official funcave theme for windows mobile

so yours truly has been monkeying around with mothership’s theme generator for windows mobile devices.

man, could this thing use an update or what? version 2.0 for pocket pc 2002?

regardless, here is the fruit of those labors…

the official funcave theme for windows mobile

home sweet funcave

if you’ve never added a custom theme to windows mobile, here’s a quick tutorial for installing the official funcave theme:

first, download the official funcave theme for windows mobile.

next, copy the official funcave theme for windows mobile file, funcave.tsk, to either the Windows or the My Documents folder on your windows mobile device. fyi: using file synchronization in activesync is a super-easy way to get the file to the latter location.

ya gotta keep 'em synchronated!

tap Start->Settings.

drives me nuts having to remember to say 'tap' instead of 'click'

tap Today.

amazingly enough...the spot to change the today theme is under 'today' on wm5. if this was windows media player, it would prolly be under something like 'volume'

tap Funcave from the list.

man...is this rocket science, or what?

check Use this picture as the background.

haven't seen whether this checkbox really makes a difference either way, but it can't hurt, right?

tap ok in the upper right-hand corner, then wait for the theme to apply.

that  colored wheel always remind me of games from my childhood...like simon, uno, & trivial pursuit.

tap x in the upper right-hand corner.

again...winning the nobel prize with this stuff, folks

revel in your device’s amazing new aura of cool…

guaranteed to get you more action than tag body spray

it’s always a good idea to check the readability/usability of your device’s start menu after applying a custom theme, since a ton of home-brewed themes make the start menu totally fracking useless.

of course, the official funcave theme keeps the start menu usable, and therefore totally kicks ass!

oh yeah...check out that seamless start menu action!

yours truly aims to release an extended theme sometime this week, primarily to better support the transition to landscape mode.

enjoy, kiddos…
