free VGA themes: ShivaFooL digital art

My dear xda-dev friends,
I am so grateful for this community, I have gained so much. I have been a digital artist for years, so as one way of giving back, I have made a set of themes from my digital art. I am offering them exclusively to my friends here. I retain copyrights for all the images, so please respect that, and use only for your own private use, I.e. No sale or redistribution. There are 13 tsk files, so you can have one for each lunar month. :wink: All are less than 200K, but only one is less than 100K. For other Oz-Vga users out there, you need to change themes in SE-Vga for it to look right in Oz-Vga, because otherwise you just get a small image and not the full screen image. (You do see more of the image with Oz-Vga by the way.) I hope these may add to someone else's enjoyment of their Universal. I use them myself of course. I also invite you to check out my website to see more of my art: www.shivafool.com
Cheers !!

Thanks for the contribution. They're great themes

Thanks argh2000, I hope they will help give an interesting touch to some folks' little friends.

any chance of posting some screen shots - so we can pick & choose without installing??
thanks in advance!

Screenshot!

screenshots
I have some screenshots that I wanted to post, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I saw that some folks did this by putting their picture files in http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/
but I don't know how you upload files there so you can link them in your message. Please tell me how, and I'll be happy to post some screenshots here.
And now included here is a zip file with 13 screenshots so you can look and choose without loading them all into the precious storage memory. Most show the theme in SEVga, though some may well look better in OzVga.

My desktop

Hi all,
Im the happy owner of the Qtek 9100 and Im a newbie in this area. Ive been searching around in this forum and can see that there are some awesome people here who really know thier **** ;-)
Well the more I read the more confused I get regarding programs etc etc and I really need some guidance regarding how I actually create a desktop on my Qtek which is similar to the one you might find on a pc ?
I really would like to have ikons on the desktop so that I dont have to navigate through the start menu.
Can anyone help me ? I am a very huge fan of free software and hate to download trial versions
Let me know what software I need and were to find it. Youre more than welcome to catch me ny msn on [email protected]

This is quite good though not free - http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
Works like a PC desktop - bit slow performance in places though.

Best FREE software to make it desktop like with icons...
go to www.pocketpcfreeware.com (or pocketpcfreewares.com cant remember sorry)... but do a search for cLauncher. it is a sweeet program. and it is free. it gives you menu's and lets you put icons in those menus (all on the today screen).
PocketWeather isn't bad eithor for a free weather forcast on your today screen.

App request (icon viewer)

Can someone write a small app to view .icon and .png files? Or does anyone know of one? I am sure I am not the only one with too many icons. But I cant remember what they all look like.
Thanks IA

use the search engine on this site to search "picture viewer". There is 1 or 2 that will view most of them. Fyi, They don't take kindly around here to new threads by jr members. it typically means that member didn't do enough research first. Most will tell you this is a reasearch and development site primarily. Not a help me with everything site. Just thought you should no going forward.

Greaat Software!!!

I was browsing the web for a new software to customize windows mobile device and i found this program to manage my contacts called funcontact, i been hooked since the moment i tried it on my HTC mogul. this program is very easy to use and a great way to manage your contacts.
if anyone would be interested in giving this awesome program a go please visit:

PocketCM does just about the same thing...and it's free.

I would strongly recomend that you watch how you post. This post of yours seems oddly like advertisement. I took a look at your only other post as of this date and it looked like a simple question. Just a warning, watch what you post. There is nothing wrong with mentioning a pay product if it is what someone is looking for; however, you started this thread when no one asked and are linking to a pay product.
Read the forum rules. Advertisement, spam etc.. Can result in a ban from this site from a moderator.
Take care.

Fun Contact
I tried Fun Contact and it is ok but loads very slow and I didnt like the keyboard feature. IMO - I much prefer icontact as it is quick and simply smooth!

Are there any news app for the HTC HD2??

Can someone tell me what is the best application for news on the HTC HD2?
It is best if it can update news in real times on the homepage with compatible font for the HD2 screen.
I look but cannot find such program thus it would be great if someone can help? Thank in advance.

I don't know if it's the best but you might check out the AP News app. It's free and very easy to find. on the Microsoft Marketplace.

I have been using it for a while now. I like it a lot. Another thing you might want to try is some rss reader app.

Decided to look on the Marketplace and cannot find that AP News app on the UK Marketplace.
Is there anything else that is suitable or am I being useless in my ability to find it on the MS MP?

snaptu has a few news channels on it not very consise & not totally utd but for a basic news feed try this

i have not come across any winmo rss reader that is even close to what you get for the iphone or android devices (i have an iphone 3gs, nexus one, samsung i8910, archos 5IT and motorola milestone - and i consume news from all these devices depending on which one is the closest!).
anyway, after having tried multiple apps on various platforms, i find myself returning to google reader's mobile version.
i would suggest you set up your feeds one-time in google reader using a desktop, and then from your phone access the mobile version located at google.com/reader/i (note the "i" at the end of the string).
you can use opera 10 - the formatting is a bit off, but the headlines wrap properly. you could also try skyfire.
if you consume lot of feeds, you will love the way stories expand in place, and flicking down takes you to more headlines. this vertical approach is much faster and elegant than the horizontal approach implemented by dedicated rss apps. those apps take you to the story in a new window and then you have to retract back to get to the list. you are always backing in and out, rather than flicking downwards seamlessly...

I have tried Daily News and AP News app and gotta say Daily News was better - until I found Yomo Media... Take a look at it...

BTW - you want to install OMarket as well as it stores about 500 free apps for WinMo devices....

More devs should start developing apps with the ManilaSDK. It is pretty much aweseome, and makes us able to create state of the art apps for the, in my oppinion best mobile plattform!
Freewarepocketpc.net is an awesome plattform to share the products!
