Windows Mobile 5 & 6 Themes for Download + Request ;)

Edit #1 - I have removed all of my themes from this site just so people cannot still download the old versions with the striped pattern in the text message and install screens. The only place to get the fixed and final themes is:

If you have the striped themes, even if you download the newest version, you might see the lines still. I think the theme file saves some info to your phone so until you do a hard reset, you will most likely still get the lines in the theme no matter what (sorry but my skills are way better now at least

)

Edit #2 - Since people keep asking this question, I have put it here so people know how to upload themes to their phone. It's really simple if you have WM6. If you have WM5, then instead of creating a My Themes folder, you are better off putting the themes in the root of your storage card. The root is the top-most level (Not inside of any folder).

Edit - I have also tested that if you create a MY Documents folder in the root of your storage card, theme inside there will work as well.

Here is how you get themes on your phone:

1. First you have to download the file from here. You will see I have screenshots and below the screens are the actual themes in a zip file. If you don't know what a zip file is in this day and age, I suggest you google the term because this isn't DeVry! Usually you will see a file like NameofTheme.zip. NameofTheme is the name of the theme and if you click on the link, it should let you download the file. Once you have downloaded the file, you have to extract the theme file, which should have the extension .tsk, from the zip to an area on your computer.

2. Once you have the .tsk file, now you have to get it on your phone. The easiest way is to use ActiveSync. Connect your phone to your computer and when the ActiveSync icon turns green, right-click it and select explore. This will open up the file explorer for your phone.

3. Now if you have WM6, all you have to do is create a folder called My Themes (Don't click on the My Windows Mobile Device link because when you select explore from ActiveSync, it will automatically put you into the My Documents folder located on your phone, not on your storage card.) and put your theme files in here. If you have WM5, you are probably better off putting the theme files in the root of your storage card.

4. Once you have placed the .tsk file in one of those 2 places, now we have to select the theme file. On your phone, Go to Start->Settings->Today and you should see the theme listed under the list of available themes. If you do not then you need to retrace your steps and see where you went wrong.

That's it

Edit #3 - People keep asking about the big clock on my themes. It's called HTC Home and you can learn about it and the customizer in this thread:
