I have downloaded some themes from pocketpcthemes.com but I don't know how to get them to my ipaq 2215?

I think I need to get the to the "my documents" folder but after downloading them with my download mgr. on my pc I'm prompted to use something to open them...but i don't know what???

Help!

Just move the .tsk file into the 'Windows' folder on your pocketpc. Then you can change your theme under the 'today screen' settings.

Are you just looking to use them?

Assuming you have ActiveSync set up to sync files you can just put it in the folder under my documents called "<PPC name> My Documents"

When you sync, it'll be put into the my documents folder on your device and you'll be able to select it as your theme.

The other way is that you should see a "Mobile Device" node in Windows explorer and when you have the device connected you should be able to browse to the my documents folder and copy it there.

Dean probably has the best advice... but I would create a folder called "Today Themes" in your "My Documents" folder... and keep all your tsk files in there.

Then go to /settings/today and you will see your themes listed... just choose one and it will become your new Today Screen....

remember, you can use your own pix by deselecting one of the checks in the today screen set up.

Little app called Rotating Theme http://home.worldonline.dk/viksoe/themesync.htm This will automatically rotate your themes in different ways 8)

Can you do that? Is that ppc-2003? I can't under ppc-2002 (h1910).

8O In the Pocket PC 2002 OS you can't put your theme (.TSK) files into a folder underneath My Documents; they have to live in the My Documents folder or in the Windows folder.
