I would just like to start this thread to post some idea's I have that I think need to be included in a future release of the Settings app for S2U2.
1. Ability to choose any wallpaper on the device. (JPG/GIF) Not be just stuck to having to copy/paste into the GFX directory, as the filename of wallpaper.gif or wallpaper.jpg.
-FIXED: Use Slide2View posted here to change the wallpaper easily enough. I've known about the registry edit, but wanted a more streamlined solution. Guess this is it!
2. Have theme type files. Kinda like the tsk files for the today screen.
Few more I'll post later as I think of them.... Just post more ideas!!
theme
How bout if you can to themes like pocketcm does it and you can change themes like pocketcm.
lennysh ur suggestion works since forever, you have to edit the path in the resgistry. i dont remember where exactly, that way u can run the wallpapers from SD..

Hey lennysh, you should check out S2V (Slide2View) also by A_C. This is a cool picture viewer and one of the options is to make the currently viewed picture the wallpaper for S2U2!
I created a folder under My Pictures called Wallpapers. I put all my jpg and gifs (even animated gifs) in that folder. I can then browse those pics with S2V, and select one to be my wallpaper for S2U2. Very cool!
Hope that helps.
I think S2V should eventually be built into the S2U2 settings program.
An option I would like to see is password protected unlocking so that after you slide a dialpad shows up and you have to enter the password to unlock the phone.
an exclusion feature would be great because it's a bit disturbing while playing games..

there is an exclusion feature but it's accessed via a registry edit. go HKCU/software/A_C and there is a bunch of reg keys that start with "Exclusion1, Exclusion2, ....
Just add the name of the EXE that you want to exclude.
It would be nice if this was added to s2u2 settings via the gui but for now it works.
icon on screensaver?
First, Awesome app.
Now, when I launch S2U2 it works fantastic, but, there is a little icon that resembles a text document with a check on it and a number seven in a red circle just below it??? this is located just above the right corner of the unlock slide. Any thoughts?
just turn off task count in s2u2 settings
S2U2 and it's counter part S2V are both fabulous apps as far as single apps go. Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..which begs the question...why?? I think they are both great apps but I am not sure I see the point of two separate apps when you need one to do something specific like choose the directory to use for pics.
So..what I would like to see is a merge of the two or make them two separate programs entirely. On that note, it would be nice to see a few of these great developers merge several of their apps into one nice compilation. There are obviously several "popular" apps that all perform entirely different functions. A compilation of these "popular" apps would make for a rather nice experience. And when I say compilation, I don't mean a .cab that includes these apps together, I mean one united program with all the functions streamlined and working together. Something like a mix of S2U2, Pictureflow, PocketCM and what ever all bundled seamlessly into ...say...a PointUI app or something along those lines.
guap,
where is the task count located?

it's somewhere in the s2u2 settings, set it to "off". otherwise, you may try to mark your "unread messages" in your inbox to "read messages", so the task count won't appear.. hope this helps.
thanks
I want S2U2 to be PointUI-ized.
It would be great if S2U2 could have an owner info on the start screen. Maybe an icon (similar to the weather icons) or as a small text below the slider.
Awesome apps, but the only problem faced by me in my iMate JAQ is changing the orientation of the setting screen. As directed I have changed to path clock to clockH, but it still doesn't work. Any help there?????????????
Slide2View is nice. I have both S2U2 0.98 and Slide2View in the same CAB file, with the additional clocks included. If anybody would like a copy, just let me know. I will also try and include some more stuff if I find some. It is set to use the HTC theme in S2U2.
Got it! Thanks for the info....I kinda hate to admit it but I did not know that the options was a scrollable page. After that I found it no problem. What a great app!!!
If not too much
s2u2 is a very great application.
if not too much..can he include a preview button in the next s2u2 setting? ok, maybe i'm too lazy too save and exit the setting before i can see the outcome of it. but it could be a nice add on in the next release.
thanks to A_C!
Hello Friends
One more time sorry for my english
My pourpose is the next one: When you close S2U2, it appears a window with message " S2U2 are closed", and a ok button to close it.
It's posible that the window disapear automatically after few seconds?.
Thanks.
The ability to either key in a simple pin or a strong alphanumeric password when you slide to unlock.
Invoking the WM6 one is messy/untidy.
Also create a Today plugin for S2U2 so you can invoke the lock directly off the Today screen.

