More info?)
As I tried to say before - (and now after i read what you said im now
certain) - that the today screen has *NEVER* shown on my ipaq.
from the first time i powered it up the desktop background is some kind
of active-desktop that contains 4 images that are shortcut to several
apps like nevo or the photosmart-camera.
(please see the image on this page -
http
/www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1657065,00.asp?p=2
this is the desktop background i have, each picture runs a program)
i have never got the today application working, i've waited 12 hours
but it didnt run, and i've tried executing it and still nothing.
when i change the background image of the "today" in settings, the
menu's and upper line colors do change colors (i tried both default
schemes and a photo of my own) but no "today" app actualy appears.
also - im still trying to change the background of the desktop (not
just the today... or are they the same thing ?)
thanks

ouh, P.S. incase you forgot and it matters, as i mentioned on my first
message - im working on windows-mobile 2003 CE.
thanks again
