Try launching the Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator.

The intial screen should have the following three choices:
-> Create a new theme
-> Open an existing theme
-> Find themes on PocketPC.com

Select "Create a new theme."

On this screen you should have something that says the following:
Select a Today screen image

Just click next.

This screen will say:
Select a Start menu image

Again just click next.

Next is:
Select your theme's colors

Next Again!

This will bring you to the last screen:
Name and save your theme.

Call the theme Default and make sure Location says My Device Themes. If it says something else, find the My Device Themes folder that was created when you installed the software under your My Documents folder.

Make sure the checkbox to Send to device is UNCHECKED.

Then save the Theme. You can then use Microsoft Activesync to explore to you PPC and copy the Default.tsk file from My Documents/My Device Themes to you My Documents folder on your PPC.

This will be the default PPC background that used to ship with the original PPCs but at least you have successfully created a background image. Now try this with a custom image and colors.

Sorry about the Novel!
