hi
this manila file is intended for the little notification about new sms or mail. is the green circle that you get when a new sms or mail is coming.
changing this manila file you can get a different color and a different aspect.

Thanks giangishanghai,
my question was , how can I use this file too.
It's not a cab , it's not exe....it's just a file and I don't know how to install it.
Can you explain me please.
Thanks
P.S.: How can I backup the original settings , so I can go back if I does't like it ?

Here is how:
1. Copy the manila file in question to your desktop (PC) or wherever.
2. Download Manila Editor over in the Diamond Forum (in "Themes, Software..." sub-forum).
3. Open Manila Editor and open up your manila file by clicking "Select Path."
4. Using manila Editor, export the image in the manila file as a PNG, or whatever format you like.
5. Use a program like Photoshop to change the color.
6. Using Manila Editor, replace the image in the manila file with the one you altered with Photoshop.
7. Backup your original manila file from your windows folder (i.e., copy it to your storage card or somewhere else).
8. Disable TFLO3D (setting-->personal-->today--> Items).
9. Copy your changed file into windows with total commander (or resco explorer).
10. Restart TFLO3D.
Hope this helps.

I've missed Manilla Editor software
Thank you very much sk806

Easy Tutorial to get a Background in all Tabs

Hi,
i've read here a lot of Threads to change the background in all tabs. For me is the effort to much, for only changing a background. After little bit of trying around about the i've found an suggestion. I made the tutorial for using no curtains. It run also with curtains, but don't know if the design correctly.
Tutorial:
preparation
Make a buckup of the following manila files:
1864da05_manila
5c9aa261_manila (I think it don't exist at the first time)
4a087e41_manila (I think it don't exist at the first time)
you need:
- a picture with 480 x 800
- Files 5c9aa261_manila , 1864da05_manila (can be downloaded in the attachment)
- M9Editor
- !! Important for using the M9Editor you need the .net 3.5 !!
steps
- Resize the picture to 536 x 800 px
- Resize the picture to 512 x 512 px
- Save the File as png
- Open the m9editor and open your resized picture
(don't foregt to say "all files" while opening)
- the save it as QTC with the following name : 4a087e41_manila
- On the HD disable the Touchflow
- Copy the three manila files with the totalcommander or resco explorer into
the windows folder änd overwrite the old files
- Enable the touchflow again and you get your picture in all tabs
For no curtains you need:
- no curtains
- and the fix from !SIGNH!
Thanks on !SIGNH!, Zal and jeannot61 von XDA.

it's enough, isn't it!?

I don't think so, it is to complicated just for changing a Wallpaper in all tabs! The way i do this is easier you must only create one pic and you get the backgrund for all. I have tried the solution, but nothing is working really fine!

all you need is manila editor (you can do a search for it) and then copy the *_manila files from your /windows folder on your device to your pc. Next start up the manila editor and point it to the folder you copied the *_manila files too. Now you can scroll through every image build into TF3D when you find th eone you want to change just export it as a jpg, png or whatever you like to work with. Change it to any color you like with you favorite editor (i think even paint brush will work for this task). Finally just go back to manila editor and press the replace button on the image you want to replace (the people frame in your case). You can now create a zip file of the image you replaced. Create the zip file and extract it and copy it back to the /windows folder on your device (overwriting the old one) Restart Tf3d and you will see your change
If anyone knows of a better tutotial for manila editor out there please respond

