how to make panorama backgrounds? - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

hey folks,
can anyone tell me and everyone else how to make a proper panorama background? since rotastrain uploaded his new customization (big thanks... i appreciate your work you improve my touch experience so much!) and not everyone might be comftortable with the red heart background i just wanted to ask which size such a picture needs.
i cannot open the manila files that are responsible for the panorama pictures. how to open them? and are their any good tools picture editors for free on the internet?
i would like to make some backgrounds by myself and i'm looking forward that there will be more choices on different backgrounds and colors like in the diamond forum!
best regards max

hey fikachu,
i will be uploading a video tutorial in this thread today or tomoro.reserved for tuotorial.
thank you for the appreciation!

[SKIN][TF3D2][18-06-09] AnX1 Nature's Grace V1.0

(Click the image to download)
Donations are much appreciated!
​
Introduction:
This is based on my previous "Shadowsong" skin (which no longer exists).
Many people found that too gloomy and dark, so I adapted and made it... happier!
In the process I tried to preserve the balance between tech (glow, embossed) and
nature (background, colors) which I also tried to approach in Shadowsong.
This skin uses a lot newer code, with some neat features. Enjoy!
Changelog:
* None yet! *
Upcoming features:
- Improved start menu
- Inside menu's graphic tweaks
- Improved media player layout.
Features:
- Fully skinned TF3D2 with files from Rhodium build 1.19.
- Panoramic Background modification
- Improved Slider modification.
- Sprint clock modification
- Complete skin, including submenu's.
Acknowledgements:
- Guap: Sprint clock mode9 files.
- Rotastrain: Slider and panoramic background mode9 files.
Installation:
- Download the .cab file
- Copy the file to your device or memory card
- Run the .cab and install it to main memory
- Restart your phone
* If your TF3D becomes white after installation, your ROM or TF3D2 installation does not support CFC (Chainfire's compression). Download the compatibility cab and install that instead. (can be done on top of the previous install) *
Compatibility:
- Should be compatible with all TF3D2 Rhodium builds.
- WM6.1 confirmed.
- WM6.5 unconfirmed, but should work.

Rotastrain made small tutorial on how to make backgrounds for this. (It's his panoramic code). Search for it, in this forum.
While I really appreciate the scenic background, I must say that reading white text on the light background is really not comfortable. Either the text will have to be made darker or that beautiful background has to change!
Yes, Rota made a nice tutorial to make panoramic backgrounds, but for those of us who have no IT skills, is there some place where panoramic backgrounds are available that we could just dump into a folder ... easy and simple?
The background is 01253_silence_1280x800.jpg from interfacelift.com (maybe the source is another size then 1280x800).

Actually, that is not my source. It's a wallpaper that is available at several sites all over the internet.
I've received quite some feedback on the TP2 forum, regarding some issues and suggestions.
Does everyone in here think it's just fine as it is? I'm not getting many replies, so I'm actively asking for 'em now.
Really nice, great job guy.
After installed, there is a part of white color on the "moving tab", even when I move it to anywhere , it still nothing change, but the backgroud of the tab such as home , message, mail ,etc, which is no problem
On this solution, is that mean's "If your TF3D becomes white after installation" ?
Beacuse I have also tried install 'compatibility cab' but there is nothing change, thx

No, that's not the same bug. With the white, I mean entire manila.
Please post a screencapture of the bug, so I can better understand what the problem is.
it's look like this ( I used your screen shot )
I am using X1 firmware R3AA010 , TouchFLO 3D 3.0.38196.3 B3

I see. I haven't seen this problem before. I think it's because Rotastrain's crystal slider isn't compatible with the CAB TF3D2. Rotastrain is the only one I know who can fix this. You had best ask him, so he can tell you which files he needs from you to be able to patch it.
help with stock icon
Hi Angelusz. This is a really great theme. I am having a problem with the stock preview icon. The 174ba15d_manila contains the correct image (see cfc gui screenshot), but displays the old stock icon (see other screenshot). I think this might have to do with the manila name. 174ba15d_manila is named stock_preview.qtc, while all of the other preview icons are named filename-hero.qtc (ie home-hero.qtc). The stock preview icon is the only one not listed under manila\icon preview. However, I do not know how to change the manila file name, so I cannot test it. Would you be able to test this to see if it corrects the issue? Thanks.

