when I download the Wisbar.zip file the Status Dock does not seem to come, and no icons are visible on the top of the screen. I had it once, but for some reason I can no longer locate it. Please help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
If my memory serves me correct, I think I just used a black area at 50% opacity for that dock.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jminor4326:
Thanks for responding. The color or opacity of the background is not the problem. What I see as the problem is the Status Dock is not included inside the Wisbar.zip after I download it. I'm not sure if the Status Dock should be in the R2 folder or the WAD folder, but it's not in either. That Dock and another one (I forgot the name) I think used to exist in the same directory, but not any longer. When I'm in Author Mode in Storm, the Dock is indicated when I bring up properties, yet the dock is not in any of the directories (like it used to be). It seems like when I download it onto my computer (both work and home) or directly to my phone it goes missing?? doesn't seem right. I have been testing the new Beta WAD and the Status Dock and all the items showed just one time - then never again. I can see how the Beta WAD might have screwed or deleted the Status Dock, I hear docks are being treated slightly differently, but it should be included in the download. What I'm most interested in is the way all of the meters and notifications are 'connected'. I don't know enough about getting all the status items working and I wanted to see how you laid it out. I downloaded Wisbar.zip - is that correct? is it complete and not missing anything; in which directory are the Docks stored? Is there a way to determine the contents of the Status Dock, once I get one? For whatever reason I think I need the Status Dock and its contents (or whatever files make it work). Can you please help. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
WAD2 just gained two really great features and some bug fixes. Shortly after WAD2 is completed I should be done with the theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Icons complete for the most part, need to do selected quick. WMP layout needs to be tweaked. The biggest parts are complete :D. After compiling the WAD2 theme, WA3 will be the only thing left to complete. Hopefully done tonight!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DurKNesS:
Thanks for keeping us those that are foaming for this theme updated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakub_w:
looks awesome!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Thanks! More pics:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] omair2005:
this looks very nice. can't wait for the release
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
Hurry up and release this!!!! Do you have and estimated release date?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Hopefully soon, I'm just touching up a few things. But I probably won't release until a few bugs are worked out with WAD2. If it's released and WAD2 isn't fixed, then the theme could get a little ruined.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
looks amazing!

i just feel like if i use it.. i am going to expect my screen to click.. but it WONT!

lets see someone recreate that for WM :D..

great work despite the fact that it makes me lust more
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mike21pr:
doesnt it already do that??? i have the soft screen tap sounds enabled in my settings and they pretty much click to me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Razorfold:
Would a landscape version be possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
This looks AWESOME! Keep up the good work!

A landscape version would be possible, but S2P doesn't work in landscape from my experience. Also some work at the WAD2 skin would be required.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Yes there will be a landscape mode.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Razorfold:
Awesome!

Great job so far too!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atoz350:
Yes, enable soft screen tap sounds in Settings/ Sounds and Notifications/ Sounds tab.

Install, Snailslug's Touchresponse .cab and set the vibrate time to 10ms.

There is your screen click.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
I thought on the storm, it was a physical click, like a hardware button or a keyboard. I guess I was wrong. lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eirikr88:
the storm is a physical clicker mounted under the screen. you wont ever get the full effect, of course from what i've read from reviews, alot of people get annoyed by the click lol.

BTW, Great work so far! I will be trying this on my Mogul when it gets finished!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] techkills:
this is sexyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pauljamal24:
omg . i almost FAINTED when i saw this thread !!

it looks gorgeous . plz let me know a release date or sumthin .

this is gonna make my touch look even hotter lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Breathe in........and breathe out..........

