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".

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

TF3D Home Screen Button Removal

Hi,
I've been lurking around since reading a review about the Diamond on GSMArena.com (and then deciding it was the phone for me) where they mention this site as the tweaking place for the phone (among others).
After alot of reading about and installing various apps (that are freaking awesome) there are few things i would like that i havent been able to find, either through my lack of searching skills or the inability to word the searches correctly, anyway, to my questions.
1) On the TF3D Home menu screen, is there anyway to disable the touch ability of the large flip clock ? (as when i touch it currently it highlights green and loads the Time/Date/Alarms menu, and i would prefer it not to)
2) Also on the TF3D Home menu screen, is there anyway to remove the ''Call History'' and ''Calendar'' Links ?
Thanks alot for any help you guys can come up with for me

As far as I know.. (please someone correct me if I'm wrong!)
No, only way to do that is to disable the whole screen..
No (install the analog clock?)
The reason is that those functions is hardcoded in the manila files... sorry

Thanks NisseDILLIGAF for your reply.
There's no need to be sorry too, i figured after reading alot of posts on the Manilla program that alot of things are still in early development regarding customisation of it, so there's no need to worry and im certainly not devastated by the lack of such mods thus far. And as im stuck with the Touch Diamond (very happily of course) for at least the next 18months i have plenty of patience in hoping that modifications like the ones i would like might be developed within that time period (but of course, im not going to cry or moan if they never do, or its simply not possible in the end)
Anyway, thanks alot for your reply

one way might be to modify the link of "click on clock" to point to today and modifying the skin with the green highlight to be transparent.

[THE] TP2 TF3D Neon Tabs - v1.2a [10-06-2009] - Coming back - Soon

TF3D Neon Tabs Theme
Still development in progress but so far I have managed to get the actual TF3D tabs to be in a type of "Neon" scheme.
I will be working heavily on this trying to go through all icons in TF3D making them Neon so there will be many updates to follow making this simply perfect.
Feedback more than welcome and opinions probably will be worked in.
Please note, people have confirmed this works on....
-- Touch Pro 2
-- Touch Diamond 2
-- Touch HD
If you do try this on any other phone, please let me know the outcome, I should be able to adapt the files to work on any phone in theory
The Cab file is fully un-installable so if you don't like them, just remove the program in Remove Programs and you're back to normal.

Screen Shots

Updates
Version 1.2a - 10-06-2009
- Changed some colours around to make it view better
- Added different options for different people, plain, transparent curtain, transparent slider, transparent curtain & slider (can't please everyone)
Version 1.2 - 10-06-2009
- Created the 4 icons in the people secions
All People - Favourites - Updates - Call History
- Also added Transparent bottom curtains and transparent slider so no need for extra installations.
Version 1.1 - 09-06-2009

Version 1.0 - 09-06-2009
- Created Tabs for following Tabs when selected...

There is no need to extract the file, it's a cab anyway.
Just copy the file to your phone and open it -it installs itself.

Beautiful!
Thankz!

I'm going to be working on the lot in 'All People' tonight, so hopefully should have an update later.
Also going to be working on the actual button on the base, any ideas from anyone how you'd want it to look?

The slide part, the button that you hold to move and slide, the "block". Can't think what its called but its the rectangle block that you slide from left to right.

Ahh ok, you mean the slider .
I'm already using Lucarp's transparent slider.
I've attached it, so you can have a look for yourself what it does.

Here's a screenshot of the slider if you don't want to install it

Looks good, I want it to be a bit narrower though I think, not 100% sure yet, haven't made my mind up. Think I'll have a play around and might incorporate it in my icon set.

Update
Updated icons to include people section and also added transparent slider and transparent bottom curtains in so no need for extra installs.

Nice Icon's
Very nice work!...Would love to use these with my Touch HD!!

I can do them for the Touch HD too if needed. I just need the manila files uploading somewhere if someones prepared to do it?
Have you tried it on the HD? It might just work...?

I will try them out tomorrow and give you an update! Again, they look great! Cheers to your fine work!

Hi there, just want to say it works on my Touch HD Unfortunately I am using a chinese rom (Devilstone v3.7 with TouchFLO 34 2.1.38158.2), so I am not too sure if it will work with other cooked romr, just give it a try I guess~
Here are the screenshots:
This is just the theme itself (with Lucarp78TS.cab)
And this is the transparent both cab (I uninstall Lucarp78TS.cab)

Looks awesome on my TP2. Thanks dude, good job.

How to remove the HD mini lockscreen on cocked rom?

Hey Folks,
I got since several weeks a custom rom on my HD2, the only problem it the (nice looking but bad locking) HD-Mini lockscreen, which had already been cooked into the rom.
This means shortly said - the phone really often does weird things in order to unlocking the screen, which is really to easy to unlock - especially in my pocket while walking.
So, what I want is the old one back, the stock HD2 lock screen - all this sh*t never happened before (for e.g. uploading 100%dark pics of my pocket to facebook... )
How can I do this without flashing a different rom or hardresetting?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
Maeffjus

Possibly find the original somewhere in the app section, it should over write the Mini one or wait for someone to CAB the original and post it up here

No... a look at the cabs-post was not helpful..nothing there..

Why? Its funny, and in some cases appropriate

Ohhhh my fault - sorry, but I'm not able to change...
No idea - by editing the first post it is not possible..
Also I installed the file I found at the link and it is still not working also after softreset the HD-Mini screen appears..

Why not try Cookie's home tab coupled with the CHTEditor? There are lockscreen layout options... one of the options is what lockscreen style you want.

Just as the other poster stated above, without knowing what ROM you have flashed, one can guess that Co0kie's HTE was cooked into it thus leaving the locksreen activated by default.
From the Homescreen: Goto Menu-->CHTE-->Lockscreen Setting-->ensure "Enable Default Lockscreen" is on and that "Enable CHT Lockscreen is off
Scroll down and there should be 3 options with radio buttons next to each
- Manila
- Windows
- HD Mini
Choose one.
Or the problem could be with the ROM itself; it's cocked.

the mini lock screen uses a different dll so just restoring the original lockscreen file won't work, the registry needs editing to make chome use the original dll.
sorry but currently not in a position to help In more detail.

Hmm tried it with CHTEditor but did only work with cookies lockscreen... the original ones are not working - no matter what is configured, it shows the HDmini-screen.

You may need to get a ROM without it then, or get the Chef to cook one for you
