The theme (WAD2) still has a lot left to be done (top bar, bugs, better launcher, all which are being worked on, and some already done).
Here are the screenshots I have so far:
Launcher:

With task manager open

Weather (details screen in development)

Date/Time

Remember, it is in very early development, so a lot still needs to be done (more screens in next post)
This is my first theme, so go easy on me

Hopefully I will have the first beta uploaded tonight!
Beta is up! Download from Here and follow the included Read Me file.
New screenshots in post 13!

Right now it is being delayed due to problems with WisBar (unable to read registry updates) and from school (tons of work). Maybe next weekend I can work on it a little more.

I can't think of why the reg isn't updating, haven't looked at it, still doing my theme, Spb Phone Suite is what I'm using so far. Must be a bug, I figured those would always read good since it's always updated.

Hopefully the developer can fix it soon so I can get back to work on this. I am also having another problem where docks are randomly deleted... so I'm having a bad time working on this

Looks like a pretty sweet theme I'll keep checking back and give it a shot when it's ready. Thanks for the effort man!

I've added an Audio Manager tab (gets info from HTC Audio Manager, and I hope to add play/pause and album art directly to the tab).

I'm also working on the top bar. If anyone wants to help with the windows icon and sound icons, it would be greatly appreciated!

I've also fixed some bugs, added more details to the weather screen, and should have a beta release by Friday. I am currently using this as my default skin, so it is pretty usable now.

LOL! Tell me about it! I spent over 5 hours one night making a theme, then after 30 minutes of playing with it, docks starting dissapearing, so I soft reset. Then the remaining merged!

You'll get it, this 2.0.1 version is much more reliable. I only really had problems with the initial release.

I just downloaded the newest version (I had an older release for some reason) and everything seems to be working better now (and I have registry updates, yay! )

I hope to have a beta release for you guys on Friday. I have to clean up a bunch of icons and their locations, etc. It will use S2P instead of HTC Audio Manager at first, but I hope to have it use HTC Audio Manager instead soon.
