using ultimate launch i can slide to different tabs. the home tab is blank and less cluttered, if i slide to the weather tab i get the htc home plugin so its not always there.
I'm still trying to figure out a way to get this as a simple install but it might be a step by step tutorial instead. there is A LOT of configuration involved so we will see. It should be available shortly though
it seems much better than HTC home!!!!!
wonderful

Even if i only have 1 icon/tab the bar is still there
looks great waiting for release with simple way

Hallo.
I made this one for you who cant see windows taskbar anymore and get tired of htc Home
All you FIRST need is in the Bluephone-zip file. then you can use my other skins.
My theme just needs vjtoogletodayalphaII and BatteryStatus and a 2 small application to mute the phone/make x button and windows menu enable.
Everything is working: SMS/Email/Missed Calls-Counter; WIFI/BLUETOOTH on/off, mute the phone, a new taskmanager (Batterystatus) etc. You get a new small transparent taskbar with a big taskmanager-button
--) Okay: here we go:1. put the vjtoggletodayalphaII into the windows/Startfolder. Go to Registry: HKLM\Software\Vijay555\VjTodayToggle\ and set the values under "Startsize" und "Softkeysize" to "1". If you need your Softkeys leave/set the sofkeysize to about 26.
2. Install Batterystatus (if you have ultimate launch: it works as a today plugin)
3. Put the folder "SmartUtilities_FilesOnly" to Windows\Program files.
4. Put the File "RegistrySetString.exe" in the "BatteryStatus" folder"
5. Now decide which skin you wantut the bluephone.xml and the folder "bluephone" into the Batterystatus or do the same with greyphone.xml and folder or with Taskbar and Tasbar.xml (u can also put all folders in)
6. Now hold on clicking with stylus on the plugin and choose all rows for showing and choose "lock" rows. AND DONT forget that your new BS-Taskmanager is enable !!!! And choose your SKIN !!!
7. Now you have to do some changes because this is for german version of windows: open the xml u use with your windows editor on your PC or with totalcommander on your ppc:
7.1 you find in the middle a path for: programme\smartutilities_filesonly, change it to program files\....
7.2 you find at the end a path for: "\windows\tmail.exe...." there you see "freenet.de": You can replace this with your own email account. then you can read "Posteingang": replace just this for the english version with "inbox".
7.3 you find there a row with the date like this one - text="dddd, d. MMMM yyyy"- you can change this because this is the european version of date (see picture)
then save the xml file and put it back to your ppc.
- thats it.
- if you like it crazy made more funny sound graphics for you. You find them in "othergraphics", just replace the originals in the Bluephone or Greyphone-folder with them. The wifi/bluetooth icons are with german or english text (on/off-an/aus). Replace them as you like.
- the tabs at the bottom are not part of this, you can find them in my iconthread for Ultimatelaunch.
- FOR THE OKAY BUTTON you must sometimes press your Hardware OK button ! (will find a Solution)
- VGA and Landscape-view dont work. This is just tested with wm 6.0 but should run with wm5
Looks awesome! I'll try it now!
thanks you for your share ;D
Thanx for sharing....nice refreshment for today screen!!
hey very nice!!!....I wonder....is it possible to get the big transparent x button as a stand alone?...I feel like if we could this would enhance a lot of peoples touchscreen experience....let us know!!
mmh, the button you see is a icon that just links to a program called tasklist.exe. This is a part of Batterstatus. It only runnes, i think, if batterystatus is running. So i understand your wish (because it was my wish too) but it wont work without batterystatus.
If you want only my taskbar, i can make you a xml file just with the taskbar.
cool stuff I like the idea and the way you created it
but can you (or someone) make a copy of the iphone taksbar? just the taskbar, not the "desktop" stuff
Is the Smart Utilities the same as this one?This one is already a cab. Could make things easier
(nevermind sry...)
Great looking taskbar created!
Thank you!!!
This is what I was looking for, thanks a lot!!
Downloading now!
bluemetalaxe, congrats, U R really crazy, dude
Nice work, though
Olioaglio
everything looks like promised.
nothing works. not the mute (the "mute" progy doesn't work) not bt 'cose there is no registry key_value="HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Bluetooth" on my phone (maybe 'cose is wm 6.1 ?), not messages. the icon doesn't appear anywhere !
tried to uninstalled it by reversing the steps to install it.
everything went back except the hated windows taskbars and of course i am missing now all the info and settings they were ment for.
i think i'll have to restore a relatively old back-up
suggestions?
[later] got back the wm taskbars. forgot to delete the vjtoggletoday progy. everything back to "normal".
interesting is that the tray launch with the "original" battery status theme, is working. what are the shortcuts to bt and wifi??? didn't you use the same in yr .xlm file?
great work... hopefully there will be more battery themes you can share with us
also how did you make the top bar smaller?
Can you make the bottom tabs part of the same theme? And can I get that headphones grey background?
This looks very cool. Will try it .

