Hi ,
I just got a EG800 (pocketpc 2000 device) for my wife, but I didn't found yet :oops: how to put a background image on today screen, just like on my ipaq 5450...
I've downloaded a powertoy, but the image choosen get's on the bottom of today's screen information, and not behind :roll:

If 3rd party tool is needed, would prefer it to be free, but I'll also consider to buy if it sounds interesting!

Regards,

Pocket Facelift. I had it on my Jornada 525. It's 15 bucks, but it's better than looking at that boring today screen!

You can't add a background image, but you can change the header graphic up at the top. There are two GIF files in the /windows/ directory that you need to replace - tdytop.gif or something. It's been a LONG time since I thought about that. :-) You can probably find some old tutorials on how to change the graphics somewhere...

I second the vote for PocketFacelift!!! It allows you to use all of the great themes out there that were not available to the first generation Pocket PC's...

You can use a program like "Today's The Day" (http://www.stellarmetrics.com/Software/ttd.htm) if you dont want to mess with the image files...
