M2D change background in all tabs. - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

I searched far and wide on how to do this and finally found it, thanks to detroit_doug who posted this on ppcgeeks. Just rename any image you would like to set as a background to hh_fw_background.png (must be a png file to work or at least for me). Turn off Touchflo (settings-today-items), copy the .png file into the widows folder on your device and replace the existing one , restart touchflo and all tabs will have the background you chose. If you simply rename the extension from .jpg (or any other image file) will still work. Be wary, it slightly slows down how fast tabs are loaded, I quickly went back to the stock after changing. Good luck.

Do you have M2DC installed?
Under "background picture", choose any picture you want (no renaming, but all my wallpapers are edited to 240x320), and presto.
No slowdowns or anything.

Ok, didn't try it till today, jmitr thank you. For everyone else reading this post jmitr's way is by far better and easier than mine, there is no slowing down. Thanks again sir.

change m2d background
bigough13 u are correct with your method cause m2dc does not change landscape background. u have to replace the "hh_fw_background_landscape.png" image too in windows folder.Also the reason your method slows down how tabs load is because as jmitr said wallpaper has to be 240x320 and about 50kb large. took me a while but mine works flawlessly!! no lag or slow downs

There is no 'easy' answer to that question.
For some highlight elements of Windows Mobile (like the phone dialer or call history, and other system screens) the highlight colour is determined by .tsk files... and registry entries.
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color and change the values to whatever colour you want. This effects Windows Mobile system colours (including highlights).
You might also need to look at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today and change the colour values for whatever task file you selected to use. (HTC Black.tsk, for example).
The green highlight you see in TF3D is controlled by numerous _manila files.
The clock highlight on the Home Page, for example, is made up of 3 _manila files (1 left edge, 1 right edge, 1 middle tiled image). Another 3 _manila files are used for the call history and calendar highlight. Another 3 _manila files control the higlight on other tabs like Settings, or All Program etc.
The keyboard menu highlight, and the Communication Page highlight are all controlled by simple .png images (as these are accessed outside of TF3D.)
So to change the colour of ALL of the highlights on your phone... you have to change many things. Or install a complete theme made by somebody else (and hope they changed ALL of the images... which isn't always the case).

If you search the forum, you'll probably find 1 or 2 programs that will let you change the wallpaper with a few clicks... but that function is usually built into a program that does many other things too... and you did say that you didn't really want the theme of your phone changed!
However... editing the _manila file isn't that complicated anyway.... you create your image, import it into the manila file, copy that file to your phone... done!
Using a program (as you asked)... you would create your image, copy it to your phone, launch an app on your phone, click change picture, select your image... done.
Those 2 scenarios aren't that different or really any quicker! The only real advantage to using a program... is that you could change the background image while away from your computer. However if you want to keep 20 different wallpapers on your phone that you can select between... simply import those 20 images into 20 of the same _manila file and store them on your phone like "sports_car_4a087e41_manila" & "hot_babe_4a087e41_manila"... then when you want to change your wallpaper to one of them... simply rename whichever file to "4a087e41_manila" and copy it your your Windows directory... done!

Customize V3 TF3D menus (Size & Skinnable)