as it turns out I do use Batterystatus so yes thank you very much!!...your work here is quite nice....is the clock BS as well?
@tomoffel: If i find time i will try original iphone taskbar. then you have just to repalace the new iphone.xml with the bluephone and some graphics, thats it.
@Vukile: if you install smartUtilities und you find there muteonoff then this will work also. If not, put just my muteonoff in this new folder. you find the backgroundgraphics in your bluephone-folder (take the first 35 pixel of the head1.png= 35x50).
@nothin: i wont buy a iphone cause i cant do such things with that and i have gps and umts on my Polaris And why should WM always look ugly and not be userfriendly, do you use still Windows 95 on your PC ?
@Kukuriku: I`m sorry, tested it on touchcruise wm 6.0 and not on not existing OS There could be trouble with the working of wifi/bluetooth buttons because the registry values depend on wm or some phones.
UNINSTALL IS VERY EASY: Delete vjtoggletoday from your windows startfolder, uninstall Batterystatus, delete the folder with muteonoff.exe. Softreset, thats it.
Cant say anything to BS Traylaunches because i dont use Traylaunch.
@character: can make more themes (a question of time). The topbar is just my graphic with icons and text on it (see in the Bluephonefolder). The original Taskbar is hided by vjtgooles tool. I/You can make it smaler, bigger whatever i want.
@wyzepro: its all just one BS theme/plugin nothing more. The theme has 4 rows (see in the xml file how it works): 1. Taskbar 2. Sound and Clock 3. Date 4.Buttons. I can delete or add rows and buttons as i want.
The tabs at the buttom are part of my Ultimatelaunch theme. I can make them a part of Batterystatus, so that they just open Software,Settings, Internet, Wheater-Program. But everyone has differnt software, or wants to open specific things with that icons, maybe i write a .xml with that and you have to change the xml with links to your software.
EDIT: I sorry, just found a bug im my latest .xml with the Text on the battery-icon. The new .xml will come tonight.
I've cacked open the xml....which files do I delete in order to obtain the large X button you have?
Im sorry dont understand what you want, do you want just the x button and nothing more ? But then you need the original taskbar and will have two x buttons ?
2 Minds sharing one thought, to experiment and create in their lab's. The outcome will always be a new breakthrough in the PPC world of theme's.
More experiments and creations are taking place in the labs, more to come.

Thx for the props, we made it look slick but it was not that simple , took some time for editing files by Showaco and some creative thinking for the theme by me (example MAIL inbox with flag). We've been adding new developments and ideas to make TF3D look different and exciting We hope everyone enjoys. More ideas brewing in the labs
WOW
You guys are geniuses, thanks so much for all you effort and hard work.

yo godzson could you let me know if im doing something wrong.in the mail part of my touchflo on the envelope there are no words.at the top of the envelope i can just make out some of the words but there faded.other then that excellent work as always.me and my wife both have your theme creation on our pros and your fonts and have been waiting on you to hit us with something new.we really appreciate all the work.you and showaco are a mean combination im sorry forgot to say that i have stock rom touch pro and i used the simple cab you provided. i did try uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.thanx in advance bro
Hi!
Looks marvelous!!! I'm realy happy with this..
But I've only got one question. I once made my own theme and I very much like that one too. But I like your top and bottom bar very much..
Could it be possible to make a cab file for me, to install only your beautiful top and bottom bar? That would be superb, cause then I can maybe combine it with my own skin later on..
But don't worry: I'll tell my friends the credit goes to you guys..
Thnks!
Mzl, Floris!
i LOVE it !! Thanks !!!!!!!
erm why can i now only select US-States in weather damn'it I live in germany lol ... can anyone guide me on how to get that back? else its great
i think its related to 7fccb263_manila, right? anyone got that in original? thanks!
Or maybe you could tell me witch files in the CFC zip file are the files which install the top and bottom bar.. that would also be good for me!
Thnks!
the task bar is not part of it, it is a theme for wisbar if I'm not mistaken...

