Longhorn Desktop Mod for 680E

I am looking for this desktop shell mod



anyone able to help me?

Basicly you need a program what can do it There is one (can't remember what is called) C:Aime has done it look for the desktops thread I think he posted it in there, shame he lost it though I'd like to put it on my J720

The application is called Wisbar, and you would need a 2.11 build of it even if I had the skin graphics to hand.

Wisbar, thats it thanks C:Aime. The best way would be to get a Longhorn themes pack then get a screenshot of your desktop, then just split the screenshot up into individual images.

OK boys and Girls.

2.11, as close to Longhorn as I can.



You can download it from the Themes section for HVGA and VGA.

where's the longhorn wallpaper to go with that bar?

I assume you mean LH Bliss, figured I'd use the 5060 build one from WinHEC instead

C:Amie ... how did you manage to get transparent backgrounds on the icon's labels? something that wisbar does?

It's a registry hack.

There is a program called DeSappear which will do it for you. You can get it in the Downloads Section.

kool... useful little app, made me think CE had crashed though when I removed the background image... heheh

Well here it is on my 680e

desappear won't work on my 720/728. it just messes up my desktop! it's for wince 2.11 afaik...

so if desappear sucks, there's the reghack:
HKLM/System/GWE/
SysColor
and there edit the 5.-6.-7.-8. hexa (pay attention!) to FF FF FF FF.
softreset
that's all

i already know it by heart

oh yeah and if you couldn't find SysColor then go to Appearances in desktop properties and edit there something... it helped me at least

Arm version works on my 720, like you I use regedit

now that's interesting. why does my 720 behave differently. surely the manual reghack is better

Neat!

I don't suppose there's a MIPS/CE2.11 version that'd let me skin my MobilePro 880 that way....
