Hey fellow SEX1 users!
Just posting a quick note in our forum here to let you know that I've updated my WVGA VistAdvance Wisbar theme in the Development and Hacking forum. Hopefully you'll take advantage of this if you missed it the first time, and if you already installed v1.0, please update to this version, as I've fixed a few bugs and added AppToDate support.
Oh, and please comment in that main Dev + Hacking thread so everything stays organized.
Hope you like!
very nice... Do you have to disable pocket plus in today to run this theme..WA3
scar45, that looks awesome. Seeing that you have an xperia, does it slow down your phone when you use it? Also, what version of wishbar do you have to have? And third, would you have to uninstall spb shell tob use it?
Looks good. Unfortunately I realized that Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop somehow doesn't work too well with TF3D (or maybe just TF3D as a panel) so uninstalled it.
I cannot get this work with the X1
I have installed but cannot find out how to apply it or use it.
anyone have any ideas??
same here, intalled the VistAdvance but couldnt find it anywhere
Cool Theme, i have to do a question....
1) This theme run good with TouchFlo Manila Full Cab on X1? I like it and i will want to continue to use it... is possibile use this in another panel?
For people that say you cant find it. You need to have wishbar advance desktop or wishbar advance install in your phone first. What you are downloading from scar45 post is just a theme for it. I've been using it and it's great, works with panels and tfl3d.

Hi randy_c,
You should be able to use it as a panel for sure. Wisbar Advance Desktop v2+ now has an option to "detach from the today screen". If you select this, then WAD2 will be running on it's own, like a standalone application.
Therefore, if you are able to config a panel XML to load WAD2, you should be able to use it as a dedicated panel.
If anyone does try this and notices that it works, please let me know and I'll fully integrate it into my theme. I'll create lovely Panel graphics, and it will be easy to update if you're running v1.1.

Love to...but not very good at creating XML to load WAD2...Anyone know how please......
does it have Gesture support?
like sweeping finger across from right to left changes the screen?
I just don't know why this didn't work on my Xperia: i've installed WisBar 2.1.1.1 and then VistAdvance...so i've done a soft reset and then, on the Today panel (the principal one) i see only a black screen, waiting for something...nothing more.
So i've uninstalled VistAdvance...soft reset...and after a while WisBar comes with a default theme...REALLY SLOW!!!
But i didn't managed to let VistAdvance to work...
I installed it yesterday and found that:
When I loaded the theme using WAD2 i would get the theme but the windows taskbar (start menu) remained the same as was not customized to the vista look of the theme.
When I loaded the theme using WA3 I found that start menu was changed however the theme background, menus were not loaded.
I was getting gwes.exe errors and DesktopAdvance.exe crashed as well. I used it with WAD2 for a couple of hours, as that actually showed the menus and must say I really like it a lot! Nice and smooth - good customization.
One other thing I found was that after installing the theme my connections were screwed. I couldnt always connect to my phone network, trying to turn on data connection resulted in the phone crashing as it hung on the comm manager page and Opera browser wouldnt let me use BBC iPlayer (Streaming media was coming up with a 'failed to load' error) whereas after removing WAD,WA and the theme it worked perfectly.
I am not sure how much it is related to my handset or the theme but something wasn't happy.
Did you disable task manager? I still think someone should develop a panel for this beautiful software WAD & WA

Find that both Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop don't really work well with TF3D. If I start an app while in TF3D, after exiting the app, I'll end up in Wisbar Advance Desktop rather than back in TF3D. And for Wisbar Advance, had some issues with it but can't exactly remember right now (cos had uninstalled it already).
i see alot of new themes that i like, including yours.
Now i have been looking to buy this app.
what is the difference betweent WA and WAD ?
What why would i need WAD?
Sorry for the off topic.
WA - WizBar Advance 3, skins the tool bar and start menu of the device,
WAD - WizBar Advance Desktop 2, skins the today screen.
I tried using them both, and while they look really nice and do improve functionality, there were a few problems.
1. I couldnt get the Panels to work nicely with WA; the phone just freezes for 5 secs when you press the X Panel button.
2. There seemed to be a few bugs in WAD, with parts of the pages disappearing, and others appearing from other pages, which got really annoying.
3. It also seemed to slow down the phone a fair bit, which I could have got used to.
I did enjoy the customizability of the interface, definitely a bonus compared to SPB, but I couldn't ignore the problems it brought.

