Hi all,
It's been about 15 months since I last used my Toshiba TG01 but my HTC Desire recently died and I'm back to the world of WM for now.
Anyway,
I used to make the occasional theme for Wisbar Advance Desktop (WAD) and thought I'd have a go at making an Ice Cream Sandwich Android based theme (portrait only) to use. It's fairly simple, but I like it, so I thought I'd share it.
Features:
- 3 Homescreens
- ICS clock widget
- Weather widget
- Calendar widget
- Pull-down notification bar (like android) giving latest SMS info, next appointment info as well as BT and WIFI toggles
To install:
1) extract the contents of the attached .rar archive
2) Install Mortscript
3) Go to \Program Files\Mortscript and tap the yellow mortscript icon
4) Copy the folder 'Message2Reg' to \Program Files
5) Copy the 'Messages' folder to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
6) Install Ice cream sandwich.wadesktop (when asked where to, choose \Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes)
To enable theme:
1) Ensure WAD is running
2) Tap and hold screen - choose 'change theme' from popup menu
3) If this theme is not listed, press menu then scan for themes
4) Once this theme is listed, tap it to highlight it, press menu then set as portrait theme
That should be all done.
Optionally, install Winstart to replace the usual WM start menu as I feel it provides a nicer experience and scrolls smoother etc.
Anyway, hope you like the theme.
Regards

Is it WAD something like SPB or CHT and must to instal first, if it, where to download WAD. Thanks
It certainly is.
It's available from plenty of places, but the developers website is here:

Thanks bady
Hi there,
So I updated the theme a little bit, nothing major.
What's new?
1) Data connection indicator in status bar - grey shows connection available and goes blue when connection is in use (see pic 2). Unfortunately it cannot specify G/E/3G/H etc.
2) Calendar widget. Tap anywhere on the calender to launch the calendar app, tap the arrows to change months.
3) Weather widget. Save the attached medium weather icons wherever you want and go into WAD settings to direct the medium weather icon set to that filepath. Then change WAD settings to whatever location you want weather info for and add a weather icon (medium) size to the same page as the weather widget and drag the icon over the widget.
4) Added next calendar appointment info to pull-down notification bar.
I think that's everything
Regards

Quick info for masrterk; If you are looking for someone who can do magic with SPB MS is MR.Skippen but I think he is out of the game.You should even try.
Have you seen LeSScro's version of ICS for WAD? It's quite nicely done. You might take a look at it if you haven't seen his.

Yeah I tried that, and it's yet another great theme from Lesscro, I just found it to be a bit sluggish and difficult to configure, so I made this to be simpler and quicker and just offer the features that I need

Until...you start filling out all the various requests you'll get from people asking you to do everything including the dishes! Which is what tends to happen. I myself almost never make such requests BUT...if you can get it to empty my 3 cats' kitty litter boxes, I'd be mighty grateful to you! LOL

I totally know what you mean, I made a desire based WAD theme a while ago and there were loads of requests in that thread!!!!!
Fortunately this time, this theme doesn't seem to be as popular so I'll keep sharing any updates I may make, but that's about it
This theme is just great!
I would use it on my i900 (WQVGA 240x400).. but since my phone is so old now... Is there a chance to get this theme on my resolution? Or I could simply adapt it myself, but I don't know how, except for the image files? I quite used wad2 until now, so I don't think it could be that hard.
Thanks!

I don't have a WQVGA device to test it on, so I couldn't really make the theme for your resolution but by all means, feel free to do so yourself
As the resolution is 50% of the size of WVGA, I would have thought that you could probably just take all the image files from the theme, make them 50% smaller then put them back on the phone, overwriting/in place of the original image files. After that it should just be a case of re-positioning everything so the spacing is ok for your screen.
Maybe it's not so simple, I don't really know, but good luck!!

You said "only the features you need." What features would those be? You never did say on page 1 what features you put into it. And, yes, keep sharing the updates.

Good point!!
OP updated....
I actually fixed my HTC Desire yesterday so I don't think there will be any more updates to the theme. If there are, I'll definitely share them, however if anyone wants to take it and use/modify it in any way, that's more than fine - just mention it in credits.

So, it's back to the world of Android for you. Glad you got it fixed. Hate when my phone craps out as it has done a couple of times and only by sheer luck brought it back from a bricked state. Good luck!
Nice to see a " WAD bro' "...
Once again, you provide a different vision of ICS...
Nice one... Good Job !