Wait, so how do you get the background image to move when going through the tf3d tabs, and is it possible to add own background that moves like that?

That moving background is Rotastrain's Panosidetoside. You can modify it, as it's just normal manila image files (QTC).

Hi,
at the moment I'm using a modified version of skero666's abstract landscape - as because of the clouds I couldn't see the text I removed them from the picture:
[click for big size]
Well, here are my two Samurai Jack wallpapers - portrait and landscape. Ive created them by following the instructions in the modification thread. Yet, my x1 is showing 2 of 3 Jacks and 2 of 3 Akus...But it's like that with all panoramic backgrounds I use, no matter created by myself or someone else. Enough talking - here there are, try them by yourselves and hope you like em :
Portrait :
Landscape :
Well, that would be my second creation. I post it in a new reply here (no edit) just to have its own separate attachment and the end....So here it is - an abstract urban + wild (which I edit with PS for a style likeness) :
...portrait :
...landscape :
Nice Work!

Hi butz007,
Like your work!
Are you into creating animated gif as well? I like to have matching startup and shutdown animation for my TP2 in wvga format, same as Blackstone If you could make some with maybe matching wallpapers for TF3D and S2U2 and some TF3D tab icons perhaps that would be brilliant.

using shake and save, make a screen shot all your program tabs and operations on going on there, which btw may i ask you the windows 3.5 that you were telling me is the vertical sliding navigation with the hexagon shape icon on their start up? right? does the hexagon shape can be customize?; say it can reduce its transparency and make it more visible, and it recalls an image, just like mine it recalls my today's image background, so we could really make some fun out it...
make a screen and post it here let me see what i can do?
cheers!!!!

A TP2 is very much like a Blackstone with a slide-out keyboard. At moment I'm using the wallpaper with the flames that came in the default set. For S2U2, home screen, all TF3D tabs and XDAShutdown. My startup ani is the Windows 7 one that's floating around.
What I'm thinkinhg of though is Gotham city as a background where it's almost dark, to give the screens some depth viewed from let's say 6th floor? The darkness is for contrast with the fonts and icond from TF3D. Maybe it can be aranged that the weather tab isn't too much interfering with the picture. For startup ani the same picture would be the end slide and it might be starting complete black and then lightens up a bit, some light go on in some of the buildings. Can you see the picture in your mind? The shut down ani might be same but the other way around.
Splash screens? I think frames that give you a close up from a part of Gotham or some stills from the last movie.
Problem is I can sketch it maybe on paper, but not on a computer. And in words, well let's see what you think off it.
How about graphics/art for and application?

Requesting Some Help With Icon Color Changing

Hi guys. I recently stumbled upon an awesome Icon set I really like, except for the grey coloring.
I am no graphic artist and I'm terrible with photoshop. Could some one please make the phone, globe and camera shutter icon a much more brighter black/white icon(s)? Below is a sample of how I would like the coloring to be, minus the dock bar of course.
I claim no right to any of these images or icons. If you'd like to help me, the files are attached below. coloring_i_want.jpg gives you an idea of the coloring for the icons I would like.
These awesome icons were done by Ilia Draznin at some url this post will simply not let me link since I am new to the forums *sigh*.
Thanks in advance.

[REQUEST] Themed FB App

Hello guys
I was wondering if it would be possible to change some of the color elements of the FB app as it is mostly white, which is the least friendly on bettery life for super amoled screens. I'm no good [absolutely useless?] with image editing, BUT I have prepared an example-ish thing for you. You're welcome to have a good laugh at it =P But I'd really appreciate it if it could have been done. The numbers in the pic suggest where which color could be used.
Thanks
