VIIII. Additional Notes

Included in this theme was a folder named "Additional Files", it is located under "\WisBar\Project Storm WAD2". Here you will find several different customized links for you to use as you like.

The following are included:

New Note

New Contact

New Appointment

New Task

New Word Document

New Excel Spreadsheet

Open SMS Inbox

Open Specific Inbox

Control Panel Shortcut

Default email link is set to open ActiveSync, to change, change the properties with an application like Resco Explorer and change "ActiveSync" to the name of your Inbox. This is for the WM default mail application.

A great thing about these shortcuts is they are linked to the default WM applications. This means for example, if you use PI8, and choose, "New Contact", it will open PI8, not the default application.

Users of FlexMail 4, see here, lots of great info:

When landscape is complete, those with a 320x320 screen can duplicate the theme files and use the copy for the second direction.

WAD2 Release 4 [Final]​

Not yet completed, just making of list of things that will be changed. Once WAD2 is updated, these will be posted.​

Each App Page will have shortcut to Page 1 [tabs will be shortcut to Main Apps Page]

More Apps Pages [maybe 5 vs. 3]

Lock Page

Tab Bar

Battery Icon [new]

Volume Button [changed, hopefully fixed]

Three Seperate Releases

1. Shortcuts/Speed Dial can be added without entering Author Mode [This means items can't be customized]

2. Shortcuts/Speed Dial must be entered through Author Mode [Allowing more customization to items]

3. Home Page Shortcuts will toggle docks [This means instead of launching email on tap, you will see a dock with inbox specific info, along with the shortcuts to open inboxes and create new emails]​

WisBar Advance 3: Release 1 [12/19/08]​

NO THIS ISN'T POSTED YET!

The idea for this theme is to match the WAD2 theme, and of course the Storm. At first, this may feel a bit odd to use, but after a day or it works great, for me at least. I have REMOVED the Start and OK/Close buttons. Don't worry, the functions are still there, just looks different. Now, you will have to set the order and functions yourself, the theme unfortunately only includes the graphics. Also, you do not have to set your taskbar like this, but I recommend it, because it will match the WAD2 theme, and looks awesome. There is a lot you can add to the taskbar, but by adding too many things, I feel you lose a "finger-friendly" taskbar. I like to have it simple, and display important info.

I recommend the following taskbar order:

Left Aliged:

Battery [Tap: Casc Start Menu, Hold: WAD2]

Window Title

Right Aligned:

System Notification [Tap/Hold: Show Notifications]

Clock: [Choose whatever]

Network [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]

Phone [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]

You'll notice I say use the Network and Phone Signal with the same functions. This way, it feels like you just have to tap the right corner to close, instead of tapping a small "X". Again, this is just a personal opinion.

Font looks best at 10pt.

Bottom taskbar:

I have included two different themes, one with a glossed bottom bar, and one with a flat black. I really like the way it looks glossed, but some may like the flat black instead. There isn't a lot of focus on the taskbars, more on the rest, like the buttons.
