***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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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!!

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?
The top title and the bottom share toolbars that come up on clicking an entry on blinkfeed take up significant space. We could just use the back button to get back and the share should be within a menu.
Has anyone been able to get rid of them?
I tried to decompile the Prism.apk to work something out but keep hitting some errors on decompile.
There are already some mods in the theme and app section of this forum

Hi All,
I have a HTC One and recently got the OTA update for Jellybean. On the bar at the bottom i have Phone, Messages, Email and camera but then when i go to my apps i have the same icons again. Seems a little pointless and it's wasting 4 spaces for other apps in the folders.
I also cant hide them or freeze them as it removes both of the icons.
Any ideas how to remove the duplicates and just have them on the bar at the bottom?
Also can i set the home button to go to the app screen and not Blink or the other home screen?
No and no to your questions as far as I know. Two of the unwelcome new features and other me. Personally I created a "useless" the folder and throw all those additional icons in.
Thanks for confirming, shame i should have read all of the notes on the upgrade.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you even look at your phone, know how to use search, or Google? I doubt it.
By selecting the 'custom' appdrawer, you can select which icons you want to display and folders etc.
Now, both of you go away and give yourself a good talking to :silly:
I have to be honest I don't have to many friends but I think you may have missed the point of the question or your skim readings are rubbish.
I have the camera, messages, emails and phone icon on the bar at the bottom And in the normal app area. The custom feature is brilliant but when I hide the camera icon it hides both of the icons.
Hey there! I'm totally new to android/KLWP and im struggling to edit a premade theme to fit my needs.
So the theme I'm trying to edit is Pinkmotion KLWP Theme its a 2 page setup, i want it to be a 4 page theme and its where the struggling begin. By default, there are "News feed" and "Callendar" scrolling through. I want to set 4 pages "App", "Sys", "Fav" and "Map" with the red line highlight catching up with them without being inverted, so just regular scrolling. App page should be empty (empty where the News feed originally is of course), so i can just add icon shortcuts in Nova later on. Sys page will contain some of the info about battery, wifi and perhaps other things from KLWP (in the place of Callendar, which i dont need). Fav page will be there for images with links to them, as for bookmarks. And about 4th page, the Map, its where I'd love to have a google map moved from another theme called Marl (its free in KLWP). So the satellite would cover a whole area inside on the grey backround, and the circle maps should be somewhere in the middle and to the right (for some reason, whenever i change anything in map items, the whole map thing loses its "on touch" effects. Also keep in mind that once you open the player (headset icon) and play the music, map circles will fade away, id like them to be allways there on page 4. And just for the record, the Marl theme shows the left arm from the map on the first page - I image it has to be edited somehow to not be visible once you are on pages 1-2-3, so the map will scroll from the right side and cover the whole area once you move to page 4, and only then. So thats about it, colors and other minor things should be in my range, so i dont mention it. I'd be really grateful for the edit and export and im willing to throw a small donation if needed. Cheers.
Hello Everyone,
I just got this phone about an hour ago. I am installing all my apps. It looks really nice. But I am unable to make folders in it. I have two questions:
1. How do I create folders? Not on the home screen, I found out how to do it. But after tapping on the menu. The screen where all the apps are listed.
2. How do I get rid of the white circular background on some of the app icons? It doesn't appear on all but on some of the apps. I have a Samsung phone as well, which has an option to get rid of it. But didn't see any similar setting on this phone.
Thanks in advance.
