I really like this idea, but I'm not a developer.

However, I would like to propose the open-source development of a new program for Windows Mobile theme changing.

As posted here and here...
Many ROM cookers on Xda-Developers will create their own themes that are implemented across a variety of included applications. Unfortunately, themes for third party applications cannot be defined or changed from within Windows Mobile’s native “Today” Control Panel Appearance tab. There are completely different methods of changing the Today screen theme, Media Player theme, and Phone dialer theme. Then if you’ve got some HTC applications in your ROM, there are yet other methods of changing the HTC Home Plug-in theme, TouchFLO Cube theme, Comm Manager theme, SIP keyboard themes, etc. The possibilities are endless.

I would like to propose a standard unified way of changing the look on all of these applications as well as future applications.

The program could be similar to the HTC Home Customizer where users would select named themes to be applied to specific programs, and the software would copy the proper images/files to the proper locations. The difference would be that there would need to be a way for users and 3rd party developers to interface with the program in order to let it know where its new theme files are supposed to go. Maybe there’s a master XML file that lists application specific XML files which include image/file location information.

Anyway, I think this type of program would be extremely useful both for power users and beginners who want to easily customize the look of their device and apply different themes to their applications from a central location. However, I’m not much of a programmer at all, so I am seeking help from the community.
I’ve started a project on Popfly called “WM6ProThemeChanger”. If you search for that name using the Popfly explorer, you’ll find it. Also, you can add me as a friend using “Adamz1977”.

Does anyone else out there think this would be a good idea?

SPStudio worked great for my on my XDA II ROM 1.60 until I did a RESTORE of the RAM. Now I get the "SMS module init failed" error. I've tried replacing Comman dozens of times, but it still doesn't work. I guess somethings corrupted in the restore? Perhaps a hard reset will fix?

Thanks! The non-cab files work great on Phone Edition 2003, but the auto-start and auto-quit don't work. I have to launch CommMan on the Pocket PC, and then everything is fine. No more having to click the Activate menu.

Still a great program!

The Comman.cab file won't install on Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition. The previous version did work great, but I'd like the automation feature. Any ideas what's wrong? Can I get a copy of the EXE or whatever files should be on the phone's main memory to try?

Does it really work with a Bluetooth headset!??

I wonder if it would work with the XDA II and Bluetooth headset.

I just tried this this morning with my Windows Mobile Phone Edition 2003 XDA II... and it works! I didn't try sending or recieving SMS messages, but the most important thing to me is that backing up SMS messages works!
I wonder if there's a way to get exported SMS messages into Outlook now.

Very nice program!
