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.

brilliant that's exactly what I was after thankyou! shall have a play with them this evening when I get home from work.
I installed a german rom from http://www.htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=230&t=4221 here.
Well, it works fine, but how to:
1. Know, what manila version it is?
2. Change the style of the clock?
3. have a wallpaper for all tabs? (when using the internal "change background" option, i only get the home-screen changed, all other tabs keep black.)
did you get an answer?
No, i looked around myself and found this one:
i used the cab from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5058914&postcount=114 here and think, its version 2.1 19201317.
Landscape pictures are not 100% but at least for all tabs.
I have installed EnergyROM_21885_RHODIUM_17.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5 in my TP2 yesterday... Also i installed Rotastrain cab for landscape.. But in landscape the wallpaper is not full screened.. The rotastrain cab changed the manila homescreen tabs background.. can i change the back ground back to the normal? I need suggestions please..

We are seing some Landscape capable Roms. So I believe the following is a GREAT add-on to those Roms.
Landscape B4All Tabs + more 4 Manila 2.5.1922
This cab contains the following:
1.- B4All Tabs
2.- Select any Animation with any Wallpaper
3.- Day of the week as in "Mon, Tue, etc.."on Calendar Icon
4.- Red color Sundays, Blue color Saturdays on Calendar
5.- Last but not least select a different Portrait and Landscape Wallpaper, if no Landscape Wallpaper is selected the Portrait Wallpaper will show in Landscape
Great job made by SUPERBOY007
The cab to enable Landscape, just add the necessary reg. to enable Landscape in Manila.
this is amazing! thank you for putting this up
Thank you this was just what I was looking for.
PERFECT!! Only one that actually puts the background on landscape properly. Thanks much

What theme are u using? everything looks great!
Hi.
When I install the CAB, the first favorite contact image disappears and can not be added again. Someone has the same problem?
Thanks.
Ok, so noticed a minor bug (took t2 days to notice), but once installed, the bottom tab bar where the icons are located stops being semi-transparent. I checked by uninstalling to verify it was the case and then did some searching and came upon this post by cookiemonster http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4181177&postcount=47. Verified the post by going to actual reg key he references and it was blank (meaning of course that the tab bar will be solid), as mentioned. Is there a way you can fix the bg4all to bypass or set the value? As well, I end up with a small thin black bar between the tab bar and bottom taskbar. Thanks in advance.
please make for manila 2.5.1921..tnkss
my missing key...THANKS SO MUCH !!! works perfect with AF_Rhodium ROM 21885
Please make a version for Manila 2.5.2011 and 2012 cause this is one of the best bg4all mods on xda for the touch pro 2.

Great work...i hope you guys help me
Hi, people.
This is a variation on the now classic "background on all tabs" mod for Manila. It was made for the new Manila 2.5.2011/2.5.2012 and does the following:
1. Displays the selected wallpaper on all the tabs of the Manila interface.
2. It stretches the wallpaper so it's rendered the same way as the WM 6.5 is - so you can use the same wallpaper on both Manila and WM and it will look the same. The only difference is that if the wallpaper is smaller than the screen area it occupies it is not tiled, as the WM is.
3. It sets the opacity of the wallpaper to 65 (65%) so it looks similar to the WM wallpaper as displayed on the start menu.
It still suffers from the low quality wallpaper thing in Manila (as the texture size limitation to 512x512 in the OpenGL on Touch HD makes Manila downsample the wallpaper to 512x512 and then use it as a texture on a bigger rectangle - there are several techniques to have the wallpaper displayed in full quality, but that's beyond the scope of this mod).
I'm usually using it with 800x800 wallpapers, so it's consistent with WM even in landscape.
Let me know if it works for you, guys. Thanks!
Notes:
I am attaching the raw files so that others can integrate this into their stuff, if they want to ..
Update:
Version 0.2:
The wallpaper stretching was not 100% correct when getting into/going out from landscape mode.
Version 0.3:
Small fixes + a version with 100% wallpaper opacity.
Manila 2.5.2012 - Bk4All.cab:
Tested on 2.5.2012 with Co0kieMonster's famous mod, it should play along well with a variety of Manilas and Manila mods, as it only changes the background image loading code, no mode9 file modifications anymore - thanks Co0kieMonster for the hint.
Thanks! Have been waiting for this one
Works like a charm on Energy Leo ROM 23529.
Great Job. This works well
Thanks for this share. Much appreciated.

Hi, guys.
A new version compatible with Co0kieMonster's mod (and, probably, most of the other Manila mods) has been uploaded.
Enjoy!

Yes. All you have to do is select the same image as 'Home tab wallpaper' and 'Lock screen wallpaper' and you'll end up with identical wallpapers on Manila and Windows Mobile, in both portrait and landscape - to avoid tiling anf possibly other issues, use an image of at least 800x800 pixels.
