July, 12th, 2004 - Spb Software House has released Extended Theme Generator - the first free tool for creating landscape and VGA compatible Pocket PC themes. With Spb Extended Theme Generator, an add-on for Microsoft Theme Generator, you can edit the "extended" portions of Pocket PC themes, as well as create landscape and VGA compatible themes.
Extended themes were introduced by Spb Software House two months ago together with the release of Spb Pocket Plus 2.0. Being a Pocket PC theme, an extended theme changes everything standard themes change (background, system colors, etc). However, it additionally changes the design of Spb Pocket Plus indicators, taskbar battery indicator, and Close button task manager. Since the release of Spb Pocket Plus 2.0, more than 50 professional extended themes have been created by Pocket PC designers.
Adding support for the latest Windows Mobile platform is a part of Spb Software House's product development strategy. A few days ago Spb announced Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition support for all main Spb products and now releases a free tool to help designers create Pocket PC themes compatible with the latest Pocket PC devices.
Spb Extended Theme Generator can be downloaded for free from Spb website:
