Skinning or changing the appearance of the Owner Information screen

I've had a quick search through the forums about changing the appearance of the Owner Information screen but can't seem to find anything useful.

Does anyone know if such a thing is possible?

Any information would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Peter

What kind of changes are you looking to make. If you go to Start > settings > Owner Information > Options tab, you can made some changes there and display the notes instead of the owner info.

For example, I'm using the Juni Black and White Skin, so my info screen has the nice black and white bar across the top with the lame looking blueish/white stuff below (sorry for the crappy snapshot) - see first attachment.

What I'd like, if something that fits a bit better with my theme, something along the lines of the second attachment.

Cheers!

Peter

There is a gif in the Windows folder which is the top banner which you could change if you like, but to change the color of the text and background below it would have to be done through the system settings which means all your windows would have a black background and gold letters.

Well, that's a start, however...

I've just looked at all available .gif and .bmp images in my Windows folder and can't seem to see the "my info" image anywhere. Perhaps I'm just blind.

Would you be kind enough to indicate the full name of the file including the path?

Many thanks,

Peter

Its a file called myinfo.gif on my ipaq, but it is listed as a hidden system file so if you use the built in explorer it will not show.

Thanks, I'll have a hunt for it!
