Alot of people like Microsoft's Theme Generator.

Or you could use Novosec's Full-Screen Theme Generator which is also free. You can only see the full-screen themes, though, if you use Pocket Facelift on your PPC.

I have tried a few, but I really like Pocket Theme Manager by BVRP Software. Here is a link:

http://shop.bvrp.com/english/asp/def...PrefUseVicom=1

Best of all if you order it before the end of the month, it is only $12.00 (it is usually 13.33). Use the coupon code "eggs".

I tried theme generator v2 and thememakerlite, but neither one would install on my desktop with Win98SE.

Can I still use the Novosec Theme Generator without Pocket Facelift? I tried Pocket facelift but it ran too slow to bear.

Boy, reading these excellent forums is expensive. Another purchase thanks to the discussions here......

Anyway, just purchased, downloaded and installed BVRP's pocket Theme Manager (even though they are French). Did a quick change to my wall paper to display a recent family picture. But, due to the size and orientation of the picture, I had to crop it more then I would wish.

What is the best and recommended size and color setting for a digital photograph to be displayed as wallpaper/background on the Axim??

With that information, I will collect my favorites and create compatable copies in Photoshop........

LOL I know what you mean, I stopped keeping track of how much money I have spent on software thanks to this forum. All of it has been good but it is still depressing.

Anyway, don't quote me on this but I believe I had it calculated that the size of the screen was 240x320, but the top and bottom bars take up 26 pixels each so for a picture the best size is 240x268. You could use just about anything and either crop it or resize it down, but to get the best quality you want it to be about that size before you do anything to it.

Hope that helps.
