--------------------

Trying to build my way to a suite of sorts here ... or at least
get my desktop and PocketPC matching! PocketBlinds skin is up
in the air as of this Dashboard release (see date below), as I've
been experiencing technical difficulties.

These skins include new replacement icons for all Dashboard and
Pelmar WISBar elements. I've done my best to cover everything
through Dashboard 2.0.015 Beta and Pelmar WISBar 1.2 Beta 4, and
I have tested with those versions. You can access the Options
screen for Dashboard by tapping "options" at the upper left and the
help file by tapping "help" just below that.

The files contained in this archive should be placed in your
appropriate skins directory. Files beginning with "falstaff_wis" are
specifically for the WISBar skin, should you need to separate them
out (see details below). The "falstaff.clr" file is for use with
ColourMe, and will give your PocketPC a color scheme to complement the
Dashboard and WISBar skins. This file and those beginning with
"_falstaff_" (as opposed to "falstaff_") do not need to be copied to
your device.

This skin supports both Pelmar and the original WIS WISBar. It
includes all WISBar icons, including new ones added in Beta versions
up to 1.2 Beta 4, and will automatically use the volume icon for the
original WISBar menu icon if necessary. Most WISBar icons should load
automatically with your Dashboard theme. However, some of the newer
Beta icons may not, and things may not appear in the correct order.
Following is a description of all the WISBar icons, in the order they
should appear (left to right):

- falstaff_wisstart.bmp: Start Button (Logo)
- falstaff_wisokstd.bmp: OK Button
- falstaff_wisoktap.bmp: Tap and Hold OK Button
- falstaff_wisclstd.bmp: Close Button
- falstaff_wiscltap.bmp: Tap and Hold Close Button
- falstaff_wistoday.bmp: Today Button
- falstaff_wisvlstd.bmp: Volume Button
- falstaff_wisvlmut.bmp: Mute Button
- falstaff_wisnotif.bmp: Notifications
- falstaff_wiscndis.bmp: Connection Status (Disconnected)
- falstaff_wiscnyes.bmp: Connection Status (Connected)
- falstaff_wisbatry.bmp: Combined Battery and Memory

Three different backgrounds are supplied. Which one you should use
depends on how many icons you have showing. The "falstaff_wisbackg.bmp"
file is used by default, for OK/Close, Today, and Volume visible.
The "falstaff_wisbackg-plus.bmp" file gives you room for one additional
icon, and the "falstaff_wisbackg-full.bmp" file gives you room for all
of them. See the "_falstaff-preview(wisbar).jpg" file for clarification.

If you don't already have Pelmar WISBar, you can download it at

also still available at http://www.walkers.ne.jp/