Lua editing and manila editing:the book of secrets

Hey people,
Many people were pm'ing me n asking me to write tutorials on how to edit manila files n write lua.
As its a very less known topic im one of the few people who knows how to write it and edit it.
I will try to explain the basics first n then the advanced stuff
WHAT WE DO
---
To be frank
manila editing is complicated.Not cause its hard but cause it need a lot of imagination
UnLike other languages that uses graphics like flash or vb or whatever lua and manila editing DOES NOT give you a visual workspace
You have to image what you write in real time and so it needs a lot of trial /error
THE BASICS
What we need
1>m9editor
the files we want to work on
1>As the basics i would like to explain how the background for all tabs mod was made
1.we have a file called 5c9aa261_manila.
for me this is the most important file that a developer needs
in manila this is a file that controls backgrounds
1>For example it runs on every tab and executes its functions on every tab
It is the shadow of tf3d
So anything that you want in the background in every tab or u want to be seen in every tab u put here
So by common sense the slider and the background are in this file
Now what we do for the bgfor all mod
STEP 1
1>Make a png file size 512 X 512
Manila cant take a image of any size.Therea re fixed sizes.i personally always use the size 512 X 512
So now we have a image named lets say sample.png
STEP 2
copy the file 5c9aa261_manila from the windoes folder and open it in m9editor
doubl click it
NOw the hard part
the structure of a manila file was something that took me loads of thinking to figure out
a basic structure
Group (named whatever)
--FIle in group(top most layer)--this is what is seen right on top
--File in group(second layer)--this is what is seen underneath the upper file
and so on a and so forth
LUA
lua files are action script that are recognised by the tf3d
usually lua files are either of two types
1>binaries(damn its just a name nothing more)
using the search button you can search for "binary"
click on it and you will see code in it underneath
2>files that we ad..they always end in .lua ..so using search search for ".lua" and you will find it
Lua is scanned through by tf3d when u start it the first time
lua is usually at the top of the file
so for example lets write a little lua
Code:
money=function()
rotastrainsdonations=whatpeopledonated
if rotastrainsdonations>200$ then
title.String="rotastrainsrich"
else
title.String="need smore donations"
end
end
slider.onPress:money
this is seen by tf3d
whenever you will press the slider this function will be called
and it will display what the function does!!
So when u move around in the file you will see groups and files in them..
if you understand this much its enough to make whatever the hell u want
ok now getting back to what we want to do
Step 3
Searching for the existing background
images are always .qtc files
So search for ".qtc"
you will come to a file called "backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc"
now that we found it we need to place the file we want on top of it..so thats its seen in right on top and in every tab
so how to make a file that we want?heres secret no1
1>copy any qtc file thats existing by right clicking its entry ..for example the file now is "backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc"
right click copy
now right click on the entry again
click paste below
so now we have two entries of the same name
Group
--backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc
--backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc
change the top entries name
---change this name to whatever you want--for example firstbg
so now we have two entries
--firstbg.qtc
--backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc
now click ok
move your mouse over the entry
a small popup will appear
with a name like gftfgrh455_manila
thats the name of your file
Write it down somewhere
Click save
owerwrite
Step 4
now we need a qtc file to put ur image in
just take any _manila file from the windeos foler which is a image file
For example the file that i have used in my panoramic background mod
i will attach that here
paste it in the same place as the 5c9aa261_manila file
open it in m9editor
right click it
save as png
open the png file
paste your image in
save
open m9editor
right click the qtc file
load from png
rename the file to what we got earlier "gftfgrh455_manila"
done
Now paste both these files in ur widows folder
and walla
bgforall tabs in a second
This is a basic thing to do
Next step will be to integrate images with lua..
!!
Cheers
Rotastrain

Thank you very much for that dude!
It will be interesting to see if i can do some things with that... =)

Thanks for this basic guide Rotas, I read it and it's interesting!
I know how to code, I haven't used LUA yet, but I'll learn that.
Before I can do this though, I feel like I need a better understanding of the directory structure in manila files.
Do I understand correctly that a manila file (mode9) is basically a library of LUA functions?
Can you tell us some more about the directory structure and how you find certain things? For instance, what if I'd want to change something in the "All Programs" menu of the start button programs menu - where would I need to look, and how do I look for it?

Ok
First about the manila file structure
the file structure is like this
-------LUA files come here at the top of the file..----
Its usually under -scene
this controls everything that is underneath it
Now after thats over
we add all the graphics
so the lua on top controls all the graphics below..thats the main part.
the lua is executed like this
1>---first file
2>---second file
3>---third file
to find something i first copy all the files from ur windows folder to ur pc..open it in m9editor..the names come on the side..
then use imagination
thats y its hard..caus its too unstructured..
now the 'all programs' is not a page.
it is generated by lua that we cant decompile..
so dnt think changing it is possible..but if we can decompile n read thru the shjitn find a few variables tweaking them in a sepearte lua file is possible

CHT 2.0 - Lockscreen - removing text "Unlock"

HD2, CHT 2.0.
I use CHT Lockscreen, HD Mini style.
On the left I have my personalized information (which can be edited in CHT Editor), on the right I see "Unlock" text and symbol like this ">>" (vertical).
How to remove this "Unlock" text and this two >> sings, on the unlock bar?
By editing file?
Be grateful for your answers.

You must edit image - it's in 50F29E37_manila file..

Adow, I've just figured it out... But how to do it?
It is not a png file....

I wasn't interested in chaning it but now I am xD
I've found these .png files, I guess you just rename them and place it in /Windows
found here..

I'll make my own..

Search for m9editor. Using this it is possible to convert manila QTC file to PNG. Then you can edit PNG picture in your favourite editor. In the last step convert PNG back to QTC (again with m9editor) and this save file to \windows folder.
