I totally agree. I was the first to be sceptical in this thread when he released the first edition. My reason was then that I initially didn't want to pay for something I had no idea if would work or if it was something I could use.

Still, I donated a small sum and got my download, only to find out that it was too far from a finished product, or even beta that I could use it.

I would have no problem paying something for this when/if it is finished, but asking for "pay" for an unfinished app/theme before people get to try it out is simply not the right way to do it. I almost regard it as a dishonest way to do business. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
You re right... i m a THIEF...

OUHOUHAOUh I m BAD man... :mad:

I m work on it all days, fullfilled all request, do my best to support other resolutions, i m not a F#'((!! Computer...

have fun ! and Stay tuned...
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Well, first all, I don't know the developer at all:D But to state it is far from even a beta is a little strange to read. Of course every link was to his own french device, and this is the thing with WAD, so I had to change properties for hours:p but after finishing this it works quite well. I added also some pages and delete a few of his to make it more personal for me ( I don't do anything with stocks for example)

But I agree it is strange to ask for a donation which you HAVE TO make...that doesn't cover the definition of Donation anymore, on the other hand, it is your choice to do it or not...I did it, and I am very happy with it!!

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
I'm not calling you a thief. The only problem I have with your approach is that it's not the right way to do it here at xda-devs.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jagan2:
Yes same opinion as yngvebn we have no intention to call u so... as i said we know u have put lots effort hardwork and all but just that its xda i mean you should share it first why do you think that if people liked your app they wont donate? they will bro u r hardwork will not go in vain. :)

You work all day and fulfill request thats true all agree but to whom? you fulfil request to those who have donated you right? And when u make it open for all.... you will be appreciated man and many will donate for your hardwork but as other mem said even without completion + testing ppl have to donate then try.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
Well said LeSScro.

The guy creating TouchXperience is also allowing people to donate so they can BETA test his shell, no one has an issue with HIM doing it, so why the hell are you guys all like "this is wrong, this isnt right waah waah waah!".

This guy is putting his own FREE time into creating this shell, no one asked him to, he's doing it out of choice, if you dont wanna donate then wait till its available for free, or find an alternative but stop *****ing about a guy wanting some incentives for the hours of work he puts into things!

Am I the only one who has noticed a lot of people here whine and complain about the stupidest of things?
[Windows Mobile Themes] carinoxx:
Lesscro i think you are doing a great work... but donation means donation... if your work will be free... let users donate if they want...
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
I'm on the TouchXperience beta-team and haven't payed a single cent. I asked him if I could join and that was it.

I'm putting down alot of my free time to do what is noted in my signature, but I'm not expecting anyone to donate until they can try it and see that it's something they like and will use. And even then, it's totally voulenteerly and free of charge. Tthe reason why I'm reacting here is because this is not free in any sense. You pay to get access. That's not a donation, that's a fee

I wont post any more posts about this here. Sorry for expressing my meanings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] carinoxx:
But dont say beta is availible... because availible beta is a png image compressen on a zip. It causes confusion.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkachun9129:
Maybe my comment is a little bit radical, but I am not regard you as a thief.

What i want to point out is that what you are requesting now is not called donation, it should be a charge which is not acceptable in XDA-developers.

I am sure all of us, including me, are thankful for your hard working on the development of this skin. But forcing us to paid before getting a skin claimed to be free is not acceptable here in XDA. I hope you get my point.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
No, no no, when you word it like that its fair enough, you're right, its donation-ware, it should be a choice.

I wasnt expressly aiming my comment at you anyway but at the member who declared (outrageously) that Lesscro should be banned from these forums for the way he has handled his theme and I can understand why he got offended.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kdub94:
I think this theme is amazing. Thanks for all the hard work
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
Let me just remind everyone of the forum-rules:

8. Donations.

We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
Look that one... new video with new feature support...

All is in video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iZZA_FSe14

Have fun & stay tuned...
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
Hey Lesscro, your theme keeps on getting better. Great Job.

I have a suggestion, but I am not sure if this can be implemented or not in WAD2.

Is it possible for you to add in the home screen (the screen with the Time, date, Day of the week, and the icons for missed calls, texts and emails) upcoming Appointments and Tasks?

I think appointments and tasks are really important for a home screen.

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] @mark@:
where is the download link for WVGA ??

and how to donate for you ??

im in syria and the paypal is forbidden:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Just add new widget:

Long press on screen.