Ok, I think this one is gonna need a sticky. I got sick of having to type in all of the shortcuts in the registry editor to change the cube, so I wrote this little spiffy app. It allows you to customize the 2 sides of the cube with shortcuts. Just make sure you know what you are doing as far as what can go where. Enjoy!
Version 1.1 - I got tired of waiting for the file browser to refresh everytime. Now you only have to wait for the first time, after that it is cached.
Version 1.2 - Added IconPress to the 6-App Side, and IconPlaying, IconPlayingPress, and IconPress to the 3-App side.
Version 2.0 - Added param for 6-App Side and 3-App Side. Added links to animation files. Added GUI for app selection for 3-App side and 6-App side.
Version 2.1 - Squashed the bugs that were coming up. Sorry I didn't test it enough before releasing.
Version 3.0 - Now supports multiple 6-App sides (See Polen's Vista Cube)!! Added reset to defaults. Automatic shortcut selector or browse for apps. Fixed the bug where the Program Files directory wasn't showing up in the Browse tree.
Version 4.0 - Added support for the iCube , animation configuring for newly added sides, export settings to .reg file, and icon image preview*.
*The icon image preview must be set up correctly to work. It all depends on the naming convention used. Polen's icon packs work with the preview. Since the .brn files cannot be rendered, a .bmp file must be placed in the directory with the .brn having the same filename or following Polen's naming convention (ex. ie.bmp -> ie_top.brn, ie_top_press.brn).
I tried testing it with the stock cube, Polen's 6 sided cube, and the iCube, but may not have caught everything, so if you find a bug, let me know!
SORRY!!! I left out a file from the .cab, it's all fixed now! Enjoy!
Version 4.1 - Fixed a bug in the export settings and the Save button was getting disabled.

Thanks for the App, works great.
difference between this and touch settings???
ok one question
when i make Icons. I save them as a BMP 24 bit, then i can just BMP to BRN and it will work?
also you just install CAB and go. Do you have to stop any processes before going. I guess i wont wait for Touch settings. This looks like it will work great???
just need to know if i need different icon sizes for the 3X2 and Media Hub????

Without wanting to detract from what you have done, you may also want to look at 'Touch Settings' which has this functionality already. (now works on the Vogue) See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556 (main thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347892 (vogue support thread)
in your post though it said that you cant do Iocns yet on the sprint touch this one i believe if you just set the filepath you can!
also carlos kind of in response to my other thread in the vogue forum.
I was at my friends house playing w/ his sprint touch, downloaded some icons from my website, and put them on w/ this prog. I just saved files to the windows folder with BRN extension and it worked? Idk if it will w/ touch settings, but this one works for that purpose....
still not sure though if you need different size icons for mediahub..???
also still my question..... do you have to stop running the mediahub.exe or w/e the file is called before installilng this puppy?

As of yesterday's build Touch Settings can display / change Sprint (BRN) Icons. Simply tap the pictures to change.
great! ive heard so many great things about the touch settings program.. That i want to continue using it.
My question is are the pics still fuzzy when you use BMP to BRN. OR are they clear like sprint pre installed logo's.
my final question, and i know its been asked, can i use the 119 by the other dimension for both the 3X2 and Media Hub Screen?? What dimensions do i need? on the pics?
also i heard about Media hub not closing? is this true or is it fixed?
Would this work for the Bell Mobility version of the HTC Touch? (Canadian carrier, with a version of the Sprint vogue)
what i dont understand is th animation tab. I know how to make my own icons and stuff, my question is... like what is the animations brn?? What do i have to make for those. Do i need to change it?? I have all custom icons, does animations matter?

those are the images that are shown when changing from side to side. You don't have to change them, but you now have the option.
i c. So like if i make icon images... when i go to animations tab, i just say for image 1, run the path to my icon. Then i will be fine?? and it will turn w/ icon of choice... But there are only 6 icons???

