Hi Joseph! Glad you like the skin! I've also made versions in pink, purple, and green - yet they're not available for download yet as I have submitted them to the Best Today Screen Contest being held by the makers of Wisbar Advance 2 and PocketBreeze. The finalists will be announced December 5th, and then people will vote for the winning top three skins, the grand prize of which is a new Dell Axim! Anyway, can you tell I'm a little excited? :D :p

So it may be another month before I can release these skins. I do have a bunch of other skin sets I've posted on my website in the past few days though!

Chefz :yes:

I think the vote starts next year & skin submitting dead line has been extended.

I'll definitely vote for you because that theme is my favorite VS too! (Y) :jump:

How do you get a new theme into a pocket pc? I just got a Dell Axim x50v.

You can use Microsoft Power toys for basic color change and other simple stuff.

However, I strongly recommend Wisbar for the skinning, as well as task management, it has good themes such as Royale, SoulLuna, or Code Opus as shown above.

All the PDA's I have played with that have PPC 2003 do not have this theme, it seems to be a 2002 theme it is just they want to tease us with it. I have found a similar theme on www.pocketpcthemes.com ( I think :huh: )

can anybody helpme uloading the default wallpaper of your IPAQ please? i need this one...

Yes, I think that is the default theme for PPC 2002, but did find an extended version (has extra stuff built-in for SPB Pocket Plus in addition to the Today screen shown in your screenshot) from the link given above (pocketpcthemes.com) - I'm attaching it here in case you haven't had a chance to find it yet!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!! Here's my latest screenshot - I've been using the same one for several days now without switching, which is very unusual for me! But it's available for downloading from my website if anyone is interested. The WisbarAdvance 2.0 skin is called SeaMist, and the TodayTheme is called MistyTrees-Blue.

Now that the finalists have been announced for the Best Today Screen Contest, I can safely release the skins I submitted that didn't make the final cut.  They're all available on my website!

Yours should win, it's obviously the most sensible of all those themes...

I think it's reasonable to ask a few people who appreciate your theme to go to that site and vote for you. You deserve it, for your work.

Thanks for the compliment! Definitely, if you like my themes please vote for me, that would be great! :D I actually have two skins in the contest: one the pink version of CodeOpus, the other RoyaleRedux.

Do you have regular XP msstyles versions of these Codename Opus mods and are you allowed to share them with others? I'd like to try them.

Sorry, but I only had permission to port them to the PocketPC - although I do like the pink version and may someday try to create a regular XP msstyles, but since I've never created one before it may be a long ways off :p

:o b0se won't let you make a regular msstyle version of your color mods? :pinch: Or do we still need to actually ask him personally ourselves? :whistle:

:D Actually it didn't even occur to me at the time to ask about porting my color variations to the msstyles format - I was only focused on the PocketPC stuff! I just assumed if I wanted to create a msstyles version I should get his permission. I think I need to look into how to get started in creating one though, I've never worked on any before! :blink:

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
