Hey guys,
I used to use Wisbar Advance before I started flashing. There was a cool skin on there that I liked called Windows Vista Portable. Well, after I flashed to 2.5 I got bored and re-installed it. By coincidence, all of the colors for the Vista Aero Dark Skin match the Black 2.5 colors and it ended up looking pretty cool. I took some screenshots for anyone interested. The Vista theme seems to be running much faster with black 2.5. Kudos again JJ!
For the Wasbar Advance 2 software visit www.lakeridgesoftware.com
They also have a plugin called WAD (Wisbar Advanced Desktop) which allows you to make your own theme. IMO i takes a lot of time and the newest version is a little buggy.
You can find the theme here: http://xcskins.50webs.com/ourwork.html
I'm proud to say it's from a dutch dude!
Which App
Hi
Like the screen shots but please could you let me know what app that is that allows the icons to be displayed in the title bar.
Thanks
Andy

As per the OP, he is using Wisbar Advanced Desktop. If you are interested you can purchase it from lakeridgesoftware.com
Looks like a skinned PhoneAlarm, too...
Just a small clarification before you purchase anything from lakeridge software. I am using Wisbar Advance 2. Wisbar advance Desktop (WAD) is a plugin for Wisbar Advance 2 (WA2), which allows you to make your own themes, customize desktop, etc. Everything you see in the screenshots is from WA2. I downloaded a theme (Vista Portable) from
Http://xcskins.50webs.com/ourwork.html
and run that from WA2. So if you are looking for something like you see in the screenshots, you do not need to purchase the WAD plugin. BTW lakeridge has its own forum community which is really helpful if you have other questions.
Good Luck!
is anyone else having trouble getting this link to work?
What link?
How can i put an image in the operator name, like the AT&T logo on the screens?
the link to download the skin.
Here the link is ok!
Here is the link for the newest version:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8727
When you download the theme, install (copy the folder and drop) into:
program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance\themes
Go to wisbar advance settings and on the first screen select the theme. If you download the screenshots in the first post you can see the settings page.
The link that I posted earlier does work, or you can try this link above, or you can google "Windows Vista Portable". You will want to downlaod the qvga version. Hope that helps.
Good Luck!

It's not working for me either.
Just as a bit of info, WA2 has a memory leak that is being worked on. So if anyone is really interested in WA2, realize that issue exists. As someone mentioned earlier, read the forums there for more info.
Otherwise, it's a great program.
aVast antivirus detects a trojan in the download. Anybody else get this?

A german user did a really nice black skin for the trinity.
It is downloadable here...
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=110414
Unfortunatly it is only running on WM5 so far.
Only if more users request it, he will make it WM6 compatible!
So if you like it, let him know...
Which parts of it is not compatible with WM6?

Uli,
Thanks for the link. I checked out the skins, very nice. Although I speak some German, I would prefer to load skins on my device with English button labels. Do you think he might do that for us??? I tried to send him a PM, but the website wouldn't let me. It really looks like the nicest black skin suite that I've seen. Thank him from us .

The Comm-Manager crashes, I think because of the new VoIP-Button etc.
Did you test it on WM6?

Oh...oops Thanks for clearing that up!
CommManager doesn t work with LSVW Rom 2.0.0.5. I had to uninstall it altough its really nice !
Is right, functions only to version 2.0.0.4. An update should soon appear!
Just tried this, and I do like it. At first I was not happy that it showed "Hide Keyboard" instead of "Contacts" when in Phone mode, and was going to uninstall it.
But then I enabled Video Calls and now "Contacts" is back
Unfortunately, it's true that CommManager doesn't work with it. I can live with it for now, but it'd be nice if it gets fixed soon.
Only other gripe, the start up graphic is a little goofy (what's with that font?!)
O.K., had some time to play with this theme, and now I am not happy with it at all:
1. The theme DOES NOT uninstall cleanly. I was not able to uninstall it with either the standard uninstaller, nor with SKTools. The only way I was able to get rid of it, was by overwriting it with the zombienexus theme indicated below.
2. The Catcher theme is virtually identical to the wm6_blackextra_3g_dialpad from this page: http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=513. The only difference I can see is the .tsk background file, which BTW is what causes the problem with CommManager. IMO, unless Catcher was involved in the zombie skin project, he should be giving credit where due.

Anyone can make a skin suite in black it just takes some time, there isn't a copyright on black. I loaded the zombienexus black theme first, and it didn't uninstall cleanly either, in fact, my dialpad had no color after the uninstall, just white boxes. I fixed it by installing the Black Trinity theme. So there you go...

True, except that the zombienexus skins have been around for eons, and the apparently pretty new Catcher skin looks just like their extra-black.
The zombies are pretty well known, as a quick perusal of this and other forums shows, so I somehow doubt Catcher was not aware of their skin before he spent whatever time it took. Perhaps he did some German customization, but a .tsk does not a new "named" theme make....
Whatever.... the zombies theme at least works with 2.0.0.5.
The flash reported a failure (in German, don't remember what exactly - sorry), but the black theme works anyway except for the black background picture. I don't mind since I'm using my own background anyway. My device is WM6 in the Dopodasia variety.
Thanks for the nice theme-work...

