Question on Theme (.tsk) and TouchFlo 3D - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Dear All,
Since the TouchFlo 3D eats up a lot of resources and makes my diamond hangs so I have turned it off from Today,
and I have created a VGA theme by using ThemeGenCE and use it in diamond.
Here comes the questions,
First: When I apply the VGA theme the wall paper only show a part of the full image, just like QVGA device using VGA theme...... Are there anything needed to set in registry in order to display a VGA theme?
Second: I disable the TouchFlo 3D in today, is this the way to turn if off? or it will still run in the background?
Hope someone can help me~~
Thx in advance~~~!!

I also disable the TF3D from today by I tested with TF3D configuration tools to turn off all the TF3D taps and found that my ram after reboots is higher. FYI.....

You have to set DPI to 192 if you want a VGA Today screen.
See help file which comes with ThemeGenCE and the tutorial here :

How to change the touch flo 3D theme?

As a title... I can't find any possibility to change my default them for the touch 3D. Anyone can help me?
Thanks
Me too
I like to change the color of the touchflo theme to black (from o2 xda blue). How to do that? Any ideas?
Tx.
I second that.
All the files are in die "Windows"-folder.
i can tell how to change back ground... go to settings from touch flo then wallpaper.. select any pic.
I found the ugly blue background branded by O2 in the WINDOWS directory (at least I think it is that one): \WINDOWS\stBackImage.png
However TotalCommander states that it is in the ROM and I can't seem to modify it in any way. This is where some more WM6 experienced people would be needed to tell me how to modify these files?
Thanks,
Alex
Edit:
Does anyone have the original background at hand?
An alternative approach I tried: I looked for the filename in the registry, but can't seem to find it.
This is exactly what I was afraid of, as soon as I saw that awful Magenta T Mobile version of the diamond
Well the blue-ish O2 theme is something i COULD live with - it's not THAT ugly - but then again: I wish I wouldn't have to
you can create a file with the same name and extension on you're desktop
eddit it with any paint progam and save it,
Now you can try to copie it and overwrite it on you're device...
it works for me, if not for you, you have to wait until some has unlocked the rom files
greets LuXa
nope, activesync tells me that the drive is either read-only or the file is write-protected...
I would also LOVE to know how to change ALL the backgrounds in touch flo 3D.

I managed to overwrite this file - without success... it doesn't seem to be the right file...
I can't find any other file that looks like the touchflo 3d background - unfortunately...
has anyone found other files that could be the right ones?
for all germans who want the touchFLO 3d in black:
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=131693
it works perfectly on my diamond
why not simply reflash with another rom? as far as I know all cooked roms contain the standard (black) version of TF3D...
because this is not what I want...
although black is prettier than blue the o2 theme looks better (icons, no green borders etc)
I just want to change the background image of tf3d on all pages...
There are already a number of threads with this request.
See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401324
There was another thread where l3v5y was discussing which files were the graphics in TouchFLO 3D, but I can't find it now.
Also, ideally, some one would make a customizer that was extensible enough to change theme designs for a wider range of applications. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392184
try this one
(if you are not "en-us", you should edit the file 590ad244_manila without forgetting to change the lang id)

what is this? or what does it do? does it completely replace tf3d or just the background?
btw: is there an overview over all *_manila files?

Exactly just the first background, that makes it pretty useless.
I can't imagine why HTC were that braindead they didn't include such a feature.

Is it possible that when you start the program that it starts in landscape full screen?
Here you go
You might need to rename the file to work

Is it possible that it have the same type text as the others.
And Is it possible that when you start the program that it starts in landscape full screen?

Dude there is no way I can get "Vergrendeling" into the same size place as "Lock" and keep the font the same size. 13 does not go into 4 its simple maths
As for Landscape switch I don't think this is possible, maybe contact the developer of PSShutXP

Fuze Theme with TF3D in Landscape

The new Verizon version of the TouchPro includes a theme that has a working TF3D interface in landscape mode. Archy over in the Diamond theme forums posted a copy of the theme that will run on Diamonds and TouchPros.
Here's his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2914105&postcount=1321
This has mostly been mentioned in the Diamond forum but I just installed this theme on my Fuze and it works great. (And faster than most other themes I've tried...)
i just want the landscape tf not the entire theme. I hope some one can get just the landscape tf soon.

