using ultimate launch i can slide to different tabs. the home tab is blank and less cluttered, if i slide to the weather tab i get the htc home plugin so its not always there.
I'm still trying to figure out a way to get this as a simple install but it might be a step by step tutorial instead. there is A LOT of configuration involved so we will see. It should be available shortly though

it seems much better than HTC home!!!!!
wonderful

Genius

could anyone till me if it works for your phone and if there are any bugs
Thanks

works just tried it at first I thought the chome changer did not work but I was hitting it up and down and you have to go right or lift out no clock on neo do the images go in the windows folder win you change to neo and then to the slide i have not looked i was looking forwould to a rom from you

yes all file do go in the window folder

looking at the reg it looks like you used the bronzeres.dll
for the icons but I can't over right it I was able to change the cpr and if you do use the bronzeres. do you use it on neo to

sorry I just figured it out you use the colored icons with different numbers

WOW. Nice job! Do you mind if I build on this and use it in future ROM releases?

Thanks Rick for the Shadow_SlidingPanels.zip but I'm having tremendous issues downloading from Rapidshare from South Africa. Is it please possible to upload the file to another site like 4Shared or Megaupload?

Does the battery meter work on the original neo theme.

later today ill be uploading a updated chome changer.ccs which you dont have to press reset any more

now ready to download

not bad. it took some figuring out. as reading the help ccs was pointless.
the zip is missing files as there is no changer in accessories folder. the theme files dont get copied to the application data/home folder.
a cab installer would be your best solution with this, i can make this for you as well to make it a 1 step east install.
however there is a cchome slim.css file that is the changer but the slide theme doesnt look good ....
if you want ill go through and make the default theme look like it should ..
but other then that nice work...

here is my mod to the theme

I think I've found an annoying bug with your NEO Theme. When I reboot the phone, the Flight Mode (phone radio is off) is turned on. This is even if it wasn't on before rebooting.
It doesn't seem to happen with the Sliding Panel Theme.

Thanks Rick

Don't use this if you intend to switch between themes
If you switch from Neo to sliding windows and try to switch back again, well, first you can't and second you end up with a blank screen. I had to not only turn the phone off, but remove the battery to get the sliding windows back and then EVERYTHING was reset to the defaults. EVERY change I made, having to type in the MyFaves phone numbers instead of being able to pick them from the address book like the original Neo interface was lost. EVERY custom app was lost. EVERY change made in CHOME was lost.
It's a nice try, but I'd rather live without MyFaves than to have all this trouble.

[WAD2 Theme] Angularz - WVGA

Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!

This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.

it's just WOW!!

Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.

thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.

hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.

how do you get out of author mode

taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx

here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.

Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark

Looks great !!!

wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~

DOOD JOB!!

Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...

Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...
Steve.

Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!

good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?

I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.

Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.

Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.

New WVGA Lock Slider for WM 6.5

I made a new lock slider for our beloved X2. i guess its for any WVGA 6.5 WM phone. you just have to keep a black background in the right places.
with theme X2 Saturn Light this lock screen works even better then the WM stock lock slider. its nicer. the main lock slider is a Windows logo in BW when you press it it becoms in color. Its moved to the lower end of the screen so its easyer to use with one hand.
I added a new SMS notification icon that is a white envelope and when you press it the envelope opens. the missed call icon is also changed.
try it out and say what you think. remember im a noob abouth WM programing. Am a fan of WM for abouth 2 years but I have never tried to do something by my self. this thing took abouth 4 hours of my life yesterday. I went to sleep at 1AM
I dont know how to make CABs so its a bunch of files you copy/paste in the windows folder on the device, you soft reset the phone and its in action.in the zip file
in the zip package there are 2 folders. one with my icons and .cpr files and the other folder has the original files so you can go back to the standard slider icons and locations if you dont like my work by copying the original files in the windows folder and then soft reseting.
I hope I made X2 little more fun and useful. It realy lacks that.
the 4 .png files next to the .zip file are just for you to see how the icons look. the windows logo needed a little editing in size to fit in the lock slider measures but it was fun.
I dont know how to make a part of a picture transparent so the windows logo looks great only on the black surface. but if one of you can make the black korners around the win logo go away that would be grand. i will try with photoshop in time. but you will be faster im shure since i have alot of work.
18.9.2010
I have added the files for this same Lock but with transparent background (I finaly installed photoshop) so you can use it in any WVGA WM 6.5 theme you like not just the black ones.
I hope you like it.
19.9.2010
Added new email and sms icons. They are in isometric 3D.

