Black&White updated




I updated the Black&White skin suite. Lots of features have been added to the programs it skins since it was released but now the suite is up to date.

I also added a bonus White&Black WisbarAdvance2 skin and today theme (for both nonVGA and VGA):



If you bought the suite from Handango you can redownload it from there for free. If you bought it from my site you already know where to get the update. :)

Here is a list of what has been updated:

Version 2.3

- Skinned taskpanel for the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- Changed the checkbox and radiobutton images for the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- changed the volumebubble image for the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- did small modifications here and there in the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- added a "long menubar" skin (useful for many icons in the menubar, or for using other today themes)
for the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- added a bonus "White&Black" Wisbar Advance 2 skin
- added a bonus "White&Black" extended today theme
- redid the Spb Pocket Plus icons in all the today themes
- completely redid the PocketBreeze and ContactBreeze skin (now in tga format)
- added support for custom tab in the PocketBreeze skin
- added support for the PocketRSS tab in the PocketBreeze skin
- skinned "contacts search keys" for ContactBreeze (have to be selected in the PB settings)
- added "moon", "mini" and "mini moon" images for the WeatherPanel skin
- modified the WeatherPanel weather icons so that the background is slightly darker to match
the overall look of the skin suite better
- added a WeatherPanel theme
- added PocketWeather icons

- Skinned taskpanel for the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- tweaks and modifications here and there in the Wisbar Advance2 skin
- added a "long menubar" skin (useful for many icons in the menubar, or for using other today themes)

- added a bonus "White&Black" Wisbar Advance 2 skin (with a Phone Edition version)
- added a bonus "White&Black" extended today theme

Hi Juni-

I really like the update! I always thought B&W was a good looking suite, but I did find it to be a little too dark for my taste. But, now, with White & Black, I'm very pleased. It's just the right combination of light and dark elements for the screen! Thanks again.

Purchased the B&W suite and loved it!
It's my favourite PocketPC download now since I see it every day. Recently, I purchased Wisbar, PocketBreeze, ContactBreeze and almost PocketWeather (trial) but considering Weather Panel just because of your B&W skin suite I bought. You deserve something from those software companies you indirectly (more powerfully) promote. It's likely I'm going to purchase PocketRSS (trial) to replace Journal Bar but I'm hesitating because I have no Stock Monitoring software to replace it with. Yes, I now also factoring software purchases based on how it integrates with your B&W skin now! ***hint, hint*** =) As an artist, I can appreciate the work (attention to detail) you have put into these skins. Much apreciated and thanks Juni!!!

Thank you :).

I do get something from the companies, Amit from SBSH is helping with hosting the files (although no strings attached), Vassili from SBSH is very helpful when it comes to skinning questions (and keys for new software). :)

I bought B&W from your site sometime ago, but I lost the downloadlink. Any chance I can get it back somehow? I really enjoy the skin and also just purchased the Navigator one (awaiting it eargerly)
Most skins aren't worth paying for, but yours really are magnificent.

No worries Juni, I already got the link when you sent me the one for my resently purchased Navigator skin. After using Navigator, I don't even think I'll switch back to B&W that often ;)

Kinda new to wisbar and I have a few problems with the skin. I'm running it on my hx4705 VGA. The icons on the task menu are kinda unaligned. It's showing half of one icon and another half of another icon for each line: desktop, settings, exit....etc. Another question is how can you change the icon for custom buttons on the menu bar. I put a button that would turn off my PDA and would like that button to use the "power" icon. Please enlighten me on this matter. GREAT JOB! the skin is beautiful. Well worth the $5!