This theme is based on my previous Blackberry Bold theme, but, as you can see, looks nothing like the old theme. All of the graphics come from the Storm Precision set I found on a Blackberry message board.
WAD2 Installation:
1. Drop the "Bold" and "Bold P" folders to the WAD2/Themes folders.
2. Drop the "Themes" folder into the root directory of your Storage Card.
3. To change to the theme, go to WAD2 Settings, Change Theme, Set Bold P as your Portrait theme, Bold as your Landscape.
More Pics of the WAD 2 theme.
Now some of the SMS-Chat.
Installation
1. Drop "Black" and "Black_Alert" files into Vito/Sms-Chat/Skins/Bin folder.
2. Restart SMS-Chat.
And finally, FunContact (Not 100% complete, but all the basics are there.)
Installation
1. Drop "black_parts" file into Vito\FunContact\Skins\Bin folder.
2. Restart FunContact
Did you mean to post this in Dev and Hacking forum instead?
Nice theme btw...
Yes, I did. Didn't even notice I'd switched forums.
Re-homed
Dave
Thank you, sir.
what version of sms chat are you using. Its important to say what version cause they add graphics in newer versions and im running sms-chat v1.05 and these graphics mess the look up. Nice work though.

hey this version runs the best on my device so i don't complain about using an older version it does what i need it to do and so far with no bugs. I have tried newer versions and they bug out on my phone.
A couple of requests:
1. Any way to make the bluetooth icon a little more finger-friendly?
2. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when I choose the vibrate option from the phone, the picture of the phone in the left hard corner disappears.
3. Anyway to get the Contacts skin for iContact Burt Edition?
4. Anyway to get a matching dialer skin?
Thanks, great theme.
Hey oscarbum Can you guide me how to change the skin file please...
On which program?
Great Skin in here I just happen to discover. I'm using Sms Chat 1.25 and I had to redo a little bit the layout in photoshop to make it work. But the problem I seem to have is concerning the gradients. Sms Chat seem to apply a transparency on it and the type of gradient you used for the skin bars is creating artefacts. Any ideas?
here's two screenshots...
I you need the new files for sms chat 1.25 just tell me, I'll sent it to you
thanks
look nice, i will try...thanks

The problem is with VITO's forced transparency on some of their graphics. Happens with Fun Contact also and with most of the Winterface themes I built. Not sure how to get around it.
You're right, that's what I figured, playing around with the theme. And the thing is it's quite difficult to know exactly the conditions to create a clean bmp with vito's specs. That's a bit of a shame, since their original black skin has gradient as well and does work well. And as you say, it's the same with funcontact.
When looking for some Winterface themes, someone managed to create skin files (not just replacing the bmps) by editing the hex code of the theme.skin file. It was easy to find the declaration of the bmp files needed to make a custom skin and I think, somehow it might be possible to find a transparency parameter in this file.
2 Minds sharing one thought, to experiment and create in their lab's. The outcome will always be a new breakthrough in the PPC world of theme's.
More experiments and creations are taking place in the labs, more to come.

Hi!
Looks marvelous!!! I'm realy happy with this..
But I've only got one question. I once made my own theme and I very much like that one too. But I like your top and bottom bar very much..
Could it be possible to make a cab file for me, to install only your beautiful top and bottom bar? That would be superb, cause then I can maybe combine it with my own skin later on..
But don't worry: I'll tell my friends the credit goes to you guys..
Thnks!
Mzl, Floris!
i LOVE it !! Thanks !!!!!!!
erm why can i now only select US-States in weather damn'it I live in germany lol ... can anyone guide me on how to get that back? else its great
i think its related to 7fccb263_manila, right? anyone got that in original? thanks!
Or maybe you could tell me witch files in the CFC zip file are the files which install the top and bottom bar.. that would also be good for me!
Thnks!
the task bar is not part of it, it is a theme for wisbar if I'm not mistaken...

and in the landscape section....programs doesnt work.
oh weather wont update as well.... couple be cause something else im running, not sure.
when i get on my laptop ill check it more... im on the tp
thanks....
also, maybe you guys should add a options section to change the font and the color of the font without having to dowload a new cab. i have some walpaper that i like but dont work well with the current font color. be nice to be able to use the same theme since i do like it but be able to change the wallpaper.
thanks for the hard work guys, awesome
Rocking Theme
Thanks for this. A great team effort and awesome theme.
I only have one small request and it may just be me but I crave colour
Not the fonts just the wallpapers and maybe the icons.
You guys have really outdone yourselves on this one. Keep working together cause this is outstanding.
Maybe the next project could be transparent top and bottom bars?