What I'd really like to see is the ability to add QDail sides to the cube like you can with the Aplauncher. Has anyone got that working? I have more than 9 frequently called contacts and would love to have at least 2 sides of contacts - one for personal and one for business would be perfect.
But now that I've typed all this...I just realized that you didn't write the 6-sided cube app, right? I just integrates with yours....
I've been using the Touch Settings program from Carlos -- I'm anxious to see how this one works, too. Thanks to both of you for your hard work!

I played with your program yesterday (okay, let me be honest...I spent 20 hours in the past 24 hours making new cube graphics and drinking coffee until it was bleeding out my ears) and it's wonderful. In combination with the 6 sided cube it's a really great ap.
This may be from a total lack of sleep and the really nice caffiene buzz I've got going, but I'm a bit confused regarding the rotation anims and how to set them via the anim tab.
Is there a way to specify different transition graphics sets between sides 1&2, 2&3, and 3&4? It seems like the default is set to use C0-C5 for all rotations of the Launcher. Am I missing something? I was that the VistaCube program installed D0-D5 so manually created my own and added them to the Windows directory. My D series seems to be applied to those transitions eventhough the animations page shows C0-C5.
Is there a way to get to a drop down menu specifically for the extra sides or is this something that must be done manually? And in either case...how would I set it up to have separate anims for each of the different sides?
The main reason I ask is because I'm planning to use rather generic icons on my launcher pages so that I can swap out programs whenever I want without having to update the graphics on the cube. For example...I have an MP3 player icon that says "Music" on one page. I can assign that to Mort, or WMP, or anything else I want and not worry about the icon. That allows me to put the icons into the rotation graphics so it's a smooth transition and I don't see the "flash" when the app icons load on top of an otherwise different background.
Whew...long-ass question for something so simple. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you ever figure out a way to add another contact side to the cube?
I just installed the CubeConfig3.0.CAB
In the usual screen that says successfully installed and if you need more room... It is followed by a message I have not seen yet:
The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.
FYI

Some people dont wanna use the bottm 3 icons as notification icons so to disable it add a ,9 after the one you want disabled, u can also hide the bottom 4 icons by adding a ,0 after all of them and to hide the complete bottob dock change the 1 on the last line in the specific config file to a 0.
If the .Cab file wont install, just unzip the iphone-1.exe.zip file into the \Program Files\iPhone\ folder
I fixed the bug for at & T and moved everything up and smaller to make space for the blue tooth icons coming soon

Grumps,
VERY NICE APP. I am using it and it is great. Works well with S2U2 version too. My input for cometics only:
a. Can we put the operator name closer to the signal bar? This will allow room for other indicators such as Wifi and BT.
b. Can we have BT and Wifi indicator on the top bar? These two will make the SW going from COOL to WHOA!!!!!
Thanks and cant wait for your next release.

If i make it smaller it might say HSDPA Vodaco or something and ill hear more people crying? Any suggestions
And yes only QVGA, I dont have a VGA device to develop with sorry
This is a great app except...
There's no animation when you launch something. Or highlight. So sometimes you press again while waiting for something to start up.
Can we please get some sort of feedback when it's accepted the fact you pressed a button? Not sure how this works on the fruit based phone but I'm sure there should be some feedback.
Thanks.
ok just want to say great app.
here are some suggestion for you on the next version.
add scrolling to the app so if you want to add more icons on one page you can.
let it pick up default icons from the programs so you don't have to waste anytime on picking an icon for it. (but you can if you want too.)
scroll with finger to go right or left to go to the next page.
i have some other ideas and i would like to share it with you. if you are interested please P.m.
thanks,
the changelog says it has animations now. I just can't see any. What is meant by "animation added"?
Great work anyways.
BTW: Being able to scroll only one of the horizontal lines from left to right would be great, for, let's say, less important apps. So you have 3 rows of static buttons and just one row that can be scrolled by finger gestures... Saw that on iPhone, looked amazing...
I Concur
IMO, it would be great to have a scrolling launch page. Either horizontal or vertical. Also, annimation and vibrate with icon color change to reflect program choice.
Does the calendar icon keep up with the actual date??
Thanks,
CG
Thanks for such a GREAT app - assigned a button to it and it works like a charm. I do have one question \ request: is it possible to move the title bar elements up a bit? I use an app to hide the Windows Start bar and the softkeys (it is one of Vijay's tools) and your app then acts as my home page for most running applications (there are a few exceptions but overall it works great). The only issue is that the elements on your app (clock, battery, signal indicator, etc.) are a little low (2 pixels or so) so things look a little "off". I was hoping it was or could be a user changable setting.
Please don't take this as a complaint! Your app, combined with S2U2 provide an excellent UI experience. Thanks again for such excellent work.

