tigreyes, I'll get to your question in a bit as it relates to my experience installing this package...

but for those just tuning in, let's clarify what WAD and WA2 do.

WA2, or Wisbar Advanced 2, is responsible for controlling the bar at the top.. it has its own file folders inside your Program Files. This nice piece of software also skins your Start panel.

WAD, or Wisbar Advance Desktop, controls the actual desktop. It also has its own file folders, and also creates a Themes folder where you can place all your themes as lazyboy explained in his README (for all of you who skimmed over that.. you are probably having problems right about now.. lol).

Sometimes WAD will quit out and WA2 will stay in operation. I'm not sure if this next step is a bug, but when that happens to me, I usually quit out all background tasks through WA2 (sometimes even WA2 stays open when it should close..lol), if necessary exit WA2 through its own "exit" command. Then restart WA2 and it all should open right up.

Now, on to tigreyez's question...

It seems like you've done everything correctly if you see the blue screen. You should have installed your portrait, and landscape folders inside of /Themes/Desktop

If you have the blue screen, what that means is that the theme file cannot find the background. If you have installed WAD and the Themes Ccorrectly, then when you hold your stylus down to get a context menu it should read:

Code:
New>
------------------------
Page>
------------------------
Reload Page
Author Mode
Theme Manager
Settings
When you go to the Page> option, it expands another menu where you'll see "Wallpaper" somewhere in there. TADA! Click and it should be easy.

Where are your icons??? Well, you might need to load them all yourself one by one. The different hues of blue i'm assuming is all of your icons with missing images all layered over each other. I could be wrong.


Here's a tip that I just discovered and it should be in the README if it's not (ok ok.. I skimmed too...).. if you hold down the stylus on the desktop, and go to the Page> menu, you can uncheck the Lock Items option.. mine were locked by default. When you unlock them you should be able to drag your icons around!
