manila 2.1, the files are named differently...

Hey,

Great program, it looks really cool..

But, i followed the tutorial and i've got it working after some cfc compressing but now the quality of the background is really bad and ugly

And the orignal wallpaper looked really cool (and it has a resolution of 1920X1200)

Is this because the compression?? or is it maybe some bug??

Here are my PNG files, maybe someone can make a good .cab of it?

And, how to remove the widgets?? The clock and the icons?
I installed the .cab without widgets, just the simple panoramic .cab
But i still got witchets, and i don't like them
So how to remove them?

EDIT: I see what the problem is.. When i replace the manila files with my own image the quality just sucks...
Why? Anybody an answer??

If you get an unknown exception, do this...

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

Right click Manila Editor.exe and click Run as administrator.

Very good tutorial. Works perfectly!

But if you have photoshop, making your image into 3 separate images is more effective. IMO

ya but gimp is free so i made it for gimp

How can I cab the resulting manila files?

 

[JohnBecker]

I must not have all the script files needed to convert these files to manila format. After about 10 hours of screwing with it, I'm giving up. I've found with lighter backgrounds, I can't see the text message. I think this one will work much better.

Can anyone convert these to manila for the panoramic wallpaper?

They were all PNG files, but they were too large in size, so it appears the website converted two of them to JPG.

Thanks.
