You still need the use of a manila editor.
And he asked if there was a cab for it without using a manila editor
Nope, Manila Editor is the only way. Unless you use someone else background: in this case you could have a simplc cab
excuse me I don't understand.."Unless you use someone else background" what does it mean? ...if I set the same background of the home page it works?

It means that you don't have to use Manila Editor only if i give you the background i have done for me (so you don't use editor because I have used editor ). See your pm

guys you just have to copy two files to windows directory and you need .cab ??

[THEMES] For New Manila (Landscape) METAL V2

EDIT 17/7/09
I would like toy inform you, that these themes was made for the first manila topaz versions. I am not sure if they work with the last versions and I haven't device to test.
LASER THEME [NEW]
You can find the CAB of the theme at the attached files
Follow my instructions to make your backgrounds
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3436086#post3436086
TESALAT METAL V2 THEME
I will start with Metal Theme V2
This theme it made only for ROMS with new Manila V3.
You can install it with the cab "Tesalat_Metal V2_Theme".
Very easy to come back at your original Background. Just go settings/System/Remove Programs and remove my CAB, needs a soft reset after.
The clock at the screenshots it is a digital transparent version and you will find at the CAB "Digital_Transparent_CLOCK"
There is an other digital clock transparent also but with white contour around. You will find it at the CAB "DIGITAL_CRYSTAL_CLOCK"
You can use also the classic manila clocks which you can find HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488058
Of course you can put also the very nice Max analog & flip clock For Dutty's rom (thanks Max).
Maybe I will have new tab icons tomorrow. I have a small problem with the stock icon.
Fonts are from GODZSON (Thank you very match). You will find them at the CAB "GODZSON_Hall Feica Font TF3D"
TESALAT METAL V1 THEME
The only difference between Metal V1 and Metal V2 it is that V1 in portrait background hasn't the Windows Logo.
You can find the CAB for it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3427873&postcount=24
Would this work with manila v.3 ?? I have duttys 1.9b flashed! Thanks patrida!

Of course!!!
I have also 1.9
By the way 1.9 is better than the newest versions. Very nice sound, video & YouTube. It is first time from November, I have so good sound in my HD and believe me I have flash and test all the WWM roms.
Except the very fast TF3D, 1.9 has very good benchmark.
I keep V2 one day for test and I came back directly at 1.9
Zero problems and about notifications, I didn't see something different at V2.
So I stay with 1.9 and I am very happy because I keep something from rubbish and I make my work perfectly.
The only general problem for new manila roms, it is the battery.
I will check another radio, but my opinion is: new roms they have problem with the management of energy.
I receive a new battery from Netimes 1500 MA and I am OK

Those files were posted so I can check something. He posted them at my request. Those are not the "complete theme". Those are only the files that change the wallpaper. If you want only to change the wallpaper them with total commander, on your phone, you have to paste those 4 files in the windows directory, overwriting all files. Then you have to go to settings -> today -> itens and disable the touchflo3d and then re-enable it

[REQ] Top bar icons and Transrarent program buttons for Dutty 2.1 EXTREME

Hi! Can somebody tell me where can i get Top bar icons for Manila 3 or exactly for Dutty 2.1 EXTREME ROM? Im also searching cab. for transparent program buttons.
I've tryed to install HTC Coloured Top Bar, but it runs only on Davideuck_V-2_HP ROM (my experience with manila 3). After installation on Dutty or L26_THDV8.0 my device won't start. Im very interesting in good manila look, so waiting 4 your answers.
PS: better in cab format thanks!
I am looking for the same. On the old original rom i could alter all the icons etc, However with the new manilla this seems to be a loittle more difficult at the moment?
Hoping that there are coming some apps for this

Would not recommend Pamas' transparent slider for Dutty's V2.1--crashes when you select time on the home screen. Check this thread for a compatible transparent slider for the ROM you are using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487269

I didn't test them because I just copied the files to the /windows directory.
You can always delete manually the files from the /windows directory and return to the original state.

