New Version of WisBar Advanced - Pocket PC Phone support etc

[kevjey]

Hi All,
Just to let you know that there is a new version of Wisbar Advanced out V2.4.0.1.

Added translations into multiple languages.
Added support for PocketPC Phone devices.
Added the ability to skin the task panel.
Redesigned the settings program to more user friendly.
Added a plugin framework to extend the program's functionality.
Added the ability to view the My Documents directory on the cascading start menu.
Added the ability to view the PIE Favorites on the cascading start menu.
Added the ability to use colors for the start menu instead of background images.
Added an option to sort the folders in the cascading start menu to the bottom of the list instead of at the top (similar to Pocket Facelift).
Optimized several rendering routines.
Moved the start menu shortcuts into a WisBar Advance subdirectory.
Added an option to hide/show the SIP button on a winder by window basis.
Added support for the "HP Protect Tools" control panel applet.
Added an option to hide the connection icon when the device is not connected to a network.
Added an option to override all of the skin's fonts with a specified font.
Added the ability to search additional directories for themes.
If the current theme is stored on a storage card, WisBar Advance will wait up to 20 seconds for the card to be initialized before continuing with the theme loading.
WisBar Advance 1.x themes are now listed in the themes list. However, when they are applied, they will be imported into the "Custom Theme" settings and "Custom Theme" will automatically be applied.
Added a glow effect for all fonts. Skinners: if you want to use the glow effect, add "glow" (without the quotes) to the font style and set the shadow color to the appropriate color.
Note: Shadow and glow are mutually exclusive. Having both glow and shadow in the font style will cause shadow to take precedence.
Reimplemented the skinned radio buttons and checkboxes.
Added VGA resources for use in SEVGA mode.
When the battery is charging, the battery icon is now animated.
Personally i think this is a fantastic program and would not be without it.
There are some great skins on the lakeridge website and in the Forum's.
This one is Expea by Mickesjo.

This one is Dragon by Buzzard.

Both great skins including today themes, pocket breeze, Weather Panel, psSHUTXP. 8-)
Who could ask for more. 8-)
These are the following Enhancements:
This is well worth giving a try.

Hey thanks for the heads up Kev. (I made a slight change to your formatting so it could go to front announcements. Hope you don't mind.)
I use Wisbar and really like the added functionality of it. The skins are nice too.
I only have one small problem with it. If Activesync is hidden as a task, Wisbar advanced will close or exit every time I sync. :roll: If I list it as an unhidden task it never dies. Small issue I know. Just wish there was a remedy.
Downloading the update now to see if it helps any.
