Lack of Smartphone Support???

[wjones]

Am I just not finding it or what? When I had a Treo 700w (Pocket PC) I could find free themes and useful software all day with out a problem. Now on my old T-Mobile SDA and my current Dash I am hard pressed to find software and Home Screens for the Smartphone Edition. Either they aren't free or they do not display properly (especially now on the landscaped Dash). In some cases they don't even function properly. It seems that even the paid home screens are just plugins and you have to do your own xml. If you know of a good site for decent, and functioning home screens and software (paid or free), can you please let me know? Google can't even seem to help me with this one...

ALL info's you need are in this forum. I understand reading english sometime is difficult but... ;)

Resume and easy start

Plugins
Facade is a good organizer software, fizz weather is good too if you ride a motorcicle to go to your office everyday... home screen is something complex in smartphone world


Background image
could be a simple nice picture or also a template were some plug in fit (as an example if you want a box were messages, e-mail, missed calls are shown you have to design it in the background image and insert x,y, wide, info's in \Application data\Home\xxxxxxxx.home.xml to have all shown inside.)
If you change the background picture also the BOX disapper

Software and plug-in
Any software showing something usefull has it own home screen plugin.
Add plugin info's inside the \Application data\Home\xxxxxxxx.home.xml file (as shown in SW manual or shown in xxxxxx.home.xml example provided with the software ) to have it in the home screen
THE PROBLEM begins if you have more than a single plugin to show, and you want to have a PERSONAL home screen, or if you own a LANDSCAPE phone, like S620 or MOTO Q

you can find here a good tutorial

Thanks for Sergiopi's answer. I have been with pocketpc version WM5/ 2003/2003 for too many years. This is the first smartphone I got and I am frustrated tweaking it too. Many friends of mine from PPC to excalibur as well and I think smartphone is a nightmare for them too.