Rhodium start menu icons help

I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme ROM. The startmenu is based on the Rhodium roms (looks like the program tab, but with nicer icons ). However, the good-looking icons are only those that came with the rom, for example WMPlayer, settings, file explorer, etc. When you add a shortcut from lets say TomTom, it looks all crap with jagged edges. It's seems the iconholder upscales the icon or something so it's no longer at it's native resolution. I would like to be able to change the icon used for a certain shortcut myself to perhaps a higher resolution alternative.
It seems the used icon is controlled bij strings in HKLM\software\HTC\Manila. The string's name is the .exe used in the shortcut. It contains a file location to \windows\MPI_xxx.qct (\windows\MPI_wmplayer.qct, \windows\MPI_camera.qct, etc.). I know this, because when I change the path in lets say the wmplayer.exe string to that of the file explorer MPI file, the icon changes in the start menu. However, when I make a new string with a stringname for tomtom (tomtom navigator.exe) and make it's value the same as the fileexplorer, nothing happens...
So... help? I don't know what to try next due to my limited knowledge on the subject. Who can help me devise a way to use custom icons in the new startmenu?
You have to use the full path, not just the file name. Also, you have to use quotes.
For example: I wanted Resco File Explorer to use HTC's explorer icon, so I created a new string with the name:
"\Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe" (quotes included)
And value:
\windows\MPI_fexplorer.qtc (no quotes here)

Yes... Thanks! Can I use it in WM 6.5? Just want to know because I dont want to do a hard reset when I fail.
I change my program icon directly in the program.exe file. this way both from startmenu and programs show the new icons. use resource hack to do it. you can also hack into the installation cab and change it there. so every time you change rom and reinstall, the new icon is there. just my way......need helpon that you can pm me

Thanks for help and advice m6silver. I appreciate all your help because Im not very good when it comes to customizing icons.
Thanks for the links gfreek... It's working great and Im also using your WM6.5 Medium size and Wm 6.5 Extra Start for Folders. Thanks to you for that nice and easy to install cabs.
Now my only problem is the icons in Manila "Program" I want to change it to High Quality Icons.

My Homescreen, etc... for you

Hello,
i just want to share my Homescreen-Appearance with all of you and give the germans out there a helpin hand.
It took/takes alot of time to find the files and cabs that made the homescreen look like the screens attached, and so its easier to find them in one single post.
Everybody who wants to have a nearly german manila can use the files attached.
Everybody else: only the files that are described to be german are german so u can use the other files without limitation
All files can be found in xda-forum or htc-developers etc...
They are free to download, therefore BIG THX to the developers.!
I haven't made the cabs/manila-files myself so i CAN'T and WON'T give support if they don't work with your HD.
The manila-language files are edited by myself.
I'm using Miri WM 6.5 WWE 21889 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 18.0 (latest Manila 1922 and working "My Location" signed rilphone 1.15.25.14, cab from Cortez.I)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542104
Radio: 1.17.25.09
So i can fully confirm they are workin with this ROM and RADIO.
If I change the language of a WWE Rom via the registry i loose at least SMS incoming sound, there is no fix!, so far (others reported u will loose much more...)
So i decided to edit only the manila language files to have most of the functions and buttons in GERMAN and set the manila to german in settings: (Settings->Locale & text->Location->Region:German(Germany)) for correct Date and Currency!
The manila files have to be copied with Total-Commander (or similar tool) to the \Windows\*.* folder and overwrite the old ones,
AFTER removing the DESCRIPTION i added to file name. Example:
2c89bd29_manila25-germanhomescreen ---> 2c89bd29_manila (its the language file for "normal" WWE en-us)
And of course u have to Softreset after installing the cabs or files!
U cannot rollback after u copied the files unless u saved the original files first or someone is making a .cab of them!!!
5fa4d4b7_manila25-wvganoflippingclock:
the clock still flips but the unnecessary flipping if u are going back to homescreen will be stopped.
The background is stock right after flashing the ROM. But i have switched off the Weather animation via registry because if u switch the animation off by using an animation wallpaper, there is no simply black Background (Miri has cooked this background from the LEO)
HKCU/Software/HTC/manila/Home.WallpaperMode
change from dword 0 to dword:1.
The weather animation in Home tab will be disabled
I hope, everybody is enjoying these changes like i do....
P.S. rest of the files second post.
