Does this help?

Your theme looks good. There does seem to be a concerted amount of effort required to manipulate the themes that are around there.

I will have a try with yours.... :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nagboy:
quick wad rundown somebody?

- version 2 or 3? the 3 revision seems to have been around some time, why is the 2 still used?

- is there a development environtment on the pc side or is everything done in the blind and then tried out on the device?

- exactly how much can you customize?

- how are things animated, are these build in "transition" type animations or can you make animated gifs that are triggered?

- how fast is it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
- version 2 (there is no 3, that is wisbar advanced, not desktop)

- no dev environment from what i know, i just do it on my device but its harmless, u cant really mess up your device

- you can customize virtually everything, its kinda ridiculous how mch u can do :)

- yes built in transitions

- no idea about animated gifs, never tried

- it is very fast, a couple of the transitions leave some to be desired.

Really good. Downloaded the carbon fibre one last night and have been playing with them.

How do you change the order of the pages though?

Well done. Now I have this base one to play with, I might come up with some myself ;)

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
Page order is determined by the settings of the pages themselves. To get to the setting of the pages you need to tap/hold and go into author mode. Next tap/hold, select page, then select properties. Press the gestures button and ediit the gesture you want. For carbon fiber the navigation is mainly done by left to right mobements (forward) and right to left movements backward). So if you went into the fist page (not the locked page) and edited the slide right gesture and told it that the "switch to page" action was to go to "calendar" and saved, your first page woudl then be calendar.

Before doing this my only advice is to draw a map on paper of how youwant to navigation to be laid out. otherwise, you will find page transition going the wrong directions and end up missing a page altogether :) no go forth and be creative!!

ps. the applications, contacts and weather pages on carbon fiber have up and down gestures as well ;) hint hint. I am also releasing a version 1.1 of carbon fiber soon with some minor changes such as 7 day forcast and hoopefully a landscape view in later versions.

WAD 2 for WVGA 480 * 800 ?

Hi,

I taste a little bit the WAD 2 Software. Really only a little bit. Because of worth resulution for the touch HD. My interest is great, because the windows vista Style looks really cool. But I don´t know the funktions, and I never can test it if " NO RESULUTION FOR WVGA " is supported.

Please you Software-God´s and Programmers. Make it possible.

Than you got my heart. And also my money.

Thanks and found the other pages too!!

I used to have WAD in the start up folder but I deleted it as I didn't themes to use (that has no changed), now need to put it back in. There are a couple of things which seem to have changed but not sure if they are due to WAD2 or not.

I no longer have a 'end call' on the red button during a phone call and there is no picture in the 'window' for an image. The ID on the phone call might be me deselecting everything on S2U2. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to call:

1. The start button as if you are on the task bar?

2. The sound manager from within TF3D? Like the comm manager but for sounds?

3. The SMS and Email calls from within Messaging?

I want to amend the shortcuts which mallman has so kindly put in the carbon fibre theme to where I have created sub-folders (eg System Tools, Productivity, Entertainment) within the main Programs folder.

Thanks

WAD2 Vista theme mockup

I've been thinking about making a theme for WAD2 + Touch HD. What I really want is to make a bit of a "fresh" looking theme because TF3D and so much other themes/skins are so dark looking.

So I was thinking about making a Windows Vista style theme. I have not started development or anything but i made a little mockup of how it could look like. It would be a tabular interface with different tabs (Home / Phone / Media / Internet / Tasks+Messaging).

Attached is the mockup I made in Photoshop. Not even sure if everything i want is possible with WAD2, so i could use some feedback from experienced users and some comments on the design. The picture is abit blurry because of upload restrictions of this forum.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
actually it all looks perfectly possible. Just get creative with it and come back and ask questions if you get stumped.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] muzhik:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kenjari:
abats, this would be a very useful and attractive looking theme for WAD2. I would like to volunteer as a tester if you need one.

What you have up all seems very possible. Dont hesitate to ask help from artist over at lakeridgesoftware.com/forum. This looks like it could funtionallyy be similiar to the themes produced by LeSScro over at the forum.

Good luck.

Hi Guys

Just a quick note on WAD regarding the movement of items etc:

In Author Mode, click on [Page] and un-tick [Lock Items]; this allows you to everything with the stylus (I think...)

Well done Mallman for all your work on this. I was a big fan of Wisbar in the early days but when I first got my original HTC Touch I didn't really see a great need for all the mods. Now I have the 'HD' and after reading these threads I think I am becoming 'hooked' again :confused:. Oh well, here goes many hours of hacking and unproductivity on my other responsibilities ;)

"The Future's not what it used to be!"
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GryphonLeon:
First of all, thanks mallman for the excellent threads about WAD2. It got me interested because of your enthousiasm, the many features, themes etc so I decided to give it a try, installed it and added the Prot'n V2 theme featured in your first post.

I'm very impressed, it looks great and I'm really getting the hang of it. I like how everything can be customized easily. It didn't even take that long to figure out how to add pages, use gestures, move things around the screen etc.

