ContactBreeze 1.2 released

Amit released version 1.2 of ContactBreeze.

The most important update in it is support for PocketBreeze 5. Read more about it here:

Wisbar Advance again

I get quite a lot emails about the taskpanel icons being misaligned in the Wisbar Advance skins. This is because the latest beta of Wisbar Advance added an eight button to it and I added this to the skins. So, to get it to work you need to install the new Wisbar Advance:

Get it from here: WisbarAdvance

Why do I add skin elements for a beta version? This is because Chris at lakeridgesoftware rarely releseas official versions - but the beta versions are quite stable. Also, the outcry would be far greater if they weren't there. :)

Black&White skin suite updated

I updated the Black&White skin suite to version 2.4.

The biggest changes in this version is support for Pocket Breeze version 5 or higher and meter images for iLauncher. I also added non-extended today themes for people who don't use Pocket Plus (since extended themes won't work on WM5 devices unless you have Pocket Plus installed).

You need to have the PocketBreeze 5 and the latest version of WisbarAdvance2 for the respective skins to work. Also, don't install the skins over old versions since in all the nonVGA skins I've changed the image formats.

I also added Phone Edition version to the VGA WisbarAdvance2 skins for people lucky enough to have VGA phone devices.

You can read more about the skin suite at my site: Black&White skin suite

As usual, all updates are free. You can re-download the file from Handango if you bought it from there, or from the fileserver if you bought it from my site.

Here is a list of all the changes in this version:

Make sure your paypal emails work.

Someone bought the SWDeluxe skin suite yesterday but the persons paypal email address bounced, so I had no way of sending the download information. We had to refund the amount back to the buyer. If you wonder why you got a refund and no download information - that is why.

If you don't have paypal set up with a working address: at least put in the payment comment which address you want the info to be sent to. :)

Download problem - fixed

For people who had problems downloading from the file server: Amit from SBSH moved the files to their main server which seems to work better.

In other news: The Black&White skin suite update is going nicely. I still have to update the QVGA versions :). Here is a preview:

Does your WisbarAdvance taskpanel look strange?

If the icons look misaligned then it is because WisbarAdvance has been updated to have one additional button. Getting the latest version will fix this:

...and a small update to the SBSHDeluxe suite

I added "PocketRSS as a tab inside PocketBreeze" support for the PocketBreeze skin now that I verified it works. :)

Small update to the SWDeluxe skin suite

I added the "PocketRSS inside PocketBreeze" images back to the suite after I figured how to get it to work under PocketBreeze 5. I set PocketRSS as a separate today-plugin, then entered the PocketRSS settings and checked "Use PocketBreeze". :)

SWDeluxe skin suite updated

I updated the SWDeluxe skin suite to version 3.2. The biggest update in this version is support for PocketBreeze version 5 or higher (in fact, the PocketBreeze skin needs version 5 or higher to work). Another big update is iLauncher support with meter images.

As usual the update is free for people who bought the suite. If you bought it from my site you already know how to access the file. If you bought it from Handango you can re-download the file to get the latest version.

Read more about the suite here.

Here are all the 3.2 updates:

VGA:

- added all the new tabs and statusicons of PocketBreeze5
- added a phone edition WisbarAdvance2 skin with signal and phone buttons
- added "softbutton" skinning in the WisbarAdvance2 skin for WM5 devices
- added iLauncher meter images
- added a "NonExtendedThemes" folder with non-Pocket Plus themes
- added moon images and statusicons for PocketWeather (also tweaked the weatherimages)

QVGA (nonVGA):

- changed the PocketBreeze skin to tga format
- added all the new tabs and statusicons of PocketBreeze5
- fixed the signalstrength buttons in WisbarAdvance2

- added a "NonExtendedThemes" folder with non-Pocket Plus themes
- added moon images and statusicons for PocketWeather (also tweaked the weatherimages)

SBSHDeluxe released

Since it has been requested I made a special, trimmed down version of SWDeluxe.

SBSHDeluxe has skins for PocketBreeze (two versions), ContactBreeze, weathericons for PocketWeather and iLauncher meter images. Also included is a WisbarAdvance 2 skin and four today themes. SBSHDeluxe supports VGA and nonVGA (QVGA) resolutions.

This is what is different from SWDeluxe:

- SBSHDeluxe has only skins for SBSH products (PocketBreeze, ContactBreeze, PocketWeather and iLauncher) and a Wisbar Advance skin + four today themes.

- One of the today themes is not present in SWDeluxe, only SBSHDeluxe has it.

- None of the today themes are extended for Spb Pocket Plus (= they are smaller in size and seems to be a bit faster).

- The PocketBreeze skin looks a little bit different, and there are two versions of it

- The Wisbar Advance skin is slightly modified (the buttons are glossier and have reflections).

- It is also smaller in price

For people who already bought SWDeluxe: I am starting to update the PocketBreeze skin to support the new PB5 features today. I'll also add the iLauncher icons to it. It'll take me a day or two to get done with it.
