Wisbar Advance 3

[Juslisten]

Anyone here using Wisbar Advance 3? I tried this program because I heard about the cascading window options. I was using Spb Mobile Shell (it kinda spoiled me) but it wasn't working well with my phone. It completely slowed it down for me. Once I got rid of Spb Mobile I wanted something else that would group my programs together. However, I have tried and tried again to get cascading windows with Wisbar Advance 3 but I can't. I have researched how to do it and this is what I got. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup! Open WA3 settings and select "Taskbar". From the "Button Name" drop down menu, select "Start Menu". Uncheck the box "Make this item visible". This removes the start menu button from the topbar.

You can then assign your signal button to perform the same function by selecting "Network" from the drop down menu. In the "Action to Customize" drop down box, make sure "Tap" is selected, then select "Cascading Start Menu" in the "Execute" drop down menu. To position the signal button to the far left of your topbar, make "Align to the" box "Left". Apply your changes and you are done.---------------------------------------------------------

However, I did not get cascading windows. Secondly, how do I group the programs together? Is this program worth keeping? Should I just try Wisbar Advance 2 but I heard that that program slows down your device. Any help would be appreciated. I am using the Treo 700wx.

I have issues on my treo when using WA3 I run WA2 due to this.

For cascading style menus with Treo just go with the Wisbar Advanced LITE;

Not so many skins choice available, but functionality is flawless and that's what I am looking in the first place.

just use quick menu, gives you the menu you want plus some other nice features like when you press ok it actually closes the app instead of minimizing it and it takes up less resources then wa2 or wa3 or wisbar lite heres the link

duh..and what if I want to minimize that app?

In WA 'press OK'=minimize and tap=close

WA2 for now...Its lighter & very stable.
WA3 still needs a bit of tweak so hold off on that for awhile.


OT:
BTW WA2/3 looks so much sexier on a VGA screen (ie my X51v) I find myself looking for exact fit QVGA skins & a ongoing battle of font size, style & cleartype on my Mogul.
On the upside there are 2x as many skins for QVGA but 9/10 almost all of the VGA WA skins look very professional.

you dont have to make the ok close the app its just an option that some people like also if you have that option enabled the end key will then minimize the app
