OK, it's been done many times before, but there are so many nice new applets around! Let's see what your Today screen looks like (with description of custom elements). Here's mine:



Still using PPC 2k2, with Mobile 2003 default .tsk, WISbar Advance with my own theme, Pocket Facelift for the Program menu, Handymenu with custom icon.

And again, with Program menu opened:



I like it clean and uncluttered. How 'bout you? :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Rok

Note: I split off unrelated commentary on trusting third-party software and sites here. Folks, let's stick to Rok's excellent suggestion and trade Today screens here. Any further distractions on the above topic posted here will be summarily deleted -- go to that thread if you want to debate the issue!

Back ontopic: Rok: isn't the WM2k3 theme so superb? I use it on my PPC2k2 device too. The start menu comes out looking a bit strange with black text, but it's definitely tolerable. I'll post mine when I get a chance, although it's rather... boring. The WM2k3 theme, plus Pocket Plus, and that's about it.

Wow... that's what I have on mine! I don't like skinning or cluttering the today screen - I see how much battery life and memory I have left through Pocket Plue but other than that it's a 2002 device with the new Blue Windows Mobile 2003 theme. :way to go:

I wish there were more themes like this -- mostly plain so that plugins are clearly visible, with just some shading or small designs or scenes in the bottom quarter or so of the screen.

Here's mine:

Hey Eitel, is that srs's weather, etc. plugin? It looks real good, how is it working? I was going to do it, but my skill sets are limited and I have done way too many hard resets due to betas lately.
Looks great!

From the shape of the icon, my guess would be that Pocket Artist is from Conduit?

Indeed. It's a nifty piece of software - almost like having Photoshop in your hand (no kidding - it even uses desktop Photoshop plugins 8O). It's rather expensive, though. I got it on a sale for 40 $ - it sells for 50 otherwise...

Cheers,

That's where PocketFacelift comes into play - notice the white text with shadow, even on Start menu? :mrgreen:
