I hope I'm right that XML phone themes work on the Vario, if so where do yoou place them to make them work?

I've made a Home directory in application data, but them in my documents. But

there not showing up on the Home theme option ;)

the standard PPC themes show up when I place them in My Docs, but I dont like the look of those. prefer my C500 themes with a big clock etc..

I've got a nice green reptile dial pad but thats about it so far.

As far as i know PPC themes are not compatible with SP home screens. While they both use XML to implement the layout they are interpreted in different ways.

I'm sure there are plenty of today screen plugins available to get the features you want....

Hey blueflash, if you have SPB Pocket Plus installed, then you are able to use the Extended themes;

They have a clock and what-not, which you said you were looking for ;) Mind you, it's just the clock, otherwise, on the latest rom upgrade for the K-JAM, you can also set the clock up the top to analogue ;) hehe...

Really? My bad ;x lol, one of those things I obviously just didn't figure out until I accidently hit the clock ;) Personally I think it's pretty pointless, lol.

it is a bit annoying that you have to use an external plugin to get any sort of customisation out of the Vario.

Why isn't it possible to make themes in a way akin to smartphones?

You've always been able to set the system clock as analgoue in PocketPC ;)

thanks but that doesn't work... currently using the new Imate rom that doesn't have time on titlebar, just on a bar below... guess they disabled that feature...

That's on the today screen. The time will show on the title bar in apps as analogue or digital (so long as you have that set in clock settings).

Thanks for the link, there not quite the same as the excellent WM5 themes W411Y and kleinweder are making, I though WM5 was suppose to bring smartphones and PPC closer together running the same apps etc..

I do agree, it's a shame that they aren't able to be customized as much as the smartphones ... I went straight from an i-mate smartphone2, to the i-mate k-jam, and although I was disappointed for a while, I've learnt to deal with it, over time ;)

I believe you just drop them into the device's windows dir.

(edit) No, when you download them it gives you instructions!
