How do I change it?

I got the Dell Axim x50 for my b-day this weekend and my hubby said that you can change the home screen. Can someone tell me how to do that? Or just point me in the right direction, if there is something on this site that will tell me how to do that.

Thanks for you

Check out this link... Today Screens.

The short answer is . choose the theme, then .

The link will tell you where to find 'themes,' and how to download them to your ppc.

Hope that helps.

The very most basic changes to the background and color scheme are done through themes. You can do an internet search for .TSK files and find a large variety to suit your tastes. You copy the TSK file to your "My Documents" folder and then click Start, Settings, Personal, Today and then select the TSK file from the list on the Appearance tab.

As a very very very basic selection, you can try looking at Microsoft's own theme collection to get you started. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ds/themes.mspx

Yeah, what StanleyR1 said.

Just bear in mind that if you actually have an x50v instead of an x50, your device can use VGA themes to get higher resolution.
