hi all,
i am new @ this forum and found out some nice things. I'm using s2us, g-alarm, coloured icons for those icons at the right upper corner, digital battery display.
I have some question, but cannot find the answer at several fora. I hope you can help me:
1) What is the application called, that can set the background for s2u2? and how can i change the slider icon?
2) the icons at the right upper corner, are there apps to make my own? because i dont really like those i have now. or are there icons made by others that u can recommend me?
3) how can i download/install themes? any recommended themes?
4) i have seen many threads about manila, but cannot find out what it is. is it a theme or a app?
5) how can i delete apps that i dont want to use anymore?
6) any other recommended apps?
7) how can i change my start button, to that one with the htc logo?
thanx

Just before I start answering some questions, I know that you are new here, but one of the things that you'll very very very quickly learn is that people here have little tolerance for people who don't do their own searching. We're not angry people, it's just that the questions you ask have been answered previously (maybe not in so many words) and are just a quick search away. If you look at the top of the webpage, you'll see a toolbar. Going from the right side, there is "Log Out", "Quick Links" and "Search" (there are others). Click "Search" and you will generally be able to search for whatever you want.
Another handy website is http://www.google.com.
Now, onto your questions:
1) You can change the S2U2 background simply by reading the instructions that came with S2U2. Get the jpeg you want as your wallpaper, then copy it into /Program Files/S2U2/gfx. To find out more about customising S2U2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354111
2) Have a look in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474&order=desc
3) Have a look in this same forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474&order=desc. There are many themes in here that are in the *.cab format. Simply copy+paste onto your device, then run it
4) Manilla is Touch Flo 3D
5) Start Menu -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs
6) Use the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com or search this SAME forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474&order=desc. Please please PLEASE don't ask how to use the wiki....because it's basically idiot proof.
7) This is answered in question 2. Have a look in this SAME forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474&order=desc
FINAL TIP: be patient and SEARCH in this forum. I, along with many other people in this forum, have learned the hard way that just by doing a little search and being a little patient, you can find the right answers without annoying people.
Good luck!
First off, welcome to XDA. Secondly, I think skulk3r answered your queries very efficiently and eloquently. Others possibly wouldn't as these questions have been asked many times before.
I would remind you to read the forum rules, especially No.1 Search before posting.

Apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything in my search.
The threads that I've posted in normally show an icon with a downward arrow, which makes it easy to distinguish. However, in the XDA 2010 style, I've noticed that the unread icon does not show this. As a result, when there are lots of unread threads in a forum, it's not easy to tell which ones I've posted in.
I looked at the XDA classic style and it does show the symbol for threads I've posted in regardless of whether they are read or unread. However, I prefer the 2010 theme. Much less yellow!
Can the XDA 2010 style be updated?
BUMP
Could one of the mods please help me with this issue? It makes it difficult to scan through a large amount of unread threads & know which ones I've posted in because the "you have posted in this thread" marker gets overwritten by the unread marker. Thanks!
A kind user wrote a detailed tutorial on how to create new home screens and lock screens using different launchers. He also linked to icon sets etc. I could swear it was stickied here but cannot find it any more in any of the sub forums.
Can some please point me to it.

Thanks. I couldn't quite remember the title and none of my searches turned up the correct thread.
Most forums I visit that use software like this, and in fact if I remember correctly this forum once had this feature, have dropdowns at the top or bottom that allow for quick navigation from one sub-forum to another. Is there some reason that's not available here?
Why is advanced search so hard to get to on the XDA 2015 skin? Can't find a link to it on the "forum home" page!? I have to enter a thread first before I find the gear icon... Am I missing something?
Also no "quick links", have to dig to find my posts and subscribed threads... back to 2013 skin for me...
Yea, I'm not sure there is a link to the advanced search from the main forum home page. I agree it's not ideal. You can just bookmark this link for reference if you prefer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Also, the quickest way to get to your profile/posts/subscriptions is by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner and clicking your username. So your posts/subscriptions etc are only one click away.