Should be released soon, I'm 90% complete. Still waiting on WAD2 to be fixed, if it's not fixed soon, then I will do a "pre-release" based on an earlier version of WAD2, but it will lose some of the functions I plan to include. WAD2 should have a fix out tommorrow, so let's cross our fingers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dewhut:
this looks amazing...it looks so nice i'm willing to ditch manila2d for it. can you release a version with AT&T Wireless on it? thanks and keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oscarbum:
I don't know how familiar you are with WAD2, but adding the logos that you can get for the Fuze theme of M2D can be added to the theme in about 30 seconds. It's REAL easy with WAD2. And you can place it wherever you like.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
All text you see will depend on your device, so it will display your carrier name and info.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dewhut:
I haven't messed with WAD and WBA since my old Wizard but they've made a lot of changes since then. I'll read up on it before this theme is released. Thanks for the info.

cool thanks! any idea when it'll be released? this deserves to be stickied!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oscarbum:
Drumming fingers. Can't wait!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scorchd5:
is it done yet??? i cant wait and btw nice job so far
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
As much as I want this to be released soon... I say that you take your time and release it when it's complete with no bugs...

But you know... I could always beta test.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
Hi Champ

Looks good i cant wait to try it. I am sure you are busy but is there any chance you could do maching skins for omega-1 1calc, G Alarm, and thumbcal from thumbapps. or if you nnow of better products than thease to try?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I've been working on G-Alarm, and I'll think about ThumbCal. But seems the longer I wait for WAD2, the more I can do :D!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
thanks Champ your a star i will send you a little something for all your hard work what about 1-Calc do you use that at all i like it because i find the converter very handy or do you know of any other calc/unit converters that are worth trying?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Csquared:
Looking forward to this. I have been working on a Storm skin for PhoneAlarm for a little while but yours looks a lot better. Creating the icons is tough.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
My original plan was to have a few sets of grids per shortcut dock. One was for the icons,the other for text, so everything was aligned properly. To make changing the shortcuts easier, I'm removing the text fields. You can easily add them to the shortcuts in the options, but they will not be aligned.

Also, I plan to keep the weather icons set at default. If you have HTC Home installed, I suggest using them.

I'll draw up a pic here soon with the setup.

Still waiting for bugs to be fixed. Sorry for the delay, but I'm sure those of you who use WAD2 and have created themes understand the problems. Hopefully the next release, which should be VERY soon, will fix these so I can release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I was using 1-calc lite, but switched to Spb Calc since it was easy to skin. There is a free converter I used to use, I just need to search for it. It was a pretty basic converter, but worked perfectly. It used standard buttons, so the WA3 theme should take care of that.

EDIT: Here it is, ConverteCE:

http://freewareppc.com/calculator/converterce.shtml
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I'm just as anxious to relase as you all are to use this. So, should I release now as is, which will have all but the Tab bar fetaure, used for the Media page, and the slider feature, used as a screen lock.

Post, or vote.

I am 80% finished, just touching up WMP and adding icons to Resco Explorer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oscarbum:
Well, I guess since I don't use WMP or Resco Explorer, I give a resounding hellz yeah!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Csquared:
I would release
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
If you're so close to be done, wait and fix the bugs first then release.

If you release now, people will come back here and post their problems and such
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
That's why I want to hold off, but if I remove the slider and tab bar, everything should work properly. Plus I am including a help file, which will be preset in the theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LilGBlood:
I agree... Thats what other people do, + there is such thing as updates. :P

I say releasee itttttttt! XD
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I'm compiling now, I'll release QVGA portrait tonite. I'll need someone to convert to VGA, since I don't have a device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Release 1 up!!!!!!!!!!!!

See post 1 for attachment. Simply extract and drop to the root ["\"] of your device. I know the folder is named "WisBar", it is for a reason.

Check it out, if you have any questions, post away :D!

I'm goin to sleep now. Everything is pretty simple, just a lot of movement. I'll explain more tomorrow.

EDIT: See post 2 for some details.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Royals:
the theme is not showing up....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Ohhh!