With honor to the_ape for finding the registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMenus
This allows you to modify the menu size and skin the images of the HTCMenus, as found on the new V3 TF3D, like the one in all the latest ROM's with Topaz stuff in it. See the screen prints if you are unsure what I am talking about. You need these newer menus already installed, if you not not have them yet, these settings will not install them for you.
Remark 1: Oddly though it changes the menu size for all programs, except TF3D itself....[elim]
Remark 2: Problems with menu's drawn from the top (slow with floodfill error) are solved. So it should now work with Resco, wktask, SC3. The error may still appear if you are in landscape, the menu is drawn from top and has 6 or less items. To solve that too, also restore the included bitmap to the windows directory.
The bitmaps are hardly changed (I colored 6 very critically placed pixels), but I did re-encode as monocrome & 8-bit, so the first load of the first menu should be marginally faster.
For full skinning, read post 24. But if you just want to make the menus smaller, the attached registry file will allow to fit 11 in stead of 8 menu items on a screen by reducing the tile hight from 72 to 60. To restore to the original, import the HTCMenuNormal file.
The total allowable 'Navi' + 'Item' heigth is 696 in portrait and 376 in Landscape.
Original portrait values are 72+46 which at 8 items means (46+8*72+46)=668
Original landscape values are 72+46 which at 3 items means (46+3*72+46)=308
Not only too large, but non-optimal use of space, especially in Landscape.
I use portrait values 60+18 which at 11 items is (18+11*60+18)=696 Exact!
and landscape values 57+17 which at 6 items is (17+6*57+17)=376 Exact!
So I believe these values are ideal in efficiency, large enough to select and drag, but quite a bit more menu selections (double in landscape!!). The 'Navi' is too small for the finger, but you are supposed to drag the entire menu. And they do still visualise the fact there are more menu options. Below zip file holds now these values.
Or do it manually:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
"ItemHL"="0,[B]79[/B],0,[B]6[/B]"
"ItemHW"="440,[B]60[/B],640,[B]57[/B]"
"ItemTile"="10,[B]60[/B],[B]152[/B],0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,110,121,132,143,154,165"
"NaviHW"="440,[B]17[/B],640,[B]17[/B]"
"NaviTile"="10,[B]17[/B],[B]162[/B],200,211,222,233,244,255,266,277,288,299,310,321,332,343"
"NaviIcon"="20,[B]17[/B],[B]162[/B],354,375,396,417"
I was hoping also to find a registry setting to speed up the animation (sliding, appearing from bottom) but that I did not find yet.
Below files are registry files. You can import them using your favorite registry editor. Don't forget to also copy the bitmaps to the windows directory, To uninstall/reset, import the 'Normal' registry file, which is the values as I first found them on my Dutty's 1.8 EXTREME. The bitmaps you can leave (it does not matter) or delete (the old ROM version will re-appear)
NOTICE: Even newer TF3D (Dutty 2.2, but possibly also other recent ROMS) have slightly different settings. Co0kieMonster worked it all out nicely here, so best not use the outdated files in this thread anymore, unless if you have a really old version of Manilla.
This is a cool idea, as those menus took up the whole screen sometimes. Got any screen-shotties?
Good tips. Thank you very much.
Helps if you could give some instruction on how to use the files.
I tried changing the reg vaules (all the "item" values). It does change it smaller, but causes havoc in my Resco File explorer. When pressing the favourite button, the device freezes with no drop down menu displayed at all. I then press the menu at the bottom right, and the entire screen went hair wired for a while.

There just registry files. Just import them. 'Normal' to go back to original, 'Small' to use my 10-menuline settings.
If you have .fred task manager (fdcTaskMgr) you may first have to associate .reg files so you can import. On Dutty's 1.8, this is already done. I think your resco also has a registry editor and can also import.
Or you just manually read the registry files and edit using your Resco registry editor

Odd. Are the menus OK in other programs? You should soft-reset between changes. Can you revert to 'normal' by importing that file and is the problem gone again?
There is a problem with the selection (see screenshot #1). I test a little bit and when I let ItemHL on the values "0,73,0,0" it works better (see #2).
I attach the changed registry file.
Update: The problem is now that this doesn't work in manila?! All other menus are smaller but in manila the entries are normal (#3).

I had that once too, but it went away with the next reset. So I still have the ItemHL set to 58, but the select bar looks OK. So though I do not understand ItemHL, I think it may not be the cause of what you saw.
Edit: You are correct, the ItemHL needs to stay at 73, that value probably is not related to the 72 of ItemHW

Hey, you are right. (I only use Manilla when I show of the phone, and use classic today normally) Maybe manilla uses hardcoded settings? Or some other registry settings?

The problem of hair wired display is observed in Resco file explorer when you click on the favourite (Star) icon at the top right side. The device is momentarily frozen but return back with a blinking blackist menu.
If I import in the normal registry item, this problem is gone.
Okay - I LIKE the HTC menus on touchflo apps and would like to have this style menu in ALL programs (much like in Duttys rom) such as mail, calendar etc.. How can I make this happen?
But, it works only in Manila or also in all others programs (like Resco Explorer, ecc...)?
Thanks.

It only works in other Applications. In Manila it doesn't change anything (for me). But that's okay because only in other applications the menus are to big.

Well, I'll see if I can get a copy of Resco and try if I can confirm. But if it is like you say, I am not sure if there is anything we can do about it. There is no programming or anything, just the menu size. If Resco is allergic to that, we may simply have to accept that.

