Windows Theme Generator Tour

In this video Pocket Now cover Microsoft's web-based Custom Theme Generator for Windows Mobile 6.5 devices. Although right now you can only choose from three phones on the Generator website, choosing the Pure or Imagio will generate a skin for any WM 6.5 device with a WVGA screen, and clicking on the Intrepid will generate a theme for any landscape QVGA WM 6.5 device. We tested the themes on 6.0 and 6.1, and sadly they don't work.

Windows Mobile 6.5 is hitting your Door

WM 6.5 is arriving in hour time. Even some devices are already around. If you wanna a short list of what is new, look no further.

New Features In Windows Mobile 6.5

Rather than a thorough reworking of the platform, 6.5 is very much a nip-tuck job -- just as every Windows Mobile version in recent memory has been. Here are the biggies:

New Today screen: Though the "classic" Today screen is still available, 6.5 introduces an all-new version that somewhat closely approximates the Zune's home screen experience (whether that's a harbinger of things to come remains to be seen). Perhaps more than any other single feature, the new Today screen gives 6.5 a freshened look -- but ironically, many users will never see it because it's often replaced by a manufacturer customization (in HTC's case, TouchFLO).
"Honeycomb" Start screen: The main menu of old -- a white screen with a grid of boring, old icons -- looked like a relic of Windows 3.1. Happily, it's gone here, replaced with a themed alternating list of thoroughly modern images for default apps. The Start menu is gone, too -- pressing the Windows icon in the upper left of the screen now leads straight to the new Start screen.
Finger-friendly UI elements: Windows Mobile's notorious for being unable to shake the stylus, but 6.5 makes some additional baby steps to help fingertips do all of the work -- inertial scrolling in many screens and a redesigned context menu style both help here.
New lock screen: Though not revolutionary, Microsoft put a commendable amount of thought into this one -- instead of merely settling to give the user one way to get back into their device, 6.5's lock screen gives you multiple points of entry depending on the current status; if you've got a new text message, for example, you get a separate unlock slider that can take you straight to it.
Revamped Internet Explorer: Bringing a "desktop" browsing experience to the pocket has been a big focus for mobile platforms over the past couple years, and Microsoft's been lagging desperately in bringing a version of Internet Explorer Mobile that's both easy to use with a few swipes of a finger and also capable of digesting thoroughly modern pages using up-to-date standards and technologies. The company's made it a big focus for 6.5, adding a new, prettier UI, a zoom slider, better support for full HTML, and a new JavaScript engine.
Windows Marketplace: The biggest news in 6.5 might not be a 6.5 specific feature at all, ironically. Windows Marketplace finally takes WinMo into the all-important world of consolidated, managed mobile app stores, but it's only exclusive to 6.5 for a few weeks before being made available to 6 and 6.1 later this year.
Exclusive content: It's hardly a platform "feature," really, but Microsoft is making a pretty big deal of the fact that it's signed on a number of internationally-recognized designers like Isaac Mizrahi and Vera Wang to craft themes for 6.5 that ship with the platform free of charge (we're not sure if you'll find them on every 6.5 phone to be produced, but they came loaded -- albeit turned off by default -- on our Pure).

Windows Phone Online Theme Creator

Microsoft is serious about letting you customize your phone and has created for you an online theme creator that let us personalize your phone. A screenshot is presented below:

You can access more information and create your own theme at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/theme-generator.mspx#

Unfortunately this support only the Windows 6.5 for now and you need to install silverlight in the browser…

In addition not all phone are supported now…But definitly more phone will be supported in the future (if your phone has same resolution you can still use the theme creator).
