[themes] transparent manila - Touch HD Themes and Apps

It isn't a real theme. I have make some changes so as we have better looking
at our backgrounds. You can use it with all your wallpapers.
When we have the same background at all the Tabs, there is a problem if we use colored wallpapers or photos.
The problem has to make with the icons because they are black and look very bad.
I found a very simple solution for that. I made 50% transparent all the icons so as they look little darker than the color which has our background.
You can use it with any background color, dark or light.
Maybe later I make them real crystal, but need a lot work and I have not so match time these days.
If you like my fonds you can find them here (Thanks to Onkolog)

See the screen shots to understand more what I mean because my English don't help me.
last update 07/04/09
I have add at the People Tab the bigger transparent icons.
So I changed the CAB. Download the new one.

very nice! does this include the font used for the titles (e.g., Weather)? if not, what is the font name and how does one install to their device? also, when you press one of the transparent icons (like the call mobile button on the people page) does it change so you know it's been pressed? thanks!

Hi nanoo-eg
Please put your Picture in your Post.
The link is really bad. I don't know the others, but with me, I can't see it.
This's your second thread with I would like to see the picts.
Thanks,
KCJ

works & looks very nice on my device! i like the way they're in the background. in case you plan to refine, i'd like to share with you my observations for the people page: there are some people icons that aren't transparent depending upon the type of numbers (mobile, home) and the number of contact items (e.g., mobile, email, home). for example, if a person has only a mobile number, manila uses different (larger) icons for the mobile and text icons. neither icon is transparent. also if a person has a mobile, home and work number, and an email address, the work number icon is not transparent, but the others are transparent. hope this helps! your time, effort and contributions are very much appreciated!

looks great.does your slider work with the stock tab?mine does the ugly double icon thing! if yes can i have it.

Yes there is problem. It happens because I made my tests with a contact which has 4 icons (mobile-home-sms-mail). I will fix it right now and I 'll give new CAB

I am sorry but I am not sure if I understand you well.
Like I write at the first post it isn't a real theme.
Just I made the icons which there are on every TAB to be transparent so as every wallpaper you use, looks better because original icons have black background around them. (You must use the same wallpaper for all Tabs. If your wallpaper it is black you don't need to install this cab). But if you use a photo like a background, you need the transparency.
For example I changed to tranparency at Music Tab, the 4 icons play, pause, preview song, next song. The same I made for all the Tabs.
I don't know if I answer at your questions.

Thanks a lot, will try to use it.

This was were i was looking for, thx!

Change TF3D Tab color

I´ve modded my HD with nocurtains application and new Icons for the TF3D, however, the squares aroud the icons are still grey, is it possible to chande the color to match the theme?
If you mean like mine then I did it with the attached cab file (or at least I think it was that one that did it).
That´s it :d
How did you chenge the start icon? Have that CAB?
There's a thread about it here. I can't remember without looking but I seem to think the file also has various other icons altered. If you wanted a version with just the HTC logo altered I can do that for you? Or if you want the full coloured top bar I have a more recent version than in that thread that uses files just from the HD when possible.
I already have the colored topbar, but if you can post your version of the colored topbar with the icon changed it would be nice, can you also change the start to "iniciar" ?
Then can you post the cab for changing only the logo?
Sorry about the delay I got a bit sidetracked yesterday.
I've attached two cab files. One replaces the Start icon only (all the other icons are untouched). The other is one I created using just files from the Touch HD when possible (the other version knocking about seemed to use some differing files from the Diamond and also had two 80% battery indicators but no 79% which I've fixed). You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it. I've changed the word start to "iniciar" with a lowercase I. If you want it with a capital I let me know. I've been using the second one on my phone for a week or so but with Touch HD with no issues but other than me it's completely untested.
Also, the modified files are from a WWE ROM using English. I believe other locales use different files.
this thread will be moved to the theme , software and application section
It looks amazing
Please, send me the cab with Capital "I"
Can you explain me how do you make this cab files? To complicated for a noob?
Here's the same cab with full colour icons, HTC start icon and a capital I in Iniciar. You need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it.
To create the top bar took a bit of figuring out at first but once I'd got my head around it it's fairly easy. All the guides are on the forums somewhere. I'll have a look to see if I can find the ones I used.
Once the files are modified creating the actual cab file to install them is very simple thanks to an excellent program called Quickcab that is also on the forums. You tell it which files you want copying to the phone and where you want them, create any registry keys that may need altering (this top bar has one key that changes the amount of battery statuses to 101). You then give it a description for Remove Programs and a file name and click create.
Hi friend! I liked your botton icons. Where can I pick this theme up? Does it include Stocks icon?
Thanks
It's from an excellent Diamond theme by DjOuBhAa called Simply Black. When the Touch HD first came out someone adapted the full theme but I only wanted the bottom icons so I took out the manilla files for the icons and made my own cab file. Unfortunately it doesn't include a Stocks tab icon (the original didn't either).
I've attached the cab I used as well as No Curtains to remove the top and bottom curtains and Pamas Transparant Slider to give a transparent slider and remove the background on the icons not currently highlighted.
It also looks very good on a lighter background
Hello, in the transparent slider i see an whit symbol only over the indizies-tab.
All others are ok. Can you help, that all tabs are blank, when sliding?
Thanks
Manfred
Thanks a lot for the icons and all the work you had.
There is only one other thing I would want it to change if possible, the battery icon, I saw one that looks better in my opinion, it´s somewhere around xda, but can´t find the link, please see post #2202 in the following link.