This *does not install* any large menu program. You must already have the large menus installed, they come with the new TF3D. And you probably do not have that, otherwise you would not have asked. If you do not have them yet, these settings will not do anything for you.
But yes, once you have HTC Menus installed, they work in *all* programs that use the template Windows Mobile menu system. (I suspect HTC replaces the template menu driver or something)
PS: do not mistake "HTC Menu" with "LargeStartMenu", also by HTC. The latter has been around for a while, even as cab, but the menu replacement is rather new, and not extracted (yet)
Cheers for taking it further, I'd had a play with the size values (not long enough), and not got what I wanted.
You have to remember the defaults are probably set for the pro2 with a smaller physical screen, hence the big'nes on the HD.
Font's are dependent on the font family you use I've found.
Looks like the small font mess up wktask too, rending it impossible to terminate/close task, or go to the action menu. Restoring it to normal font cures the problem.
Great!

I do not think anyone extracted it into a cab yet.
And I never done anything like that. It probably means finding out all the interdependencies between files, extracting said files, extracting the service settings, and building a cab. Interesting, I am willing to try when I have the time, but don't hold your breath, it may take a while.....
Really it is a very big work!

Tell me About Themes

I am very seriously interested in designing skins or themes or whatever for my blackstone but there really is nowhere to start. There are no definitions for the things people talk about and it makes it super hard to break into this developers world.
But I guess I am looking for a few answers and tips about Themes.
What is the Top Curtain?
What is the Bottom Curtain?
Flip Background? Flip Digit?
Slider?
How to create Icons for the slider and the task bar at the top?
Details like pixels sizes, formats and ect.
Just anything about themes.
Is there a book about this? haha.
I will probably be yelled at for this post and referred to the search function but from what I have seen, there is nothing about this topic. Hmmm, Maybe this is something to add to the Wiki? These are probably the questions developers do not want to answer because this is all probably fudamental and kindegarten but I have to try.
Thanks to anyone who can post some links to guides or some tips and answers.
I feel retarded.
Don't feel retarded.
If someone is retarded it's the Microsoft and HTC programmers who figured that absolutely everyone will just love their default colors / icons / wallpapers, and so they didn't provide any support for making new skins and themes.
To cut the long story short - yes, it can be done, and yes it's kindda frustrating but if you're serious about it and you know how to work with graphics, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it all out.
First of all, you need a Manila editor. There are a few, I recommend CFC GUI and M9EDITOR, the first one being intended only for graphics, and the second one having the same but also additional things too. If you only want to skin the graphics, then you'll be ok just with CFC.
Then go to your device Windows folder and copy over to your PC any file that ends with _manila. There's like a few thousand of them, so it will take a while.
Run CFC GUI and point it to the folder where you copied all those _manila files. It will then show you a list of all the files that contain ANY graphic elements.
Browse it through and you'll soon recognize the familiar graphic items from your device. You will also notice there's a "Save as PNG" option - that will create a transparent PNG in the appropriate resolution, which you can then open up in Photoshop, edit, colorize or whatever you like.
When you're done, you save the PNG, go back to CFC, select "Replace with", load your newly edited PNG, press "CFC Compress" and voila!
The 12345_manila file you just edited has been updated!
Now you take the 12345_manila file, copy it back to Windows folder and restart TF3D.
You will see your new graphic has been integrated into the system.
First of all, Thanks a Ton!
Thousands of them eeeek. Does it take a long time to make a theme?
No problem... I've just started messing around with all of this, so I'm no pro skinner either.
Does it take long... Well, depends on your skills. And also on what kind of extent you want to cover with the skin.
The biggest problem is that most of the graphic files are a complete mess. There's no logical pattern, and they've managed to complicate things beyond reason - for example, some of the most common graphics you see on the screen are actually made out of two or more separate bitmaps, and it's up to you to figure out what is what, etc.
For example, when you click on the flip-clock on your Home screen it glows up in green - well that "green background" is made out of THREE images!
Also, some of the files are coded into Manila format, while others are just plain BMP or PNG or even GIF. Then there's a lot of stuff that's controlled through XML files...
So, when you start with all this, keep your ambitions modest - it's not something you can overcome in one day. But it can also be very rewarding
Took like 50mins to copy over. Wow. I opened it up in CFC and I can not believe anyone who has made a theme. I am trying to figure out a pattern with the file names. Sooo confusing but thanks a ton again for your help. Now I just need to find a graphics editor.

