Dashboard skins

from WinCustomize Forums
Can anyone tell me what a Wisbar is and where I get the software for it? I went to the website suggested..I may be reeeaal dumb but but I couldn't understand it.

Wisbar is a utility that allows you to skin the titlebar in the PocketPC OS. It also (depending on the skin) gives you a close button to close running apps. Dashboard actually skins the Today page, and is configured to work with Wisbar to skin the Today page and the titelbar to match. Here is a link to the site to get Wisbar http://www.walkers.ne.jp/ww/wisbare.html
A good site to get integrated dashboard/wisbar skins is Somara.com. Make sure you download the correct version for your cpu. If you have an ipaq download the ARM version, Jornada=SH3, CAsio (MIPS) Hope this helps

Thank you so much...that website was much easier to read than the other one. Wish me luck, I'm real new at this.

There are a few good programs available that skin your PocketPC:

1) Dashboard will skin your today page.
2) Wisbar can skin the Title bar
3) PocketBlinds can skin your title bar, push buttons, and menus.

If you want to give PocketBlinds a try, it's at:

Pocketblinds isn't quite stable yet...and I am still waiting for scrollbar-skinning and other "essentials".

Are there any plans to get Pocketblinds and Dashboard to play well together, like it does with Wisbar and Gigabar?
