I was reading around through the forums and found that you need to use Manila to edit a file "4a087e41_manila" to change the background on the home screen and all the others. Well I did this and it has yet to change anything...
Any advice?
i was able to change the home wallpaper by going to the settings tap and going to wallpaper....go figure...lol
but I still want to change all the other tabs to have the same background as I am using on my home screen.
anyone?
there's a cab that will do that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121510&d=1223945516
well the above cab worked great, put my background on all pages, but then also set my clock to 12:59, the date to Jan 1 2008 and set my network to T-Mobile....lol (im with AT&T)
I will mess around with it and see what I can do
ok so I think i got it now.

I went there and used nisse's zip files, then I used manila editor to change the image, the trick is that the image you replace in the files that you download from nisse HAVE to be the same size, exactly 256x256.
But the only problem now is that the picture has gone over my home screen, all i have is the background there, but its only for my home tab. I may try to load a different clock and see what happens.
All i need to do now is figure out how to change what the buttons lok like in landscape mode and I will be golden
Hi,
I want to get the background of the golden theme. I searched really a lot. I manage to change background for all tabs. In settings on today I tried too, but it isn't working. I get an image on the startup, but it isn't looking like the original image... pls help. I tried to edit in manila editor to change the image, but I get an error. Everything is looking good of the golden theme, except this background is driving me nuts. nobody seems to have this problem, am I really just stupid??
here you go.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2968109&postcount=168:)
use this method,. it works every time and you don't have to have 256x256, its 512x512.
Well the cab. works greate but the slider goes to left and the clock has goten white from incolor... have you got an answer to this too?
Thanks!

Okay.. I am normally pretty good with stuff like this but after 6 hours of trying I have found this site.
I have downloaded the programmes but none seem to leave me able to change the theme on my diamond. It will change the top and bottom bar but the home screen will not change.
Can someone please email me or spell out for me on here in simple terms how too.. as I seem to be having a really blonde day...
oh also looking for some Subaru themes thanks.
and sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place.
If you want to change ONLY the home screen back ground.. then use the wallpaper option instead.
SLIDE to Settings option from the homescreen and you will see WALLPAPER as one of the options.
Tap on that.
If you want to change the entire THEME.. here is how it is done:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
Hope this helps.
About the Subaru themes... errr... I would suggest just putting up a wallpaper.
Might just take a while for someone to come up with a Subaru theme.
All the best
hi,
I found a theme it says is for my phone but unless I disable the touchflo 3D It doesnt show how its meant to.
In fact I tried for 4 hours to change my whole theme to the vodaphone red one without success... so HELP!!
Okay... I still can not make this work. when I try to run the tf3d config file all I get is the opera opening up and thats it?
Any help would be appreciated. I have took everything off and reinstalled it and it still does the same.
I went through a lot of themes and pulled the FONT files!
Have fun!!
Special thanks to NisseDILLIGAF and this post for showing me the files.
Hope you don't mind I made a cab for the black and white to be able to uninstall easier
I haven't tested them yet, so let me know if there is a problem.
any way to get blue cabbed up as well?
Post #2 UPDATED
thank you!
does this work for all the tabs?
Hello,
I've try the cab files.
I put the file in the internal storage, i execute the cab, i insall in the device.
I do a soft reset, and there is nothing to change.
I've try with the 3 cab files.
Can you help me ?
thank you
Has anyone preview pictures?
I need a cab file only for the home tab, because there I change the wallpaper, so I need to change the font color.
-> the 77faa36d_manila only changes alarm font in Home tab and font Settings Tab. What is with "Calendar, Call History ..." in Home Tab?
For me, when i execute the cab ,it isn't change home tab for the text "calls","calendar", this text is white again so that i execute black cab file.
But for example when i go to message tab, the text messages are black.
i want that the text on home tab change also.
The cab changes the text in all the other screens except the Home screen. For some reason, on the contacts screen, all the text disappeared when I was using the blueish font cab. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled Manila once again. My phone doesn't like most of these cabs because my Manila always gets messed up and I end up spending the next 20mins or so uninstalling/reinstalling to get my flip clock back.
I wish there was a cab that was more (for lack of a better term) 'hotswappable' so I could change things on the fly... without uninstalling/reinstalling. You know, just go into the specific program, select what font color I want to use, hit apply (or something) and viola! I'm done and back to other things.
strongly that it is possible to have a cab file that allow to change color text Home screen because i can't to put the wallpaper that i want.
I wait with impatience.
In installed the black font cab and everything worked except for the calender tab. And for some reason my weather tab just said text at the top and didnt show any weather. So i uninstalled the cab and weather was back and the font stayed black. So my only question is how to i default my font color back when i decide to change my background to a dark color and want the white and grey default?
I have the white font cab for a back up incase but if anyone knows that would be awesome.
I got the same problem with the cabs. I installed the white cab and the weather was gone. I removed it and it was back. Also, when installed my icons under the contact person picture (such as the home, send sms, office, short cuts are gone) Thanks.
The font on some tabs is changed but TF3D keep crashing, tabs aren't loading and the soft keys are getting stuck after going on tabs.
Thanks anyway but its just not working for me
Thanks, Chris

Guys, did you succeed with changing home screen font? I need all the text (or at least the appointment details) to turn white. Is that possible?