Does anybody have solution for uninstalling this theme completely?
What software could i use to create my own themes for WM6?
thankyou
Massimo
I too would like to know if there's a good theme creator around...
I've tried this:
http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm
but it's not very intuitive and I can't work it all out properly...still trying with it though
If anyone has any tips to get the best out of it for making a WM6 theme, please post
Smiffy.
Why did this thread die?
has anyone found some good theme creating software yet? if so can you share?
Thanks bennec83
I use ThemeMaker McDeb ( http://www.mcdeb.com/tmmcdeb/ ). It works with WM6, too. The only thing I'm not able to do, is to determine the taskbar color. It seems that WM6 is generating that color (or the glass effect) from one of the other colors.
I use ThemeGenCe
It has good features but lousy UI
But i recommend it

Definitely - if there's anyone who's got either some proprietary software or cleverly made their own and wants to share a link, deffo please do so - I abandoned trying yonks ago through lack of getting anywhere. The software I tried was either not suited to WM5 & 6 or had very poor UI.
wm6 themes
hiya,
I've had same problem trying to find easy to work
with software for making thmes. I finally gave up trying though and took
up mixing and matching existung themes from others.
Currently using Wisbar 2.7.x as the LCARS theme doen't like 2.8 or above
and Wisbar advanced desktop 1.2
while these are commercial packages, there tons of free themes tostart
you off on lakeridge sofware's website forum and I even found a few really keen
ones on a russian site 4PDA.RU
Google the following Wisbar to get the software
then google 4PDA.RU wisbar and look for the wisbar skins and thmes link to thier page
theres like at least 20+ skins and themes there and more on the lakeridge software forums
enjoy. note: normally I'd post links but I'm in my car at moment using
my hermes bluetooth internet sharing for the hsdpa speed it gives and
I'm posting this from my HTC Blue Angel hahaha yea bigger screen and is why I'm still
mad T-mobile wouldn't work me a deal on the Ameo

It looks like a modded version of eXPerience. It isn't bad at all, but if it is anything like eXPerience, your BA will take a beating as far as resources. Just a thought
okey thanx i am now installing wisbar (again), but how did they get the taskbar down below the screen??

I placed a FAQ section in post #1 now. I see you figured it out but wanted to get your very good question there.
new version 1.1 uploaded in post #1
Mallman,
There are a lot of calls being made to shortcuts that don't exist on my machine and as such I cannot open the theme.
Might be worth putting a list of the shortcuts from the first page in the post so that the scripts can be checked before running.
Good effort, looks better than V1
Regards

thanks for the feedback. Can you let me know what those are? Are you on a WWE ROM? that is what I am building these from so the shortcuts you are referencing probably are wrong. They are probably the control panel shortcuts i put into the new doc on the first page.
I am using WWE rom (Orange UK) but I have moved lots of the shortcuts from the root Programs into other folders to make it easier to find programs.
Once all the shortcut errors 'ran out', the desktop was visible but was a mess.
To install I just copied the zipped folders over the top of the v1.0 installation, that may have caused some issues so when I get home this afternoon I am going to try a fresh install. Finally, the v1.1 theme needs to have a 1.1 title when loading through the settings pages as at the moment v1.0 & v1.1 have the same name.
Regards
having a few issus with the carbon theme. When I click the windows button (bottom left corner) I just get a blank strip appearing on the left of the screen...so I can't get into the "start" to access program etc.
any ideas?

Great theme, but along with the rest of your themes, I have a problem getting it to wor.. I run a norwegian rom and therefore mye storeage card is not called "storage card" but "lagringskort" this makes it impossable for the theme to find the icons is t possible to make a version where the icons are on the device? I have the same problem with your iphone theme..
thx

lol on the never mine thing you wrote. Unfortunately there is no way around it other than to make the "storage card" folder in the root of your internal memory and go from there. That is just the way WAD2 works and I cant change that. Thankfully the themes are pretty small so they dont take up all your internal memory space
Hey everyone!!
My name is Hugo and I'm from Portugal.
I've just made a theme for WM and Christian's Rom for the SE Xperia X1
This is my first theme so be kind!!
DOWNLOAD LINK [Updated October 25th (colour bug fixes)]
----//----
This theme is based on the Classic Blue theme and the background is used under authorization from Trey Ratcliff pay him a visit, it's worth it!!
If you have any problems with the theme please let me know so that I can try to fix it thank you!
[EDIT 2009/10/25] I found a couple of issues with the theme and I'm in the process of correcting them, it has to do with some of the colours being displayed improperly, will update the download link as soon as possible.
oh.. and BTW, I don't mind if you guys link the theme in blogs, twitter or whatever else, but please don't just link the file, link back to this post, that way if I update the download link your posts will still work
[EDIT 2009/10/26] got a new theme for you, it's still a version of "HF Clear" but, as requested I've created a "HF Burgundy Clear" theme.
I think I've got all the kinks out and think it looks good.. what do you say?

you can check the screenshots in a post below

Glad you like it.. as for the builds it works with, well.. it's supposed to work with pretty much any WM6.5.x build since it's based on the Classic Blue Theme, I just messed around with the transparencies on some of the files..
I wasn't thinking about making a red/burgundy one, I guess I just like dark and simple things.. but.. well.. I'm looking at the device right now.. it would look good wouldn't it? hehehe

Hi Hugo, I am from Portugal too, and I really liked your theme.
I have a question, and as you are the only PT I've seen identified, I want to ask you something that is not really related to your theme.
Can you tell me if there is a good, stable, clean and fast windows mobile 6.5 ROM pt version?
I know it might be too much to ask, but a PT would be very helpful to me.
Sorry again to off topic, but I would appreciate your input.
Thanks (Obrigado).

Doesnt matter what ROM you are using, it is a simple cab install...
Download the cab file (link on first post).
Then use your file explorer, or total commander or whatever file explorer you use...
Double click on it, and it will install on your device..
Then go to Settings/HOME/ and HF CLEAR or Burgundy will be one of your options in APPEARANCE....
then just highlight/select it and click okay...
And your Done!