Good idea to assign it to a button, I was trying to figure out how to integrate it better as a complete solution. Only problem is that on the Touch there is only really one button I can use and I was using it for the Full Screen Keyboard and to hold it down to get voice dial. I'm sure I'll work something out though.
I saw the link in the first post talking about how to get the .lnk files right and I assume that means for the Phone/Calc/etc which do not have .exes that I can easily find. I'll do some research to get that working.
Thanks for a great app!
Thanks for the info

Grumps,
Thanks for the info. I can see the name is an issue. If it is moved left align one space right after the signal strength then it will be good even with the longer operator name. If it is done that way, then if the BT and WiFi indicators are needed, that is when they are turned on, then they can be arranged to the left of the clock. These will cover the last portion of the long operator name but I think it will be acceptable because many things operate in the same manner due to the fact that there is not enough space for everything.
Thanks again for this VERY NICE APP. IT ROCKS!

Seeing someone else has posted my Mobile Vista Phone Dialer, I thought I'd post the rest of the theme.
Which consists of
Aero wait cursor
New Welcome screen
Today Screen
Wisbar Adv 3
Wisbar Advance Desktop
Vista Calculator
Vista WMP11 skin
Vista phone Dialer
I tried to Emulate the Vista OS as close as possible.
All rar's just need to be extracted and put into there appropriate Foders, All CAB files are self Installing

you did a great job with this theme... especially the dialer... it has its quirks and bugs i wish i knew how to fix (on the dialer)... and as for the theme, its perfect and very detailed to the t, but is very bulky and slowly responsive on my device. once everything is in memory it is pretty quick, but once you slide to landscape or power the backlight off... the memory will reset itself. (which is a problem with wad) but that isnt your fault wad2 will fix this! i have a lot of memory to spare on my kaiser... and once we get these missing drivers, im sure this theme would be a lot faster, but thats a whole new rant on its own...
but either way, getting back on track, i had to show appreciation to your work and share with this community here. thanks

i believe you extract the theme to /themes/desktop/ and then choose it in theme selector
but make sure you have your wad set to full screen in order for it to display properly...

Wad - wisebar advance?
Seeing the questions you have are all similar I'll answer as one.The main basis for my theme is Wisbar Advance 3 and Wisbar Advance Desktop. If you do not Have or know about these go to http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/download.php and all the relative Information is there.
As for my Theme It is easy to Install Thw Wad just needs to be extracted from the Mobile Vista.rar and the two folders Mobile Vista Portrait and Mobile Vista Landscape placed on your mobile in Themes/Desktop , that is if you have the WAD program. Then just select from Theme Manger.
All the other items are self installing Cab's or Extractable rar's and only need to go into there respective folders ie: Mobile Vista Wmp11 into the folder Windows Media Player etc
I hope this has helped
its wisbar advance desktop theme but its big. U can reduce it to 50 % because most of the background (wallpaper) is in .PNG format and u can change them to JPEG and that will reduce the size and also some .TGA (backgrounds) files are doubled and actually u can use onle one so delete if u find them i have reduced mine to 50% of the total size of this theme !!!

I had no problem with you posting my Dialer on this site, I guess I felt the rest of the Theme should then be here as well.
Yes it's only my second Dialer, Works well for me but then again I undestand all our mobiles are slightly different.
Anyway Tks for all the words and I'm glad you like It.
I haven't really had a chance to mess with any settings or Wisbar products yet, but what's the need for the Wisbar Advance?

