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.

[gerruit]

How can I add shortcuts to the desktop without them showing up over everything I bring up. Like for example if I bring up internet explorer I can see the shortcuts I created with it up.

[gerruit]

Oh and also how can I move them without having to hit the buttons a million times?

[gerruit]

Oh and how I can I move them and line them up properly?

[gerruit]

this has been asnswered in the first 2-3 pages! PLEASE READ!

[gerruit]

I just read through the whole thread again for like the 10th time. I don't see anything about where to put icons to use them. Theres not even anything that actually says where to put anything. Just other people popping in and saying put stuff in themes/desktop. I'm sorry but that doesn't give much detail.

theres a folder called themes than ne in there called desktop after you install wisbar advance and WAD... theres nothing else that can be saiD!!!!

[gerruit]

So you just put everything you want on the desktop in the desktop folder.

no you put the files you download in the desktop folder and than click and hold and get in author mode and than once you do that in author mode you go to add shortcut and add the ones you want to be present on your desktop.

you should be fine under the wisbar settings you have the one for portrait and than click on the landscape tab and make sure the landscape part of the theme is loaded.

[egan21]

Ok so I got everything downloaded and I see where to put the files. I drag them over into the desktop themes folder and it says its going to take 7 hours to copy the two folders, wtf? anyone know why its taking so long?

[egan21]

You can ignore my last post...
I do have another question though, when I slide my phone open to landscape it takes for ever to load the theme. It also seems that my phone has slowed down alot... the time it takes to tap on an icon to when it opens is very slow. Is there any way I can speed this up? Finally, when I tap the time on the bottom right hand corner nothing happens...any ideas?
Sorry, one last thing...is there anyway I can get a clock on the desktop so I can see the time without having to tap on anything?
Thanks for the help.

how much RAM memory does this puppy take???

All I have on my phone is a clean version of the kaos rom and maybe 4 progs. I'll prolly just deal with it cause I really like the theme but is there anything that can help speed things up such as some programs or anything?

lemme try... i'll tell u on how it goes. thx for the help :D

edit: um... how come it doesnt show anything? o_O i dont really get the picking up part... how do i do it? :S
nvm i got it, but how come its locked? how do i get to the next page?

[tlpalmer01]

one more last question, when the start menu comes up mine shows the icon over the start menu but in your video it overrides the icons, how in the world did u do that?

never mind just figured it out...........

[killa_ron34]

I've saw the theme and i've installed wisbar advance 3 and working on installing wisbar advance desktop. I downloaded both zip files to my computer but i have no idea what to do with them?

Did u even read??? I bet you just dled the files and didnt read... Your question has been answered throughout this thread! Thats why there is 9 pages! Please read!

[gerruit]

I haven't been able to get mine to work in landscape mode still. I put the landscape folder in the themes\desktop folder but it doesn't work. Also on portrait I keep getting errors for some icons I click. It says it can't locate them. They work at one point and I didn't delete anything? One other thing what was the solution to the icons showing over the menus and stuff?

[tlpalmer01]

when u click and hold on the icon on the desktop there should be an option to send to back, u choose that option and do that on all the icons so when u hit the start menu the icons are in the back....

not sure, mine wasnt locked and not sure about the next page, i can play around with it for a while,,do u mean adding another page, like a virtual page...

[gerruit]

Does anybody know how to add a signal bar meter to the toolbar beside the clock.

go to wisbar than settings.....

[gerruit]

Ok let me just double check on this. I meant on the vista theme taskbar(the bottom taskbar) in case you didn't catch that. I know I can add stuff easily to the top taskbar but what about the bottom vista taskbar.

Alright. I ready all 10 pages of this a few times so I did do my research before posting this. I downloaded WAD and WA3 and installed. I then downloaded the theme files and unzipped them to my desktop. I activesynced and went to My Computer/My Smartphone. When I got here I saw two things, a folder labeled \ and one labeled Storage Card. I clicked on the \ one and saw a folder named Themes. Within that was one named Desktop. i went into the Desktop folder and dragged the MobileVistaWad's and MobileVista folders into the Desktop folder. I did a soft reset and went to Theme Manager under Settings. Under Desktop Theme there is only default landscapes and portraits and Wisbar Theme there is only Crossbow, Custom Theme, and WM5. Did I miss a step somewhere because according to everything I read I did everything correctly. Let me know where I went wrong (if I did). Thanks and i apologize to Dash and anyone else who thinks this is annoying but i appreciate the time and effort you put in to this and would like to have it on my phone. Thanks again.
