H/PC Desktops Thread

I've successfully made a wisbar skin for my H/PC, the skin is just like XP's default theme (Luna). here's the screenshot for it. The wallpaper is adapted from XP's "bliss" wallpaper.

i just copied and pasted the taskbar pics into wisbar.

BTW a question: does anybody know of a version of wisbar that will run in H/PC Pro units, i'd like to have this theme in the j680. i've been using gigabar, but it's themes are just ugly

cool hehehe

Ok so what am I doing wrong? I can't get wisbar to work, it runs ok, but what do I do now?

Nick

run wisbarsetup, in the various tabs you'll find the config options

I get this: http://www.nickcharlton.org.uk/capt.bmp (to big to upload and on my HPC)

Thanks,

Nick

perhaps you should use the following dll's from Piddle PCs DocList (6.5 kb), aygshell (16.5 kb), mfcce300 (404 kb) and olece300 (254kb).

Hope this helps

Nope got all of them in the WIS Bar dir,

If you use messenger, contact me at pika007 [at] hotmail [dot] com, i may be able to send you a modded cab that will suit your needs

Hope this helps

BTW I'm talking about MSN messenger. . It's just an example of how the brand eats the product. now (almost) everybody talking about messenger talks about MSTF's one

I'm with Beeker - just can't get Wisbar to work
I've tried the Pelmar and the Tillansoft installs and both just give me a dark blue taskbar with no start menu. If I use the windows key I can get into the Programs menu and click on Wisbar to get an options menu, but clicking on Settings doesn't get me anything. I have to exit Wisbar at this point. If I try to run wisbarsetup.exe I get a "Cannot find 'WisBarSetup' (or one of its components)" error. Maybe I just need the dlls you mentioned, MatrixCore, but where do I get them?
I've got a MobilePro 790 - that's HPC 2000 and Mips (as if you didn't know)
Matrixcore - I like that big Start button that you have - I've tried Gigabar and just couldn't stand the little start menu that all the skins have.
Thanks!

Are you guys using default / Pocket PC skin files?
They may be drawing incorrectly if you are.

yobyeknom:
search for hexediting in the forum, MIPS dll's are here: http://izemize.fw.hu/mips.zip

Cmonex - I got the dlls (thanks!) and have placed them in the WIS Bar directory, but get mostly the same results. The only difference being that I get a Fatal Application Error when starting WIS Bar and when attempting to use the wisBarSetup.exe.
I have looked in the forums for hexediting and have downloaded a hex editor, opened the WisBar files, the dlls and such, but I don't even know where to begin.
C:Amie - I'm using the default everything as far as I know - I can't get into the settings menu - it gives me that same Fatal Application Error.
Thanks again for any help here

Just an update...
I did manage to alter the mips CAB file with the hexeditor to reflect the proper dll names - changed references for the mfcce300.dll to 301 likewise with the olece300.dll to 301.
After installing I put the dlls in the wisbar directory and...still the same results.
Am I doing this right? Beause I still don't get a menu when I click the Wisbar settings!

ack!

sorry to hear it's not working
hexedit olece.dll itself too (it refers to itself!), other than that no idea for now.. i don't have a mips machine. but i can try hexediting myself, and will post the hexedited installer later, maybe that can help.

I got it working! Must've missed one of those dlls in the cab file before.
I'll post a screenshot later.
Thanks for the help!
