This is a unique Python based program, with Scripts Combined from AIFTOOL and MBMTOOL. Considering the fact that they are very inter-related and complementary applications, its better to combine them to form a full-fledged script. And thus, its called a final version. It creates/splits Aif and Mbm very independently on your S60 device. Besides, you can create split/create/edit MBM App Skins (e.g.FileMan or FExplorer ).

Notes:
Creating MBM is the most significant step in Creating an AIF. The success of creating an AIF depends mostly upon the synthesis of a working MBM. An MBM is a Multi Bit Map image, which encrypts multiple images together. For an MBM, to be used for creating an AIF, its necessary to fulfill certain criteria. It must contain 4 specified component images, of definite size.

Make sure to place only 4 images at a time(preferably *.png) files in the Directory E:\Images\MbmTool\img. The Four images represent:
- Icon image on the menu
- Its mask
- Icon image in the application
- Its mask…

Keep no extra/adventitious files in that Directory. Change the set of files to get a new working MBM Tool.

To get a working MBM, please note the following:
- The Menu Image and Its mask Can be maximum 42×29 pixels.
- The Application Internal Icon Image can maximally be of 44×44 pixels.
- You can adjust the Mbm icon quality with this release.

For 42×29pixels 24 to 16 bit.
For 42×29pixels 8 bit.
For 44×44pixels 24 to 16 bit.
For 44×44pixels 8 bit.
Or any possible combinations…
