Happy Holidays!

I wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday :). We are going to the country for the weekend and will not be online until monday.

Also, my wife who is very knowledgebale about pocket pcs and skinning and programs started her own blog. You will find much information there.

Here is the link to her blog: Plainsong's blog on Pocket PCs and skinning

So, everyone have a peaceful holiday and be sure to make the new devices you get for christmas look "The way you want them" :).

(I have a suspicion my wife got me a Qtek smartphone for christmas, I bet I'll look into modifying and skinning it if that is true). :)

Navigator skin suite updated



I updated the Navigator skin suite.

The biggest changes in this version is support for PocketBreeze5 tabs and status icons and iLauncher meter images and application icons. I also added a new BronzeWeather weather icon set for WeatherPanel and PocketWeather:



I also added Phone Edition support to both VGA and QVGA Wisbar Advance 2 skins.

The skin suite now has two today themes with matching WisbarAdvance 2 themes. I also added a "long menubar" Wisbar Advance2 skin for people who want to use their own today themes or have many icons on the menubar.

For people having problems with getting the extended today themes to display with their WM5 devices I added non extended themes.

As usual, the upgrade is free. If you bought the suite from Handango you can go there and redownload the file. If you bought it from my site you can redownload the site from the fileserver.