Thanks for the reply.
So if i want to use this skin
i need WAD?
And i have a custom rom without the panels.
i guess that i would not have any issues because i dont have any panels?
Yeah you have to download and install WizBar Advance Desktop 2 to use the main theme, and WizBar Advance 3 to use the start menu skin.
Hopefully you can get it working better than I did!
Hi guys
Ok, first of all - this is my first post. Woohooo. K now that that's out the way, lets get down to business.
Had a new slider and clock etc and then I saw XenRed (http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/) ... Decided to install it (using Diamond TF3D Config) and it works. But can't change the wallpaper. Tried using mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02 and then my clock just started ficking through numbers and sticks at 12:59. I Used Diamond TF3D Config to reset to defaults and I just can't get the wallpaper to work (I tried in Settings - Wallpaper and Start - Settings - Today - Use the Picture as the background).
I'm not a developer so I can't exactly go write my own manilla files or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. If possible, I wanna have a different today wallpaper to every other one but wanna customise both. I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&page=53
But I don't know how to edit Manilla files. Is there a CAB that will work that I don't know about? Thanks everybody
that background for all pages has some nasy effects on some versions of the tf3d especially modded versions, theres not much you can do apart from either unistall everything to do with the tf3d and re install tf3d or hard reset and start again

This looks really cool. Before I install it I would like to know if it will cleanly un-install if I wanted to, reverting me back to my original setup. I use a standard TP2.

I have done just that in creating this theme. Installed and un-installed multiple times without a problem. Remember to disable TF3D prior to doing so.
hi im trying to uninstall it and wont do so. it keeps saying " it has not uninstalled completely, would you like to remove from the install list" and i hit yes but it still stays there.. only thing that was removed was the wallpaper.. icons on the tabs are still there.. stock tmobile tp2
Hi just installed it and the clock numbers have changed as per the screenies but the background to the clock is transparent and the background to the main screen didn't change. The rest of it looks fantastic.
I uninstalled it and have notices that when you select wallpaper it no longer asks you if you "would like to use the default one" before you browse for another one. Other than that it seems to have uninstalled fine
Edit :- Out of interest, is it possible to have the theme with the original HTC clock ?
@noodles... did you disable touch flo before you uninstalled it ?

Have you installed anything else with this theme? I have installed and un-installed multiple times without a problem.

What device did you install this on? If you were using a crystal flip clock or Non-Verizon setup, then this will only change the numbers. Verizon does not use a flip clock.

Thanks for the quick reply. Mine is a stock HTC European version. Is it possible to have it without changing the clock. Also the wallpaper on the clock screen did not change but the rest of the tabs had the new background. I guess this can be changed by manually chaning the wallpaper. Have you got the wallpaper as a seperate file ?
Thanks again.

I would have to make a separate CAB without the clock files.. Wallpaper is attached.
Thanks for the wallpaper. Transparent clock or not, you did a fantastic job. If you ever get round to creating a cab without changing the clock I would be most grateful. Thanks again.
yea i have i installed HDWall Hero because the homescreen did not have the hero wallpaper but i uninstalled that, then i installed your theme again and then uninstalled and finally got it removed.. thank you

Slightly off topic, but I usually find that if you try to uninstall something and you get the message that it was not completely uninstalled and then asks if you want to remove it from the list and you click "Yes", it remains in the list. But if you go to install it again, it goes through the usual process of "The old installation of "XYZ" will be removed first...etc". It will actually remove it and not install it again. Strange, but it works!
Nice theme btw! (as always)
O man this is great again, I love your theme work!
Could it be don get the clock working, or looking like, the Verison setup for the WWE version's as well?

Bert

I am receiving my Imagio tomorrow morning finaly and plan to mod it right away and I am wondering if the mods/ tweaks for the Touch HD will work? Especially this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544422 and if there is a version with out the theme applied? thanks for anyone help. I will be in the game tomorrow to help anyone else out as well.
I hope so, because that theme looks really good. I'll give it a try.
Tried it on mine . Took 10 minutes to load ( 11 MB ) and after i reset nothing happened , still had the same theme I had before (stock). Took remove programs 10 minutes to delete it. A big waste of time.
Well, the only thing that changes is there's a Dusk theme under the Today settings that changes the lockscreen and adds a nice gradient to the taskbar and softkeys, but TouchFlo is completely unchanged.
alright well thanks for testing. I wasn't sure an didn't have the phone yet at the moment. I have been installing cabs that I have through out the day and will report later on what cabs work for me and what ones do not.

I think thats because TouchFLO has to be cooked into the rom. You can't just install a cab of it.
That link I believe is just a theme of touchFLO 2.5, and in order for it to work it requries that you have the software already cooked into the rom.
That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't check as, well, I can't exactly flash a Manila 2.5 ROM to my Imagio yet, haha.
Since installing the Professional V2 theme, which I really like, I have lost the transparent slider. All I have is an opaque slider now. The screen below shows it where the home button should be.
I've tried installing additional sliders to get it back, but no luck and I've asked on the theme thread.
Can anyone help?
Looks like a transparent slider problem.
I had the same problem when using Energy's Rom and installing the dusk theme on it. I had to install a cab fix from that thread.
I'm not sure if it'll help you or screw your theme up since it's not the same as dusk. If it does i already apologize since im a noob when it comes to theme's
Here is the Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585072
Look at Post 2 and in there you'll find an attached file called "Dusk_Manila_2.1_Transparant_Slider.CAB".
Maybe that could solve your problem.
That's perfect. Thank you for your help.
