Hi all,
I just want to share something that I have created to replace the current StartMenu Selection pic since I find the default one (white glow) not much 'eye-candy' value to it. This one matches the bar in Titanium.
Simply just copy the png file over to \windows folder (Need Resco or Total fie commander to do this). May need to soft reset to apply the changes.
Just a little something for the community...hope you guys like it.
Note: I'm not sure this would work well if you are using more than 3 column icons. use at your own risk.
This is way better than the original, Thanks!
cool, can someone make a cab?
thanks ...nice and simple !

Hi all,
I have had a couple of questions on how to change the globe on the internet tab from the globe to a pic of your choosing.
I have attached the files you need. All you need to do is Create 2 png pictures that are 512x256 and name them the same as in the files.
Once you have done this copy them onto your device,turn off touchflo and drop them along with the mainla file into your windows directory using total commander (or similar) and restart touchflo and hey presto your very own internet icon.
Have fun
works great!!
I made a nice Opera logo, maybe someone likes to use it.
Can't find a good screen capture program, just try it.
You have to copy all three files to the windows directory using total commander or other.
EDIT: found screen capture program, so now included
very nice
Hope to see a few more of these on here. People have been looking but no one has replied.

Hi... I like your internet glob. Can you make it into a cab file? I am very bad at this so far so would be great.
Thanks in advance
Hi , sorry to trouble you but could you or anyone please upload the stock 'Internet tab Globe' icon for me ? My operator decided to use its own logo for the Launch Browser icon and it looks quite terrible
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately this does not work on my German O2 stock rom.
They probably use another manila file for selecting the image on the internet tab.
I have to investigate further...
Here try this Cab File.
I finally solved it, thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2861249
I have to edit a file in \Application Data\Manila which holds the information about banner and operator links.
Thanks anyway for the information in this thread
BTW: You can add a property Text to the Banner node to display a heading under the banner icon
Many thanks to David. I've customised my Internet globe.
I 'emptied' the Youtube text as well as picture reference fields in your attached XML. So nothing shows. Hmm, now I am wondering how I can incorporate another program icon to be exact ...
remove the globe
Thanks for the tutorial, but to me the globe is useless, i would like to start at the tab with only my favorites and no globe at all; so is it possible to fully remove the globe?
I dont know. It might be possible but due to way TF3D uses the Mainla files you would have to modify it in such a way that it doesn't know there should be anything there and that it going waaay above my head.
It's not as simple as deleting the file you might actually have to change the more progamming but i'm sure someone could help

You just need to delete the "Banner" node (i.e. everything between and including "<Banner [...] />", without the quotes.).

Just played around and found I could remove youtube icon. All I did was to delete the everything within <OperatorLinks>.
Dear friend, after i have copied the 2 png pictures to the manila file, turn off and restart the TFL3D, the globe ico remain unchange. Would you give me more detail on how to fix it. By the way, there are two files named InternetPortal and InternetPortal-zh-CN, anything i need to do about that? thanks.

Would help if I could find the folder \Application Data\Manila\ , let alone the file InternetPortal-en-gb.xml. It is most vexing!
BTW
I am using Total Commander on an OrangeUK 1.14 ROM Touch HD
EDIT
====
Nevermind, I did a bit more forum searching and found the right file to edit.
It is 27c65cbd_manila in \windows\ (for me anyway)

Have you tried the Cab file I have attached as well. Let me know if this works?
Which Globe Icons are you wanting? The blue globe or My Metal Firefox
how can you add your own links like the youtube one?where does it come from!
how do u make the surounding of the picture invisble becouse if its black i have a bleu background how to make it gone.. ?? sorry bad english
ideally you need to use photoshop. This will allow you to delete the background so leaving it as it should be
Enjoy!!! I will be updating this little by little but it has a very custom feel to it so far.
*** NOTE ***
Backup your manila files first. This will overwrite them.
0.9 changes
- added a new clock
- added background (will try to get bg for all tabs worked out soon). BG is in the zip file
Installation:
1. Extract files to your pc
2. Copy files to your device into any folder (other than \Windows)
3. Go to today settings and disable Tf3D
4. On you device use a program other than file explorer (resco explorer or total commander) and copy the files to the \windows folder
5.restart TF3d
6. Enjoy
THANKS

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
10x man!! I'll try
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

No for WM6.5 start menu icons look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507299 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379 hope that helps!
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.
Hi,
I have accidently created this skin for the SPB Panel by combining a few other peoples ideas. I did use the BlueBut plus some other stuff and ended up with this.
All you have to do is:
1. Download the SPB_Panel_Chrome_Skin.zip file and extract. Change panel to any other that SPB. Copy the 14 files into /Program files/SPB Mobile Shell/
2. Download the Themes.zip file and extract. Copy the files into /Windows/
3.Change today theme to the Vista theme.
4.Change back to SPB Panel.
If I used some of your meterial...thank you. If I forgot to mention you, please remember yourself.
Cheers......
Very nice, thanks alot
cheers that looks wicked
nice just a suggestion can you make the drop-down menus the same color as the status bar so it would be uniform. Thanks
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.
