Mobility Site - View Single Post - Using a DLL to change my Theme on Windows Mobile 5

Hey guys,
So I am trying to use a DLL to install a custom Today Theme into a Windows Mobile 5 Device.

I used the code from this old post:
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/c...odaytheme.html

But this won't work for Windows Mobile 5 anymore. I have a hunch that I need to alter some additional registry, but I have no idea what. Or maybe I need to send out a different kind of broadcast message to inform the OS that the Theme has changed and a new one should be used instead.

When I use the code from the old post, the actual registry value is correctly changed. But the theme doesn't change, even after I reset my unit.

I have also read that very helpful post by Menneisyys

Kudos for taking the time to make such a high quality post!

Can anyone help me out? I have been working on this bloody bug for a week now