I agree 100%, a few months ago, I barely use 10% off all of the pimp stuff I got installed on my phone lol, that's probably why I ditched the iphone and came back to WM, it's no fun if you can't tweak it to your liking right?

I can help I could'nt yesterday but today I can! I learn.
Let's be intopic here and post that screenshot at the plugin thread. It should be no problem fixing it for you, if you can already see something Everything in that plugin can be scaled and shifted around in the .cpr file Now: post it!
Well after making all those icons I was a little disappointed in how fast my battery was dead from using all those animations and everything. Also the blue squares get bored so I came up with a little more stylish idea. So it looks good as well when I am over at customers.
So I took a new default WAD2 theme (just black screen) and started up all over again, just using the basic items I really use and leave all animation out of it. For two reasons, battery consumption and my X1 is a little to slow to work fast with it;-) During daytime I set this theme as default, simple, stylish, quick and accurate.
It contains in basic just 2 home screens which you can reach sliding upwards or downwards. From those two pages you can enter more pages like applications, weather and games. For applications and games I will add all icons I made in 2 different folders so you can add whatever you're favorites are. I will post them seperately so you can put it on your storage card (because the files are 30MB) If you tap on the time the screens goes off, so saves battery as well.
Applications can handle 24 of your favorite programs.
Games can handle 24 of your favorite games

Here a screenshot of the home pages:
It is 40 MB in total:
wadesktop file is 10MB, press it and select the folder "Lakeridge"-"Wisbar Advance Desktop" - "Themes" to install it on your device. After around a minute a pop up screen tells you it's installed. Now start Wisbar Advance Desktop and change theme. Tap on "search for new themes". After a while a pop up screen appears " Have found 1 new theme". Select the PollPixx theme and in menu tap " Set as Portrait theme". Than tap apply! Enjoy....
The 30MB of Icons can be installed on your memorycard.
As I have a Dutch Rom you probably need to redirect the shortcuts. Easy: Just press long on the screen and choose Author Mode. Than press long on the icon you want to change the shortcut and choose properties. Choose Script on Tap and tap Launch a Programm, now tap edit and select the programm from your device. That's all.
In games and application if you want to change program or game, just select another image and edit Launch a Program to the program/game you prefer. All Icons of the most popular Games and Programs are in the zipfile. If you need another one, just let me now and I will make it for you.

Do you have suggestions to make it better without slowing it down, just shoot;-)

Arnold
THANKs
GREAT
keep the work on
I love it
What program do you use to create themes?
In this case I use Wisbar Advance Desktop (obviously) and for all the icons I used photoshop with some plugins from Nik Software to build.
I now want to create an as clean as possible theme which I can use when I am at work. No animation of barely dressed girls or too much colours, just a uniform easy to use theme for during the day. I will make a movie of it tonight.
Cheers,
Arnold

Video added.
Just a theme during working hours.
Still under development so if anyone has any suggestions please shoot!
Cheers,

well, eventhough just one person liked it I released it anyway so you can try it out. It's my default portrait theme during office hours.
Enjoy.

The only thing I used was the "back" Icon, but you know I am a photoshop lover so I can make also one in 4 seconds and that's not a graphic highlight which you can complain about. Switching pages is just in WAD2 as an option which I used. Further on I started over using my own Icons with nothing from you at all. What are you talking about??????
Don't let people think I am just ripping of your theme mister, just download it and you will see it will be all mine which I posted in the icons topic for your theme. As people liked those Icons so much (over 5500 downloads) you might have sold more of your theme, so don't start this discussion, because you will lose on all points my friend.
If you want I change the back Icon, but how pathetic would that be. Further on I can prove the rest is mine, all .psd files are in my computer with the date I made them, so long before you bullsh*t around now.
For christ sake, I even forward people to your site to buy your theme because it is so good, and now you are pulling my leg! Can I at least call this "typical" ???
Cheers,
Arnold
this variant looks free? is it? if so, good for u! You should release a skin for it with WP7 colors too.
Well Midvik is doing the coloured theme and also is rajivshahi, to avoid an overkill of these themes I think I stick with my variant. They do a great job.
Of course what I make is free, that's how it works here at XDA. However, everyone can donate if they like it.
Cheers,
Arnold

