Default Homescreen Designer Updated to Support Windows Mobile 5 Smartphones

http://www.ruttensoft.com/Products/HomescreenDesigner/WindowsMobile50forSmartphone/tabid/58/Default.aspx

It's been a long time coming, but Ruttensoft has finally released the upgrade to Homescreen Designer. Version 2 adds support for higher resolution and landscape devices. It also adds a new interface that looks a lot easier to use. Homescreen designer is a most have tool if you want to create or modify your homescreens but you don't want to learn XML.

If you already own a copy of Homescreen Designer version 1, you can upgrade to version 2 for only $5 - check the details at Ruttensoft's web site. The full version sells for $14.99, and it's a great deal in my opinion. Check out the Flash animation over here for a good look at what version 2 offers. I'll be installing this a little later today and I'll post a screen shot or two when I do. :mrgreen:

Update: Homescreen Designer can now be purchased from our affiliate store. 8)

Smartphones don't have square screens - so this isn't too big an issue. :wink:

The Treo is a WM5 PocketPC phone, not a WM5 Smartphone. The Ruttensoft designer only does Smartphone home screens.

Sorry guys - looks like I won't be able to post any screen shots right now. HSD doesn't yet support Vista, but they are working on it and expect it to be released soon.

If anyone else has some screen shots of HSD in action, fire them over to us and we'll add them to the post. News (at) SmartphoneThoughts (dot) com.

Anyone kow how to get ahold of these people? I bought this through their website via Paypal and haven't received anything from them yet. All emails to info@ruttensoft.com keep bouncing back as undeliverable.

Yesterday. I assumed it would be an automated transaction but maybe they manually need to see payment was received then email an activation code? It's troublesome that emails bounce back.
