WISBar available for download again - with source code
http://www.walkers.ne.jp/
WISBar, one of the most popular Start bar skinning apps, has been made available for download again after several months of being offline. Apparently the author of the progam has fallen on bad health - we wish him the best and a full recovery.
In the mean time though, he has stated that he won't be making any updates to WISBar in the near future, but has posted the source code so someone with a bit of talent can pick up where he left off.
Thanks to Tekguru for the heads up.

Amen to that. Now let us honor this developer by diving into the code, and extend wishes for a speedy recovery.

I haven't used WisBar since going to a PPC2002 device. How well does it work and is it worth it? Will it host the new notification icons?

That is the only reason I don't use WISBar on my PPC 2002 device - the notification icons are hidden. :cry: If it were updated to provide all of the PPC 2000 functionality and include support for the notification icons, I'd install it again in a heartbeat.

I hope somebody modifies it for PPC2002. I tried it on my 3835, but it later disabled my sound. Has that happened to anybody else? Uninstalling Wisbar didn't bring it back, so I eventually had to do a hard reset (first time ever on my ipaq :cry: ).

WisBar on 2002
I use it. First thing I installed after upgrading to the new OS.
I don't know if WisBar is the culprit, but I found inconsistency in sound / muting on my iPAQ under the old and new OS's.
I really think of WisBar as an integral part of my PPC experience. It is a great little app that I've been using since its very early release.
I, too, thank the developer (in Japan, I believe) and wish him well. If he asked for compensation for his wonderful little app, I'd be at the front of the line.

I'm also sorry to hear that the developer is unwell and wish a speedy recovery.
Good to see that open source was chosen rather than leaving Wisbar to stagnate.
