the ms theme generator will do that. it is free. you can also buy various theme management programs that will do this, too.

Ok call me an idiot but is there a theme switcher? An app that automatically switches themes after a set interval? You know like daily or weekly? I know how lazy can a guy be? I admit I am lazy. LOL

Call me a total idiot if you like but isn't that what the above posts were all about?

I have downloaded it but cannot find out how to do it. My fault if I am too obtuse

Ok edit on this one, I downloaded it and somehow installed it on my PC but cannot get it to work on my Axim. Any help for an idiot out there?

If you install the MS theme creator it will install the MS theme rotator. But, it does bad if you have a lot of themes, say a few hundred, and it has problems finding themes if they are not in particular directories (My Documents, root and similar on cards).

I have ThemeKing, which runs about $7-8, it does a good job.
There are also reviews for other theme switchers, but they =start getting expensive quick. I just wanted a little more than the MS one, but didn't want to pay more the $10.

I think I will have to buy one as I cannot get the MS program to work properly

If you have, are supposed to recieve, or plan on getting PPC 2003, then this is a great program that can change your theme everyday, everytime you sync, or whenever. It is an extension to ActiveSync. Haven't tried it with PPC 2002 but it says that its only for 2003.