I've just double checked my Remove Programs and also my Cab folder and they're definitely the two I installed (apart from the actual icons) to get my slider as it is. The only thing I can guess at is if the order you install them in could make a difference? Maybe try them the other way around?

[BYO theme] Give me your ingredients, I will do the cooking

BUILD YOUR OWN THEME
Ok folks, here it is, a change to make your own theme. As cool as I think I am, I bet you guys have some pretty good ideas for themes so Im making this a cooking thread for your own person recipes.
These are the ingredients I need:
- Build type, RC30 and ADP1 are preferred but I can make RC8 as well
- Icon pack, you can find any group of icons to use in an size, this means application icons, status bar icons, just anything you want but you have to supply it
- Image for the status bar in portrait and landscape.
So ya, I am kinda figuring this out as I go so post what you want made into a theme and I will see what I can do.
You rock!! I gather a list for ya and post it soon.

This is a pretty cool idea, though I suspect you're gonna get absolutely flooded with requests
If you need files sizes or types let me know or ask and Im sure a bunch of people can answer.
You do know there are requests for themes here.
You can start with a few of those
gucci theme
i dont really have any real ingredients as you put it jus diff icons and use the gucci colors
Well I was hoping it would be more for the people who know exactly what they want and dont know how to put it together than just the people coming up with new ideas. So if you know you you want my carbon fiber status bar, with the silver status icons from Blue Star 5 and defaults icons with one of your own, I could take those things and make a theme out of them in like 30 minutes.
Just close this thread if you would rather me pick it up in the other thread.
What you stated is exactly what i had in mind. Ill pm with my "wishlist and icons" and we can go from there.

I really like your Karbon theme, id like the status bar just grey like deep black, your status icons , and this battery meter. is this possible?
http://www.filehosting.org/file/deta...parannoyed.rar
Not sure but i think i saw that icon set on deviant art. might want to take a look.
The status icons from Karbon are great, just the batt meter change.
here are a few icons id like included:
D3ath star=settings
Kerry King guitar=my music
internet=browser
email=email
not sure if you are changing the settings context (menu key menu) with pics
craniac=dialer
flame=messaging
book=contacts
I have an idea....this is gonna get carried away lol
Place all pics in a zip folder with a text file directing what should get done and upload a zip ONLY.

Im building it now, I assume you want RC30 right? And if you can get those icons as PNG files with transparent backgrounds it would be best, if not I can see what I can do.
And just to confirm, the status bar in a dark color will make it so you cant see the text, if thats fine its fine with me.
To respond to Mikey1022, would it also be ok to host them on a site like photobucket and link the pic in the post or would you prefer zip files?
Theme ic iconsons

I would just say use your own judgement. If someone will look at the theme and be instantly reminded of another one you pulled from you might want to give a lot of credit to it, but if it was just a platform to start with and its mostly your own creation I would just mention who the theme came from. Just think about it as if it was your theme being used by someone else. Personally its a huge compliment.
you are right perhaps the light grey status bar from macdroid would be better.
Yes RC30, sorry for the lack of info.
I am really contemplating dual booting fedora or mandriva, to better acquaint myself with this stuff.
Ya, I was going to do it with this one but it was way too dark until we can change font colors.
good call, i hope you guys will have access to changing font color soon.
Thanx for doin this, til i force myself to figure it out on my own.
Just for everyone's knowledge, these icons are not my creation. I have collected them over the last year or so from different icon packs mainly downloaded from deviantart. this is mainly a personal theme, that i find appealing for me to look at.

Transparent taskbar and bottombar like wm6.5 possible?

