"New" Manila landscape backgrounds (Dutty Xtreme etc)

I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for!
Has anyone managed to crack how to get backgrounds to look OK on the new Manila when in landscape mode? the closest i've seen so far is the blue max theme, but I don't want a blue theme or an analog clock!
Does anyone know how to get landscape backgrounds/wallpaper working properly?
failing that, does anyone know which .manila files I would need to edit?

hi,
i hope maxycy will give us instructions how to manage it by ourselves!!!
i hope mun_rus will find out a good solution in order to have our own background in all tabs too.
ciao

Well, I did manage to do that somehow..
Basically, you'll need a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper..
Doing so, you'll have wallapapers that support landscape mode, but not all would work!
Have a look at mine

Nice, How did you do that

here you have the new manila background took form the new manila 3.0

can u put some screen shot
can u put some screen shot for this cab

I tried installling it over Dutty V2 with Max blue theme, and my manilla got FUBAR. It got stuck and tabs disappeared.
Guess this only replaces original v3 manilla?
edit: just took a look at the .cab. Are you sure it installs everything? Looking at the setup xml, it doesn't do anything with the "BACKGR~1.000" file..?

Right, I think people are mis-understanding here!
I am after (and this thread is about) changing the background picture ON MANILA V3 (as in Dutty Xtreme and other ROMs) Manili V3 supports landscape mode, but currently the background picture doesn't stretch or re-orientate itself to accomodate landscape images. Instead it appears to centre the image around the middle of the portrait screen, and remain locked in that position in landscape mode.
This thread is NOT about making Manila V2 (as in Stock HD) LOOK like Manili V3
Blessed HD, I've tried doing it that way, but unfortunately, given the images I use for my backgrounds, the resulting images are significantly worse quality than normal Otherwise, this method does work and does result in a full-screen-width image in landscape.

By using a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper!
As for the clock & buttom bar;
Clock: I used Max's Analog Clock for Dutty's ROM
Buttom Bars: 12aon Iphone Renaissance Icons / Text theme Icons
Transparant Buttom bar + transparant slider

Exactly !
& that's why I'm using this method until someone figures it out
Another solution here is to use pattern wallpapers, not the ones with a spacific picture in the middle.. & try to maintain its graphic quality within the 800X480 pixels..
There should be a trick to it.. but I don't know how........

Yeah, I'm curious to find out whether there's a specific Manila file for portrait and landscape or whether it's just the one file scaled/stretched for both...
If there's sparate files, then that could be used to good avantage!
Don't have the time to filter through each and every .manila file to find them though!

The way I got to understand it, is that there is 2 files for landscape and 2 for portrait.
Check my post here as well, might clear things up.

[THEME] Bloody Red

This is my first theme, so don't expect too much . It replaces the portrait (ONLY portrait) wallpaper, the icons (could not find the manila file for the stock icon, so if you decide to use my theme, please disable this tab), the slider and the clock. The theme is for the new manila with the new start menu, which means there is no icon for the programs tab (yet).
Thanks to maxycy for his theme maker, which saved me a lot of time locating the necessary manila files .
Uninstalling works fine and don't mind the warning when installing the cab file - guess I screwed up making it for specific version of WM.

thanks man.
it's beautiful.

If there is interest I can make a landscape wallpaper and icon for the programs tab. Also if anyone knows which file is for the stocks tab, I can make that too. And of course the color can be changed too, so I am opened to suggestions for that.

good job man

[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.

- AnX1 Actionscreen v1.2
- AnX1 Ethahetso Taskbar v2.2

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).

Seek and you shall find. In Rotastrain's thread about panosidetoside, users have posted over 50 wallpapers, all panoramic. =]

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).

[Request] Can Someone Enlarge These Blackberry Icons?

I found some nice BBerry Icons but they show up too small on the G1 normally and when I attempt to enlarge, I run into pixel issues.
Can anyone enlarge these icons to look normal on G1?

Blackberry extracted graphics
Nice graphics! I didn't know you could extract stuff from the Blackberry OS... interesting
Are you trying to make a theme out of this? Or changing an icon? It probably doesn't look right because of the image format... I'm not sure.
Maybe you should send this to a theme developer. The only problem is that some of these Blackberry images are too big for Android (like the signal strength, the menu icons, etc).
If I enlarge these images, they will look blurred. It would be great to get the original graphics in vector format so I can scale them perfectly.
It seems like the Blackberry UI graphics were made for readability and looks, especially since the BBs are getting popular.
It would be cool to see a perfectly crafted theme that changes every UI element of Android, but still looks elegant and balanced all around, like the Android 1.5 UI.

This is a pretty good set of images. I'll see what I can do.
P.S. Whoa! How did 2 of your G1s get bricked? Was it Haykuro's Dangerous SPL?

Sweet icons dude....someone shud totally make a blackberry theme

Yeah, the SPL got me (because of my own error though). I'm actually on my 5th, the last one wouldn't let me flash a 1.5 or higher ROM. Lol.
But when I replaced the icons, they were extremely small compared to the android icons. I used the icons from the old deep black theme from RC33 I believe and wanted to make all my icons BBerry ones.
It would be great to have a BBerry theme though, I was just gonna use a Custom Hero theme with BBerry Icons (actually looks pretty hot).
Thanks for the interest though, hopefully someone can make something happen with these.

someone should make a theme with these icons!

I will turn this into a theme for openhome these are great icons and sorry to hear about the bricked G1's

Sounds great. I will be waiting for those. When you make the open home theme, can you upload it here so we can pull the resized icons?
And for the G1's, T-Mobile customer service is great (and my Frat brother works for them) so it's all good. Lol.

what's the size of these icons? did they come from plazmic?

Which ones are you trying to enlarge? From the looks of it, you need to be
making them smaller

Most of these are 80x80? this should be no prob and yes I will upload for all of XDA to enjoy You wan't 48x48 right?

I usually use 64x64 but the default is 48x48.
And if you actually try to use the icons, they show up smaller than the standard sized icons... I know the pics say the icons are larger, maybe they get shrunk too far with resizing.

I have been building custom BB themes for a long time, and have more icons in all sizes than you can possibly imagine if you are interested. I also have a good deal of experience re-sizing them- chris aka riffman [email protected]

I'm looking for weather clock to me touch pro 2

I've just created a rom with your 2.1 bg for all in

great panoramic bg rota....made very easy.....yet its a bit slow...is it that maybe made the old school way, i.e converting the jpg into 3 parts and so on...was more fruitful in terms of fluidity ??

if the weather background is on then its slow..else its faster..sometime i fell easier the beter u no..three parts n all that is too difficult

Of course the easier the better....my question was just to know if applying the old method would let us gain in terms of performance of the panormaic sliding....cuz if it does I'd choose functionality over easiness anytime....else i'd be owning an iphone !!
Anyway thanks for always keeping us updated with versions of ur mods that work on newer manila's.....if it gets more speedy gd.....if it doesn't then it's still gd

Im currently using the high res bgforall background variant and it great because i can have my own background and the weather animation!!!!
Without loss of smoothness or speed
But in landscape i only see a third of the picture which i can live with but is kind of annoying.
i was wondering if you could make it so you have a different background for landscape "backgroundL" if not its still great

Any special reqs for the kind, file size limit, of therotastrain.jpg panoramic background i will now have to create.