Been wondering if anyone been having this issue: on my start menu background, the lettering of the icon is black and no matter what picture I set (either stock or personal) the lettering remains black, making it quite difficult to know what each icon is. sometimes when i slide the keypad out in landscape it changes to white lettering for a short time and straightaway changes to black again. I use the Vodafone 6.5 Stock Rom.
by the way Thanks for this tip! worked for me! can change start menu and lock backgrounds but black lettering is really doing my head in.. any help greatly appreciated.

Can I set a 'no-background'? I like it plain black, without any back ground.
Is there a tweak that I can apply to the 'start menu'?
Please advise me.
Thanks in advance.
stwater jpg files
Hi all
Create a jpg file which is 480 wide and 800 tall, i.e. WVGA Portrait. Save this file as:
stwater_480_800.jpg
Do the same with a WVGA Landscape image and save it as:
stwater_800_480.jpg
Copy these two files to your device with ActiveSync/WMDC.
Copy these two files into the \Windows directory on your device using a powerful file manager such as Total Commander, overwriting if prompted to do so.
Soft Reset your device.
If you want a blank background (I assume you mean black) then you need to use a clean black image. MS Paint can be used to produce such images.
Cheers

Hi andrew-in-woking
Thank you for your response.
I was thinking of something like:
"In HKCU/Software/HTC/manilla/clear the value of
1: Cachedbackgroundpath
2: DefaultHomeBackgroundPath
3: HomeBackgroundPath"
However, that's for the background in HTC Sense. It does not clear the background for the 'start menu'.
Can you help with the registry tweak for the 'start menu'?
Thank you again.

Hey quick question. I used to do alot of graphics on motorolas and other non smartphones and file size was crucial. so minimizing file size helped with speed big time. With these processors is ther any gain to reducing file size.
To get my black background I just minimized the megapixels of my camera and took a image in the dark/while covering the camera lens. instant black image.
Would a transparent background image be more efficient?
My lock screen, today screen(sense disable) and start menu background are the same. How can I have different pic for all three? I know how to select pic for today screen but not the other two....

mANILLA 2.5.19211619.0 background on all Tabs

Im running mANILLA 2.5.19211619.0 im trying to get my background to change on all the tabs. None of the cabs are working, the only one ive gotten to work adds a huge black space at the bottom of the pic it adds, and once its done I cant change that pic. I want to add a custom picture to it and be done with it, where is the original pic stored so i can replace it?
In \Windows - they're called stwater_480_800 (portrait) and stwater_808_480 (landscape).
Have you tried HD Wall though? You can create a cab file with any picture you want, it skins the top and bottom bars and is bg4all, plus it's easily uninstallable.
Hmm
Those files do contain the background I wanted, But its still showing the weird light blur circle background instead. Changing that file does nothing.
Are you using a miri rom? The background has concentric circles in almost a low res picture? You can enhance the quality of the picture by installing the neo drivers
Again, the easiest way to get bg4all in high res is to use HD Wall.
Yup
Exactly Miri's Rom damn, your good. Ok, was searching for HD Wall, Thanks for the link. I will try HD Wall and report back.
All is great only problem is Weather Tab does not change. Its a completely different background, even from before.
Sorry about that, It was calendar And i see why its different, I was in day to day view. Thanks again appreciate it! Now the background Miri uses for start menu is the background for TFlo 3d. Thanks again!

Just lots of practice and lots of flashing of many different roms

Strange, miri must have done some coding to the weather tab to use different backgrounds. Sorry, no suggestions on that one. Perhaps try to ask in the miri thread.
EDIT: Ok, I see you were on the Calendar tab. the calendar tab on many roms has a grey backing, supposedly to make ti easier to read.
Yeah
All is good now!, Originally used Titanium but got tired of so much swiping to move around, Now to find a 20 programs menu so i can have 5 on the home screen, found a cab earlier but it messed up the wall paper

Id hate to open a new thread for this so ill post it here. I've almost got my home screen how i like it, my problem now is Notifications do not show on anything except the top start bar im on build 28011, Miri's test Rom. Im trying to add notification icons above my programs like this:

I would prefer it if the bubbles showed on the home tabs/slider bar in there appropriate icon. but anyhelp is appreciate btw im on manilla 2.5
I have gotten the Text & Email bubbles working, now im working on the Call History / Missed Calls shouldnt they show under contacts? just like the text one does.
I see you did open a new one after all though
