I want to replicate my XP theme of Azul on my PDA. Does anyone know how to do that? Do I have to have a program? I just need to create the theme file, I can create the image and I know the colors. Thanks.

Yes, there is a program to make themes, and that is the only way I know how to. It, unfortunately does not work on my computer (Windows 98 SE), even though it says it is compatible. I have found many other people with this problem, so good luck!

You can find it here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/themegenerator_eula.mspx).

Thanks for the link, the program is great, but unfortunately it isn't compatible with PPC 2003, only 2002. Any other ideas?

You can use the 2002 theme generator to create themes, you just have to move them over to the Pocket PC manually...

ThemeMaker Pro Plus (http://www.thememaker.biz/) from KAMware can make WM2003-compatable themes, and can change the color of the Start menu text for WM2003. (Not sure if it can change the tap-and-hold ring color, though.) It's not free, but I hear it's worth the money if you're into themes. I don't have money to spare for software like that right now so I've never used it.

It works now, I just copied it over manually, thanks Steven. I'm not that interested in changing themes, I just thought it would be cool to have one matching my desktop. I wouldn't pay for a program to do it. Thanks
