Are there any programs out there that will (say daily) randomly change your today wallpaper (from a directory of images)?
Thanks.
There's an app called "Theme Switch" which is part of Microsoft's Theme Generator. You can set it as a Today Item, tap on the icon and it will switch your theme for you.
I've seen another one out there (sorry -- don't remember the name of it) that you can download and set it to switch your theme at certain intervals, such as every day at xxam/pm / every xx hours, every xx/minutes, etc., etc. But, like I said, I can't remember where I saw it or the name of it-- guess I need to look for it again, huh??
UPDATE -- I just found it at http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/thememaster.shtm, but it only lists PPC2000 and PPC2002 compatability.
Do these programs only work on themes? I'm looking for something to work with ordinary pictures (.jpg)
Not sure about Theme Switch, but ThemeMaster only works on dedicated .tsk files, so I guess that's not exactly what you're looking for.

hi guys, i know this is child's play for most of you but i've got a problem in not being able to change the today theme on my prophet-clicking on start, settings, today-i am given a drop box with the several variations provided by orange plus the extra ones i've put in myself-but they ywon't load up-any of them and they never have. i have looked in the windows folder on the phone and found all necessary tsk files etc-is this a problem with my rom? do i need to change it?
please help!!
thanks for your time.

Probably you find it on My documents folder under .tsk (device) but also you can change it:
Start
Settings
Today
And on this screen, choose the theme for your device, or why not, a picture as the background.
If you have an extra .tsk, put it on my documents folder and then make the same spets I mentioned like: start, settings....
Thanks for the advice but I can find these optionis (going from start, settings, today) and i have a list of various themes--supplied by Orange but when i click on them they don't change. i CAN change the today screen photo-but not the theme. Any ideas??
thanks for your time.

From the last page you where on you need to select the items tab and then deselect "Orange" it should then go to your selected theme

This IP lawyer has something interesting to say.
And you can get the theme from his page
After launching the theme (by the way, it's VERY EASY, just put it in a folder in your wizard), everything works except the banner clock just show "0". Wondering if you get the same on your wm6.
Also, it would be nice if the calender icon can display the actual date and the clock icon can display the actual time.
Cool but also here the time is 0 0
Very cool app. Looks pretty good and that without needing to install the application. I did try a wizbar adv iphone skin once, which had a lot more features.
But anyway a nice prog to play around with.
could you remap those icon with the config.ini file?
i tried, but most mappings still point to the setting i have on the "Stock" icon.
wondering if anyone here know the PPL and interested to further develop the application. you can download the program for free from the official homepage here: http://arianesoft.ca/index.php
I'm going to look into what I can change with it. The whole deal is fairly cool, but I hate the lag when switching to the "lock" screen. We'll see what we can come up with.

I don't know if you've noticed yet but you can indeed remap the icons with the config.ini file. Simply rename the extension so that it is config.txt, and inside it the various buttons and their paths are shown. Edit those paths the the desired program's location on your phone, then rename the config.txt file back into config.ini
Something I'd like to ask: Can we change the time at the top of this app? I believe that it's just the wrong time zone, since it is 8:44 here and the app shows 3:44
Cool app.
Time shows nothing here though (just 0 0)
I am trying to reskin the dialer of an iPaq hw6945. I'm having trouble with the default background. I've tried any number of skins and skinning tools and none seems to change the default blue backround.
My first thought was to simply replace the background image. On the iPaq hw6945 that image is "dlrback_sqre.png". Unfortunately that seems to be a ROM image so even if I change the file attributes, I can't replace it.
Any ideas?
try making the files into a .cab...
How will that help and how would I do that?
I tried to install a couple of different dialer skins, an SPB dialer skin, and one of the DirkGently dialer skins. The former used a PC based exe installer the latter a cab. In both cases they failed to install their backgrounds. The buttons installed just fine but the background didn't change. So I thought I'd "hack in" the background.
So far I haven't been able to do it.
I unsuccessfully attempted the fore mentioned image swap, then I went poking around in the registry.
I found "dlrback_sqre" in two places in the registry. I replace those values with "dlrback_square" the name of my image in the same directory, but that didn't seem to do a thing.
Moved as not theme release.
Sorry... new to the board. I thought this would be the place to post.
Thanks bilbobrian for your help. It lead me in the right direction.
You're right all it took was a signed cab (and a background image with right name) to overwrite the background. I took one of the DG skins opened it with a cab editor and inserted the right file.
When I get some time I may just make a set of custom skins. I already know how to do the calculator, and WM player, although I might just make a skin for Coreplayer which I use more often. TCPMP was a such a great application, I decided to spring for the licensed version.
Hope to see the results of your work!
Good luck
I'm using dZenkinZ icon set and whilst I'm happy to use a graphics program to fiddle with an existing icon to make a new one for apps not covered by the existing set (eg Railway Live Departure Boards) I'm wondering if I can apply custom icons to Bookmarks and Contacts on my Home screen.
I've searched the forums, but couldn't see any clues...
Thanks
Anyone? Even just saying "no, it can't be done" would be a help!
bump on this as id like to know also.
E.G - i want to use the custom facebook icon from Dinik's set on my own bookmark of touch.facebook.com instead of just a screenshot of the link. (or any link i have)
I don't know for sure, but I thought it could only be done by cooking it into the rom.
If you want to know for sure wait for a dev or cooker to answer this, or post the question into the rom thread of the one you're using.
yes you can,
in registry HKLM\software\htc\manila\home\shortcut number\iconpath:whatever
delete folder 'proglauncher' from \application data\htc
restart manila
This is a little app I developed mainly because I got tired of changing all my shortcut icons by hand every time I wanted to try something new.
It works by a folder of icons on your sdcard and matching them to installed applications by name. For example, Browser.png gets mapped to the Browser application.
This is more of a test version i'm looking fro people to find bugs and try other devices.

You can now edit the title of each app.
I have included a test set of icons, Token Icons, original can be found here: http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570
Now this is cool. Gonna try it out. Only thing is certain apps I like to change the name of when I create shortcuts with BetterCut. Like changing XScope to Browser. I suppose I could do those one by one with BetterCut though.
Adding name changing would be pretty easy.
That would be awesome!
Will try this one for sure
Works really great. It's convenient. Only work involved is naming the icons which can easily be done from your computer before you put them on the sd card.
Updated, you can now set title titles of each shortcut.
going to try it, thanksssssssssss
When I tried it, the buttons of the app did not work properly.
I ran into a slight problem. While selecting the icon folder.
Drilled down to folder.
Hit select...nothing
Hit select...nothing
Hit select...nothing
Hmm
Hit back button...nothing
Hmm
Screen turns black, osmonitor looks maxed out.
After around 5 minutes, maybe more, go into osmonitor and kill auto shortcut.

I have the Droid Incredible, when I get to step 2 "select shortcuts to create" and I tap on create button nothing happens. I could go back to step 2 but I can't do anything on step 2
I'll take a look and throw in some log output data to see if i can find the problem.
could we have some images to test? I want to try this but I have no worthy images to replace my current icons
I added a test set of icons on the original post.
Those of you that are having problems, can you give me your device names and android versions.
didnt work with me
i choose the folder
n' then it shows step2 but nothing listed under it
although i named the icons really easy names ( browser, facebook, phone ) !!!
nexus one cyanogenmodRC3 rom
Did you make sure to capitalize the names? Currently it is case sensitive, perhaps it would be best to ignore the case.
Works on my non-rooted ( ) Evo....anyway we could get more icon packs?
Awesome stuff man =)
I will try on both my HEro and my Magic.