If I understand the Question, there are no special needs they can be used on any windows mobile pocket pc pr phone addition. 2003se, mobile5 and mobile6. It's probably better with a newer modile as they usually have more memory.
Thanks for the great theme work. After a few times making the theme FUBAR'd and reloading it, I finally figured out how to customize it! I even added pages and plugins. Once it's finaly setup the way you want it, make sure you copy the theme directories to a safe location, because its a pain to customize in both portrait and then landscape, hours and even days of work can be lost in a snap. Here are some screen shots to give you some ideas:
The blue bar next to the start button is actaully a signal meter, it helps to know if you can make a call or not.
A few more screens:
The last one here is a page of spb today plugins; "Pocket Plus" "Phone Suite" (as a plus tab) and "Time".
Last one, used the included "weather page" and and customized it using "spb weather" today plugin, with some custom logos/text:
I would like to see an update to the dialer if possible, the "talk" button needs redial behavior added, right now it does nothing. If I can learn how to fix it, I'll post it if thats ok. It also needs the more white top raised above the buttons, for a better appearance, in my opinion. Thanks again for all the GREAT work, I know you put alot of time into this!
hi there
first off, i'd like to thank for making such nice appl,
but sorry to my bad understanding, how do i install it...?
thanks
DELETE double post. Sorry.
I had trouble at first too, after few hours of messing with wisbar I figured it out and wrote my self a text file for future reference:
~~~ HOW TO INSTALL VISTA ADVANCED THEME ~~~
1. Copy the 2 folders in "MobileVistaWAD's-Mobile6" and copy folder "MobileVistaWisbar" to the Mobile Device under "Device/Themes/Desktop".
1a. OPTIONAL- Copy file "MobileVista.tsk" to the Mobile Device under "Device/Windows" activate to maintain keybord icon color integrity.
2. Copy folder "MobileVistaWMP11" to the Mobile Device under "Device/Program Files/Windows Media Player".
3. Install "wisbardesktop.armv4i.cab".
4. Install "wisbaradv3.wm6.cab".
5. Install "mobile-vista-calculator-skin.cab".
6. Install "mobile-vista-phone.cab".
7. Install "mobile-vista-welcome.cab".
8. Run "Start/Programs/WisBar Advance 3" (If not already running).
9. Run "Start/Programs/WisBar Advance Settings", Select "Theme" - "Destop Theme" - "Mobile Vista" - "OK".
10. Select "Destop Theme" - "Landscape" tab - "Mobile Vista Landscape" - "OK".
11. Select "WisBar Theme" - "Custom Theme" - "Menu" soft key - "install" - browse to "MobileVistaWisbar" - "OK" - "Apply".
12. Customize and repair any broken links.
Note: Use advanced setting to have WisBar start after soft resets.

Hope this helps.
PS. Using on AT&T Tilt, WM6 Professional
Sorry another P.S.
Disable any screen savers, especially "Spb Time" if you have it, the screen saver won't apear over this theme, until you try to answer a call, and then it can possibly lock up the phone requiring a reset. Do you really need a screensaver anyway, if its not in use, shut down the screen and save the battery
Afraid i have had to discontinue all work on this due to big time time restraints. If the download links don't work then please feel free to message me and i will email them to you however I won't be logging in here much so you may get a faster response by sending me an email - [email protected]
All the best!!
*****Updated 28/09 21:00 VERSION 5. Includes Trasparent scroll highlighter*****
First things first - I would like to give a big thankyou to MRE-net for the original idea for my theme, also for his help with setting up a CAB file. Without his input i would not have been able to have achieved this. Also for this task i have used the Manila ed tool to great effect so thanks to the developers of that as well.
The original idea for this came from this thread by MRE-net
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420423
Warning: The usual caveat applies to this, use it at your own risk. However the CAB file works perfectly on my 1.37 ROM and has also been used successfully on a 1.93 ROM so you should have no problems at all.
Here is a link to download from,
http://rapidshare.com/files/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME
http://rapidshare.com/files/148760101/TFL3DTABICONSV4.cab.html Version.4 CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/148762347/TF3DTABICONSV4.theme.html Version.4 THEME
http://www.uploading.com/files/RDM8W5TX/TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab.html Version.3 CAB
