Pocket pc themes and skins ~ goodbye windows start icon?

Hey, so recently got my HTC harrier working like i want it =] however im still not liking the aweful windows skin thats present.

I was hoping to find something more smoth and round, a mac osx theme would be perfect, replacing the windows start icon with an apple, having scrollers like the scrollers on osx etc..

do any such themes exist?

thanks for any responce

thanks, but I already have this exact thing on it, except the version with iphone icons and such.. but it still doesnt hide the display of general applications such as messaging, file explorerer etc.. to where it turns back into its former windows 2003 skin.

on all the themes and skins i see on the internet, its given me the impression that you cant get rid of the windows start icon bar? are there no themes to replace that? cause really the skins and themes i see are just custom wallpapers with differently coloured windows..

thanks for the prompt replies Linley

Then you might want to try Smartvista. You get to choose to cover up the default Home Screen.

Glad to help

Hey! if you're looking a different llok for your today screen i suggest get yourself a copy of Wisbar Advance..

here are some of its features..

  • Close, minimize or ignore any application
  • Switch between any application currently running on your device
  • Provides a cascading start menu (as in the screenshot)
  • Never miss a system notification again with the new dynamic notification icon
  • Tap and hold the OK button to cancel a dialog
  • Add or remove functions to the taskbar
  • Each button on the taskbar can be assigned a tap and a tap-and-hold action
  • Change the appearance of the taskbar, menubar, buttons and start menu in any program
  • Supports high-resolution and landscape mode skins
  • Customize the clock's appearance on the taskbar
  • Hear sounds for system events, just like on your desktop
  • Download and install themes created by other people

and if you want some custom themes and skin you might want to try it at Juni's this guy make some really cool themes and skins.
