Wisbar Advance 2.6.0.1 is out!

Version 2.6.0.1 Enhancements

• Added a "Desktop" option to the cascading start menu. This can be skinned by adding "Desktop Icon=" to the "[Start Menu Skin]" section.
• Lightened up the start menu sublevel image on the WA Default theme.
• Added the Latvian language.
• Added the Galego language.
• Added logging (enabled through the registry) for determing where the lockups occur on some devices.
  
  Bugs Fixed
  
• Fixed a bug where the Close/OK shortcut could close the WisBar Advance Desktop.
• Fixed a bug where the "Please Wait" skinned object required a full path instead of a relative path.
• Made a small speed adjustment to the cascading start menu.
• Fixed a bug where sublevels in the cascading start menu did not get the appropriate color settings (when not using images for the background).
• The phone signal strength for Flight Mode is now detected properly (on WM5 devices).
• Fixed a bug where the cascading start menu did not scroll correctly after switching between landscape and portrait.
• Made a correction to the battery/memory meter so it will pick up the correct color.
• Fixed a bug where the SIP button would not display properly in Weather Panel's settings dialog.
• Rewrote some of the skinning code in an attempt to speed up the UI.
• Made a change to "play more nicely" with Sprite backup.

I've been running the previous version for a while now on WM5 (x51v) and it runs great. The only thing that was slow was the cascading start menu, but i turned mine off (set to normal start menu) and ive had zero problems. Ill update now and see if the cascading is faster.

But it definitely ran quick as it was in the previous update.

Thanks for the update.

Maybe I'll give WA2 another try. V2.5 was too slow for my liking. Maybe it was the cascading start menu causing the problem though.

Yep there seems to be an improvement.. on my axim it takes less than a second to show the start menu now so it is at a usable speed.

The only thing id like to see added to this program is the ability to add folders to the cascading start menu. Thatd be helpful for me to find documents easily without going into a file explorer.

Also I'm not sure if its just me or what, but the cascading start menu doesnt really show the MOST recent programs... just the ones that were recent before WisBar loaded. Anyone else have this issue and/or know a fix?

I just upgraded, Ah, not so different in speed, but I have always been Wisbar Fan! :approve:

Here's a screenshot of my setup using Wisbar and the Silverado Theme:

Just did the 2.5 to 2.6 upgrade.. and it's visibly faster now. On system start, or if I'd left the PDA alone for a bit, it'd take about 2-3 seconds to load up the start menu, with the responsiveness of the menu unaffected by the initial lag after the first time accesing the Start Menu. Now... it's much faster for me. As tinyballz reported, I got my menu up in about a second, without the visible lag of the previous 2.5 version, which itself was a hair faster than 2.4.

Chris did it again. :D And it's probably just you - my Cascading Start shows the most recent programs for me... and it's very

Hi,
I'm using WA2 and Silverado skin too...but how did you get rid of the two "soft-key" menu at the bottom and replace with that status bar? Thanks.

The update is a noticeable difference.

Answer: You Don't with WM5. He's using an x50v with 2003SE, according to his profile there. :D

What app are you using for the "Apps 1", "Apps 2" and "Apps 3" tabs, and how do you like it? I don't think it is cLauncher, is it?

It is sbsh iLaunch. WA2 and iLaunch makes a great combo. I highly recommend it :)

Like moving thru peanut butter on the x51v. I prefer speed over eye candy.