One thing that I was wondering though, how do you guys run WAD2 on your phone? Initially, I thought WAD2 was an actual today plugin, which you can select instead of TouchFlo3D in the Settings > Today > Items in windows mobile. But, this is not the case. It should be seen as a normal application which you can run simultaneously with TouchFlo3D?

In this case, when I have TouchFlo3D enabled and run WAD2, I press the home button and it closes WAD2 and returns to the TouchFlo3D home screen. WAD2 doesn't appear in the HTC taskbar icon, so it's really closed. Of course, this is not what I want. If I run WAD2, I really want it to be my today screen so when I press the home button, I want to go to the home screen of WAD2. Then, when I choose "Quit" in the WAD2 context menu, I should return to TouchFlo3D. How do you guys run this? Am I missing something?

Also, when I run WAD2, the battery icon dissapears and the HTC taskbar icon as well.

A couple of beginner questions :) I'm really getting hooked on this thing, but I need to tackle these problems.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
your first question is an easy one, i do not run TF3D :) My home button only makes the start menu visable so I dont really have your problem. I think you can prevent wad2 from closing when you hit the home key by making it a priority in the task manager. Someone please confirm that.

As far as your battery icon problem, not sure what you mean. Wad2 has the abiluity to create a meter and you can create a battery meter. Again, I hide the taskbar so all i se eon my screen is wad2. Are you saying that you keep the taskbar visable and your battery disappears then?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheNose:
Interesting stuff. I'm really less and less into TF3D as it is too limited or just is too buggy in its features. WAD2 seems promising!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GryphonLeon:
Yes, I have the taskbar visable, see the attached screenshot. At the very top-right, you see a black space. That's where the HTC taskmanager icon should be normally. Then, between the taskmanager icon and the speaker icon, there should be the battery icon, but it just disappeared.

Because I've only played with WAD2 for an hour or two, I kinda liked having my taskbar visible because of the start menu etc. But no problem, I will just disable the taskbar like you and keep it fullscreen.

I'll disable TouchFlo 3D as well from now on..and give your iphone theme a go!

Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
woohooo, give ti a go. hmmm, i have no idea about the icons. Let me try to show mine and see what I see
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
just verified my battery icon and task manager are showing fine. Wish I could be of more help but I dont know whats wrong. I have the alternate colored icons installed for battery and such so maybe that is helping my situation.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GryphonLeon:
No problem, thanks for checking! It looks like WAD2 has much more battery meter features/settings anyway, so I'll probably won't miss it :)

Too bad that TouchFlo weather isn't a standalone app, I would love to incorporate it into my current WAD theme. Anyway, thanks again for your help, I'm downloading the iphone theme as we speak :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
i always use the was 1.x meters so let me know if you find a way to make the others work. Not sure what I do wrong with those but there are 3 different types of each meter.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GryphonLeon:
The Prot'n V2 theme has a great example of a battery meter in the lock screen. I took it from there and added it to my home screen, it's perfect! See the attached file.

You need 3 images. One for when it's charging, 1 image that shows an empty battery icon and 1 image that shows a full battery icon.

Then, in the layout for the WAD2.x battery meter:

- Background: empty battery image

- Overlay: full battery image

- Charging: charging battery image

Is that what you were looking for? If you need further help, let me know!

PS, thanks for the MyMobile tip, a great app in combination with WAD2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:

http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14669

and converting it to WVGA. Should be ready in a day or so; this theme doesn't allow dragging/moving by stylus so it is taking a little longer. The titles are images which are in french which will need to be converted too.

I still need to find the calls for:

1. Messaging to the SMS folder

2. Messaging to the current email folder

3. Is there a call to show the backlight like the SPB Mobile Shell tool?

Converting themes

Quick question, I have seen a theme i like - (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14477)

It is QVGA and i want to convert it to WVGA. Is there a big process in this or is it just a case of downloading and installing the QVGA version and dragging the icons about?

In a couple of weeks my office at home will be up and running again so i can get stuck into this "work" in peace and quite shortly :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] abats:
From my experience the QVGA themes are pretty unusable. You could 'rip' the graphics and build your own WVGA them.

But then again the graphics are pretty low resolution because of the lower resolution the QVGA device supports.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
agreed, this is the biggest problem. Try to replace all the graphics if you are going to do it. But then again, it is probably easier to just start from scratch and copy it :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheNose:
I'm gonna start with a blank sheet soon and try to make my own custom theme. When I'm done the export function should make it possible to share it with the community right? Only problem is then that I use a custom rom so a lot of links aren't pointing to the standard dir's. :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
exporting will not do the job. you need to package up everything in your themes\<name of theme> folder and all graphics used. you will need to let the community know where to save the graphics so the are in the same location as on your device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheNose:
Hmmm not quite clear to me yet, but I've seen some good posts at the WAD2 forums so I'll be fine. I've tried lots of shells now (Touchflo3d, winterface, spb mobile shell) and none fits my simple "clean" needs. WAD2 should do the trick then.

