I am using WM 6.5. Install a .tsk theme is no problem, just copy it to the Windows folder. But when I try to install a theme which comes as a .cab file, I can install it, but it does not appear in the selection list later.
Anything I missed out ?
Thanks, Wolfgang
The tsk is only one part of the theme. It has the wallpapers and registry settings. The cab is needed to install the tsk along with the png images that the theme uses and to which the registry settings point to. If the theme is failing to install correctly from the cab then you have a problem.
Try uninstalling the theme and manually deleting the associated tsk from the windows directory. If the theme fails to uninstall properly and refuses to reinstall then a hard reset is the only option at that stage.

No matter what theme I try to use, it's not recognized in WM6 when I tried to import it (no valid file found), or try to click on the file, it just takes me to the today settings with the list of themes, but the new one isn't there.
Anyone have any idea how to force WM6 to start recognizing themes?
you have to copy the .tsk file into the windows folder on your device. this information is ALL over the themes thread so do a search using google.....
I used search and the words ( install theme ) and the 4rd one down, maybe 5th now. You may have had this problem solved earlier if you had used it.

I just found that - does anyone know anything about files with an extension ".theme" for WDA? Thanks for the input!
ok i have the manilla editor, and i know how to use it but, i dont understand how to edit the images and get them back to the format they need to be. i was told to export the icons from my phone for backup.which i dont know how to do..so i decided to skip it and try on a ready-made set. I opened in manilla editor then export to PNG and edit in Photoshop but now how do i get them back in the manilla editor? and i need to know how to backup my originals?..i have a sprint htc touch pro rom ver. 1.03 which i think is irrelevant but whatever..Thanks for the help in advance!

first if your manila is cooked in your original files will be there on the device if you delete the modified file, but if you want copy all files in windows with manila ext. to a folder on pc to back up. Next, just go to the original file you modded using manila editor and choose to replace it, choose directory your modded image is in and replace. beware though some images in sprint and att tf3d are a little tricky.
do you knwo which manila file is the the email background?

on your computer, goto control panel, folder options, from there unselect "hide operating system files" or "hide protected files" and you will be able to see the windows folder on your phone

I have found through trial and error that it seems to work if you select one of the Phones which only supports portrait mode. On the ones which can rotate, although it lets you upload the image and set up correctly, it crashes when processing. That can be overcome by using the portrait only and then editing the .tsk when downloaded and saved - simply delete the exisiting image file and replace with the correct pair of .jpgs for Portrait and Lansdcape [ stwater_480_800.jpg and stwater_800_480.jpg].
Editing the .tsk is done by making a copy - rename the extension to .cab and then use WinCE CAB Manager to edit. Once done, save and rename back to .tsk
I´ve read about the option, to change the font of TF3D. There was a zip-file with 4 fontfiles inside, all of them i have copied to the windows folder instead of \windows\fonts, because on my device there isn´t such a folder. After doing a softreset my TF3D has changed its font. But when i try to delete this files, it doesn´t work. Not by the file-explorer on the device and not by the explorer of the pc when connected using ActiveSync.
Is there a way to delete this fontfiles, so that the TF3D changes its font to the old one ?
Another question : How can i change the fontsize of TF3D-Font ? The calender on the home screen is a little bit too small.
Thanks.
Disable TF3D then reset and try to delete the file.
No, it doesn´t work. The files cannot be deleted.
Maybe i should let them on the device, by the next hard reset they will be deleted anyway
