Hey Everyone,

I am trying to figure out the "lingo." Is a TODAY THEME the same thing as a "SKIN?"

Thanks!

Kind of. :mrgreen:

There are several programs (Dashboard, WisBar, etc.) that can be "skinned." This basically means that graphic elements of the program can be changed. This can mean changing the look of a button, a menu, or a background graphic.

The Today screen is skinnable in that you can change the background picture and the colour of the text, as well as the Start Menu picture, but I think it represents the simplest form of skinning.

Do a search (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/search.php)in the forums and you'll see what I mean.