Chose author mode

Add widget

PIM

Choose agenda

Choose your settings and tap done.

Voila, there is your agenda ;-)

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] savage25rcracer:
these will not be added because this is a WP7S skin, made to replicate it, those are not in the start screen. they are on the lock screen
[Windows Mobile Themes] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
I've had multiple conversations regarding forum rules via PM with lesscro. Unfortunately he has decided to continue to disregard them. As such, this thread is now permanently closed. It's truly a shame. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] spy1983:
Well i am also waiting for it...

I am willing to try it. When we can see the first release?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] gnarlytom:
looks really really great!

as other said, can't wait to try it out (I have HD)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikehockenballs:
This looks really nice!

But where can i get the MSN Messenger software for my TG01?

I saw the icon for it on the video ( bottom right hand corner ) but can not see it available in the 'Marketplace' to download and install?

Great work m8, keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_ape:
Just download Windows Live from Marketplace
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikehockenballs:
Thanks for your quick reply!

I have installed it now and all is good ;)

Cheers mate!
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_ape:
Anytime ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] snapz54:
stop asking for new versions before he's even released the original. Original will be released, then ask for new versions and either he has time or he will release the files to port to your resolution. patience....

I'll test on the omnia 2 if you'd like.

I think you'll single handedly save WAD2 with your skin. It's been dead over there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 7psixos:
intersting.....i believe its true..... test it and its in your hand when you want to release it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwanice:
really good man :)

I dont know that WBA desktop can be so fast and fluid :)

hope we can test it soon :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mimicicu:
Lesscro I've just seen your topic : you rock a max !! :p

You're french as I see, have you planed a french version, if you didn't can I translate it ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] crey7:
Also I'd like to help you, with test on Acer S200. Waiting for the release :)

You just shaked up the whole WinMo community :) Nice job!
[Windows Mobile Themes] freaksey:
really impressiv!

I'm really looking forward to see this soon and I am hoping that someone will port it to VGA.

You are a really talented guy, this is maybe the best theme of WP7 i've seen so far.

As soon as this will be released I will look forward to get that Homescreen Environment.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
Wow, amazing! I'm subscribing to this thread :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheRem:
it's awesome mate! ...wishing for QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cypher84:
Looks very neat, cant wait to give it a try, thanks for your work lesscro hope its not a long wait :)

Not sure if the slower cpu in my x1 will be quite as smooth but ill just wait and see...
[Windows Mobile Themes] alan112:
Incredible and smooth

More than willing to beta test for you on the Omnia 2 (i920) version, would be nice to get away from all the cookie cutter themes and UI's out there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] julian2596:
wm7

is someone going to make one for windowsmobile standard devices
[Windows Mobile Themes] Learic:
So is everyone wanting to test this theme already using Wisbar Advance Desktop?? For $9.99, it's not a bad price if Wisbar is widely used! This is the first time I'm hearing of it so I'm trying to decide if I should hold out for SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 or give Wisbar a go?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mutantblack:
Amazingly beautiful. Wanna try!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] hixer:
When we can have link for download this theme ? i really like this , hope we can use it soon :d
[Windows Mobile Themes] stained-steel:
Yowza!

Absolutely beautiful and stunningly integrated!!!

+1 for beta testing with my Tilt/Touch Pro 2, if you're so inclined! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_matrixx:
I would love to test this out on my TP2. This looks better than other attempts. With the news that the HD2 might not be WM7 upgradable I need some type of fix.
[Windows Mobile Themes] B3RL1N:
Not sure if you've realized the publicity that you've received for your skin Lesscro. Pocketnow.com picked up the story and so did Gizmodo.

Very nicely done. The only thing it's missing is some guts, link up some other software with your skin and you've got a nice little Windows Phone 7 Series Emulator going on there.

Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
Info

@ All...

thx ! some enthousiast like me about new Windows Phone 7 UI... i ll do my best to reproduce this stuff based on Screen capture and Offcial web site...

About release, new idea comes on my brain... then JokesOnYou ( An XDA dev & Skinners) give me a solution about People panel, i m working on it today...

new video demo & clarification about All available link on SKIN...

All works... it s a usable theme not only a picture...

About other resolution, i can make a QVGA without problem (i have an ASUS P535) & other resoltuion i have the latest Emulator... no problem...But at this time, only WVGA... sorry but TG01 is must adapted for me... Big screen... :p

Stay tuned Buddys... :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
It's excellent news that you are developping this project.

