CORE COMPONENTS SKIN - Buttons, scrollers, combo boxes.... - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello all,
I'm looking for any program/hack to skin core components of Windows Mobile like buttons, scrollers, combo boxes, radio buttons, sliders... Since the first version of Windows Mobile MS hasn't changed terrible Windows 3.x like skin Even on new WM6.5 (except the scrollers). Do somebody know any program to change this awful old style? On Palm there are some programs (e.g. http://www.3gxsoft.com/palmrevolt/ ) so I hope there is any program even for Windows Mobile ;-)

Do somebody know at least how to change/add skin of these core components???

I think you forgot to use search.
There's an entire section on themeing, for example for the Diamond.
You can change some of the components via tsk files, but most of them require editing resource files like shellres, tshres and so on.

wisbar. (not WAD), just wisbar is only method for skinning what cannot be done in 6.5 feeble m$ methods.

1. its a graphic design company that released that.
2. my friend says.. wisbar aint.
3. it comes with softreset, hardreset, shutdown etc. wisbar aint.. u have to install separately..
hi i found this software Shutdown (Windows XP Style)
Shutdown (Windows XP Style) enhances your PocketPC with an XP-style shutdown screen. It includes a shortcut in the start menu and can be used to perform a soft-reset without having to use the reset button.
or
PocketWin is a new kind of Pocket PC launcher that is intended to completely replace your Today screen. It features a sleek design and a Windows-like interface. PocketWin is made with Macromedia Flash and requires Flash Player 6 for Pocket PC installed. What makes PocketWin different from other program launchers is it's extreme flexibility.

With it's extended plugin capability there are virtually no limits to what can be accomplished with PocketWin. The new update provides a number of new features and interface improvements that will put all other launchers to shame!
Please visit our website to read about PocketWin's exciting features.
The latest update has the following set of new features:
Full WM2003 compatibility!

Free skins that support animation and transparency effects (two free skins included!)
Create your own skins with our SDK (Skin Developer Kit) *soon to be released
Browse for files - no more inputting by hand
Create unlimited number of folders to arrange your shortcuts more efficiently
New interface elements, such as improved Windows XP like start menu and control panel
Shut down and restart your Pocket PC - XP style!
Requires only 800kb of storage memory
Plus MUCH more!!!!
im talking about a software like wisbar.. which includes shutdown, softreset, hardreset etc.. its INCLUDED.
and beside.. if u look clearly.. the wisbar windows xp are nothing compared to the link i showed.. first of all.. start is at the bottom. and there are alot ****s.. that u dont find in wisbar.. if u look close to that site.
for pocketwin.. i gotta check it out.
I think what you have is the iSpin Launcher which is a Palm OS program, not for Pocket PC. That's as far as I can read, I can't read Thai, sorry.
What about this:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/experience.shtml

Convert Ppc To Iphone Operating System

CAN SOMEONE CONVERT WM2003 INTO IPHONE OPERATING SYSTEM LIKE THIS GUY HAS DONE [ITS NOT THEME ONLY, ITS COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM], ITS LOOKING GOOD, HAVE A LOOK ..
REGARDS
HE WROTE:
For a few days before Chinese New Year, I've actually been quite busy developing my very own iPhone interface for the PocketPC. After looking at the functions and interface on the iPhone, I was keen on bringing it over to my Eten M600 PPC. The iPhone interface was pratical, looked neat and it was way cooler than any wm5 theme. And it was unique as well.

Why so damn loud?
It's the "COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM"? Are you sure, particularly given that even Apple doesn't have the COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM yet?
Check out this link and use the theme components. It should work on Wisbar on Wm2003.

The other functionality has to be backported and spliced into WinMobile. That's an ongoing task, on a case by case basis.

Overhaul the look of wm5

I know for windows xp & such, you can change the taskbar, and completely overhaul the look of it.
Are there any such themes for WM5 yet?
in simple yes.
look for things like sdp pocket plus to change the home screen layout.
or wizbar advance / desktop these will change the look and feel to your device as a theme would in say xp.
or flash it with wm6
it looks so much better ;-)
but indeed with programs like wisbar and spb pocket shell, you can mock it up
where can one find wm6 for 8125? I am using cingular service. Tried to upgrade ROM to 2.26 and it failed saying this upgrade is not for your device.

WinCE shell in WM - is it possible?

Shall I question - it is possible start on WindowsMobile6 graphic interface from WindowsCE? (best that, what had HP Jornada 72x ) Meanwhile I'm found application, which only transfer start panel to lower part display.
Not really. There is an app (sorry, don't remember the name) that makes today screen look like win XP but I am not even sure if it work on WM 6.
The shell part of CE is not there.
That application (maybe) called PocketWin, but it needed Macromedia Flash Player
