[ICONS] Showaco BBExtreme ICONS TF3D Rhodium manila

A few days ago a made a "tour" at raphael app forum and there I did discover something amazing made by showaco. Here below I shall give link and copies to that thread and also will attach all necessary files. Think that showaco's work is very, very, very interesting - see by yourselves.
edit: I've extracted the icons from above theme and made them compatible with Touch HD. Icons attached in second post. For this stylish clock and mail envelope credits go to nanoo-egg :) Enjoy

This problem with white windows I have see before and has to make with the size of the icons. But I opened the cab and the icons size it was ok.
I didn't check the manila files but I think cerato didn't made something wrong.
We have to let him to find the solution. His work its perfect.
I would like to put his icons in my list.
I can stay more than 2-3 days with the same theme and Icons so I need more.
@Cerato, If you want to make my SQ transparent analog clock to look better, make it in photoshop 3 times copy-paste one over the other.
After that the poor graphics look match better.
I like also the original BBExtreme 5.0 icons. Maybe tomorrow I made them a Cab for HD.
Also Giannis86 will make his themes availably for Blackstone. So we will have more themes

Sorry to hear that, but the icons work on other roms with new manila (panosha, Leo, NRG, Dutty). Just have no idea what could cause this.

If you don't like the banner of Internet tab change it with cab attached below.

Think they can go in conflict with the mun_rus 4allbackround?

Thats could be due to your manila not being cfc compressed, but I find it hard to believe that someone would still be making rom without using cfc compression.

works on TP2??
Does it works on TP2 aka Rhodium?

After many testings I discarded registry changes and started editing cpr files and it worked
Icons distribution is controled by StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr & StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr
I got the cpr files from the latest 192_WVGA WM6.5 dump and edited them
Here they go for your customization pleasure:
(If you don't want honeycomb, just remove the "Hexagon Overlay Image" line on each one)

Thanks for this one gtrab...another fine work...

Thank You
Dear Gtrab,
Thanks.
I love this start menu enhancer.

awesome.. wat i did was copy the cpr files in the rom to my documents folder, rename it into txt file, edit it.. and rename it back to cpr.. copy it back to windows folder overwriting the rom file.. viola!! u can change it to how many rows you want!!

credit all goes to gtrab and showaco
thanks a lot!

I installed the cab, got honeycomb but not 4 icons per row.. how could I change this?

I have successfully made an image fit in portrait.. thanks to you tut.
It is working beautifully with Touch-it rom and your transparency theme.. which is sweet btw!
my question is making landscape mode the same deal or is there something that needs to change? like the size for example? I would love to know. Thanks.

GLAD TO KNOW MY TUTE HELPED YOU
to make an image for landscape just do the whole provedure in my tute n FINALLY rename the three manila files to
682089bb_manila-first part of landscape image
6832a23c_manila-second part of landscape image
6844babd_manila-third part of landscape image
Then just copy them top windows folder.
You can pan and scroll the image in my latest panosidetoside v3.0 by moving up and down on the 10th and 11th tab to move the pic up and down so u can see whicheva part of the image you want to see!!
Cheers
Rotastrain

absolutely wonderful! thanks mate!
my only question is if we want to have more than 3 parts, to keep it high resolution... which files can we replace?
i.e. can we have 12 parts of our image inserted, to make a 12 tab panoramic? or are we better off using the background for 12 tabs cab and just inserting the 12 picture parts in one after each other?

quick question Rotastrain:
why in the video do you suggest a width of 1560 and not 1536 (which is 512x3) ??

ah my bad. ..just istake.it shuld be1536

cool, thanks mate

Does anybody know if this works on the HTC Touch HD?
I've tried it, and I'm coming up with white backgrounds every time.
Would anybody know the problem?
Thanks,

Nevermind, I got it to work.
Thanks!

yeah...i have posted a tutorial underneath of what to do when u get a white backgrund in my first post ..

