When I load a custom theme, the top/bottom bar don't seem to change properly. When I have a light background theme, it also loads a light backround drop-down program/settings bar. It should be black text on a transparent or dark background and instead it is white text on a transluscent background, which makes it almost impossible to read settings/programs. Has anyone experienced this and found a fix?

I appreciate your help!

From what I have read and worked with, you can't change the colors. WM5 seems to pull these colors from the theme that you load from the default area (My Documents folder). It gets more interesting when you use a theme switcher,like ThemeMaster. It loads the theme, but the top and bottom stay the same as the last theme you loaded manually through the settings screen.

I think it's something we will have to live with.

You might want to take a look at Wisbar.
It might allow you to do what you want.

You might peek-a-boo at ColorPicker 1.0.

While at NewMad, GetPDAScreen is also cheap, free!

Both programs work well!

I couldn't get ColorPicker to work properly. I couldn't find how to change the drop-down programs menu. I have Axim X51v. Maybe not WM5/VGA compatible?

Good thing the WM 5.0 bars look quite nice already. They, to me, are signature bars to tell everyone that they're 5.0, which I'm proud of. I like to keep as many things as default as possible and just enhance the built in programs like WMP10, PIE, MSN, Today, etc to get it to do what I want. So far I'm loving my device.

Have you got another address for newmad? The one you gave is bogus.