Thanks for share it !

Thanks. downloading....

new missed call icons
added new icons for missed call. in the zip ar not just the call icons but whole costumized slider, with the new sms/mail icons and missed call slider.

please can anyone tell me where to copy these files.... i couldn't find the location to copy the .png files

a bunch of files you copy/paste in the windows folder on the device, you soft reset the phone and its in action

sorry
i cant replace with the originals
how can i do it?

Hi!
try with Resco File explorer... or WMDC or Activesync

WAD Android theme (WVGA)

***UPDATED 30/10/2010 - NEW VERSION WITH A FEW IMPROVEMENTS - SEE POST 34***
*** UPDATED - SEE POSTS 6 & 7 FOR SCREENSHOTS AND POST 8 FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS ***
Hi all,
Here's an Android theme which I made to use with WAD.
It's the first theme I've created but I thought it turned out pretty well, so I thought I'd share it and see what you think.
It's for WVGA devices (I use a TG01) and is portrait only.
It has:
3 main pages for shortcuts (slide left/right to move between them)
Clock widget
2 menu pages - tap the silver button at the bottom of any main page to slide up to menu page 1, and slide your finger up on that page to access menu page 2.
Slide your finger down to get back to menu page 1 and tap the silver button at the top of menu page 1 to get back to the main screens.
Taskbar with battery, signal, wifi and new SMS notifications.
To install (if you're already using WAD you probably know this anyway, but just in case!!):
Unzip contents and copy the 'WAD Android theme' folder to Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes.
In WAD, tap and hold the screen and select 'change theme' (or 'settings - change theme' depending which version of WAD you have).
A new theme should be listed, if not press menu, then scan for themes to fond it (theme should be called 'original backup')
Tap on this, press menu and select 'set as portrait theme'
Done!!
I also included some other android icons which are not used in the theme, for you to use when making your own changes.
Hope you enjoy it - all feedback welcome.
Wildcardspv

Thanks for sharing!

tweaks
I've discovered there's a couple of tweaks you'll need to make to this theme, to correct some things:
TIME IN TASKBAR:
This is an hour behind the clock widget and is wrong.
Enter Author Mode and tap and hold on the time.
Tap 'properties',then 'text to display'.
Delete what's in the box, tap 'insert variable' and select 'clock - 12 hour'.
Press 'done' until you are back at the main screen.
BATTERY METER:
Schoolboy error - the meter is decreasing in the wrong direction and looks messed up!!
Enter Author Mode and tap and hold on the battery meter.
Tap 'properties', then 'layout'.
Tick the box labelled 'display in the opposite direction'.
Press 'done' until you are back at the main screen.
Regards,
Wildcardspv

Update
Hi there,
This is a bit of a work in progress, so here is a new version with the above corrections already done, a new wallpaper and now also a slide down bar at the top of the 3 main screens, which opens a notifications screen.
Currently this displays the newest SMS message and gives the option to cycle between next/previous messages, as well as reply to them.
In order for this new version to work, please extract the folders from the attachment and place them on your device as follows:
Android theme: Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes
Message2Reg: My Device/Program Files
Messages: My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs
You will also need to install Mortscript, which is included in the attachment.
Enjoy!!
Wildcardspv

