If you dont know how to install this theme it can be a real P.I.T.A, so here it goes:

1- Download theme and Wisbar Advanced Desktop- http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/pro...dvanceDesktop/

2- In the Windows 7 theme rar file you downloaded, copy the files in the fonts folder to Windows/fonts

3-Copy the welcomehead192.png to windows root. (If you would like the W7 boot screen)

4-Install Wisbar Advanced desktop (EXE from pc) or use the .cab file attached, then open the program. It should say "Installing default theme."

5-Looking at the default theme now.

6-Go back to the W7 theme rar file and click on Windows 7 portrait and import the theme to program files/lakeridge/wisbar advance desktop/themes/default portrait and hit ok. **WAIT** about 20+ seconds untill it says theme succesfully imported. Then do the same for the Windows 7 default landscape file.


7- Tap and hold the screen to show the menu, click change theme. Hit menu/scan for themes. Should say found 2 themes. Hit ok. You should now see the Windows 7 portrait and landscape files.

8-Tap the Windows 7 portrait so its highlighted. Hit menu and set as portrait theme. Do the same for Landscape. Hit Apply.

9- Soft reset!! When it boots you should now see your Windows 7 theme!!!!

10-Weather icons copy somewhere to device and go to Settings and set path to folder with the windows 7 weather icons.

**Also, if you tap and hold the screen you can go into Author mode which allows you to set the path of all your shortcuts!!!

A little video help:

I know this theme install can be a pain. I still have trouble sometimes myself. I just recorded videos of me installing this on my current rom. I used MyMobiler to record the video and for some reason it plays it back really fast, so you may need to slow it down when your watching it, but it may help you out. I had some trouble getting past the welcome screen after it was installed, but after a couple soft resets it came up. Im not sure if it depends on the rom your using. Past roms seemed to work flawlessly, some seemed to be tempermental, anyways here are the youtube videos I made for the install of the theme, hope this helps!

That shit's pretty tight... Does it replace Manila..?

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

It doesnt replace it. It uses WAD and can be easily enabled/disabled.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

Wow, so nice, he customized this theme like Win 7 on PC. But I wonder if I install this theme, it will replace TouchFlo 3D of HTC Touch Pro 2 right ?

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

No, it wont replace TF3D.
You can stop the theme by simply pressing the end button to return to TF3D.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

so dyou have to actually put WAD on your phone to use this or do you just install what he has up on his website?

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

This runs using WAD, so you need to download WAD here:

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

are there better instructions somewhere on how to install this. i installed WAD, but not sure where to go from there....there are 2 WADESKTOP files that i have no idea what to do with?

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

there are instructions in the file that you unpack from his website. i believe it says to copy some of the files into the windows directory and the clock fonts go into another.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

got it..used google translate...now i can read the directions.

ps...thanks!

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

118 RAM.....wish I had that.
Looks nice.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

trying now.... there was an illumination theme that someone posted that was in french.. this looks even better and its in ENGLISH!!! thanks

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

this looks great, thanks for the find and instructions

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

i tried, but was not too impressed. i got many shortcut errors on almost anything i tried to bring up, and there was not a whole lot of integration as far as i could see...... look great though!! will try out a little more later..

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

You need to tap and hold screen to get in Author mode which allows you to delete/add anything and also In there you can then set any shortcuts to the correct paths for where you installed your programs..

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

Maybe its me but following the instructions, I get stuck on some purple welcome screen. started from a hard reset and the same thing happened. Running MM War rom so maybe thats the problem, but doesn't work for me.

Edit: Well it loaded up in landscape, but its slow. Also same purple background, but when I slide kb in, it goes to the Win 7 Welcome screen and when I hit the lil arrow it goes to the purple welcome screen again :(

Thanks for the info, I never used WAD before. It's very nice looking, I wouldn't call this WAD thing fully functional since its quite static and takes a long time to configure, instead of having universal turn off animation and font size. I didn't think you need the login screen for the theme either.

Probably not daily use, but good for showing off. I cut some 800x480 images for the theme if anyone want to use it:

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile; WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50301; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version/10.00)

Wow, I'm really impressed now that I have a chance to familiarize more with WAD. It's actually very customizable. I can move most objects just by dragging it around. I deleted the welcome and shutdown pages so it start up on the desktop. I set the taskbar to execute the command "display all running windows". It's actually very usable, would be more ideal on a faster phone like the HD2.

Hi,

I need help. When unlocking wisbar it says welcome but stays there for a long time. Does it take a really long time or is there something wrong? I have to exit wisbar everytime I unlock phone.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

How do I disable that? Though it would be a pity since it is more realistic if the welcome screen will work.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

When ever I scan to find the themes in the suggested folder, it never finds any. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

WOW, that is cool looking, almost exactly like Windows 7...no QVGA and I am sure my titan would not handle it...but, really f'n cool...

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

I'm encountering problems with the screen. I'm not sure why. Should I uninstall HDWALL? I already disabled Sense.

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

Love that google!!

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA
 

I have HD2

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA

Re: Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme by Marco released!! WVGA+VGA

Thanks man, I thought 23k was really small for a theme. That was a s*itty way for him to go about it. They closed his thread at xda because of his shenanigins. If he wants us to pay for it then charge for it. If he wants it to be donationware then release it and I'll donate but don't have me download something that gives me a link to paypal. Now he won't see a penny from me. I'm all against warez but I hope someone posts his project on a warez site :twisted:.

I've had multiple conversations regarding forum rules via PM with lesscro. Unfortunately he has decided to continue to disregard them. As such, this thread is now permanently closed. It's truly a shame. http://forum.xda-developers.com/imag...lies/frown.gif

Yep, they shut it down. I m not sure what his plans are now with the release.

Re: Windows Phone 7(Coming soon)+Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme WVGA+VGA
 

It is a shame because it looks really nice on video but I'm sure someone will step up in his place and make nice a windows 7 theme. There's demand for it

Re: Windows Phone 7(Coming soon)+Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme WVGA+VGA
 

guys how do you "import" the theme??

Re: Windows Phone 7(Coming soon)+Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme WVGA+VGA
 

You just click on the file and it should ask if you want to import the theme.

Go back to the W7 theme rar file and click on Windows 7 portrait and import the theme to program files/lakeridge/wisbar advance desktop/themes and **WAIT** about 20 seconds untill it says theme succesfully imported. Then do the same for the Windows 7 landscape file.

Re: Windows Phone 7(Coming soon)+Windows 7 ULTIMATE theme WVGA+VGA
 

Can this be modded to be used in wisebardesktop ver.1 Reason I ask is because I'd like to see f my old HTC Blue Angel can use this even though it's on wm2003. I like the ability to adjust memory allocation in wm2003. I notice that the skins extensions are ".wadedesktop". Is there anyway to convert it to a .skin which ver.1 uses?