I forgot to mention a big step. You should have the ".wisbar" file, open that in your explorer, and when it asks where to install, select "\WisBar". Then search for it and it will be imported.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
i have a bit of a problem i added the contacts launch a program to the button i added it to the end of your list of hide and show docks but when i tap on the button once the shortcut page comes up as you said but it then launches the contacts straight away with out a second tap same for messaging and sms what am i doing wrong
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
The way the second tap works is, there are transparent docks that appear, which is the need for the long list of show/hide. Tap once on the contacts to bring up the speed dial, then tap and hold the contacts icon, which is really the transparent dock, and add the shortcut. Hope its not too confusing, it will be fixed shortly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Royals:
there isnt a 50x50 square in the top left of my screen
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
Very Nice Champ! I'll give it a go later and give you some feedback!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Thanks! Sadly, this initial release was a bit sloppy, next will be much better.

For everyone-

I'm going to replace the weather icon in the top dock with a volume icon, and place a weather icon in the bottom dock.

For now Messaging, SMS, Contacts, Calendar, Browser, and Media are all set in stone. The other two are up to you, but would you like the weather icon changed?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
yep i got it now the invisable dock was a bit small so i made it a bit biger an all is fine. as for the weather. i would like you to move it to the bottom or at least somewhere else and replace it with a volume button. now for the good bit if you can do it, can you make the volume button change as you have silent vibrate or normal and when you click it could it open up some sort of dock to change from silent vibrate and normal or even better when you click it could the button give you options to change to presets in eithe spb phonesuite or phoneweaver if you understand what i mean.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
just sent you $20 to help you with all the work i keep asking you to do:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
The icon will be live to change according to the volume status, and I can have it launch the built in profile change from WAD, but can't integrate with anything else. I guess technically it can launch to the spb phone suite control panel settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
hi again sorry next problem i added a button to aplacations no problem and it was to launch word this works fine but when i close word i end up with a black screen with just the title bar at the top no app dock any more so i swipe down to return to home and now every time i touch the center to go to apps i just have the black page with no dock.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ramsfan_Jim:
Do I take it you have to buy Wisbar in order to get the '.wisbar' file to install this theme?

Cheers,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
My next release will put you back where you left off, but for now, tapping the blank area will return you to the main apps page.

Yes WisBar Advance Desktop 2 is required for this theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
What about WAD 3? Will it work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
JT, this is great. sorry i didn't have time to pitch in because i'm swamped. i tried your skin and it looks really really good. i don't have time to read all the comments but i'm sure you know about some bugs... and the lack of the notification bar..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
I believe its working fine for me so far.

Could you please share your background? Not the plane one, the blue one with the white line... Thanks

Also, I'm having trouble finding the 50x50 square. Top left hm..... still lookin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Thank you very much for the supprt!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
If you are reffering to WA3, I'll release shortly, I just wanted to touch it up a bit.

What is wrong with the notifications bar?

The square is in the top left of the blank space in the middle. I'm not sure if the export removed it as displaying by default, so you may want to temp set a button to show it, or wait just a bit for the next release.

I'll add a few wallpapers in the next package. The really great thing about this theme is that any wallpaper displays perfect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agentmikeyd:
can't figure out to install ???

I extracted the wisbar files to the root directory

I then "scan" for themes but the theme is never found ?

help !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] churka:
I'll just wait for the next release. I'm going to hard reset this weekend and I'm going to be using this as my new setup!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lcohen999:
I'd love to try this..

how 320x320 compatible is it? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] refthemc:
Good job Champ, but im keeping my Vogue haha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonestones:
:)Very ipressive!!!Awesome job.Heres a mod I did with the extra icons&text.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scorchd5:
hey guys im kind of new to this can anyone please post a step by step procedure on how to successfully install this theme. i don't know if i need some apps before i can apply this theme. srry im a noob:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
The only app you need to purchase is WisBar Advance Desktop 2.

www.lakeridgesoftware.com
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I'm rebuilding the theme now, should be up soon!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
RELEASE 2 UP!!!!!!!!!

Double-Tap in the trash :D!

Completely redrawn.

