This is a work in progress. Each day brings new ideas, new ways of approaching things, and new releases from Chris. I will be constantly updating this theme with all the additions Chris implements into WAD and WBA.

Ok, I have no idea where to begin so lhere goes:

about:

A Mac OS Style skin which tries to emulate the best features of the "The world’s most advanced OS" by Apple Computers.

This theme is jam-packed with extras. Wallpapers, icons, lables, stickies, and more. To be honest, it is more than any one person will need, but I wanted to make sure I catered to almost every persons taste.

About the placement of the bar on top: I moved it down for a number of reasons;

1. To look better with ANY wallpaper

2. to fit SPB's(or any other) bar meter

3. it's not like it is usable space anyway

And no, I am sorry, but I will not be moving it back up. There's really no reason for it and I am not making it any wider or it will ruin the look and feel as well as the realism.

Changes:

*added spotlight icon

*added wallpaper

*added lables

*added dashboard

*added real icons

*added widgets

*added new imagery

*added new dock background and sizes

*updated dock

*updated finder window

*updated finder bar

Fixes:

*removed shadowing on Finder bar for uniformity with any wallpaper

*removed indicator from dock for uniformity

Help:

Please read the ENTIRE README.txt file on how to install.

This is VERY important.

You MUST read the README.txt file.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You NEED to change the values in the default.skin file located in the Built-in StorageThemesDesktopDefault folder.

To do this is simple...

Open the file in notepad

choose 'edit' then 'replace'

in the 'find what' box type or paste in 'Built-in StorageTiger'

in the 'Replace with' box, type in the EXACT PATH to where you put the theme files. This can be anything, like 'CF CardTheme' or 'SD CardTiger' or any path you desire.

THE THEME WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE THESE VALUES

I reccomend you choose to put the files on a storage medium to save your system memory.

*QVGA versions coming in the next few days*

*post content may be editted...check back for updates*

Notes:

The theme opens as the default Mac OS look and feel.

It is a simple setup with only one desktop icon(with lable), a Dock, a Finder window, and Dashboard loaded in the background.

This is the same way a Mac would look(except the 'label' and games folder) when it is clean booted.

This theme can be large if you choose to upload the entire contents of the compressed file, but you may choose which items to install/upload to your PDA. I reccomend only uploading what you NEED.

Due to the fact that I do not own a PDA with a phone, I did not fully update any imagery in the WBA portion of this theme. I give full permission for those of you with Phone devices to post any updates or edits as you see fit. As it stands, it does contain phone items, but some things maye have changed since the last time I created these images.

Have fun and post your thoughts, reactions, bugs, fixes, and ideas.

And please---HELP EACH OTHER. I may not always be here to answer questions.

Thanks,

Duckie

I gave the task to someone else who never got back to me.

Since I dont have a QCGA device and I am not installing an emulator to do it, you have my permission to convert it if you like.

DELETED : Download links Below

#340697

Just out of interest Duckie, but how far did you get with the 'iTunes' skin for wmp??

#340733

I also hope that someone will make a QVGA verion of this skin for WisBar Desktop.

I made an iTunes Mini skin for the QVGA version of WMP. I can release it if anyone is interested.

#340742

I have completed the wisbar desktop will post as soon as possible!!

#340876

This is concrete how to use?

#340879

Hi, as mentioned earlier, i have fully completed the skin (a few minor bugs but nothing major!). But, i do not have anywhere to host it as its to big to host on aqua-soft. There has been lots of intrest in the qvga version so if someone could email me (rayers@gmail.com) i would gladly send them the file to host. In the meantime, if you wish to have the qvga version email me and i will send you the file. Please host it for me as its a lot of hassal ffor me to keep sending atachments in emails.

Thanks,

Jack
