<a href="http://www.pelmarinc.com/pocketpc.htm">http://www.pelmarinc.com/pocketpc.htm</a><br /><br />Humphrey informed us that a new beta version of WISbar is released by Pelmar. If you're looking for a free task switcher/killer that enhances the functionality of your navigation bar, you should check out this software, that received a Pocket PC 2002 award.<br /><br />The new features are:<br />• Added ability to display next appointment by tapping the time/date. Getting the menu is accomplished by tapping and holding on the menu (PPC2k2 only). <br />• Restructured settings dialog so that all icons are in a single tab. <br />• Added a connection icon (only displays whether or not there is a connection). <br />• Added a skinnable battery/memory meter. I've listed the colors that should be used when creating the graphics. Each color will be filled with either green or red, depending on the current battery/memory status.

This is absolutely the best thing I've put on my PPC. It's what I've been looking for for weeks. Tried Gigabar... hated it. Love this.

thanx!

I just d/l it and installed on my e740. The icon for my wireless connection is missing/blank. There is a place for it, and tapping there brings up the on/off selections, but it just isn't visible.

I was happy to reinstall it after a long absence. I used it on my PPC2000 device but after the original creator quit and it didn't support pop-up bubbles i found it to be more trouble than it was worth.

Glad to see it's back to being a world class solution.

I have really enjoyed WisBar. In installed the beta and it gives me an Application Error.

Program: wisbar.exe
Exception: 0xc0000005
Address: 000148d0

:(

This in on a Jornada 567.

pmradio,

Some people have experienced this also, in the meanwhile you can simply use a registry editor and delete the wisbar registry settings and all will be ok. I think uninstalling wisbar before installing the new beta 4 might resolve this also. We will correct this in the next release. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Umm, you know, I could of read the note just below the screenshot. :oops: I see it now and it plainly states what you just said. Sorry, and thanks for the reply!

Hi,

just to let you know: I tried uninstalling and then installing the new beta and this will not prevent the error-message. So, you will have to delete the WIS registry key manually ...

Cheers,

Oliver

I really like what pelmar has done with wisbar, keep up the good work guys. That said, I have been using icbar, another wisbar variant, and it is wonderful, does everything that pelmar's does and much more. I highly reccomend it.

Still getting the error message and cannot find the entry in the registry to delete. Where would Wisbar entry be located ?

Well still get error message even after deleting old version, manually deleting registry entry and installing new beta version. Finally ended up reinstalling fersion 1.1 which works perfectly. Any ideas ????

i went to the site and tried to download the latest beta version...but it says: That file [] is not available for download.
Please contact Ictinus.

Hmm, that's odd. I just downloaded the newest version about two weeks ago. Give an older version a try if you can, the changes were not drastic and it will give you a good feel for the program.

Where do I find icbar? Love Wisbar and are using it, but misses the message and connection-icons, and aren't to crazy about early beta's 8)

BTW: Snails rules with multiplayer :D

The web page is here (http://icbar.ictinus.com/). There does appear to be a problem with downloading though. I have emailed them and am awaiting a response.

Yes there is, it's just a manual process. MS doesn't let us know when a notification event triggers so you'll never get the full PPC 2002 behavior but there is a notification icon to click to see if you do have notifications.

I just got an email back from ictinus, the download links are now working.

i've downloaded the arm file for icbar. i have these files in a folder:

000Icbar.002
000Icbar.004
ICBARA~1.000
ICBARS~1.003
ICBARS~1.005

the instructions mention something about a .cab file. i don't see that. can anyone give some insight into the next step?

That's odd, when I download it I just get 1 file 'icbar.arm.cab'. Place the cab file in your My Documents folder and run it, it will self install just like wisbar.

rename the downloaded zip file to a .cab file and then move it into the ppc. problem solved. for some strange reason my browser is changing the file on the download.