very nice, i like it a lot.
2 problems im having.
i cant read the emails on the email tab, letters look to be white same as the back.
and in the landscape section....programs doesnt work.
oh weather wont update as well.... couple be cause something else im running, not sure.
when i get on my laptop ill check it more... im on the tp
thanks....
also, maybe you guys should add a options section to change the font and the color of the font without having to dowload a new cab. i have some walpaper that i like but dont work well with the current font color. be nice to be able to use the same theme since i do like it but be able to change the wallpaper.
thanks for the hard work guys, awesome
Rocking Theme
Thanks for this. A great team effort and awesome theme.
I only have one small request and it may just be me but I crave colour
Not the fonts just the wallpapers and maybe the icons.
You guys have really outdone yourselves on this one. Keep working together cause this is outstanding.
Maybe the next project could be transparent top and bottom bars?
Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!
This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.
it's just WOW!!
Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.
thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.
hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.
how do you get out of author mode
taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx
here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.
Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark
Looks great !!!
wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~
DOOD JOB!!
Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...
Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...
Steve.
Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!
good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?
I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.
Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.
Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.
***UPDATED 30/10/2010 - NEW VERSION WITH A FEW IMPROVEMENTS - SEE POST 34***
*** UPDATED - SEE POSTS 6 & 7 FOR SCREENSHOTS AND POST 8 FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS ***
Hi all,
Here's an Android theme which I made to use with WAD.
It's the first theme I've created but I thought it turned out pretty well, so I thought I'd share it and see what you think.
It's for WVGA devices (I use a TG01) and is portrait only.
It has:
3 main pages for shortcuts (slide left/right to move between them)
Clock widget
2 menu pages - tap the silver button at the bottom of any main page to slide up to menu page 1, and slide your finger up on that page to access menu page 2.
Slide your finger down to get back to menu page 1 and tap the silver button at the top of menu page 1 to get back to the main screens.
Taskbar with battery, signal, wifi and new SMS notifications.
To install (if you're already using WAD you probably know this anyway, but just in case!!):
Unzip contents and copy the 'WAD Android theme' folder to Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes.
In WAD, tap and hold the screen and select 'change theme' (or 'settings - change theme' depending which version of WAD you have).
A new theme should be listed, if not press menu, then scan for themes to fond it (theme should be called 'original backup')
Tap on this, press menu and select 'set as portrait theme'
Done!!
I also included some other android icons which are not used in the theme, for you to use when making your own changes.
Hope you enjoy it - all feedback welcome.

Thanks for sharing!
tweaks
I've discovered there's a couple of tweaks you'll need to make to this theme, to correct some things:
TIME IN TASKBAR:
This is an hour behind the clock widget and is wrong.
Enter Author Mode and tap and hold on the time.
Tap 'properties',then 'text to display'.
Delete what's in the box, tap 'insert variable' and select 'clock - 12 hour'.
Press 'done' until you are back at the main screen.
BATTERY METER:
Schoolboy error - the meter is decreasing in the wrong direction and looks messed up!!
Enter Author Mode and tap and hold on the battery meter.
Tap 'properties', then 'layout'.
Tick the box labelled 'display in the opposite direction'.
Press 'done' until you are back at the main screen.
Regards,
Wildcardspv
Update
Hi there,
This is a bit of a work in progress, so here is a new version with the above corrections already done, a new wallpaper and now also a slide down bar at the top of the 3 main screens, which opens a notifications screen.
Currently this displays the newest SMS message and gives the option to cycle between next/previous messages, as well as reply to them.
In order for this new version to work, please extract the folders from the attachment and place them on your device as follows:
Android theme: Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes
Message2Reg: My Device/Program Files
Messages: My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs
You will also need to install Mortscript, which is included in the attachment.
Enjoy!!
Wildcardspv
Further update
The notification screen now shows todays calendar appointments, as well as your newest email (currently googlemail - although the email account can be changed), with the option to flick between next/previous emails.
Here's a screenshot of the main screen with the slide down bar at the top, and the notification screen.
I'll uplodad this updated version tomorrow.
Regards
Wildcardspv
Latest version
Hi,
Here's the latest version with a few changes - see screenshots.
What's new?
1) new email icon in the taskbar
2) reply to email option on the notification screen
3) lockscreen with slider
For emails to be refreshed when opening the notifications screen, please place 'Mail Refresh.Ink' in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Messages.
For the digital clock on the lockscreen to work, please ensure that in its script, the 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' is set to be the 'Digital Clock' folder which is included in this attachment.
Any questions, please get in touch.
As always, all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
wildcardspv
Improved lockscreen, plus extra wallpapers
Hi all,
Here's a new version with an improved lockscreen, which now includes a volume control slider, new email, SMS and battery level summaries, and network status (see screenshot).
There are also some extra panoramic wallpapers, to span the 3 main screens. In each folder there are 3 files (BG1, BG2 and BG3) - set them as the wallpaper on the following pages:
Desktop - BG1
1 - BG2
2 - BG3
In the last post I said:
"For the digital clock on the lockscreen to work, please ensure that in its script, the 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' is set to be the 'Digital Clock' folder which is included in this attachment."
In reality you'll find that once the them is installed and applied, the digital clock won't appear on the lockscreen.
To get it, enter Author Mode and add a clock. Choose 'HTC Home' as the type, and then under 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' set this to be the 'Digital Clock' folder from the previous attachment.
Hope that makes sense!!!
I wish I could create cabs to make this easier for you!!

