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.

nopethan should be in there.... manually search for them with thetool in the lower right quadrant of thescreen and pull them up manually through the file explorerbuilt into the program on that screen

[gerruit]

Hey porsche when you go to wisbar settings click on desktop theme, not wisbar theme. Once you go to desktop theme you will see at the bottom left hand corner it says portrait and landscape. You want to select mobile vista for portrait and mobile vista landscape for landscape. Hope this helps.

[Porschefb61]

Im on the screen you were saying but the only options are the default portrait and landscape options. There isnt one that says mobilevista.

[gerruit]

Did you put the files in themes\desktop? That is where they are suppose to be.

[Porschefb61]

I took the folders MobileVistaWAD's and MobileVista (they way they were after unziping them) and just put them in the Themes/Desktop folder. From what I read I know Im not supposed to take the files out of the folders after unzipping....Im supposed to put them in as is. What confuses me is that when I go to the Wisbar settings and go to Desktop Theme it shows the files that came with the program (the default portrait and landscape) which are in the same Themes/Desktop folder

[Porschefb61]

Yea. I put the MobileVistaWAD's and MobileVista folder in the Themes/Desktop folder. The default ones in the same Desktop folder show up but the others dont for some reason.

[gerruit]

Your suppose to open the mobilevistaWAD and put them into the themes\desktop separately not together.

[Porschefb61]

So im supposed to take the two folders out of the MobileVistaWAD's folder and put them in the Themes/Desktop. If thats the case then what do i do with the MobileVista folder?

[gerruit]

Yes you take out the mobile vista portrait and landscape and put into themes\desktop. You really don't need to do anything with the mobile vista for this to work but heres what you do....

Unzip MobileVista

- mobile-Vista-welcome (Cab) -> install on my mobile device
- mobile-vista-calculator-skin (Cab) -> install on my mobile device
- MobileVista.tsk -> Copy paste to *root*/Windows/ and seting as today theme
- MobileVistaWMP11 (folder) -> Copy paste to *root*/ProgramFiles/WindowsMediaPlayer/
- MobileVistaWisbar (folder) -> Copy Paste to *root*/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance 3/

then thats it. It should work after you have done everything I have said here.

[gerruit]

Lol you will want to kick yourself in the butt once you realize how easy it is to install this. I had problems too.

[Porschefb61]

Yea, you know if it was explained like that from the begining then less people would have questions...alright so now that that is done....I went to the theme settings and under portrait highlighted mobile vista and on landscape highlighted mobile vista landscape and pressed ok in the bottom left. Then i set MobileVista as the theme on the today screen. For one reason or another its not coming up right. I tried a soft reset. What did I do wrong?

Edit: I take it back. I just had to run Wisbar. Will it do this on startup or do I have to do something?

[tlpalmer01]

is there a way to put missed calls or voicemail notification anywhere in the system tray or any type of battery meter, i have been googling and have tried several programs to no avail....

Well typically it comes up on startup. It will lockup occasionally and you will have to bring it back up but you just run wisbar again, thats it.

You know I was trying to figure out the same thing and couldn't get it. I switched back to another theme because of that. I love this theme I just wish I was able to have missed calls, battery meter and signal strength right there on the system tray.

[utctigers]

OK
1) i go to theme manager and select the files i copy over from you, both portriat and landscape
2) select ok
3) It will not load the theme for me to edit,


I noticed this when i went to add a new icon for a clock and selected the clock graphics from the ifonz folder of vista images.
