thank you very much!! Lakeridge has their own forums about the software but from what I gather on there it only puts together what is in the themes folder under the program installation. The icons still have to be placed. It also cant take into consideration the language of your ROM etc etc etc. Basically installing a theme is just copying folders to the right location. It is only 2 folders so it isnt really that involved at all. I would love to see the exporting and importing work but it just doesnt. At least to my knowledge.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
AFAIK, there is no reason why you can't have your icons folder inside the theme folder. That is how the ActuProColor theme which I modified to WVGA is configured. Then all you need to do is copy and extract into one folder.

Any reason you put the icons onto the SD card Mike, storage space?

Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] abats:
I would actually say it would be better to not have icons on your storage card. Atleast if i connect my device to my computer i often use the "storage card" option and when i use this the storage card is not available for my device. And i guess that could cause issues with icon updating?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
of course putting them on internal storage will work but space is hard to come by in there. Especially when you start adding sounds and all that good stuff to the themes. If you like you can copy the icons folder over to internal storage and just change the icons one by one to point to those internal storage icons. I prefer mine on the card
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
i am experimenting wiht the icons on the internal storage. I will try and do exports and such and report back. Maybe if the icons ar ein the actual theme folder they will export. not sure
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
just a quick update. i moved a very simple theme i have and linked all icons to a foler I moved to the themes folder on internal storage and the export has been running a loooong time. I get the feeling the export isnt even going to work if you put icons in the theme folder but I will let you all know if it ever finishes.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] abats:
Sounds odd with the export. I will try to read up on it over on the lakeridge fora.

Also i finally put a WWE rom on my HD so I will start a theme aswell. Did not really want to start it with my Dutch rom as i knew i would want to get a good WWE rom eventualy plus it's anoying for others that would want to install the theme.

Keep up the good work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
excellent, report back with what you find. ALso, i soft reset, no reason an export should take 40 minutes so I assume it was not going to work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Frustrating

Hey Mallman, with your background in WAD have you ran into icons randomly missing? After installing your theme and spending many hours playing with and customizing it to fit my programs and needs, I switched back to the main page (your page) and the icons on the right drop down menu were gone...can't get them back :mad:

Just wondering if you've ran into this and if you know of a way to get them back without having to go through and set it all up again :confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
Yes. I have found that if I place a weather icon on a dock that slides I will have a "missing" icon when I hide and show the dock. However, the icon isnt actually missing because I can tap/hold where it is supposed to be and it lets be do properties etc on the icon. I can get that icon to show again if I soft reset or close and open wisbar but I refuse to do that so I removed the weather icon from the vista theme sidebar for that very reason

Which theme are you referring too?

Wisbar is software and it gets updates and bug fixes so hopefully they continue. All of us that really enjoy it and see its potential should also become more active on the lakeridge forums and get things like this addressed :)

*** edit*** haha how stupid am I???? This is the vista theme thread so you are obviously talking about the vista theme.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Lol, ya its your theme. I didn't put a weather icon on the slide panel, I just changed a couple of the icons that were already there with some diferent ones.

I've been a long time user of WA3 and the support for that sotware is phenominal! Lets hope its the same for WAD. I love what WAD can do.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:

Thanks again Mallman for your beautiful work with this theme, I'm loving it!

This is what I've done with it :cool:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] homola:
problem

hello mallman...i cant install that theme..i have Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2 installed everything copied as you wrote but i cant find change theme button in that program...can you please help me with it? thanks a lot man
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
go to settings by touching and holding anywhere on the screen

Select the "General" tab

Select "Change Theme"

not sure how else to say it :) what do you see when youa re trying these steps?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
You have to make sure you are in "Author Mode" first. You do this by taping and holding anywhere on the screen and a menu will pop up, choose author mode.

Then you tap and hold again anywhere on the screen and choose settings with the menu that pops up.

Once there you will see "change theme" tab, click on that. You should see Mallman_Vista_Theme as an option. Choose that theme then click the menu tab at bottom right. Set Mallmans theme as the "Portrait Theme and hit apply.

Hope this helps! :cool:

But still the same problem can u please help me
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] marktang:
it seems pretty hard to use this theme. i cant select probably with the icons. i always tend to move it instead.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spyqu:
Yes I can't see the icons
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
a folder is named wrong or in the wrong place. that is all it can be
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
??? dont use the theme in author mode :) Also, you can go into author mode, tap/hold and select page>lock items and they will not move. Next version I make will have all pages locked to avoid you having to know how to use WAD2 to lock them instead.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spyqu:
Ok I did a new instal now on my internal device and put the Mallman_Vista_Theme folder in themes so can u tell me there I put the Mallman_Vista folder??

Thx 4 your help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
the location is in the install instructions...

