Download details: Pocket PC Theme Generator Power Toy 2.0
You'll install the application to your computer and modify or create themes there. Then you can copy them to your pocket pc and use them.

I tried that before I made this thread, the *.tsk files it generates don't load on my Axim: the Today background nor Color scheme is altered. Hence why I asked :)

Good Luck.

the interface can be a bit confusing at times but with a bit of trial and error you'll be in full control. it's way way way better than the microsoft one, which does not really support vga devices. ThemeGenCE lets you generate a theme file for any kind of pocket pc screen sizes. it also lets you edit the base hue coloring of wm5 devices.

Thanks for the link. I tried it (and my brain assploded from the abohorrent UI design, blegh!) and whilst the *.tsk it generated correctly set the background image, it didn't alter any of the colors besides the "Important Notification" titlebar, despite there not being a single blue color in the *.tsk file's source.
I've attached the *.ini and *.xml files generated by ThemeGenCE in a Zip archive, can anyone explain why it doesn't work? (I'd upload the generated *.tsk, but there's a 100KB attachment limit)
Thanks