All required files
For the avoidance of confusion, here are all the required files.
and if i dont have WAD installed?!?1 can i still use it? sorry im a n00b at this, i just bought my HD2 but already using froyo on it still i wanna use winmo though!!
Sorry my friend, but this theme is specifically for Wisbar Advance Desktop - without running WAD you can''t use it I'm afraid.

mmm and how do i install it?? is it too much trouble?? i dont wanna screw my HD2...
thanks for the reply
Amazing them + (too?) regularly updated!
But to update the first post would really help.
Anyway, Thank you wildcardspv!
idlehands,
What do you want to install?
WAD -> google
This them -> explained in first post, even if it is the last cab that is to be used.
I like it, but shortcuts don´t work and i have to place all them.
Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback guys
@ idlehands - Like Sener said, see earlier posts for install instructions, also check http://forum.lakeridgesoftware.com/showthread.php?t=16492.
It won't mess up your phone but if you find that you don't like the theme, uninstall WAD and ensure that afterwards the following folder has been deleted:
My Device/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop.
It's always a good idea to soft reset afterwards too.
@ bibiteri - I use a TG01, running KevinPWhite's ROM (TG01_KPW100618.005)
I presume you use a different device or a TG01 with a different ROM?
I guess the shortcut paths may be different on other devices/ROMs, but at least WAD makes it easy to add/edit/delete shortcuts and make them how you want them
I know. Don´t worry.
I have a topaz, htc touch diamond 2, and an energy rom.
Thank you.
What is WAD?
EDIT-- NEVERMIND
I'm trying to test it on my TP2. With WAD 4.0.4, I followed the instructions and copied all the dir around, I go to settings and themes but can't see the your theme.
Have you tried settings>>change theme>> menu>> scan for themes?
Also ensure that the Android theme folder is placed into Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes, BUT do this on the same memory (phone/storage card) as you have installed WAD
(EG if WAD is installed to storage card, place the Android theme folder into
Storage card/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes)
Hope this helps . . .
tanx for ur work. do u have any plan to make it for other resolutions? like QVGA?
i rely want to test it
Can I use this with the free version(trial) of Wisbar?

TOTALLY NEW VERSION AVAILABLE
-- Check the video preview at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7WV5PheWX8 --
TO INSTALL
Copy 'Desire 6 page + menus theme' folder to Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes.
Open WAD, enter settings menu, change theme (if theme is not listed choose scan for themes) highlight 'Desire 6 page + menus theme', menu - set as portrait theme, apply.
Enter WAD settings menu, weather, and set the small/medium/large icon sets to those attached to this post. Leave icon type set to Weatherpanel/Pocket weather.
The wifi toggler, BT toggler Radio on/off (fligt mode) and call history shortcut are included just in case you can't already create shortcuts to these options using standard WAD commands.
The Text Back folder contains shadowing to place behind text under your shortcuts, to look a bit more android-ey.
The Power Control Widget folder contains all the images I made for it, in case you want to change them.
That should be it!!!!
I like this better then the original theme, if you have any questions please let me know and as usual, all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
wildcardspv
EDIT:
In this version, I disabled 'slide to change pages' in WAD, because when trying to slide up to access the page selection screen, it was really difficult to do so.
I much prefer to have the 'slide to change pages' function active as it makes using the theme see more fluid, so since uploading the theme, I've re-enabled it and set the properties of the taskbar (at the top) to 'switch to page' (page is called 'page select') when the taskbar is tapped.
This is much easier to use and I wish I'd thought of it before uploading the theme!!
If you prefer sliding between pages, try making this change too.

Oh yeah,
On any dock (except weather forecast) press the downward arrowhead in the circle (bottom left button) to exit author mode, and press home to close the dock.
Fonts
Here's some extra fonts to use as well.
extract the files from the .rar and copy them to Phone Memory\Windows\Fonts.
The one used throughout this theme is Droid Sans.
Regards,
wildcardspv.
EDIT: Fonts are now attached to post 2, along with the theme itself.
Updated version, plus video
Here's a new version with some slight tweaks and improvements.
After installing this version, Enter WAD settings menu, weather, large icon set, point this to the 'WeatherIconsLarge folder'. Leave icon type set to Weatherpanel/Pocket weather.

I like WAD very much,but for HD2,A frozen,broken or pink wallpaper often happens! To be or not to be, it's a question,WAD or HD2, it's a question,too!
I didn't use WAD untill see your theme. Great work, I'll try it! Thanka a lot!
Wad haves so many problems and bugs I cant even use this theme.
Sherri1023 - That's a shame, i've honestly never had a problem with WAD
Vagrantman - I hope this works for you. Don't forget to disable touchflo/sense on a htc device if you're using WAD
Thanks this is great! I love the android look, so im a big fan of this! I can tell alot of works been put into this so thanks alot