\storage card\WAD_Icons\MALLMAN\Mallman_Vista

all icons go in there. If you do not have a "Storage card" folder you will have to create it. english roms have the "storage card" folder by default and it is a shortcut to their microsd card. If you do not have an english ROM you will have to create a "storage card" folder in the root of your internal storage (not in the root of the microsd card). Until lakeridge comes out with an alternative for this then all epople without the language that the rom was built on will have to do this. Had I built this on a french rom my storage card (microsd) would be in french
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spyqu:
Aha ok that's the problem I'm using a Dutch device thx

Super thx it's works
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
no worries. I am building in a much better FAQ at www.swampthing.net for all future releases as well so if you like WAD2 keep an eye on that site. Real life work slowing me down right now :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] marktang:
ya that would be great. i will wait for your next one instead. this theme is good but i dont have alot of knowledge on WAD2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
i have posted the updated theme now. www.swampthing.net
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] daniel33:
salut mallman, je crois que tu es Français ,alors je parle la même langue.

voilà mon problème. j'ai installé exactement comme tu as dit, sur mon HD.

sur "mon appareil" et non le stockage interne, j'ai crée un dossier " storage card" et mis les icones dedans en suivant exactement le chemin que tu as donné.

le thème, je l'ai mis dans wishbar advance desktop.

je le vois bien quand je veux changer de thèmes, mais quand je fais appliquer, j'ai l'image de fond et rien d'autre !! j'ai regardé 100 fois les dossiers pour vérifier si tout était correct, mais rien ne cloche !! je ne comprends pas .

peux-tu m'aider, j'ai sûrement du oublier quelque chose.

merci
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
I dont speak French :) But here is what google translate told me

"

mallman salvation, I think you're French, so I speak the same language.

that's my problem. I installed exactly as you said, on my HD.

on my device "and not the internal storage, I created a folder" storage card "and put the icons in following exactly the path that you gave.

the theme, I put it in advance wishbar desktop.

I can see it when I want to change themes, but when I applied, I have the background image and nothing else! I looked at 100 times the records to check if everything was okay, but nothing wrong! I do not understand.

can you help me, I surely miss something.

thank you"

Do you have the following folder

\storage card\WAD_Icons\MALLMAN\Mallman_vista (the underscores "_" are part of the folder name )

Are the icons in that folder?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] daniel33:
hello,

excuse me, i thought you were french...:) because in a post, you said " i test it on french rom..."

so, i speak english:D

well, i have exactly that : storage card\wad_icons\mallman\mallman_vista and the icons are inside !

but i repeate, i have created the folder " storage card" directly on my touch HD, and not in the internal storage. because in french, the storage card is " carte de stockage" . is it correct ?

i read all the posts, i understand exactly what i have to do and i did what you say. same thing, i have only the wallpaper and nothing else !

but i have an other question : are the capitals letters importants ??

thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
since your ROM is not english the "storage card" folder you created must be in the root of internal storage, not on you microsd card. is that where you created it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] daniel33:
yes.

when i open my Hd, i have 2 folders : my device and carte de stockage.

i created " storage card " directly on my device, not on the microsd.

i don't understand ! you can believe me, all is good !

tell me, is it not because i have an unenrisgtred version of wad2 ??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
i didnt think being registered with WAD2 matters. If it isnt registered then you have to create the "themes" folder under the WAD2 installation folder but since you can change to the theme you must have done that right?

You have the vista background image right? Because if you have that then it sees your "storage card" folder because that image is in the folder.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] daniel33:
yes yes, i have the background vista, but not icons.

well, i think i'll look for an other skins.

thank you for your help and for your job.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] VC_48:
The same problem...

I downloaded the vista theme today and only seeing background too...

:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
Go into author mode and try to delete that page. The guy that had the problem before said he somehow had a blank page over the top of the entire theme. I will put the download back out there again to make sure you guys have the righ tone. i may have messed it up or something.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
I went ahead and put a refreshed zip file on www.swampthing.net in the downloads section. It is working fine on my device so it should be the same for everyone if you get your folder in the right locations. Let me know what happens.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] VC_48:
thanks

yes - there was blank page over... thank you very much!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
glad I could help :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
added sounds to this. Also, if you get this theme check that the screens have "lock items" checked. it will save you headache later by not moving everything around accidentally
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Found that out the hard way...although I love reconfiguring it anyway :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
if you love WAD2 you love configuring :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Mallman I have a couple question for you if you don't mind.

I've had your vista theme set up the way I like it now for a few days. Today, this is what happened when I opened the start menu...it was blank. I tried to restore the missing items but that didn't do anything. Is there a way to get this back without having to start from scratch again setting it up to my liking?

Also how do you set up the gestures for switching from page to page with your finger? I've been messing with it for a while now but to no avail.

Thanks for your input :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
Well at a glance it looks like every image that was placed on the dock for the start menu has been deleted. If that is what you did accidentally there is no way to restore your customizations. All you can do is either reinstall the theme or reinstall the dock from the original set of theme files. Obviously you know how to do option #1 but to do option #2 you need to go into the original theme files and copy the folder "Dock_startmenu". Paste it into the folder "storage card\WAD_Icons\MALLMAN\Mallman_Vista_Theme\Page_Desktop" That will get back the original manu
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twitter72:
hi. i purchased the vista theme but there was no download link in paypal(worked fine for iphone theme). what can you suggest?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
sent you a PM on here.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
I'll option 2 a try. I wasn't customizing the software, I was just using my device a s usual. All the icons were there one second then when I went back to the start menu they were gone...weird.

