UP AND RUNNING NOW!

Wow... that is nice! I used to play around with WA2/WA3 and WAD all the time back in my WM5 days, as well as made a similar vista skin too. The one difference was that mine was not nearly that good looking. The one thing I wish could be done is flip the "actual" taskbar to the bottom and the softkeys to the top so you can use that bottom taskbar, like you have in WAD, in every program. Anyway, well done... I'm gonna try this.

Nice! *downloading*


I haven't done a WAD in awhile, I was content using WA2/3...Might give it a whirl this time...

Fantastic theme!! Very detailed and functional. Have not finished changing all of the shortcuts yet but how do you add a virtual page. I use Spb Diary and pressing on the desktop does not give me that option. I see I can add Weather Panel, but do you have a page I might have missed for personal PIMs?

Thank you though. Think I will keep this theme for a while.

Installed on AT&T 8525 running WM6.1

Thanks for the comments. I thought I might have caught out users if they were trying to put on a new virtual page. The Desktop has actually 2 wallpapers. The one on top is used as a button and just needs to be moved aside enough to reach the Desktop wallpaper and then a virtual page can be created or the wallpaper button can be deleted altogether.
I use this button (wallpaper) so I can shut the main menu off by pressing on any area on the Desktop. I hope this has helped and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

hi can somebody help me i cant get in the website to download it everytime i try to get in it some crapy letters come out can somebody help me please thanks.

Thanks for the prompt response. Enjoying it so far...

I'm not sure what you mean as the url above downloads the rar file direct and it works fine. I checked my site and it's also fine. you might need to check settings on your web browser.

Are you referrring to the wisbar or the WAD skin and where did you install them ?

I installed wisbar adv 3. Now what do I do with your file? I'm searching my ppc and cannot find any folder theme/desktop or i cant find it in wisbar advance settings. Or am i doing this wrong. If you can help me or guide me to a help thread then I would greatly appreciate it. Your skin looks really good but lost on how to change my default.

You also need to install Wisbar Adv. Desktop. You will need this for the WAD theme. After installing look for the Themes directory.

O Ok then i gotcha. Thanks mcfarlan

If you just installed wisbar Adv 3 you'll need to make a fie usually in the wisbar program file and name it, most of us name it Themes, once you've done that put your Mobile vista file in that file. Now go to your Wisbar Task Pnael/Settings/Theme/Wisbar Theme/Menu/Install andf then Search within youfr files till you find MobileVistaWisbar and ok it that will take you back to Theme page wher you can then select the skin.
I hope this helps but if you need more help the Lackridge site will give you more detailed help.

Thanks alot for your help. I will try to figure it out

How refreshing! A n00b who is actually willing to do some work!

Good luck man wisbar can be tough, but since thats already packaged up shouldn't be too bad... ask for help if you get stuck.

Hey grzegorz10,

Do you have 'pressed' icons in your library for Powerpoint, Word, Excel and Notes? I am only seeing the single images. I also tried to install the Calculator skin but not sure what to do with the SpbCalc files that are created with the Cab. Ihave the OEM calculator installed. Any guidance will be appreciated.

hi...i'm newbie
 

hi every one ... can any one give me the direct dl for wisbar adv. 3 & wisbar ad. desktop...because i want to try this vista style on my tytn II,...thanks

I think the site is down.. just google it....

Hey, sweet skin. Super slow on my Mogul though >_> Anyways, how can I add some shortcuts onto the desktop.

No i didn't make pressed icons for those items. The onle preesed icons are on the desktop. I have a background png file in Desktop2 which can be sized to the icons you need, then put you icon on and save as a tga

Tks for comments. Regarding your question What I explained on the first page to Mcfarlan goes the same for adding shortcuts I hope this helps

The CAB file is self installing. Drag the CAB file as is to your pocket pc then press on it and it will self install. This works on Mobile 5 & 6

Yeah...I had to change the link because of the Rom I am using...thanks.

hey mcfarlan, how did you get the taskbar to go on the bottom, i installed your theme but my taskbar is still on top. please help.

It is not my theme I am just a user. The taskbar is like that in the theme, I did not have to do anything. Install the WA3 folder from the themeto the WisbarAdvanced3 folder in Program files. You have to install the theme in WA3 then apply it. It's done after that...

where can i get wisbar advance 3 and wisbar advance desktop for free (not the trial but complete programs) reason being i dont like putting credit card numbers on any site. please advise.

Tks for answering reza miah!

Your not going to get these programs for free and really they are such a small cost for so much.

Your credit card details don't go on this site It's done through Paypal which Is Reputable and totally secure payment Company

Didnt know about paypal, im an ebay fenatic. thanks man.

this looks sooo niceee...to bad i cant get it working...im useless

Well lets see what we can do! I'm going to assume you have Wisbar Advance 3 and also Wisbar Advance Desktop. So we should have the Wisbar already on, now the WAD needs to be put in into the file Themes/Desktop/ Each folder put in separately Mobile Vista Portrait and Mobile Vista Landscape. Then select from your Theme Manager the Theme and thats all there is to it. I hopr this helps but if not let me knoe exactly what the problem is and I'll try to help

omg i got it thanks! just one prob. when i press the start button on the bottom of the screen nothing appears? does that have to do something with the mobile vistawisbar folder? cause i dont know where to put that onto my phone in order for it to do what it suppose to do..thanks

ok not only the start button is working neither any of the buttons on the screen are. god im pathetic.

Well you've got me I don't know what you've done and I have know idea what a mobile vista toolbar folder is? Anyway lets try from the start. After opening MobileVistaWAD's-Mobile6.rar you should have a folder with two folders Named Mobile Vista Landscape & Mobile Vista Portrait. From your Desktop Computer (assuming you have your phone plugged in) go to your phones main memory open it up and you will see the folder Themes open this up and you will see a Desktop folder open this up. In this folder copy and paste from your computer the two files mobile Vista Portrait and Mobile Vista Landscape as they are, this is the only place they need to go. From your Wisbar Theme manager go to Desktop Theme select Mobile Vista as portrait under the portrait banner and Mobile Vista Landscape under the landscape banner at the bottom of that page. Ok your way out of that menu and you will find your WAD will be up and running. If your having trouble with the wisbar let me know and also what phone your using, brand, windows mobile

i did what you said. i got it on just the buttons arent working. let me try to reinstall. i am using sprint mogul 6800 running on windows 6 i believe i just upgraded from the 6700

If your talking about the Icons on the desktop that is a simple fix most brands of phone and pocket pc's are abit different. press and hold on a icon and a menu will come up goto properties on that menu and then to the path to Executable on the next menu most of your Items will be in the Installed apps scroll down till you find say your version for phone program if thats the icon you seledcted, select and then Ok your way out of the menus and you will find the icon you selected will work with your phone

well the thing is. nothing on the screen is working. i reinstalled the folders twice. i dont know what i can possibly do wrong? i did it right to where the vista theme appears. just nothing on the screen works. =/. this sucks.

wow that looks really nice.. i tried to install it, but i was not able to bring it up. i followed all the steps. i was able to find them and bring them up to portrait & landscape, and i would exit by just hitting OK, but nothing would change lol.... anyhow it took too much space from my phone and it made it slower. so oh well..none the less it looks very nice =/

Sorry guys I don't know how else to help not knowing your ppc, phones.