Yeah, I tried pulling out the files to make just the landscape work but I didn't have any luck so I just installed the whole theme. I really like it so far...
is the landscape actually useful?
and do you install just like a normal theme

It's useful for me because I have my keyboard open a lot so it's nice to have more options when it's in that mode.
And, yes, it's just like any other theme. I installed it using Diamond TF3D Config, restored the default theme and then installed it again all without any problems.
Landscape only files
folks,
a little farther in the thread...he points out what files are needed for the landscape only piece...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2923578&postcount=1347. you should be able to create a theme with just these files to load through diamond config...or of course use total commander. hope this helps.

A little farther still he says that just copying those files won't work. The files in that list are just the graphics files that are needed for landscape mode, not any of the Mode9 files which control the functionality.
its a step in the right direction.. but toooo much grey.
give me time and v7 of my flip clock theme will in clude landscape tf3d

Have you gone to Settings\Today and got TouchFLo ticked?
Also is it not a smartphone the s730? Non touch screen device?
Thanks for answer, no no touch screen based device! Me mate has it running on the S740 though allmost same device.
Because, s730 have:
2.4-inch transmissive LCD with white backlight LED
320 X 240 dots resolution with 65K colors
and s740 have:
2.4 inch TFT-LCD with backlight LEDs and QVGA resolution
Thats make the skin doesnt work eith your s730,.
Hope this help,.
S740 has the same display as the S740 - QVGA 240X320

I imagine you posted wrong as comparatizing the same phone lol but i'll answer to what i think your trying to say?
It's not the same 65K does not equal QVGA, the size may be the same but thats it, it's like comparatizing a Dash 320x240 to a Tilt 240x320, so in landscape the Tilt is 320x240, yet the Dash is VGA & the Tilt is QVGA.

[Q] All different types of Skins

Excuse me XDA members for my question.
I saw a lot of app to customize WinMo (taken from HTC and other...)
What are the following things???
---Touch Flo 2D
---Touch Flo 3D
---Touch Flo HD
---Touch Flo HD v.2
---Xperia x1 panels
---Manila 2D
---Manila 3D
---Cookie's Home Tab
Which is the best? Where can I download the latest version?
My phone has WVGA Resolution, but the screen is landscape...
---I know Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop.
Which are your favourite themes for this programs? (especially for WVGA).
---I know SPB Mobile Shell and a lot others.
Which are your favourite themes for this programs? (especially for WVGA).
Co0kie Home Tab is a modifciation of manila3d, and it makes the home screen very customizable with the ability to have many widgets, swype screen left and right, up and down, and easy modify graphics elements in the screen. But I am not sure if manila3D can be installable in your device. You can get the EXT packages from this kitchen and try. Once you have manila3d (also called HTC Sense) you can try to install Co0kie Home Tab from here. But again, I do not know if this will work in your device.
Thanks poyensa,
I wait for others comment from other XDA members...
Samsung also has TouchWiz on the Omnia series of Windows Mobile phones.
Thanks kjliev
I think TouchWiz is the customization included in Omnia 2...
But the others?...
I want the skin in this image!
What is it? Can I download it? (also in landscape)
It also change dialer and other things?
what you want exactly? is this image from your device and you want to modify it? then you need to provide the manila version you have installed; or you want to import the skin to your device?

There is an Android skin for WM. To install, it needs Cookie's Home Tab.

I think that slider icons belongs to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726996. That slider works in HTC Sense (manila 2.5) You can dump the files with any cab manager tool (see here)
To convert the manila files to png format (and viceversa) you may need CFC GUI or TF3D manila mode9 editor
If you want to apply that cab directly to your device you need to have manila 2.5 installed in your device. I remember some links to a manila 2.5 cab made by jmart518, but the best way should be cooking it in your rom. Some ext package should still be available in XDA. I know manila 2.5 had been ported to some non HTC devices (omnia2). If not possible you can try with manila 2.1.

Thanks Poyensa, I was looking for this.
But I think this time you wronged : there is no need to modify Manila, just install the right version.
I read about a software to configure Manila (it seems to me that without it Manila don't start at all).

Yes but look here & here. Manila2D was done for qvga devices, so all inslatallation on wvga devices strat from qvga then apply some fix for realignment. Specially this thread is for manila2D on X1 which was wvga (800x480). In fact you should look into x1 forum as there was a huge development there and they even had working last verisons of manila3D (HTC Sense)