It's perfectly understandable that for now it's WVGA only.

Keep us updated ;-) and thanks a lot for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gnarlytom:
i don't know if this is any help with themeing etc, but i saw there is a facebook app for zune, that looks like it has a lot of elements of windows 7 series...

great work men

has any one test on vga screen diamond/pro
[Windows Mobile Themes] sahhar1993:
link please to test on my diamond
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
Why can't people read the beginning of the thread?? It hasn't been released yet, so your link will probably appear in the first post when the developer is done. Let him take his time! :eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] pramod_singh01:
could you please provide me the link to download it

and want to know, does it work on blackstone
[Windows Mobile Themes] amthonie:
Looks very nice in the preview! Can't wait to test it
[Windows Mobile Themes] appelflap:
Great!

Great, just great!

Please take your time to finalize it... It just looks too promissing to throw it over the wall. I'll be waiting patiently. :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Come on man, it says PREVIEW in big red on the starting post, it is mentioned at least 20 times he is still working and testing on it and even one post above yours someone asks to read first before requesting for other devices and download.

Are you to lazy to read or....??? Give the developer some time to finish it properly, and don't rush it.... before he changes his mind:eek:

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] nCoder:
Amazing work!!!

The wp7 looks and the WM6.5 functunality! Bravo!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pietrucci:
Maybe he could add PREV tot the subject, like most other do. So then it's clear without opening the thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] johansons:
wow

Man this is too awesome!

This support OS WM6.5 only?

Any chance it could work with omnia i900? WQVGA??

Pls do a release asap :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
Work on every WIndows version...

Wisbar advance desktop is supported by all device with touch screen or non touchscreen...
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
Any reason why you're making it for v.2, and not v.3? Haven't tried either of them, but noticed v3 is the latest...
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:

[Windows Mobile Themes] jagan2:
Please can you tell us will you be making a qvga version too? We will wait patiently. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] johansons:
HI

This looks cool..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Danni3:
you are one of the reasons why i love xda >.< you make windows mobile pleasant :O
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
@ Johansons...

please ! Don't write that on this Site...

About Portage to othe resolution... i have a Qvga then i think 1st portage can be made on this one...
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
Really not cool dude....
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
You can buy full programm or download a trial from their site I think;

http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/index.php?page=download

It's worth it anyway as there are more nice themes for it, but the one who is coming soon (I hope) beats them all ;-)

Lesscro: How are things going with testing? I hope you don't ran into major hick-ups;) If you need a hand with some things in photoshop, some screens who needs to be changed slightly, you can PM me, I work as a graphic designer, so I am happy to help when necessary. My boss will pay for it, but hey....who is a perfect employee? ;)

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
@ PollPix...

:D:D:D

So funny... Boss, stay near PollPix... it s a bad Man !:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] oTToToTenTanz:
$9,99 is really not too much to ask...and a small donation for the developers if this theme suits me, ofc =)

Btw: since it's WVGA I assume that it also smoothly runs on a xperia as well. But no landscape support ofc. Aaah this is why my next phone wont have a keyboard :(

Anyway, keep that great work up!
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
@ oTToToTenTanz...

Portrait seems to be finished... Landscape need lot of hour of working...

but i have a landscape project too...
[Windows Mobile Themes] herbster:
Do you think it will work on landscape for devices like touch pro 2? (Your too quick..Beat me too it, he answered already-post before this one).

Will it require both advance wisbar desktop and wisbar advance?

Great look and so far best looking 7 I have seen and fast functionality. Doesn't look like it will it require a snapdragon processor does it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] CowMix:
what of the main components of windows phone 7 was social network integration (facebook, etc). Is that possible in wad?
[Windows Mobile Themes] oTToToTenTanz:
That is music to my ears :D Thank you =)
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
@ ALL..

Check first post buddys...

NEW VIDEO....
[Windows Mobile Themes] jagan2:
Sorry, i was not able to understand your words, did you meant that you are thinking to port it first to qvga? Wow if so that would be great :)

Improving excellent!! its really awesome i wonder how u made this lots of effort good work. I really hope we will be able to get a qvga version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] johnny054:
I hope to see it in wqvga, it looks awesome!
[Windows Mobile Themes] PayAndDie:
yes me too :) great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rexian:
QVGA might be too much work for less height as well as width. VGA might be a bit easier.