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

thanx i culdnt wait to change the boring grey

Yeah, it's nice. Are you going to increase resolution on the next one? Being able to use 800x800 would be nice, so it could fit in landscape as well.
Or perhaps another picture in landscape, like you did with the panoramic?

sorry to ask,
but do u mean i just have to rename my jpeg to this this name : 4FC03967_manila.jpg ?
coz i replaced the original 4FC03967_manila with a picture that i removed the .jpg at the end to become a normal file but it wont work..
thx in advance

umn..tf3d doesnt let us put images of res more than five one two by five one two..but i can write a small lua script to change the size of image when in landscapet o fit.plus another image in landscape is no problem at all!!!

owhh.. no wonder.. thx a lot rotastrain!

no problem!!

posted caps

I have installed the Rotastrain Programs wallpaper simple.cab and it works great! Thanks Rotastrain.
(I can see the ocean image in the TF3d start menu).
However if I try to make the 4FC03967_manila on my own with Manila editor and I replace the installed manila file with my created version and I select overwrite, the start menu displays a white background after soft reset.
I have attached the manila file here, it looks goodin Manila editor preview, resolution is 512x512 and I have tried all 3 header options with all the same result.
What am I doing wrong?

[TUT] Transparent Wallpapers for 3VO ROMS

You guys have been asking for it, here it is. Kinda a rough dirty way of doing it but here goes...
This will not be easy to do for newbies or people with no image editing experience. You need some Photoshop or other photo editing understanding and experience to accomplish the desired result. Eventually WM 6.5 Stanard will hopefully start supporting full screen wallpapers and transparent softkeybars or I will write an app the will automatically convert a wallpaper for you but for now...
You will need:
Your wallpaper that you want to convert (320x240)
black_softkeybar.png from \Windows on phone running a 3VO ROM (320x26)
Photoshop or similar photo editing app
The goal here is to cut out the bottom 26 pixels of your wallpaper and paste it to the black_softkeybar.png file. Then crop the wallpaper image to 320x214 top justifying. Your result will be 2 images, wallpaper.png (or .jpg) and black_softkeybar.png (must be .png, same as original filename).
Then, copy black_softkeybar.png back to \Windows on the phone and wallpaper.png to \Application Data\Home. To select it, go to Settings, Home, select wallpaper.png as your wallpaper. In order for the softkeybar image to show up, you have to reboot.
Might take some practice but give it a shot...

This is one I did a few days before you had the tutorial ,I just made mine from what was already there in the rom

in my opinion,this will be better

Awesome Ookba! Thanks for the Tutorial on this one.
Attached a few here for anyone interested depending on your tastes ladies and gentleman.

sir, how about the bar on smart toolkit, how can i change it?

here is mine!!!

cire6 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not too different....
Use your explorer to go into the SmartToolKit folder (Program Files/SmartToolKit) and then into the Skins folder (/Skins). In there you will see either one or many folders (or none if you don't have a separate skin installed). If you dont have a skin installed, google it. they are not hard to find... Once you install a skin, you will notice a file called 320x240.skin or something similar...open it with notepad (on your phone or computer) and look where it says "start bar" (commented out) ... there will either be one or more image files listed there...in either case, delete them and drop the blackbar.png file you made into this folder and in place of those other file(s) name(s) put in that one. Restart STK and you should be fine.
EDIT: If you want a cleaner way of doing this, also notice in that same 320x240 file there one for the start icon (1 for activated, 1 for non-activated)...you should remake those files to match the skin you are using on your homescreen if not, you will have your tranparent skin, and on the Start button area you'll have something totally different...

Here are a few:

Calling all programmers!
Also, I'm not a programmer but if anyone wants to take a shot a writing an app that can take a 320x240 wallpaper and cut it up into the two files to automatically create these themes, by all means!!! Go for it!
The mscr file I wrote in the Transparent Wallpaper pack CAB on the first post of this thread contains the registry settings and file locations for it to work right....
Anyone up for the challenge??

i think i made a mistake!?!?
can i have the original black_softkeybar.png file,
i think you know what i did.

I think you'll like this one, WM 7 style, though it's not transparent^^
BTW I also have the correct bronzeres.dll if you want the panels to look like WM7!

Sports Themes
Would be cool if we started sports theme ones. Like football, basketball, hockey and baseball.

Should be a copy of it in \Program Files\3VO\Transparent Wallpaper. Or just run the Transparent Wallpaper app I wrote in Start Menu\Tools and select Revert to Original.
