This is nice to see, but I have to wonder if it's really ready for release, since the poster didn't even take the time to update the web page.
Notice that the information under 'System Requirements' still has the information found on the web page template. The same is true for the 'IMPORTANT DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS'.

Scratching your head?
If you like me, sit there scratching your head wondering whats new, use the link provided by Jason.
If you go the "default way" to www.pocketpc.com, click on downloads, Powertoys and Theme generator, you will end up with the old one.
The text is updated but the "download now" link will get you version one. :?
Maby we in eager are jumping in in the midle of the update process.
And Jason, what about a best, funniest, most creative, coolest... theme contest right here on PPCT, celebrating this ooo-great release :wink:

Yep, Jason has the right link posted at the top of the thread. If you go to this page for v2:
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pock...ub/default.asp
- , Windows Installer will say:
"This installation package could not be opened..."

Missing themes?
According to the install package, and website the TGv2 should contain 4 sample themes (i was hoping for the bliss one - the default after the new EUU). I have searched high and low both on my PC and on my PPC, simply cant find them even if i sure selected to install them. How bout you :?:

Pocket PC Theme Generator Power Toy: 2.0
I just installed it on my hp Jornada 570, and it worked very well. Absolutely no hassles at all. However, I still don't know what they meant when they asked if I wanted to install it in the default directory. Which IS the default directory??
Anyway, after sync-ing my Jornada with my PC, a new 'bar' was added to my Today screen and it says "Theme Switcher (Tap to switch). Sorry I don't know how to attach a screen shot for you guys to see.
FYI, I had already 5 themes in my device under \My Documents. These themes were created using SkinApp 1.0.0.218.
Oh now I know what "Default Directory" is!! Before I installed this Theme Generator Power Toy, my SkinApp was in my D drive. But after installation, SkinApp was moved to C:\Program Files\Theme Generator, a folder which I didn't have previously.
Am I the only confused one around here?

Nope, i aint got that folder. I have tried both "Complete" and "Custom" installs. But no sample themes. BTW: What themes are included?
The Theme swichers basic functionality works, but its not happy when i try to reorganize the order of the Today items. This could be some of my other today items not behaving i guess (sort order). The Generator on my desktop seems to be working tho. Hmm...

Insatllation Problem
This is problem a problem with my system but we are running Win2k at the office and when I try and run the ThemeGenerator program I get the following error message:
"This installation package cannot be installed by Windows Installer Service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service."
I guess my IS department will have to work this out. Has anyone ever seen this before?
