Windows Vista Portable Edition
High Resolution (VGA) Edition
The last Vista skinsuite i will be making, unless i find some real inspiration again.
About
This skinsuite is made around Windows Vista, Microsoft's next major OS release. This skin is mainly based around Wisbar Advanced Desktop (WAD), but has skins for a variety of your favorite programs and applications.
Disclaimer
This is not an OS. It is a skinsuite, based on Microsoft's upcoming Windows OS, Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm) Vista(tm).
Windows Vista is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation and I have no deal with them, nor do i have Microsoft's official permission to release this skin, but i hope they will see this as a tribute to their great new Windows design.
Features
Wisbar Advanced 2
The Wisbar Advanced skin included in this skinsuite is a very complete skin with all elements skinned that WBA2 can currently skin.
It's also one of the first skins with a Custom Notification System.
That means you'll see an icon appear in the taskbar that represents the actual event/system notification (examples below).
From left to right: New Network, Normal Notification, Sync Error, Mail Message Sent, New Mail Message
This WBA2 skin consists of a main theme with three substyles:
- AERO
- AERO (Dark Edition)
- AERO Express
From left to right: AERO (Dark Edition), AERO, AERO Express
There are three skins files, so three skins will appear in WBA2's skin selection dialog. The names of these skins are the same. In the skin's info under Notes, you can see which substyle you've chosen.
The skin also has a sound theme based on un-official Windows Vista sounds. They are quite nice and fit well with the Windows Vista design (so select WVPE as your skin, shutdown WBA2 and restart. Don't forget to crank up your device's volume
Last but not least, this skin supports Phone Edition devices. It comes with icons for signal strength icons, incall icons and a dedicated volume bubble (AERO Express style). Plus, there are icons in the custom notifications skin for Missed Calls, Incoming Calls, Calls on Hold, etc.
PocketBreeze
PocketBreeze comes with some custom icons, and has a skin for PocketRSS and ContactBreeze inside.
Windows Media Player
Weather Panel (by the great Ken S)
A copy of this skin is included in the main skin pack.
Wisbar Advanced Desktop
The biggest part of this skinsuite is the WAD skin. This skin includes a big icon library, a collection of Windows Gadgets, Windows (docks), Sidebar, Analog clocks and interface images (startmenu, etc).
It's enough (maybe even more then enough) to give your PDA a Vista look.
And i want to see some custom made WAD desktops!
Extras
Every skin has some extras. This skin is no exception. It comes with skins for the following applications
- X50Mix
- Pocket Secure
- psShutXP
- Three SBSH Clock skins (last minute add
)
- 2 Wallpaper packs (total of 40 Wallpapers)
Pocket Secure skin
X50Mix