Further update
The notification screen now shows todays calendar appointments, as well as your newest email (currently googlemail - although the email account can be changed), with the option to flick between next/previous emails.
Here's a screenshot of the main screen with the slide down bar at the top, and the notification screen.
I'll uplodad this updated version tomorrow.
Regards
Wildcardspv

Latest version
Hi,
Here's the latest version with a few changes - see screenshots.
What's new?
1) new email icon in the taskbar
2) reply to email option on the notification screen
3) lockscreen with slider
For emails to be refreshed when opening the notifications screen, please place 'Mail Refresh.Ink' in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Messages.
For the digital clock on the lockscreen to work, please ensure that in its script, the 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' is set to be the 'Digital Clock' folder which is included in this attachment.
Any questions, please get in touch.
As always, all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
wildcardspv

Improved lockscreen, plus extra wallpapers
Hi all,
Here's a new version with an improved lockscreen, which now includes a volume control slider, new email, SMS and battery level summaries, and network status (see screenshot).
There are also some extra panoramic wallpapers, to span the 3 main screens. In each folder there are 3 files (BG1, BG2 and BG3) - set them as the wallpaper on the following pages:
Desktop - BG1
1 - BG2
2 - BG3
In the last post I said:
"For the digital clock on the lockscreen to work, please ensure that in its script, the 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' is set to be the 'Digital Clock' folder which is included in this attachment."
In reality you'll find that once the them is installed and applied, the digital clock won't appear on the lockscreen.
To get it, enter Author Mode and add a clock. Choose 'HTC Home' as the type, and then under 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' set this to be the 'Digital Clock' folder from the previous attachment.
Hope that makes sense!!!
I wish I could create cabs to make this easier for you!!

wildcardspv

All required files
For the avoidance of confusion, here are all the required files.

and if i dont have WAD installed?!?1 can i still use it? sorry im a n00b at this, i just bought my HD2 but already using froyo on it still i wanna use winmo though!!

Sorry my friend, but this theme is specifically for Wisbar Advance Desktop - without running WAD you can''t use it I'm afraid.
Regards,
wildcardspv

mmm and how do i install it?? is it too much trouble?? i dont wanna screw my HD2...
thanks for the reply

Amazing them + (too?) regularly updated!
But to update the first post would really help.
Anyway, Thank you wildcardspv!
idlehands,
What do you want to install?
WAD -> google
This them -> explained in first post, even if it is the last cab that is to be used.

I like it, but shortcuts don´t work and i have to place all them.
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys
@ idlehands - Like Sener said, see earlier posts for install instructions, also check http://forum.lakeridgesoftware.com/showthread.php?t=16492.
It won't mess up your phone but if you find that you don't like the theme, uninstall WAD and ensure that afterwards the following folder has been deleted:
My Device/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop.
It's always a good idea to soft reset afterwards too.
@ bibiteri - I use a TG01, running KevinPWhite's ROM (TG01_KPW100618.005)
I presume you use a different device or a TG01 with a different ROM?
I guess the shortcut paths may be different on other devices/ROMs, but at least WAD makes it easy to add/edit/delete shortcuts and make them how you want them

I know. Don´t worry.
I have a topaz, htc touch diamond 2, and an energy rom.
Thank you.

What is WAD?
EDIT-- NEVERMIND

I'm trying to test it on my TP2. With WAD 4.0.4, I followed the instructions and copied all the dir around, I go to settings and themes but can't see the your theme.

Have you tried settings>>change theme>> menu>> scan for themes?
Also ensure that the Android theme folder is placed into Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes, BUT do this on the same memory (phone/storage card) as you have installed WAD
(EG if WAD is installed to storage card, place the Android theme folder into
Storage card/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes)
Hope this helps . . .

tanx for ur work. do u have any plan to make it for other resolutions? like QVGA?
i rely want to test it

Can I use this with the free version(trial) of Wisbar?
