I have an hp iPAQ hx2495 Pocket PC.

I recently browsed Microsoft's PocketPC website, I noticed that all of the Windows Mobile Devices had a GREEN theme to them, instead of the BLUE theme on mine. I also noticed that this green theme was not only on the Smartphones but on the PPC's as well (which eliminates my thought that different color = different type of device).

Anyone know what the Green theme is for? and where can I get it? Can I upgrade from my blue one to the green one?

Thanks in advance.

The blue theme is the official Windows Mobile 5.0 theme. The green one you see on the Windows Mobile site is merely a mock-up theme for promotional purposes. Some enthusiasts have created look-alikes, though in my opinion, they aren't really the same.

I noticed the same so I made one for smartphones based on those images :)

I really should make a pocketpc theme of it some day