Stop wining because other makes bether theme than you
And free
@ stianbert...
better than me...
Pollpix (correct ?) made a fantastic Job on Ui customization, now he want fly...
That's great... I respect all work creation and idea to develop and unique and very usable UI... that's why he create this version based On metro UI without panel addition...
RC2 coming soon, after watch demo UI... buy me a Juice...
Have Fun...
okay, let's stop the discussion now and go on topic again.
This was the first time I exported a theme, so I hope no one had problems installing it. Still working on some improvements, but I also deleted some already because the theme would be to extended for quick office use than.
Well, at least it keeps me thinking
Cheers,
Arnold

someone teaches me how to make animated pictures hub?, (make the images in random step .... Thanks !!!!!
Rock on man..im gunna use your icons on my phone is that ok? not a big WP& theme guy your icons are awsome tho.
And dont let them haters(lescro..or however the hell) talk crap. he is just pissed cuz you have better icons and skills.
AND TECHNICALLY LESCRO(AGAIN HOWEVER) you were basing yout theme of Windows Phone 7 theme so technically your jackin there **** to..so dont start complaining when people do a better job then you.
Of course that is okay, that's why I am posting my themes;-)
Well, I am definately not as good as lesscro and have no problem what so ever with him neither, he is good in modifying I am good in graphics (I earn my living making graphics), but it is great fun make those themes. But it is hard to make an original fresh idea
Enjoy
Cheers
oh, I don'y know anything about animation hubs, Leonardo, maybe you could ask Lesscro how he made that working in his theme. I assume it has some mortscript files in it or something...
Animation
thanks, Pollpix certainly is with Mortscript but okay what about "lesscro" I prefer not having to ask him, I'm afraid to ask him a "donation" to teach me how ... rsrsrsrsrsrsr
is there landscape to this ? btw its beautiful im feeling it.
▐▄▀▄▀▌2 NEW Themes for Testing / 2 Possible Added: 3/26
WELCOME
as i have stated in my ELse theme thread i have been working on some cool new themes for Throttle Launcher...
they dont all work great and they are very simple so far...
so no major mind blowing features...
i do plan on refining them to get them to work nicely for everyone though..
ONLY WVGA AND WQVGA for both
i am also working on a neat idea i had for straping my TD2 to my wrist with a strap... and using it as a glorified Wristwatch..!!!
so i am custom making a WVGA theme for this purpose... its really only practical for the TD2 as it is so thin ...
other phones way to bulky !!!!
i will upload some pics soon... but in the meantime here are the themes for you guys to get all worked up about and to beg me for the next two months to finish
is called Freedom Fone... for now...
cool features.. slide down on the screen to activate the lockscreen
and the awesome CLOCK!!!
_____________-
thats its for now... enjoy
TWO MORE THEMES IN THE WORKS!!!!!!
ZUNE PHONE
look how similar the TD2 and the ZUNE HD look!!!!
PSP PHONE... maybe if im creative enough!!!
no zip's yet.... be patient....
if you want these just post a message which one you prefer to have done!!!
reservado tambien...
y reservado
Liking the Lacuna theme... patiently awaiting tweaks.
I would like kinetic scrolling in the mesages section (like in friends section) if possible.
Huge potental in this theme. I am looking forward to future releases.
hey trekfan, very very nice... i actually dont really miss ELSE anymore with these ones in the mix
u r such a creative genius!
at this stage: im liking the lacuna theme, but this may change over the course of the next couple of days/weeks
ok some initial thoughts/feedback:
freedom fone:
clock:loving it! if you could select program to open that would be good!
date: the digits for the date dont look that great... would be good if i can i open calendar if i click on the date
phone: not implemented yet? at this stage it goes to start menu (im sure you know)
messages: would be good to be able to select sms program to use
calendar: the appointment subject and the location of the appointments seem to overlap. if we could select the program to open when we click on an item that would be great
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
lockscreen: HOT!
other:
-how about next alarm info?
-how about adding a tab for email? or being able to choose what tabs u show on the home screen?
lacuna:
clock: next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
friends: favorites would be very good, especially if you have a lot of friends
text: i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
mail: im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
-the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
first to jaeskil...
yes i wil have kinetic for messages... but uits not working right now
wil_dee
you share my visions.....almost all of those things are planned implementations....
glad everyone likes lacuna.... its my favorite too
i really eager to know how the notification will be like in lacuna themes...also can u put the refresh button to message page....thanks...love ur themes...