In any case, looks awesome. I am not sure my Fuze (VGA) has the horsepower to run it smoothly, but would really appreciate anyone porting this to VGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 7psixos:
impressive job

!!!

release a beta version to test it in our mobiles to tell you what to improve or not this community can make this project PERFECT!!

keep working m8...you are A+++ developer
[Windows Mobile Themes] MRFERRARI23:
New video looks very impressive to say the least and the improvements look like there coming along very well!!! I def. look forward to the release of this so I can try it and the funny thing is that I've never tried or wanted to use WAD2 to be honest lol...not until you and this new project your working on ;)

btw when your done will it be free for us to use on WAD2???

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] rb1953:
I'm impressed....what a huge Microsoft team costs a few years....you do it alone in a week!! Everything fits together perfectly.

Wating patiently ( ahum ) for your release!! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] A_R_N_O:
what an impressive work in progress, I've refreshed this thread's first poage all day long waiting for a release, but that vlast video is already a reward

Keep it up, we're all impatiently waiting for that astounding theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] chiks19018:
One dedicated person = 1000 normal folks

Now release this before WP7 release :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
@ LeSScro : you do realize that along with the release you have to give some instructions on how to change links on some of the buttons for programs that some of us dont have installed (e.g. Nitrogen player)

Just a heads up so people who have never had wisbar advance desktop installed can use it without dead links..

keep up the good work,

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
it's getting somewhere....somewhere awesome...

Shall I wait till you release it or should I go to bed first ;-) it's 1 am in Holland now...well let's go to bed.

Can hardly wait till you release the first version. Second video looks brilliant.

A shame you are not in Holland, so I have to change all properties probably.

2 more questions:

1: Can this wad theme be placed on the storage card

2: do you put a cabfile with the release? If not, please aware new users need instructions of how to get the theme working with WAD2 (wadesktop file I assume)

Keep on the great work.

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rata26:
This package will serve a HTC Touch Viva?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pau9mi:
Link

Were is the Link to download this bad boy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
from what i can tell it is only developed on WVGA device, so i would say no (at least for now) i dont know if someone would port it in the future..
[Windows Mobile Themes] younxta:
This is awesome, cant wait to try it out !!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jasonjoo:
Except the team at Microsoft coded an OS from scratch... LeSScro is putting together a skin for Wisbar Advance Desktop. I don't think you can compare the two.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
About link in Wisbar...

I think all link will be wrong... then i need edit a Complete tutorial to config this theme with Your PDA, i have reworked all my start menu like categorized all LNK...

All pictures are stored in "storage card\WP7 - LeSScro" and theme is in "\Program files\Lakeridge\themes\"

basic structure...

About release, i m trying to make some test with a compressed cab or a mortscript installer... because mortscript is needed to use some actions in Skin...or a manual install... i don't the better way...
[Windows Mobile Themes] dairyface:
Whichever is quicker for you ;)

Look forward to the release, good luck.
[Windows Mobile Themes] A_R_N_O:
Cab is cool but maybe longer to build?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ballubas:
is it possible to port this to an x1? sorry if its a stupid question!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jagan2:
I didnt saw this post i checked back and found so its confirmed that you would make a qvga version thank you very much.....:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkachun9129:
is it possible to make program list scrollable?
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesscro:
Yes it s possible but no animation when enter in page...

But all link can be modified more easily...

EDIT /

CAB is ready => no compressed => 12 Mo

i work on "How to" create/customize link in this UI...

I think release tomorrow " THE PRECIOUS"

Stay tuned ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
aaaww... why not today? ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] impreZzA:
Hey LeSScro,

just astonishing !!!!!!

I like ur work, I saw ur skins at the fpsece forum and now this nice work!

I will give it a try!

One question remains its a skin so u will install it with a cab, can u remove it under program folder? Without any problems?

Thank u!
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
yes, it will work fine, X1 has a wvga screen, which will be the first release
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
[waits impatiently for tomorrow] good news !!!! [/waits impatiently for tomorrow] :D

Good for the starters it is a cabfile, so everyone understand how to install.

Cheers,

Arnold

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Themes] yngvebn:
I'm sorry, but this is far from usable for me yet (as suspected)... WAD is very cumbersome when it comes to editing stuff...

going back to SPB Shell.

Good luck with this though! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kanesw:
No menus come up when i long press. Which has made it unusable.
