Hello D,<br /><br />        Welcome to our community. I will be glad to help you out. These skins are basically images, but to use the skin you need the software Wisbar Advance and Desktop. Their official site is www.lakeridgesoftware.com<br /><br />WM2003se devices never experience much lag but a few WM5 devices report slowing down. Download the trial version from their website and feel free to test it out in your device. Almost all skins are Free in their forums but the software is priced around $20 USD. Currently we are teaming up with them and planned to offer the software for a lower price. Contact us if you are keen to purchase.<br /><br />Regards<br />Carty..

Hi Nick,<br />i already have the software and purchase it. i have o2 mini and i love that skin.<br />can you post it here?<br />is this skin is VGA or QVGA? coz i already tried to install the VGA skins and it doesn't work.<br />do you know that o2 mini can use VGA skin? or just QVGA?<br />thanks

I have made the following for use of Magician (O2 Mini)<br />-Storage.zip contains WAD Skins folder with all desktop images and the entire folder to be copied to your Internal Storage<br />-Themes.zip contains the theme settings for the desktop and should be copied/overwritten to the themes folder in root(My Device) folder. You will already have a Themes folder and make sure you back it up and delete<br />-Carty' Vista Beta.zip contains the skin for Wisbar Advance and should be extracted to any of your Wisbar Theme folder<br /><br />After placing all the files, enter into Wisbar Settings and choose Carty' Vista Beta Skin and reboot.<br /><br />Note: Since these skin' path has been defined previously in the settings file, it will work perfect only when the files locations are perfect as mentioned above. If you dont want to take risk, create the desktop theme from scratch with the images included in the WAD Skins folder. Make sure you backup your device before applying the above instructions.<br /><br />Let us known further.<br /><br /><br />Regards<br />Carty.

Thank you for the attachment files...<br />I will try it and give you the further info ^^<br />and can o2 mini use the VGA skins?<br />do you use o2 mini too?

Your most welcomed. O2 mini will not support VGA skins. The software does not scale the images. And VGA skins will also be of bigger size. So its always better to resize the images using image editors. Only the sigal and volume meters need to be made.<br /><br />We use many devices for testing, review and research. O2 mini is one of our most favourite device! We researched many device, but still we find nothing to compete with the amazing stability and performance of O2 mini or all HTC Magician devices.<br /><br /><br />Regards<br />Carty..