This is a huge improvement, see post 1 for download, 2 for details!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluey09:
hi ,

great work there dude ... but can u also release an omnia compatible version please please :D

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
It should work, just align all the grids to the bottom, if you like, you can even add an additional row to each.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] phantomy2g:
tried to install just came out all black with colored squares... and wuts the ".wisbar" file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
That is a WAD2 theme file. But you don't need to worry about that anymore, the new release is up, download the new wisbar attachment and follow the steps in post 2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] phantomy2g:
thanks champ but i did download release 2 and installed accordingly... theme shows up but when i set it as portrait theme under settings it just comes out all black with colored sqaures and ATT at the top???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
That's odd, try restarting WAD2. I've successfully duplicated the theme on my Touch, works perfect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gogorob:
same thing with me, however first version showed up fine...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dvdtech:
Hello Champ,

I tried to release two, to me has an behaviour strange:

I have Wm 6.1 italian language(original) on cruise phone

I've created one directory in root to the phone calle Wisbar

i've Copied into Wisbar directory : Project Storm WAD2 (directory)

i've created Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes on my phone and copy Project Storm R2 directory.

In italian language "Program files" is "programmi".

I tried with new theme with wad2 search and selected portrait for Strom, but not work ok.

I can not see anything in top bar (signal, battery, basic info, etc.) and trying to enter the contacts or applications nothing happens.

Something wrong?

thank's

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] caballero600:
I had that problem, solved restarting theme. I don't know why but the topbar first time was empty.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Alright, so you got it to work? I hope it works this way, because everytime I have tried to export the theme, it comes back mixed around.

For those with different languages:

The "\WisBar" directory must remain the same, this hlds all of the graphic files used. The theme can be put in the theme folder and should work fine.

I'll keep trying to export to see if I get a good copy of the file.

Those that have it working right, please post what yuo did. But, to all having troubles, be sure to restart WAD2 before applying this theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluey09:
HI,

Is it possible to change the default tabs on main screen .. i want to change the weather tab and replace with tools tab ... HELP PLEASE

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tfm426:
Hi Champ

do you have any plans for a skin for any of the dialer programs or do you have your own dialer to match the theam?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluey09:
hi bro ,

Thanks for this wonderful theme .. ive managed to re position grids etc on my omnia .. just one problem i cant manage to reposition the text for application folder , games etc etc :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
I have only ever done dialers for the Touch CDMA, so I'll have to ask around to make sure it works for all. But it would look like the storm.

What exactly is the problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LilGBlood:
I have a problem JT.

Your storm theme is perfect. Everything works, had no problem resizing the floating dock, etc.

Now, the problem is when I click on the apps dock, that takes me to the apps, I get a black page with just the top bar. I have read around this thread but didn't find the solution. I deleted and reimported the theme about 7 times, I also hard reset and everything. It didn't work. I also have a question. I don't have a \wisbar folder. I am using Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2.

Thanks,

GBlood.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
The "\WisBar" folder is one you need to create. I personally have this at the root of my device for easier access. Once I post the WA3 theme, the contents of that will go there as well. I use that folder as the "resource" folder for all my graphics.

Exporting the theme originally destroyed the theme, so the manual alternative was the best way to keep it working. So, to make sure it all works, you must have that folder to work. All the images look for the folders by directory.

Just create the "WisBar" folder at the root, and drop the "Project Storm WAD2 Theme" folder in it. Then restart WAD2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LilGBlood:
Oh wow. I'm an idiot. I overlooked that. Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
No prob, I'm just glad it works for ya :D!

I just keep checking the WAD2 forums for an update so I can further improve the theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Royals:
hey...what different with the new release
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Much faster

Volume Icon

All weather data avail

Nothing missing!

The first release was exported, which mixed up everything. I rebuilt the theme, made a lot of adjustments, and posted the actual files, plus some.

Trust me, use this instead.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lbhocky19:
QQ

is this a program which can be toggled off in today options? or does it have to uninstall or soft reset or what to go back to normal?