Click to collapse
for the notifications...
see the little blue rectangle in the top right....???
when a new text or email or event is up.... another blue rectangle will appear a little under the first one with words to the left of it.... saying "1 new message" or "1 new email" or whatever and when yo u click it it will take you to the throttle launcher page for the corresponding notification first ... rather then straight jump to the app of your choice.
kinda like this...
im not sure how to implement the refresh button but i will try...
lacuna lockscreen....
will look like this.
notification style for the lockscreen is undecided...
it will actually be the first page when the launcher shows up... this is so it can have the nice scroll effect...
Liking Lacuna keep it simple and you have a winner there
Did you make the changes we discussed to the FF clock images yet?
It looks like as mentioned in someone elses thread custom images are going to be needed for the date as well.
in your config the theme is still defined as switchblade as well - only checked to see if I got a mention
*edit* have now taken a look at both themes
the first thing that needs to be done is an editable and selectable wallpaper option to be inserted into both, now on to specifics
Freedom Fone does appear to be roughly where we left it, I have tried several ways and cannot figure out how to get the image for contacts to appear next to the messages. Otherwise it is a good solid clean theme which just needs the little touches mentioned above.
Lacuna (where did the name come from?) is NICE sooo simple and clean, congrats. The only thing I have found so far is the text page and most likely the mail page can be moved around when pressing on a message, I think this is due to the frame for the messages being larger than the text size illustrated by the fact that characters are being lost off the right hand side.
On the negative, I dont think the bottom right button fits the rest of the theme and I think you should look to develop an alternative take on the taskbar. You have the graphical talent and now the xml experience to pull off something more original.
There are a few things I would do differently with this theme, perhaps I can have your permission to use the base to create my own take on it please

lol... but seriously... in Music a Lacuna is an extended silence in the piece.... and i keep thinking in my head if i had a commercial for this theme ... it would be a build up of classical symphony while a black background with fading words discribe things we look for in a simple theme.... and finally when the screen shows up and does some stuff a Lacuna is the only way of matching the visual appeal... with stunned silence..lol
i should be in the ad market buisness..

the text page has been such a pain in the a$$ i only set scrolling mode to Paged cause in Kinetic it moves around so easily from left to right... i cant figure out why...
i was gonna hold off releasing it until i fixed it... but after 26 different trys i gave up...
was actually hoping u could have a look at it for me...

couldn't agree more with the bottom button and the task bar... i am def. changing em..
but the whole idea of the sliding using the "pagebreaks" i am keeping..
best feature in TL

im kinda scarred cuase you will pwn me at it.... but okay...
can i ask a favor though...
could you release it after i get my 15 min. of fame...
Of course I will take a look, I am in "work" tonight and have been itching for a new project.
What I meant by the wallpaper is to set something up in the config to allow users to specify a wallpaper for the theme, not sure how this will work for a page broken theme though but it will be fun to find out.
and thanks for letting me abuse it once i'm done

yeah that sounds fine...
cause i was thinking it would be cool to take a widescreen picture ... split it up into like 4 pieces and give each page xml the next piece... so it looks like the wallpaper scrolls....
good work=)
i m going to try them on my x1 to check if they run smoothly
looking forward to ur next works
If you are a Fan of the Lacuna theme...
checkout the second post for two new Lacuna Boot Screens...

We are interested, and continuously we watch! Problems are noticed - we wait for progress!
Thanks for work!!!
lacuna lover
dear trekfan,
im so in love with lacuna. please continue developing it. its simplicity makes it special so stick to that. the scrolling wallpaper sounds great! i do agree with the posters above me regarding the improvements. also, it will be better if the link to the start menu can be customized to, let's say your favorite apps, or more pages. will love to test for more updates.
thanks!
