[NEW] [Nov-24-08] Manilla 2D Customizer v024225 (background changer bugfixes)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392

UPDATE Nov-24-2008
Nov-24-2008
v0.24.225
- fixed background bug, only worked with "\Windows\ManilaGFX" folder, now works with
"\Windows" folder too.
- fixed some formatting on the m2dct inside of a zip file warning box
- moved some code around so you are not waiting for 5 seconds after you hit apply,
now the spinning cursor should come up immediately

UPDATE Nov-24-2008
v.0.23.223
- added a new background page that will let you specify a png image to use as the
Manila2D background. Right now there is no way to go back to the "default"
background, only restoring a theme, or applying a new theme can change your
background. This feature only supports "hh_fw_background.png" files that are
located in "\Windows" and "\Windows\MainlaGFX" which should satisfy 99% of users
but if you have issues let me know and I will read the value directly from the
HTCHomeSettings.xml file
- fonts drop down boxes are much larger now, much more easy to read
- added warning about a theme file that contains an m2dct file, hopefully this will
cut down on some confusion
- updated donator list

UPDATE Nov-11-2008
v.0.22.215
- added an internet page that allows you to set a different default internet browser
for Manila 2D version 20 (build 1.0.1820.3328)

UPDATE Nov-10-2008
v.0.21.213
- added more fonts [Messaging, interent, settings, weather] (Manila2D v20 only)
- added ability to add a folder of themes in the theme manager, this folder will
be remembered and every time you restart M2DC will look for new themes in that

folder
- updated donator list (I think)
- fixed build process (again... stupid devenv not knowing how to handle dependencies)
- uninstaller no longer applies your backed up theme


UPDATE Nov-04-2008
v0.20.207
- reverted xml file handling back to the version 13 method, the new method caused the latest
build of M2DC to not load after a theme was set through M2DC.
- updated about page with new donators
- added new font entry for the weather pag error text
- fixed a spelling error (thanks p1tater)

UPDATE Nov-02-2008
v0.19.203
- Added 2 new font items, weather tab low temperature, and weather tab forecast temperature
neither of thee will allow a color to be set, not sure why, if you figure it out please
let me know
- removed experimental WM5 support... the cab will allow installation on a WM 5 device,
but this app is being built with the WM6 SDK. The WM5 support messed up my build process
- fixed bug with version not being displayed correctly on the about page (see above reason)

UPDATE Oct-31-2008 16:00 CDT
v0.18.200
- Added font picker tab... this is highly experimental and may be buggy, please provide feedback
- re-ordered the tabs, now the tabs that you are more likely to use multiple times are shown first
- When adding a file to the shortcut the base name (no exe or lnk) is set as the softkey name
- file dialog now sorts directory and files alphabetically, listing directories first
- updated donator list
- launcher are saved before applying a new theme and restored when the theme is fully applied
- file dialog now compares extension string without regards to case
- save and restore tab enable/disable states
- fix bug when home XML line 3 would be checked inappropriately
- file dialog is now landscape and on screen keyboard compatable

UPDATE Oct-29-2008 00:30 CDT
v0.17.183
- added new Home registry tab
-- adds option to set a custom name, custom icon, and hide the network name

UPDATE Oct-28-2008 21:15 CDT
v0.16.178
- SOftkey dialog can now accept shortcut fifles (lnk files)
- added new program that will only open shortcuts for the softkeys
- updated donator list

UPDATE Oct-28-2008 10:30 CDT
v0.15.176
- Added softkey dialog
-- Only allows to set the name and command, not the command parameters
-- The command must be an exe file
- Updated donator list


UPDATE Oct-25-2008 00:00 CDT
v0.14.166
- Changed the underlying way the theme manager deals with XLM changes, previously
the theme manager would only apply "RECT" and "POS" values, now the theme
manager will use the actual file from the new theme, and then just update
the themes xml file with the correct paths for the existing Manilla 2D images.
- updated theme readme with my thoghtss and recommendations on themes and more
detials about how the theme manager process works
- List of available themes is now auto sorted alphabetically
- Updated about page with usernames of contributors
- added an artificial 5 seconds wait after disabling M2D, this is to give
Manilla2D.exe time to unload itself and release any image files it might
still have a handle on

with this version the themes need to be a complete theme, (ie...all files including homesettings.txt) and also has to be formatted to .m2dc...alot of the newer themes created are already formatted to work with this version
