Theme Generator v2.0 for Pocket PC 2002
Now that you have a Pocket PC 2002, why not personalize it using the new Themes capability? It's super easy to build your own using the Theme Generator PowerToy.

The Theme Generator allows you to choose the background picture, the start menu graphic, and assign colors to menus, messages, and navigation bars. Once you have created some great themes they can be easily applied. You can also share them with other Pocket PC 2002 owners simply by beaming them to each other.

Features

Improved Image Editing
More features to modify the background image including sizing, image positioning, and coloring
Theme Switcher
A today page plug-in that will automatically switch the today theme at a user defined interval
Desktop Shell Extensions
Allows users to view Pocket PC themes (.tsk files) directly on the desktop

Download some great Microsoft themes here.

This download is intended for use on English Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Thanx Ledpocket,

Not quite what I'm looking for, but I'll d/l it anyway to create themes. I'd like an on-board theme switcher/manager that also let's me preview the themes in a thumbnail-type format. I'm carrying too many themes on-board to remember. :laugh:

I know SideX's "ThemeX" can do it, too. It's 1/2 the price of ThemeDream.

I use ThemeKing by funnysnake. It's cheaper than Themederam, and when I did a trial of both, I liked the ThemeKing Better anyway. Haven't had any problems with the program yet and I've had it about two months.

Ver2 of the ms theme generator can add a today screen plugin. If you let it add the plugin, you can browse themes in any folder (or on a mem card) and get a thumnail of the theme.

What I do is uncheck the plugin (settings--today--items) then when I want to switch or browse themes I check the box, go in and browse, set a theme, then uncheck the box again.

If you try it out, it is really a lot easier than I describe.

Good luck.

Thanx again, Ledpocket,

That sounds like what I'm looking for. I'll go get it and try it your way. Sounds EZ enough...