http://www.uploading.com/files/54B3SUKA/TFL3DTABICONSV3.theme.html Version.3 THEME
if for any reason any file is no longer available on the links above, just drop me a PM and i will email the CAB to you.
Version History
Version 5 - 29/Sep/08 - As version 4 but with a transparent scroll highlighter (looks good). If you have the large icons showing on each screen then V5 is not for you as the large mid screen icons will dissapear. if you do then use V4 and download Pama's transparent slider(which itself may not work if you use the CAll history /callendar tabs) See post #42 for full details
Version 4 - 28/Sep/08 - Lots of new Icons here See post #36 for full details
Version 3 - 19/Sep/08 - At the request of user 'skizZO' Now includes Icon for Calendar tab, with relevant Manila files edited - *Important* You must already have the Calendar Tab enabled for this to work. If like me you do not have a Calendar tab available then you can get a CAB file to install one by searching this site. Also at the request of the user 'timoline' i have Inverted some of the icons so that they all face the same way(Don't know why i didn't think of that! Thanks!)
Version 2 - 18/Sep/08 - Now includes enhanced 'Messages' Icon and new 'Email' Icon
Version 1 - 16/Sep/08
Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.
***Updated to now include lots of new icons for the first level menus, see my post on page 4 for full details
The Call history - Messages - Email - Internet - Photos, and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts - Calandar and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. For the Settings and Programs tabs i used icons supplied by MRE-net(thanks again)
In my opinion they look great on the Diamond.
I don't use the Email tab which is why you won't see it in the screenshots, but there is an Email icon included in the CAB. I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon, but i couldn't find another one that i feel fits better, i'll change this if i find a better one.
I particularly like my Weather Icon, took me ages to find and then Paintshop it to my requirements. It's amazing how hard it is to find good 3D weather icons!!
I have these saved in CAB file, which installs perfectly, so once again if anyone would like to try my icons you can download the CAB from here -
http://rapidshare.com/files/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME
If the file is no longer available on the above link then please drop me a PM and i will Email the CAB to you.
To install simply- Disable TF3D
Install CAB (Automatic soft reset will occur)
Enable TF3D
And you're done!!
*** If you are updating versions don't forget to uninstall any previous versions of the CAB first!!! as the new CAB won't overwrite the old one***
Once again i give a BIG THANKYOU to MRE-net for his icons and also the original CAB file, without which i would not have been able to put this together.
All the best
Steve
Tnks, but the dwload not work
No prob with download Time before downloadin counted twice
Will try n post results...thx man
used it and looks great ! thx you mate
@ Stevedpl7 Tab Theme for TF3D
you said I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon?
can you make a htc diamond or anything to do with htc music icon , just a suggestion
@ lucag
Keep trying, it appears that the free download countdown timer is counting down twice!!!
If you still have no joy, PM me and i'll Email it to you
@ Dynomite232
I'm in the process of trying to create an icon showing a Diamond with headphones in a musical type context, struggling a bit getting it to look good though so i'll post once i've succeeded!!!
Regards
Steve
Great job, like I said in my thread. Looks really nice, especially the sms icon. Keep up the good work mate !!!
I see that the screenshot tool is also working well for you ?
I do like the music icon btw....just like the camera icon. Wish I'd found that one earlier
Thanks, I've certainly got the bug for this now!! I'm working on some other stuff like new icons for the Call history list and various other bits bobs so hopefully i can come up with some good stuff.
Thanks for showing me the screenshot program, i'm anmazed how easy it is to use!!!
all the best
Are there also the missed calls and calendar icons?
@SkizZO,
Hi, unfortunately i didn't include a calander icon as i don't have the calander tab(don't think i have the original Manila file), as far as the missed call icon goes are you talking about a seperate 'Missed call' Tab? or do you mean call history? there is a call history icon but no missed call, this is because i don't have a seperate missed call tab. That said i could quite easily amend the call history icon to a 'Red' Missed call icon for you if yo want.
