Time to dig up the old links :) If you've ever wondered how to do it there are a couple of good references you can use. The first is the whitepaper on MSDN that explains how to build one. Appendix A and B are a direct cut-and-paste from the original functional specification I wrote and outline all the different plugins, parameters, and colours you can use. Another good reference is the documentation that appeared in the Smartphone 2003 SDK."<br /><br />I was looking for this kind of information in the past, and I've seen this question asked a couple times around the forums. Check out Neil Enns post on the Windows Mobile Team Blog for all the links to help you build your own home screen.
