Hey guys,
First I want to thank Menneisyys and his post about Today Theme. It was very good and informative, however I am having some serious trouble at work still.

I am trying to use my DLL to load a custom Today Theme. I used code from the link below

http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/c...odaytheme.html

I think Menneisyys also used the same page to create his post.

But even with this code, I can't get my Window Mobile 5 unit to use the new theme. I even checked the registry values,

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today "

and I saw that the "Skin" tag was set to my tsk file. So I know for sure the registry is getting set to the correct vale.

Yet, my unit refuses to show the new theme. I have a hunch that I need to send a new broadcast message that informs the OS to use the new theme. But I have no idea what message to send. Or perhaps, WM5 has another registry value I need to set that tells it to update the theme. I have reset the unit and it does nothing.

HURRAY! I finally got it,

so basically you need to use a

::PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_WININICHANGE, 0xF2, 0);

instead of the SendMessage. That took 1 week to figure out...good lord!

I think I jumped the gun here...its not working

I HATE MY JOB!!!!!!!
