WisBar Advance Desktop 2: Release 3 [12/19/08]​

This is ridiculous!! The theme works great, but I can't seem to get it to ya'll right! WTF! Anyways, go back to the 2nd release, if you never downloaded the third, disregard this. Instructions changed.​

For now, the theme will remain as is. Once the update to WAD2 is complete and working, I will rebuild the theme with two extra features, and to make sure there is no error in the theme with the newer version. So, in the meantime, everything works, but if you have any request for the final release, let me know! Enjoy!​

Release 3 added:

Those without Audio Manager installed were unable to launch the theme, shortcut was deleted

Added text to application tabs

Added Video Recorder Page

Removed Voice Recorder shortcut, not all may have, similar to Audio Manager​

I. How do I apply the theme?

1. Download the attachment "WisBar.zip"

2. Extract to the root, "\", of your device

For those that already have this folder from the last release, I suggest creating a new, blank WAD2 theme, set it as your default, quit WAD, then delete the ENTIRE WisBar folder from your device. Don't worry, all the same files plus more are included.​

3. In the "WisBar" folder you'll have two folders, "Project Storm R2", and "Project Storm WAD2"

Move the "Project Storm R2" folder to "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes". Leave the other folder in the "WisBar" folder. These files MUST be in these locations to work! Don't worry about memory, sizes are small and it is best to have these on the device.

The reason for the "WisBar" folder is simple, I use this as my general folder for all WisBar items, graphics and others. This includes the WA3 theme.
​

4. Open WAD2

Choose Settings, then "Change Theme". If you do not see "Project Storm R2" in the list, choose the option to "Scan for Themes", and it should then appear. Select the theme, and apply!​

II. On with the Show!

I've tried to use all available possibilities with WAD2, simply to have a better theme, and to use it for what it's worth. For those that used the first release, forget it even existed! This one is MUCH MUCH better. If you are new to WAD2, you will be in for a surprise! There is a lot to it, but once you understand it better, the easier all of this will make sense.

WAD2 is simply a "Virtual Desktop", it allows you to place almost any item you would like anywhere on the screen, with any number of screens. This is why this application is the best for this theme. If you have questions, feel free to ask here, we are all here to help.

For starters, at anytime you can swipe down to return home. Also, all shortcuts use default WM applications, this basically means opening contacts will launch iContact, if that's what you have installed.

III. Home Page

This your first page. Everything you need is here. At the top is the "Status Dock", and the bottom are your "General Shortcuts"

The Status Dock includes:

Live Battery Meter

Live Volume Status [Opens Volume Profile Manager]

Your Carrier Name

Live Phone Signal Strength

Bluetooth Status [Toggles BT power]

Data Connection Status

Wi-Fi status [Tapping toggles Wi-Fi power]

Clock [Opens Clock Page]

Long Date

The space below the date is used for the following notifications, only displayed when needed:

Missed Calls [Missed Call List]

Voicemails [Calls VM, you will need to change! Edit the script to call your own VM]

Emails [Opens Email Inbox, ActiveSync by default]

SMS [Opens SMS Inbox]

MMS [Opens SMS Inbox]

The General Shortcuts:

Messaging [Messaging Center]

SMS [SMS Inbox]

Contacts [Toggles Speed Dial Dock, shortcut to Contacts included]

Calendar [Opens Agenda Page]

Browser [Toggles Web Favorites Dock, PIE preset]

Media [Opens Media Page]

Weather Icon [Opens Weather Page, displays Home info]

Maps [Change to what you like]

IV. Applications Page

Like before, tapping the middle, blank part of the screen will open the applications page. This is fixed, so you don't need to look for it! At first, you're brought to the main applications page.

The bottom four are preset to:

Applications [Opens Page 1/3]

IM Apps [1 Page Only]

Games [Opens Page 1/2]

Tools [1 Page Only, Control Panel preset included]

The top two rows can be customized to launch your eight favorite applications.

To change between pages, swipe left/right, but this does not apply to the Main Applicaiotns Page.

ALL grids are set to "Object Grids". This means you can add more than shortcuts!

V. Media Page

This is really just a quick build. Once WAD2 is updated, the tab bar feature will be added here. Those who are unaware of this feature, it is similar to the tab bar of M2D.

Four buttons, these only change page, the large icons are the shortcuts:

Music [Audio Manager]

Photos [Photos & Videos]

Videos [WMP]

Voice [HTC Voice Recorder]

I used to have a second row for more, but I didn't like the way it looked, plus I'm sure majority of us use one general application for each media category. To change, just edit the button to launch the app of your choice.

VI. Weather Page

Fairly simple, forecast for days 1-4 on left, 5-8 on right. All general data is displayed in the middle. All icons and data are for Multiple Cities! This means the data for everything will update when you change the active city. The right arrow chooses the next city, left chooses prev, and maps brings you to a new blank screen. On the blank images page, just add a weather image of your choice.

Tapping the large weather icon will update the info.

VII. Agenda

Full screen agenda page, tapping anywhere on the agenda opens the calendar. Top left notifier displays remaining appt + all day, opens calendar, top right shows due today tasks + overdue, open tasks.

If you use PB or Diary, simply delete the agenda and add the plugin.

VIII. Clock Page

Simple clock page, arrows switch between digital and analog. If you have HTC Home installed, I suggest changing the digital clock to a HTC home style clock, just be sure to choose the location of the images! Alarm clock opens the default alarm application. This page also acts as a screen saver. On sync, this page will open, when done the home page will open.
