Themes/Skins FAQ

Q: How can I build my own Themes/Skins?
A: Download the Microsoft Theme Generator.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Microsoft Theme Generator only works on PCs running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. It will not operate on a PC running Windows 95, 98, Me, or NT.

Q: What if I don't want to upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP just to use the Theme generator?
A: Tim Warner of PDALife discovered this cool trick. Tap-and-Hold any GIF file stored on your Pocket PC. Select Set as Today Wallpaper. This lets you create a partial Theme without any special tools.

Q: Where do I place the TSK (Theme Skin) file?
A: The files can be placed under \Windows in System RAM or \My Documents in either System RAM or a storage card. It cannot be placed in a subfolder under \My Documents.

Q: What are Themes/Skins?
A: This feature lets you modify the graphical look of the Today screen, Start menu, and the menu bars.

Q: How do I use these TSK Theme/Skin files on a Pocket PC 2000 (Rapier) device?
A: You cannot. The Theme/Skin feature is new and unique to Pocket PC 2002 (Merlin) devices.

Q: Can I use a desktop Windows Theme on as a Pocket PC 2002 Theme?
A: No. At least not directly. However, it is conceivable that you could use the images from the desktop Theme to build your own Pocket PC 2002 Theme using the Microsoft Theme Generator.

Q: [1]My Today screen or Start menu images look distorted. (OR) [2] My image only shows part of what I wanted. What happened?
A: The Today screen dimensions are 240-wide by 268-high. The Start menu dimensions are (generally) 150-wide by 290-high. Your image was probably not a multiple of these X by Y ratios. You then probably chose to Stretch or Crop the image. If you want to size an image ratio that matches the Today screen or Start menu, you are welcome to try my UNSUPPORTED ThemeCalc utility. It can help you determine the ratio of a larger (or smaller) image that can be resized to exactly fit the Today screen or Start menu.

Q: What are the legal implications of using the image of a famous person or copyrighted fictional character, image, or logo?
A: I do not know. You should consult with an attorney familiar with laws concerning intellectual proprety. NOTE: All the Themes/Skins made available on this web site (MobileViews.com) use photographs that I took myself.

Q: Can I download and use the Themes/Skins here on my Pocket PC 2002 device?
A: Yes, you can use them free of charge and without express written permission as long as the download is for personal use. You may also freely share the Themes here with friends who also intend them for only personal use. Please contact Todd Ogasawara if you wish to distribute these themes in any way connected with a commercial venture.