This isn't the first time this has happened. I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with my storage card.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
now that you mention it I can almost garanty that is what it is. you need to back up everything on your card, format it and copy ti all back. I jsut read a post yesterday with that exact symptom. Does your interface slow down to a crawl sometimes? If so I would go ahead and do what I mentioned before the card is unreadable and you cant back it up :)

oh yeah and if your card is crapping out you shoudl check to see if the icons that are missing are actually still located on the card before you do option #2 expecting it to work. If they are not then it will not work
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Ya, Ive had issues with it before. As far as backing it up can I just copy everything I have on my card to my pc then drag and drop it back to the card after I format it? Also, is there a format option on the HD?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
not that i am aware of

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
When you say "update" what exactly do you mean? Add more functionality to it? Change the graphics? Just wondering. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
a little of all of that. I have learned some things though crating some themes that I could improve upon the vista theme (and other themes) with
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Awesome! So far that is the theme I like best of your collection! I'll be eagerly awaiting your update!!! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Mallman, is there a way I can save what I've changed or modified to my user preferences with your theme? I would like to try out your Iphone theme but I don't want to have to go and re-do everything I've changed with the Vista theme.

Basically I would like to be able to reload your Vista theme as I have it set up on my device right now without having to re-customize everything.

Thanks for all the help you've given me in the past, I really appreciate it! :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Demazelen:
hi,

sure you can load the iphone theme!

Just save you're current (vista) theme. To do this go to settings by tapping on the screen. In settings press export theme. Now you have to give the theme a name and adress it to a folder. I alway do this on my external storage card, this way i always have a copy of the theme in case of a crash or hard reset!

Then try out the Iphone theme...that is my favorit.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Thanks Demazelen, I'll give it a try!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
wait lol yes that will work but not needed unless u

are uninstalling the vista theme u do not need to do anything. just install the iphone theme normally. ive had as many as 20 themes inxtalledat once and they do no affect each other
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
So what you're saying is that the changes I've made to the Vista theme will stay even if I switch to the Iphone theme? I wasn't planning on uninstalling the vista theme, I have plenty of room to hold more than one theme.

When I tried exporting the vista theme as I have it set up currently, I'm getting an error. But this doesn't matter to me if the above is correct.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
you got it, as long as you are adding themes or switching to a theme you are fine. Dont bother with the export theme function, it only works on basic themse as best I can tell. When you have a lot of docks and grids (as most good themes do) the export function either goes on and on forever or errors out. I have never gotten it to work on any of the themes I have tried it on. There is a thread about the cuase on lakeridge's site.

Anyway, yes, install as many themes as you want. The best way to back them up is to copy the themes folder under the WAD2 installation directory and to copy the Wad_icons folder (my themes all use that folder). All the files are very small so copying them only takes a few seconds. Let me know if I can help you anymore. I believe I answered your questions :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Yes you sure did, thanks! I"m playing around with my Iphone right now :) Although I will be switching back to my windows Vista here soon! (I've always liked WM over the Iphone).

Excellent job on this theme man, looks just like my sister in laws...no, better than hers! :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Demazelen:
Nice that it worked.

Remember that if you make a hard reset (or the phone crashes), you loose all you're created themes. That's why i back them up under the external memory storeage.

No, everything stayed locked and thats exactly how it came out after moving the folders in and activating WAD2. Uninstalled and reinstalled WAD2 (this time to device memory), recopied your folders from my PC to the phone and it is now working fine.

It is much faster too now WAD is in the device memory. I recall this is also the case with WA3. Its a very nice theme, and has got me back into Wisbar customisation after a couple of years :)

Internet shortcuts on you're theme

Okay here it goes..................

- tap and hold on a blank space, to enable Author Mode

- select New, and press on Shortcut (see link below)this screen appears then)

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d85/demazelen/Shortcut.jpg

- you see the application folder line, enter the URL link of the desired internet page there

(example: http://xdaforums.com/) see link below for example text)

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d85/demazelen/shortcut2.jpg

- most important here is that you don't forget to enter the http:// line, otherwise it will not work! (so only www. will not work)!

- deselect the option default icon if you want to input you're own icon

- just press done and create you're own internet shortcuts on you're theme page.

Let me know if it works or if there is any trouble, GL all.

Hi Mallman, I have a question for you if you don't mind.

I'm trying to get the gestures to work with your themes (or any theme for that matter) but am not having any luck. I've gone into each of my pages properties and ticked the "slide to change pages" option but this does not seem to change anything.

I'm aware it's probably something minuscule I've just overlooked but if you have the know how I would be greatly appreciative and in your debt if you shared your knowledge. :o
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
do you mean you are trying to set up a gesture? If so, just set up a "slide left, right...) and then make sure you set the lock items feature on each page and then exit author mode. Sliding pages will not work if you re still in author mode. Please be more specific if this isnt what you are talking about.