Sorry i was speaking about call history
Is it also possible for you to make a TFL3DTABICONSV2.theme file ?
Thank you
@ SkizZO
Yeah it's the top row third from the left. I will look in to a calander icon when i get chance.
@ timoline
Afraid i don't have the technical knowhow at the moment, i will look into whether i can do it when i get chance.
regards
Steve
Making *.theme files is really simple.
Just zip the changed manila files with Manila editor and rename *.zip to *.theme...et voila
Also another request , can you mirror some images so they all facing the same direction? (like home etc..)
Br,
links dont work
hi there
any chance you could put a link for the cab file as none of the current links work. great icons...many thanks
@ skizZO

I have been changing the links several times over the last hour so it may be worth trying again. You may also see the download countdown time countdown twice, just bear with it.
Alternativly i can email the cab to you

Excuse me, in Italy this link for dwload don't work, I don't now....If you use or rapidshare or....tnks...excuse my english^^
For those new to this theme, the whole purpose (besides making a theme to look like AT&T's Blackberry Bold) was to do a theme that required ZERO swiping. Everything is accessible through simple pressing. By doing this, I have made (for me anyway) the most practical UI I can dream up. Getting to what you might need is very fast.
Problems:
1. This theme was designed for how I personally use my phone and I am sharing it with you. I mention that because it will explain why, in my rush to get it out there, I forgot to remap buttons to the generic programs like contacts and texting. Also, the programs pages are still linked to the programs I use. I apologize for that.
2. The weather icon in Portrait mode that appears on the dock with your calendar doesn't always appear correctly. Not sure why. You can still press the area to get to the forecast page. Everything appears correctly there.
Installation:
1. Unzip the file. You will see three folders.
2. Bold and Bold P belong in your WAD2 themes folder on your device.
3. There is a folder called "Themes". This has all of the images, including alternate backgrounds and the weather icons you see in the pictures, and it belongs in the root directory of your storage card.
Instructions for Use:
Portrait:
1. Everything is pretty obvious. You should know that the Calendar icon opens a dock containing 1 day of appointments and a weather icon with current temperature. Pressing the appointment will open a Calendar page. Pressing the Weather Icon or the Temperature will open a Weather page.
2. The Wifi icon in the upper right corner will toggle your Wifi on/off. If your Wifi is on, green lights will appear underneath.
Landcsape:
1. There's room for more icons so the instructions for Portrait do not apply.
Enjoy. If you enjoy this theme, please feel free to donate to someone who doesn't rip off every icon, wallpaper, etc. from someone else.
Here's a few more pics.
Excellent
Great job. Thank You. I think I will give WAD2 another try.
holy ****!
great job bro!

great job oscarbum thks
need suggestion
hy,great theme there.
i'm a newbie and also working on a new theme my self.
but if you can help me,it seems i can't display an activesync status icon (using a full screen theme).
any suggestion?
That's something you might want to take up with Chris on the Lakeridge forum, since Active Sync is not one of your choices for a status icon.
On another note, I've been using this theme and it's previous incarnations for over a month. Would you believe tonight was the first time I needed to silence my phone? Needless to say, I couldn't through the theme and an update will be coming soon.
nevermind my bad

Simply push the "x" button to get rid of the program that's there. Then click the empty box and assign it whatever you wish. Same concept as the M2D programs page.

Ah. No problem.
Go to Start Menu->Programs->Wisbar Advance Desktop->Author Menu. This will bring up the Author Menu on the main screen.
Click on Author Mode.
Now, press and hold on the icon you wish to change. A menu will pop up. Click on Properties.
Click on Edit Script.
Highlight Launch a Program, then press Edit.
Click on the ... button.
Choose the program you wish to use and hit Ok.
Press Done.
Press Done.
Press Done.
In an area of the screen with no buttons, press and hold until the Author Menu pops up again. Press Author Mode to turn it off. Very important since many a theme has gotten screwed up by forgetting this step.
And enjoy.
