Win 6.1 & Facade Home Screen & Slider Help

I installed 6.1 earlier today and Facade 1.4.1 (the tabs in particular) will show up at the top of the screen regardless of order and the left and right on the D pad works for the selected slider AND the facade tabs.
Does anyone know how to edit the xml to make use of the tab plug in and the slider???? Very important for me to have the tasks and calendar on my home screen.
Attached is a .swf file my home screen and the conflicts they are having.

Has anyone been able to figure OP's question out yet?
Is there a way to incorporate the facade scheduler and tasks preferably without the tabs into the slidiing panels?? Maybe one panel for each?
I would have the perfect homescreen if I could figure this out..

To my understanding, you can not use Facade, as of yet. With the sliding panels theme.

How to increase SMS font size in Manila?

Hi all,
The Manila interface is great, I like it very much but I have a small problem; the font size is too small and thin which makes it hard to read messages in SMS tab especially under sun light or day light, bright conditions.
Is there a way to change the font size or perhaps make the font italic, underlined or bold option for SMS tab?
Thanks in advance.

Try:
Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text size

That only changes the text size in native Windows Mobile dialogs; like sms inbox etc. not in Manila interface. So I am still trying a solution.

aegeuss,
just wondering if you ever figured out how to change the font size per your request? I'm still looking for the answer.

i have seen a mod in which ther's a button to increase or decrease font size in message tab..
i haven't found it in the net anyway...

No unfortunately not; there are two similar threads as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539091 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604 but the method in these threads change the system fonts completely. There's not an easy way to play with the manila interface fonts (size, color etc.) as afar as I know.
It's good one way that the new manila interface develops with each version but it reduces chances to tweak it for power users. May be that's the way HTC wants it, who knows.
Regards.

thanks for that info.
Personally, i think that it sucks that so much work has gone into making such a nice interface (i.e. the manilla interface) and yet no provisions were make to allow for the (seemingly simple) capability to alter the system font size. I understand that changing the font-face might not be so easy (who knows what fonts each of us might have installed) but the font size... really?

p.s. sorry for ranting.

Re-arrange TF3D tabs page shows blank screen?

Hi all,
Somehow after a hard reset and installing all my fav apps and tweaks I cannot re-arrange the TF3D tabs anymore.
Normally I would go to settings > re-arrange tabs (don't know the exact phrase in English as my TP2 is Dutch) and I could move the tabs order up/down and deselect tabs. Now it just shows a blank screen.
AFAIK the link to this screen just launches a separate executable, so I would like to know where it is located so I can launch it separately through Explorer.
Thanks for any suggestions!

*kick*

OK, so I managed to add a separate launcher to the start menu for this page. But still I get the same page as the picture above.... so this must be some kind of background color issue perhaps?
I would really hate to hard reset my TP2 again as I have just about everything the way I like it.....
If anoyone knows which files are responsible for this page could someone post these filenames and perhaps upload the default stock ROM files?
Thanks a lot.

just google L-Columns.v2.home.xml and i found that you need some orange.dll but i don't know where to put it.
This theme mentioned above has facade and fizz weather in one column.

also orange default theme in SPV smartphone models has nice solution but you cannot access with xml. When i open orange.home.xml there are only few lines. Some basic stuff as title, icon bar and organge plugin function in couple of lines.

If someone figures out how to successfully create columns in a CPR I will be ecstatic. I have tampered with the Columns="" and Rows="" parameters in the Titanium CPR so much, and still can't find a way to do it. For now, I dont actually think it is possible to have a two-column or two-row CPR Homescreen (at the moment). I do hope this gets some attention (and maybe a solution)!

I've found solution and it works.
As i said just download L-Columns.v2.home.xml and install JRulez_OHSP.cab because it saves orange.dll somewhere in the phone.
Now i have RJTime (analog) clock and date on the left side of my home screen and SMS/MMS/Mail on the right side.
I still dont get why every uploaded theme and every thread about home screen design in this Excalibur subforum is about C-home theme.
My personal opinion is that you can create most powerfull theme, most "business one" theme in classic way, creating good xml theme with couple of plugins and couple of programs as RightKey etc.

xmarkom - Can you please upload these files to this thread, or post direct links to them. i would be very interested in making a theme using this concept (and adding it to my CycloneSkins collection). I tried google, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks a bunch!
(By the Way the "CHome" layout is named because of the CHome panel which is the panel which tells you how many missed calls, SMS, MMS, and Voicemail you have. This panel is a significant part of the CHome layout in terms of efficiency. I believe that is why it is called the CHome layout, although in the 6.5 roms it is the Titanium Layout, and in 6.1 and below it is called Sliding Panels Layout)

any screnshots??

ok but i'm seek of this titanium layout and sliding panels layout because everybody talk about that, and thats all the same thing.
xml traditional home layouts should be better.

Wouldn't agree and if i personally wanted a old home screen i'd stick with WM6 to which is cumbersom looks like a dinosaur and not as tweakable as 6.1 or 6.5.
Can you please upload the files that peeps asked for as a google search with that criteria will get them no where...

please post link, i would like to have this

TF3D Tweak?

Hello, I have the US T-Mobile version of the Touch Pro 2, and was wondering if it was possible to tweak TF3D so that the favorite people tab is switched with the MyFaves tab. If you have this version, you will know that you have the option of displaying MyFaves without a home or people tab, or hide MyFaves and have the home and favorite people tab show... I want to have the home tab show as well as the MyFaves tab in place of the favorite people tab. I just think the favorite people tab in Manila 3D sort of sucks and is more looks than user friendly... Manila 2D is definitely easier to use when it comes to the contacts tab. Any way to do it? I was thinking a registry tweak might make it possible but I'm not very experienced with that so I wouldn't really know. Thanks for any info that can be given.

I know this is old but if anyone is searching and comes across this thread, the hack to do this is:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila:// (now you can select whatever home tab you want to edit, in this case myfaves or people) .page.hidden
If you have myfaves display turned off and want to make it appear alongside your home tab, change this value from 1 to 0
If you have myfaves display turned on then you will have to edit home and people registry entry instead and change them both from 1 to 0
Now you can go into organize tabs and select home, myfaves, and people tab if you want.
