Cool Skin for Black 2.5

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?

Djoub's Themes for HD ...?!

As I was googling around & searching for themes for my HD, I passed by some excellent themes that were created by Djoub..
Truely amazing themes with classy designs & vibrant colors, yet in cool style
Unfortunately, they were only for the Diamond!
Anyway,
Can you here me Djoub? Any one..?!
I'd really appreciate it if I could find some of his themes...

hmmmmmmmmm
looks like there's alot of interested folks but no actual replies or openions here....
Very well..
Allow me then to post Djoub's skin site for you to check out his amazing work..
The skins are compatable with Diamond but unfortunately not the HD
http://www.djoubhaaskins.com/html/index.php

Seems like I'm only talkin to myself ...
Oh well.. whatever ..

why dont you start porting one of his over to the HD using manila editor? he does have some good looking tf3d themes

FINALLY !!
A reply from my favorite developer
Actually, I tried once experimenting on one of the diamond themes to turn it into HD's using manila editor... The new theme just didn't work !
I googled my way around to find out a way to adjust the bottom slider bar so that it fits the HD screen (basically that's why we can't use diamond themes on HD ) but found no answer what so ever...!!
Q: how can I adjust the screen dimentions in manila files so that it fits the HD screen?
Perhaps if I only knew how to do that... I might start porting some themes myself
mallman,
can you help me out here with a hint or two?

in my opinion the best way to do it is to grab his theme and export all the png icons out of it. Next you need to grab your HD manila files and start replacing them with his. With a little patience and just going one by one you will end up with his theme and it will fill your whole screen
You can copy and paste all of your manila files out of your \windows folder on your HD then point manil editor to those files.

oh and thanks for calling me your fav but i pale in comparison to what some of these devs do here.

& that's exactly what I tried to do in the first place !
last night I thought I'd give it another shot; I extracted all manila + png files from my HD, & tried to replace some manilas using the manila editor like I should.. But I couldn't
Every time I try replacing a file, an error message appears saying something like "parameters are not valid" !
I googled for a solution & I thought I need to update the .NET Framework & problem should be solved.. but it hasn't
I'll try again later... This is my project as a beginner in PPC world
Thanks mallman for your advice..

I am also interested to know if anyone has successfully converted Djoub's themes for the HD. Especially the Hell Theme.

Working pretty well on my Miri V26.

Hugo Faria - HF Clear Theme for SE Xperia X1 + NEW HF Burgundy Clear

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?
DOWNLOAD LINK
you can check the screenshots in a post below

looks good
looks nice man
you might wanna put up which winmo builds it works with....
Works great with me...my info in my signature...
Any other themes u working on? I have yet to see any really nice red or burgundy ones...hint hint...

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
greetz!

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).

great themes.... i just write it in my blog.

hey dude
I don't think that there is a WM6.5.x PT rom out there for the X1 but then again, I never looked.. hehehe mine came from the UK, I really don't like my software in Portuguese.. it's an old thing with me, when I started messing with computers it was all in English so I just kept with it hehehe
Glad you like the theme though I will be updating it since I've found a couple of glitches with the original one..

Hey man great theme, keep it up definitely loved it

nice update
nice update
cant wait to see what ya do next redish...lol

Nice one mate Will check it out as soon as I got my xperia back!

sorry.. the theme is for windows mobile, I believe the TouchFlo uses themes of its own, so no, I cannot fix it.

Great job
sorry it took me so long to download and give some feedback, works been crazy.
I just installed it, and i love it man
i wonder though...with other themes I have, they have kinda rounded corners...like on the top bar and on the bottom...in the corners..
do u know what i mean?
but i do love it

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!

Hugo, can´t live without manila! How could i had my phone for almost a year without putting a rom in it?!? So i can´t tell u a lot about pure rom´s... for me the tab´s are everything!

Somewhere here on xda is a thread for a theme generator that is linked to this site: http://ppcthemeonweb.benthon.com/ThemeOnWebEn.htm
At that site, you can generate themes to your heart's content. You just have to get some Christmas images of your choice and save the Jpegs on your computer to be used by the online theme generator.

yes
Thanks man, really!!
Will try it out as soon as I can

You just need to know your screen resolution when you select the initial theme. Prior to this, you need appropriate pix stored in a directory. Then you will set up the landscape and portrait lay outs. If I remember correctly, once you tell the website you want to create the theme, it will provide a link for the download of the theme it creates using your info.
The developer did a nice job and does not add watermarks or other info indicating his site was used to create your theme.
I did one or two themes just after I discovered the thread here and have the exterior website as a Favorite.
If you're going to publish your theme, I'd recommend going to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page unless you're good at creating home made pix. Wiki Commons has pictures that are in the Public Domain that can be used without violating a copyright. Typically if you use a picture in the Common Domain, you might want to attribute where you found it and release using the same Public Domain license.
Using the Search box off to the left side of the screen will call up pictures.
Good luck!

I've tried it guick but it looks like it's not for blackstone? no WVGA res?
and in the preview with my pics, it looks like it's for devices without touch? I know it has nothing to do with touch or no touch, I just wants you to know wich phones I mean. Like blueberry devices.

It creates a very basic theme one probably more suited for non-touch/non-TouchFlo PDA or smartphone. It's capable of creating every smartphone's theme - you just need to know your phone's resolution. I don't have a Blackstone or knwo what WVGA is. I have built two basic QVGA themes for my Jade Clone because I looked up my resolution and worked with the online theme generator to build themes.
You have to become your own master if you want to have Christmas themes.

HTC Touch HD resolution is 480x800..
There were no such resolution to choose.
Tried HDWall but can't get it to work, will try even more
Thanks for your help man
