Change That Boring Old "Wait" Symbol
Are you tired of seeing the same old "wait" pinwheel icon every time you try to open that huge spreadsheet on your Pocket PC? Do you ever wish that you could add a bit of customization to your device that few other users have? If so, you need to take a look at JuryDuty's Customized Wait Symbol tools.
All you have to do is download and install the free CAB file from the JuryDuty site, and you'll soon be looking at a cute little hamster instead of that pinwheel! Or, if you're really adventurous, you can download one of the other free wait icons available, such as:
� Smurf
� Tinkerbell
� StrongBad
� Sonic the Hedgehog
� Hourglass
� ...and lots more.
Plus, there are even instructions for how to turn just about any image into a customized wait icon. I always LOVE to customize my Pocket PCs with different color schemes and icons, so this is something I have GOT to try!

Cool!
Its about time someone developed this. You could do this in Windows since 3.1/95/98/etc... so why not Windows Mobile....
Now you just need to have another contest to see who can create the coolest ones! :wink:

The IDEA is GREAT unfortunately on my old hp Jornada 568 the animation does not look good with any of the ones that I tried. I went back to the old original.

Well, I loaded it (after backing up my device :wink: )...
Works as advertised. My only gripe: I think that the "new" wait graphics should either have a transparent background (don't know it it is possible), or have a border around them...
I like it!!!

Edit: Now we're talkin'!!! I just converted my beanie into my new Pocket PC wait symbol!!! :way to go:

Here is another thing: The size does not have to be 32x32...
In theory, you could probably make the wait symbol a white "." if you don't want to see it at al... :wink:
