thanks to DjCaSpEr for the tutorial:
ok look i was using this theme. what u need to do is download wa3 and wad. the wad u need to download is elboriyorker wad1.3 something. once u do that download the 2 zip's the the zip that has the landscape and portrit in it pull it up and wait. pull up ur active sync and open ur file explore, and if u downloaded elboriyorker wad it should say themes. open themes and it will bring u to desktop open that. go back to ur zip file with the 2 things i said that should be in it and copy 1 at a time and send them to ur phone. once ur sync has completed u can set up the theme. but before u do that in ur file explore open my documents and the other zip file copy it and send it there. now pick ur phone up and go to file explore my doc install the cab files from that zip and ur done with that part. now hit the windows button programs and go to wa3 go to setting go down till u see themes click that u have 2 options portrit and landscape. on portrit set windows vista go to landscape and set windows vista landscape. do that so when u slide ur keyboard out the screen dont look all messed up. ok u have good luck doing what i have told u that is set by set what u need to do ok. also dont forget to hit the thanks.

ps. read the thread and watch the video it's vary easy to do.

If your activsync is acting up, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it on your computer. That fixed it for me when mine was acting up:)

Wait, your profile says you have an omnia....I dont think this will work with WQVGA displays. Its designed for regular QVGA

Yea but I saw someone on Modaco got it to work for them so I think I can get it to work if I can just get it into the correct folder and it isnt really isnt activesync but more my phone. The USB port is damaged so I cant connect to my computer

[Bijoux]

I dont have active sync, I use mac so I have to use missyng sync, and I cant see the themes folder, is there other way to do this?

you can do it right off of your phone....... there is a themes folder that will appear if you download and install the right apps like the first post says in the edit that was made about a month ago.

[Bijoux]

theres an edit button for a reason. you need to install it to the main memory and not the card like already stated in this thread. and yes you need wad and if its a exe file with the program icon to click on you have to run from the computer and not the phone.

Guys where can i find the wad and wa3 installation files

no this will not work on the diamond and use the built in search feature... you will find it in green on the site taskbar or at the top of the screen to the right of the banner on every page....

It seems like I overlooked something. I just got through with the thread. I downloaded the files from the links provided. When using windows mobile device, the folders in my phone doesnt show a theme folder. I placed the vista files in my documents folder next to an already loaded theme and it comes up like a regular vista theme. I also saw somewhere where it said that if you have a regular rom or something I might need to download Kaos or somethin like that.I mean I know I am super new to this and I know it shouldnt be that hard but still I feel like I have overlooked something. Been up all night on white castles and juice (lol). Can someone point me to the light? (And sorry about the pm)

[jester1511]

sorry if I am asking a stupid question.... but I am assuming there is no VGA version of this? I have a HTC Touch Pro.... can I get anything like this for my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

you need to add to the themes folder and than choose from the wad options under themes jsut like the video and everythign else... if its not showing than you are using the wrong verison of wad or wa

I have the wisbard deaktop 1.3.0.5 and wisbard advance 3.v3.3...I was able to get a little further but I was wondering, when trying to drag over the windows vista portrait and landscape, and the regular windows vista folders, why does it take the portrait and landscape so long to copy over?

--------- New Post Merged on 20/12/2008 at 01:36:48 --------

I have the wisbard desktop 1.3.0.5 and wisbard advance 3.v3.3...I was able to get a little further but I was wondering, when trying to drag over the windows vista portrait and landscape, and the regular windows vista folders, why does it take the portrait and landscape so long to copy over? Oh wisbard advance didnt install itself like desktop did.

thnks

than you installed the wrong version of WAD...... you didnt use WAD2 did you? once you install the correct version the folder will apeear.... i would re-read the first post since it tells you the version that you need.

[LeetDonkey]

Ok, so I didn't follow the directions properly and made my own themes/Desktop folder before installing the wisbar software...

when i finished installing wisbar it doesn't find the themes is this error reversable?

Yeah just delete whatever file you made in your phone , and just start fresh uninstall and reinstall follow the step's like in the video and you shall have the theme. This theme is great once you have it on your phone....

[LeetDonkey]

Ok I am still having a problem, I have installed both wisbar applications need but when i search my phone, I have no folder called themes in the windows defice folder.. any idea why..

Do i need to download and install a theme from windows first?


Sorry to be a pain...

K you have wisbar , what about wisbar advancedesktop 3 need that also. And are you using active syn or windows mobile device center ?

[LeetDonkey]

[D/\SH]

ok did you install desktop like the first post said also? you need wisbar advance 3 and wisbar advance desktop to make this work and WAD gives you that folder. and you cant be using WAD2 because the image names are different in that version over the original

[DJCaSpER]

please read my tutorial at the top of the page. it's vary easy to do. just follow my steps and ull have the theme working.

[tyquan1980]

this might seem dum to you but i wanted to know how do i get that logon srceen that you have when you phone comes on like you have on your phone?

[DJCaSpER]

yes my slide out key board works just not on this browser. i know that it's not made for my phone but it cool to have. i have like 5 browsers i try them all out and see how they work.

[tyquan1980]

[tyquan1980]

and i dont have the active sync like you have i have the WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE CENTER im running on windows vista not windows XP. and is there any opther way i can putt the themes on my phone? i tryed it but i dont get that start menu all i get is them theme an my phone is running on windows mobile 6.1

[DJCaSpER]

the logon screen is already there, just tap and hold on the wallpaper and choose "next page" until you get to the screen. From there you can tap and hold the background again and choose to set it as the first page so that it pops up whenever you wake up your device.

just tap and hold until the options come up and choose to add a shortcut and then you can add anything you want, you just gotta mess with it until you get the hang of it.

[tyquan1980]

helooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

--------- New Post Merged on 27/1/2009 at 07:25:11 --------

i know how to do that but the icons are not the same as the one's you get on the desktop for example when i done that then i pull up the start menu the icons go over the start menu instead of the other way around.. only the i cons that came with it is the one's that dont cover the start menu when i pull it up. i been all around this thing an so far i still haven't find a way to get the icons from going over the start menu when i pull it up. an the icons area bit bigger then the normal one.s on there an when i switch the icons to make them small it's to small haha. but i just wanted to know if there is anything i can do to fix those porblems i cant even make the icons the same way as they are with other icons.

--------- New Post Merged on 27/1/2009 at 07:27:27 --------

oh an one more thing. how do i putt the icons in the tray on the right bottom side of the panel were the volume is im not understading that one either.

[DJCaSpER]

ok look on wad pull up the start menu and tap and hold and u can put new icons for ur app's also on the bottom right same thing tap and hold and put ur icon. before u start asking questions over and over like u have please play around with it and see wwhat u can and can't do. u have a lot of stuff u can do like on ur home desktop. also when u make a post and ask a question wait for a answer before u post agin. double posting is hard to answer if asking to many question. also on Wckediden and xda we and them have a lot of icon for wad that u could use as well