HTC TOPAZ (Touch Diamond 2)
NhatHoa ROM 6.5.3.11.3 NLD 28-01-2010
Manila 2.5 1922.2911
Radio 3.45.25.21
I tried it on the stock 6.1 sprint tf3d and it didnt change the home screen but changed all the other screens to black. I just want the home screen changed black because we have a photo on there and you cant see the white text. all the other screens I want to stay white...
Hi i was wondering if anyone can help as this problem has been really annoying me now. I am using a touch diamond v1 with the latest dutty rom, it has been working fine for ages but ive never been able to set a background wallpaper.
Whenever i set a wallpaper it will never display, if i want to see the wallpaper i will need to disabled the touchflo on the today screen. Even then the background is high in contrast and seems to be clouded in the background. The image i have tried locating it both on internal and phone storage with no effect.
how do i go about fixing this?
In the main menu of manila, you can slide from: Home, Contacts, messages,mail, weather,internet, camera,music,and settings. in this page (in settings) you will find "wallpaper". change the manila wallpaper there. (say not when it asks) . not from windows.
It will work.
i dont seem to have the manila menu?
Do you really have a diamond?
every diamond comes with it.
Manila = touchflo
Hello! I have a quick question for anyone who is willing to help me out here..
I have already searched and found a topic on changing the default background for the sony ericsson panel 1, which states you have to replace the 10v and 10h files in the programfiles\panels\SonyEricssonPanel\images with other jpeg images.
Here's the thing: I tried and it did not work. I have backed-up my originals, took them out of that folder, and replaced them with my own jpeg files, same resolution as the originals, tried selecting another theme, tried changing panels, and tried to soft rest, and somehow, the panel still comes up with that same default background.. :-(
Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, very much appreciated!!
I'm just a newbie, but changing the background photo on panel 1 I just opened explorer, opened up my photos folder (it works on both internal and external memory, tested right now), marked the picture, chose "set as background", set opacity and voila I have horses running!
(white horses and white letters in the menus, so I changed to another theme from "settings - today" that gave black letters)
(my menus are Norwegian, so I'm guessing what they would be in English)
thanks for the reply,
I already tried that and it didn't work. The only place I see somewhat of the picture I chose was when I press the start menu. It's like a background for the start menu only and the panel background stays the same.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
google for pocketpc theme
get the tsk themes you like
put the tsk files on your ppc
cloose the theme in settings->today
using
"use this picture as the background" is not enough
colours for text and bars are defined in the themes
Ahh, thanks for the help but unfortunately no one understoon my question!!
I wanted to actually modify one of the existing panels. Panel 1 is not the normal today screen, it is the one that displays the clock and calendar and the quick function buttons.
I wanted to find out how to get that default color-laser looking background out and replace it with my own so that way i can still have the quick function icons on the bottom, but I already figured it out.
It seems you have to tap the weather information to get to the screen where you can change your background color, and that lets go of the cached background image after you've replaced the 10v and 10h files.
After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.
You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here
This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.
I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.
I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.
This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.
The homepage from top to bottom features :
a hideable interactive taskbar.
to activate/hide press on the battery icon.
you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.
two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.
next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.
the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable
you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config
notifications for new texts missed calls and emails
current weather condition icon complete with temp and location
app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage
The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.
The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.
The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.
CHANGELOG :
03 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Please download and enjoy.
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.
Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.
The majority of settings don't really need any explanation
the clock size is either normal or large
If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default
do not change sms param as this is required by ther program
only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected
Screen 10 Weather
Here you can specify the location
units in centigrade or fahrenheit
autoupdate if required should be ticked
if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed
Screen 11 Background / Text
The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.
There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.
The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting
0 for dark or
255 for light
The font colour should then be set to the opposite.
under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.

Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.
Anyway, i love Lacuna
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?
And thankyou for your kind comments
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me So stripes aren't problems for me anymore . (I finally see the top bar transparent )
But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings . Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)
I know I am annoying
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.
I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite
Hello,
Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?
Thanks.
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
nice theme
love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.
Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?
Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?
If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.
Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...
and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.
looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon
