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:

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