Any word on mem use of WAD2 with a big theme installed? Is it smaller then Touchflo3d?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
not sure what mine was with just tf3d but with WAD2 I am running at 38% with a pretty large theme with lots of docks :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheNose:
With Touchflo (and Dutty custom rom, I read somewhere that you use the Dutty roms as well ;) ) I was @ 42% usually. :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheNose:
Nope, no difference at all. :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GryphonLeon:
Well, that grey line is always there..it's not related to WAD2. Disable TouchFlo3D, keep your current HTC Black theme and go to the windows mobile today screen, you'll see the same grey line.

Not sure if you can easily remove it. Try this

WisBar Advance Desktop 2.x seems like very powerful and allow for many customization. So, i also thinking to stick to this and give up the TouchFlo 3D. but , before that, i got few question to ask here:

1. Where i should install the WisBar Advance Desktop 2.x? In memory card or device memory?

2. How is this performance? faster than touchFLO 3D?

3. Will it eat a lot RAM just like touchFLO 3D?

4. Is it a need to disable the touchFLO 3D when we using WisBar Advance Desktop?

thanks in advance..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
Goo move!!! :)

1. I read somewhere to do it to internal memory but not sure why. i did and it works great

2 and 3. performance is outstanding as far as I can tell, mine runs great and memory is at 37%

4. no but you will want too eventually since it is much better :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheNose:
This topic is going very well! Thx Mallman for the WAD2 promotion in the blackstone forums. I nearly needed to hardreset when I was fooling around with the plugins and selected touchflo3d as a plugin for WAD2. Lol that didn't work! I've cleaned up my device now so I'm looking @ a standard today screen since I've totally given up on touchflo 3d. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexwai:
hi mallman,

thanks for your prompt replied.

few question again..:o

1. how big is it if i install in internal memory? is it eat up a lot memory?

2. if we disable the touchflo 3D, is it mean that WisBar Advance Desktop will become our today screen?

3. if we didn't disable the touchflo, we still can access to WisBar Advance Desktop by just click on this just as other program, right?

:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
1. minus the themes folder (because I have a ton of themes in there) the folder on internal storage is 2.3mb

2. no and yes. No because it isnt a today screen plugin, yes because it will be seen all the time

3. yes and the home button on the HD would take you back to tf3d
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexwai:
1. do you mean that the themes folder also need to put in the internal storage? i believe theme will eat up a lot of memory, since so many nice themes here...:D

2. if we already disabled the touchflo, when we wake up the phone, will we see WisBar Advance Desktop or just a blank today screen? if using touchflo, we will see touchflo when we wake up the phone.

3. meaning that WisBar Advance Desktop is working about same as SPB Mobile Shell? i not sure u tried before or not, just asking...:D..i tried to install SPB mobile Shell before, but seems like not fully compatible with HD yet. :o
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Metalboz:
I have noticed that the battery drain using WAD2 is quite high. Last night i went to sleep and the phone was 51% charged, 8 hours later my phone was flat and off (this meant i was late for work as my phone is also my alarm :o) WAD2 and Gyrator 2 were the only programs running.

Can anyone else confirm the battery drain from WAD2?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexwai:
i also wanna know, anyone can confirm before i switch to this.. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
1. not the icons and such, just the text files and such that run the themes is all that is in the themes folder. doesnt take up uch space at all. Just curious, what are you guys reserving a bunch of space on your internal memory for???

2. WAD2 unless you dont want too. there is a setting for that
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
i havent seen this but i have it checking my email every 5 minutes and i dont turn the screen off (dims but not off) unless I do it manually. I know I had about 75% batter last night and just went to be and 8 hours later I was still powered up. I am at 83% now so will just keep an eye on it and see. There is also a low memory mode which I do not use. No idea what the difference is
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexwai:
thanks for your reply.

i just curious how many memory space it will eat up if i have many many different theme on the device memory, since the device memory is not very big.:D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
Not sure either because sometimes I have major issues with battery life. Not sure if it is S2U2 though so I will be uninstalling that and seeing what comes next.

I have also found that WAD2 sometimes closes of it's own accord meaning I have the WM today page with only a desktop (I have nothing selected in the today settings) and have to manually restart WAD2.

The theme I have been playing with is nearly sorted, just need to change some of the icons from French to English and change a couple of icons of yours mallman to reflect what I am using them for!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
it closes on me on rare occasions as well. Havent done any research on their site to determine why, I just tap and restart it :-) Doesnt happen very much to me. As far as S2u2 , I dont run that so maybe that is the difference.

Battery Life and closing

One thing which can affect battery life and freezing, crashing, other odd behaviour is the SD card. I have my theme files (incuding my modded mallman's iphone theme!) on the SD card which I think is usual even if you have WAD itself installed to internal memory. I have had two SD cards fail and just before they failed I noticed battery drain and odd things happening to WAD, including freezing, closing itself and so on. Changed to a new card and the problems disappeared.
