Comment: This build of Lakeridge's head product, Wisbar Advance Desktop, offers the widest range of customizations for your today screen. Unlike similar programs, this one gives you just objects and it's up to you how the theme itself will look, since you're not limited to any grid and everything is fully and easily skin-able. Usually, themes contains one main page with links (buttons) to another pages, for example weather or diary page. This is not in fact a today plugin, but an overlay-application and that's why sometimes it tends to close itself. I've found out that latest Opera releases are often closing WAD and vice versa. Anyway, you may add any desktop plugins (to any vertical position) to any page, variable or registry texts, buttons and images, weather icons, but even sliders or notifiers and status icons. This build is finally almost bug-free, and no item disappeared when I tested. Weather icons and notifiers, which were problematic before, are fine now. Smoothness mostly depends on number of items put on page, my theme with tens of elements was still running quite fast. Developer also included a "low-memory" mode for reducing the amount of memory used, but I didn't notice any performance improvement. If you're creative, at least a little bit, and you know what you want, you can create your very own theme with ease. Otherwise, you may choose from a vast theme library at official forum.
Required storage memory: WM5 - 5569 KB / WM6 - 5532 KB

Test On WM6.5... test on WM6... works great without bug...
nice release Broad...

Manual:
Step 1 - When you run you Wisbar Desktop copy for the first time, you see nice pre-installed theme. However, you can (and it's expected that you do) change, delete or add everything, scale starts with background and ends with custom sliders, grids and meters.
Step 2 - There are two ways changing the theme, either create you own or just download already developed (and usually heavily tested by community) skin from official forum. You can change theme by tap&hold on WADesktop, selecting Settings and pressing Change theme button. Assuming you've already installed the downloaded skin, just select it from list and set it as Portrait or Landscape, or both. If you can't see your theme, click on Scan For Themes. If neither this helps, you have to reinstall the theme, sometimes different location fixes issues.
Step 3 - Second way to customize you WAD is creating you very own theme. Just once again go to the Change theme menu, but now press the New Theme. Name it and don't forget to select it as Portrait/Landscape again.
Step 4 - Now you have just black&blank screen. We'll start with adding button to demonstrate how WAD works. Tap&hold on empty space (now everywhere since it's clear) and select Author Mode. Unless that you can't add elements nor move with them. Again t&h and see that tons of new options are available. For now click on the New. List of stuff that can be added is also vast, now we are going to create button as a simplest demonstration of usage.
Step 5 - You must define a Normal Image Path, that's shown normally, and optionally Pressed Image Path, that will be shown instead when pressed. To set what button do, click Edit Script, but don't worry, you don't have to write any code (unfortunately, it's not even possible).
Step 6 - This part is called Script Editor. You can add commands and order them. Higher runs before the ones at bottom, following command runs only when previous is completed.
Step 7 - Now just select action you want to assign to your button, for example Launch Application or Phone - Missed Call List, and click Done first time to return to Script Editor, second time close it and finally for the last time to close Button options
Step 8 - You can click your button and it will run the script you've entered. T&h on your Button element shows new menu. Move allows to precisely set item to position using d-pad, Bring to Front and Sent to Back are moving order of layers (the higher the more visible). Pinned is used for pinning element to all pages (will be described in Step 13).
Step 9 - We will overlook the Dock element, so add one to your current theme. You have to define the Name of dock, its used for hiding/showing it. Align is obvious, sets if dock should be docked on left, right, bottom, top or floating. As nearly every item, also Dock has the Script button (see Step 6 and Step 7). Hide the dock by default means whether the dock should be hidden when WAD starts or not. Hide after executing shortcut automatically hides dock after item is clicked. Image or Color needs no explanation.
Step 10 - Dock can hold other items which are moved, hidden or showed altogether. You for example may set your button's script to Dock - Toggle and then whenever you click it, selected dock either disappears or appears.
Step 11 - All the addable elements have similar options, image, pressed image and script, but some vary, for example Grid, but who knows English can easily understand what is each option for.
Step 12 - In the end, we can't not mention Pages. Try adding one by t&h on blank part of your theme and click Page and select New. New page with parameters as the one created from is here. Change it's name by getting the Page menu but now select Properties.
Step 13 - Page Name sets name of the page which is used it Text - WAD Page Name element, but also as a pointer for Script - WAD Switch to Page. D-Pad Support disables or set function for arrows/dpad on your device. Pinned Items, as already said, are visible on all pages, however you may 'unpin' them from certain page by unchecking them in this dialog. Gestures can work as iPhone page sliding or custom scripts for sliding stylus to top, right etc. And the very last tip: if you want to hide the top most windows bar, t&h on blank piece of WAD and select Page - Taskbar.

install just outright failing on my sprint touch pro. 2.1.6 installs though... weird.

Thanks. Downloaded, installed and tested for a couple of hours. It is extremely flexible and great for those who like to customise. Need lots of effort (for me anyway) to setup/customise. I very much prefer Sbp Mobile Shell and will stay with it; awaiting the release of the new V3.0.

New one Ver 2.2.0.1 is out



Fixed a crash that occurred when exporting a theme.

When the screen is rotated 180 degrees into "upside down portrait", the tabbar and docks will render correctly.

When tapping on the "Remove" button on a grid, if the grid is on a dock and the dock is set to hide after an object has been tapped, the dock will not hide.

Fixed the scrolling in grid objects.

Optimized the grid rendering.

The TouchFlo plugin should no longer be listed as a plugin for WAD.

When manually moving items, the coordinates now appear in the center of the item.

When using the "%NetworkDesc% text variable, if the user is not connected to a network, no text is displayed.

Fixed a bug where the Agenda objects would not display "No appoinments" if there were no appointments to display.

Added an option to change the color of the date background in the Agenda object.

Added an option to turn off the scrollbar in the Agenda object.

Fixed a bug where the "%Unread:%" variable would not retrieve the Outlook unread count.

Fixed a rendering issue in the Agenda object.

Fixed the transparency issue in docks.

Optimized the rendering of docks and made them more stable.

When listing controls in the "Reload Object" command, if a button has display text, the text will be displayed instead of the filename of the image.

Made a change to make the program more fault tolerant.

Modified the "Image" object to more reliably download images from the web.

Added a commandline to "processes.exe" to defrag the memory (no message is shown when using it this way). To use it, please use the following commandline:
"\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\processes.exe" --defrag
Made it possible to delete a slider where the background and slider images are the same dimensions.

Made a change to make the entering and leaving page scripts more reliable.
