Hello and welcome to the XDA Forum. At first i think you had to read the threads there are always much info´s.
Theme, Slider and etc mostly are .cab files. Thes .cab files you put on your storage card and then tab on it. After tab on it, it will be install the theme or slider.
And after restart you device you shoule see it.
And here we have an question and answer thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=694
I think here you should find information to.
Hope this helps a little bit. Have Fun
Agree with Dic3Ptor,
Also take a look to CHT:

and CHT Editor:

very recommendated of different users, and useful.
Also very useful; a small application if you will changed your Icon style.

welcome and read the Sticky FAQ...its a good way to start!
make sure you make use of the Q&A section in the HD2 forum area and search

i Am sorry i am new to this forum and a little naive but what program are you people using to change the HTC pro cause i have the At&t fuze and i wish to change the backgroundpic the color of style bars and the buttons on the main screen that lead to favorites and other apps if someone could tell me this program that would be great
or if its not a program at least tell me the main files i need to replace
this is a very odd question.
you can change the themes ( Search "TouchFlo 3d Themes")
or
You can change the Rom (Check out the main in this forum section)
or
You can make your own roms from dumped roms.(info found here)
hope this helps, and hopeful you are ambitious, knowledgable and patient enough to start cooking it's always nice to seem more developers/chefs.
Sorry if this is a bit out of place in the ROM development forum, but I was wondering if anyone here can help me identify the name of these set of square icons, if they are part of a series. I noticed a lot of the chefs here have used these in their ROMs. The icons look great, and I'd be interested in getting more of the set. Thank you .
These icons are from recent HTC 6.5 ROM's, HTC has created new icon art for the start menu I'm not sure if the full set is posted anywhere.
I got this from Topaz leaked AT&T. There are some icons that you see in there in this. Have fun.
Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, these are what I've been looking for. I've tried looking around but couldn't find any more of these in the forum. Anyone would be so kind as to post some more sets? Preferrably in icos and dlls, but pngs are cool too. Thank you.
Hi everyone,
i´ve searched this forum and google, but i can´t find a tutorial about "how to create a Theme for manila" or else.
I´ve got an idea for theme, but i don´t know in which folder they are or to change them.
Has someone an idea?

Welllllllllllllllllll first you have to define "theme" there are alot of people with a Dinik Icon set and Dinik slider.. paired with a wallpaper of choice and call it a theme..
Then there is stuff like Buuf s theme and OrangeStreet that dig a little deeper than just a few icons and skins..
Then.. there is the THEMES... but before diving into a THEME.. know that even something like OrangeStreet (my first theme i did with ConanTroutMan) has over 1300 editted files in it.. and this was before i even knew about pngs in the windows folder or .dll mods , signing and unsigning certs, swype and t9 skins.. hell we could go on for days..
SOOOOOOOOOO
imo
Start by skinning all the manilla files you can find..
Then take alot of the ones you dont know .. and write a number on them.. 1-whatever.. and upload them to your phone.. this will help you find the stuff that wasnt obvious on the first pass..
THEN edit the pngs in the windows folder of the phone..
THEN Open PE explorer and start cracking open dlls..
which requires signing and unsigning certs.
By now you will have lost 45 pounds...AND your wife ...and you dog will have died of starvation.. But you will have a theme that is nothing more than a heavy duty skin.
So then you learn .lua and registry editting.. lua there are entire college courses on lua btw.. coding.. and xml... and use this to move and push some stuff around.. and THEN youll have a full theme.
Thanks, for the quick reply.
Well i think i have to start at the beginning:
so how can I extract the manila png files to edit them?
Use CFC_GUI and plus your phone in and turn it on.. .then click device.. import from device.. then export to pngs.. aim it at a folder.. and you will get a whole fist full of icons to edit.
The second easy to get to set you already know.. phone/windows/_.pngs
and if you cant get one to insert and replace itself, via copy and paste to replace.. then use WinCe to cab it and replace it.
Just make sure when you are done.. pile them all up in one cab so there arent a million cabs on your phone.
Read a Tutorial on CFC_GUI.. you can edit about 1200 files using just that.
Btw i cant wait to see what you come up with.. and if you need anyhelp that you dont wanna post on here (some ideas arent meant to be shared till AFTER they work) feel free to pm me.
This is where it all started for me......

Hi all,
So I'm using the theme simple glass.and I want to make a few changes to the original icon set on the home screen. Since these are shortcuts, they point to an icon image but I am having a terrible time finding where they are stored. So if you can help with that that would be great. The follow up question would be: do most designers include a broader icon set or just the ones they used? Which would then lead me to ask where to find the rest.
I know these are basic questions but I am just starting down this particular road and need to get some beginner crap out of the way. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your enthusiasm, and glad to have you on board. Themer's icons aren't really stored, they are built into the app. Frustrating but this is to prevent users stealing the icons that are from other designers.
For the icons, unfortunately the designer who created the icons has now removed them. After much searching, the only result we could find was this one here. The only problem is that it's a paid icon pack, and we can't guarantee that the pack will look the same.
Sorry about that!
- Marco
Thanks Marco. I think I have it figured out. I am hunting through some icon sets for Everything Widget. Just need to find one I like. Great app!