Hi Folks,
first thanks for the beta of wm 6.5 which brings me to one question
on this picture posted by Cloudyfa you can see that the startbar and bottombar is transparent.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb271/Cloudyfa/BetaWM65.jpg
is it possible due to file exchanges to get this also working on our now 2.03 diamond versions.
do you think it is possible.
i tried searching of an alphatransparent colour in wm6. so that i may be change it but no luck so far.
but when i tested wm6.5 i realized with the transparent bottom and top. my handyscreen looked even bigger.
would be nice to hear or see, if someone could make this possible

it's not transparent
in the first screenshot it's transparent.. just look
if u look very closely at the bottom right, ull notice that the boat doesn't quite align, also the text in the center disappears behind the bottom bar, this leads me to believe it isn't relay transparent but just a cropped picture that's the same as the background. However when i change the background those bottom bars change as well, but there still not aligned properly
this neverminds.
it's only 1px so you'll never notice it
anyway. it must be somehow possible. also when it is an the mainscreen.
but this would be awsome if someone could possible make an cab.
or just upload the tsk file. maybe there is a colour set as alphacolour.
dev's pls do it for us.
These screenshots are fake. I'm not going to tell you why - you should be able to find out for yourself.
Believe me or not, I don't care, but you'll see when 6.5 comes out, that I was right.

dude just check out the news. wm6.5 is official by MS and they have even given a demo of it on touch diamond 2.
the pics are real.
It isn't fake, but i believe it wasn't implemented properly by Microsoft, it hink the top and bottom bars just take part of ure wallpaper and set it as their backgrounf instead of actually being transparent, but it's a similar effect.
cmon guys.. have some sense!
1. they are not fake. I'm running this exact ROM right now
2. taskbar is not transparent. If any of you have used SE phones in the past, like K800, you'll know, it's just a theme which changes the graphics in the taskbar. looks nice as long as you like the main background. If you change the background, those cropped pictures in the taskbar remain there and look [email protected]

exactly my point, the OS may be real, but the transparency is fake
did you try changing your homescreen wallpaper to your own image. what do you see?
is it's also transparent.
Transparency is not fake and its real.
See what's new in windows mobile 6.5
The transparency you see isn't a "real transparent". The new CHome (Titanium home ui) creat that from your wallpaper to have it look like transparent. Anyone using WM6.5 can do a quick test by uncheck Titanium in Setting\Today to see
IMO, M$ already messed up by not doing a 'real' transparant bar

Change program icons in Manila 2.5

Hi,
I asked this before, but only got a program to change the program icons in the windows start menu...it didnt carry over to the program icons in manila (im using Valkyrie_v5.7 24001)
I would prefer to have all icons in a similar fashion...some are low res and some dont fill the rounded square well.
Hope this made sense
Thanks
Use the program, then once you've changed the icons, delete all the contents in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher then soft-reset.
By the way, I recommend nullstring's Icon Changer. He's an X1 user as well, so you're sure it'll work on your phone.

im using the ireflect icons, i know they look like a gayphone...but they do look quite smart.
what icons you guys all use? im looking two that dont fit in at the moment;
ie icon (rounded corners)
marketplace (again, rounded corners)
If you are interested in some other ideas about icons, I can suggest those:
drik´s icon pack
dZenkinZ Iconset
tnynnt´s Application Icons
DINIK´s HD2 Icon Set
And maybe there´s even more on xda... those suggestions are just from the
forum I visit most these days...

vector color icons

hey guyz.,
i just wanted to see colored icons on my windows phone, so i started working on it.
but two months back i got an android phone and now i'm too busy.,
i colored few icons(you can see the result in attached images).
so if any of you are interested please color the remaining icons and share.
thank you
@Sai Chrisna, I can tell you truly (nothing personal): if these icons was built in original WP UI, I'll never buy that "colorful" junk
Colored icons actually adds nothing to UI, but color scheme you've used looks really ugly.

Maybe 'cause I have a "sense of style"? You know, the really good icons (or any miniatures) creation requires a lot of stuff; you can't just colorize vector graphics and get a good result.
From my point of view, one of a great advantages of the "Metro UI" is a simplicity and brevity, and colors are not a part of the whole idea.
As for your friends: all people are different (and it's good of course!), many young guys are using naked gals pics or "Pokemon" themes for their handsets but I'm not of this kind :laugh:

If you haven't observed.,
I did not just add colors, i re-edited almost all the main icons, except for the "apps" icon that recently appeared on creators update.
I understand you've got that same old sense of style as Microsoft., No offense, but what's wrong? why don't you keep calm if you are not interested...
There are some people like me who use "third party themes & icons" on desktop and want to apply the same concept here on phone.
Don't post your personal opinions and discourage people who are interested in doing something cool.
perfect ?
but i dont like the android icons
look like setting icon or sim card

@sensboston
they are good looking icons even if not your style. have you produced any? lately?
@esgibtnur1, they aren't good: bunch of different styles, bad color gamma, not relevant images (to icon's meaning).
As for "have you produced any?": I'm not an artist (but I have a good sense of style) but one of my app tiles ("Voice Translator") was selected by Microsoft to appear on the gift card.
