Windows Mobile 2006 Skin for Wisbar in WM2005

Hey all,
I really like the embossed title and bottom bars on the windows 2006 mobile interface. Always thought it was a very simple, yet creative step up in design.
I don't like most wisbar skins because they are filled with useless icons, functions, and things I don't use.
Is there a way to get Windows mobile 2005 to look like windows mobile 2006?
Thanks for the help.

Bump.
Anyone?
A wisbar skin?
A installation file?
Nobody's done this yet?

Very simple now. Just get the beta copy of wisbar advance 3 from their forums. The default theme being used in it is crossbow

iPhone theme for wm5

I found a website that I think has the best iphone theme to use but you need Wisbar Advance & Desktop but its worth it. Anyone want to know the link?

Sure, go ahead and post it. I would check it out

As i said you need Wisbar Advance 2 and Wisbar advanced dektop but its worth it. It has all the latest icons including the YouTube one and there all cuztomizable.

GWE (GUI) subclassing

hello,
does anybody have some pieces of sample code about GWE subclassing / skinning the OS UI ? - like wisbar advance / icbar / pocketblinds does ?
i'd like to create something like a wisbar AD lite for PPC2003 - to make it look more modern - especially the old fashioned commandbar/menubar.
thank you!

Chris over at lakeridgesoftware.com, owner of WisBar Advance, was thinking about making his theme engine open source. He might if you ask... if there's interest.
Sorry if this isn't what you want. I don't know what you mean by "GWE classing" or whatever.
Then, of course, there's WisBar Advance 1.x.x (freeware).

Have any of you completely ditched Touch Flo in favor of any other software?

I totally love touch flo but I am not sold that it is anything but eye candy and that other software overlays for WM6.1 might be better.
I was curious if there are people out there who have jettisoned touchflo in favor of something else, and what is that else?
Thanks for your opinions, input and software suggestions.

i go back and forth between wad and manilla

I googled WAD and was soured by what Google thinks I was referencing. )
What are you referencing? Manilla is TouchFlo right, but where does hte manilla come from? What is WAD?

WAD is Wisbar Advance Desktop, here you go:

There are a lot of nice skins for WAD.

ufufu got it for you
yes manilla is "touch flo"
manilla comes from htc but has been reverse engineered by some developers on xda.

i added wad to pda V10 and cant get it to work.. i disabled tf in today but wad still wont display weather etc..
its just a black screen
i really like the look of what wad is supposed to be..
any help is greatly appreciated
thanx

i see it the same way.. Manila2D/TF3D is good only for having your PDA look cool. it's not as useful as a PDA could get.
I set my UltimateLaunch to be as useful as i could using FEWidgets/Makecall (for speed dialing)/Rumball's weather/some internet icons and a networking plugin... and so forth.
..

How do you feel wisbar advanced desktop comapres to SPB pocket plus, do you have any experience?
Glad to hear I am not alone with tf3d not being the ultimate in work horses, I will look into ultimate launch.

by blank screen does it actually look like a blank screen, or does it look like there is nothing on your today screen. wisbar has to be completely designed by hand, or you have to download a theme file.
go here for a theme and tutorial i have put together.......

I have the same question and thoughts - perhaps WAD or SPB mobile shell would be a better fit b/c of the greater potential for customization. Can anyone comment on the memory usage / responsiveness between tf2d and WAD or tf2d and SPB mobile shell?

the opposite here. i used to have ultimateLaunch, but when Manila (TF3D) was born, ditched UL and now I am a happy manila user... love the changing themes every now and then, and everything else that comes with it, e.g. great graphics (rain animation is nice) and the close to no maintenance. manila is a little less flexibile the UL, but, pros overcome cons, for me at least.

[wm6.5] Today screen

Titanium today is very cool, but is there another transparent today screen for wm6.5 apart from Manila 2d?
Thanks

Dunno what else you could mean by transparent but there is also Pointui spb mobile and wisbar. They are not so easy to work with. Spb mobile I think, is the easiest and Pointui can be very attractive.

A 1 + for pointui

Throttlelauncher is a good option, you can configure it at your own taste using themes (even Iphone, Android, TF3D, BB, GSmart imitations or some themes specially made by a person or for a person with some useful and nice aspects) or taking some of the themes and making your own one. You can add widgets, flash, and WM-Today plugins into the panels of ThrottleLauncher.
You can do a search here in xda-dev's or go to www.throttlelauncher.com
* NOTE * I experienced some problems running TL if my device is low of memory *BUT* I continue using and recommending it (and trying to put it into my cooked ROMs) - I run it with Kaiser and with Herald both WM6.5.1 now.

He means transparent toolbars

Yes, some of the TL themes do have transparent toolbars depending of the PNG's that the theme uses. As they are capable to disable the toolbars of WM you can use full screen themes with their own (or without any) toolbars - where they can be configured as the theme developer, or the user, like to.

Moved this thread outside of Dev and Hacking where it did not belong.

transparancy is possible in wm6.5, means what you want is practically can be done.

Thnx a lot for your replies friends.
In fact i was looking for new today screen with transparent taskbar.
Throttlelauncher can be very good. Will give this a try.
