Remember the theme app we talked about a couple of days go ? It is now available. According to the devs behind this awesome tool you will need a dev / chevron unlocked Mango windows phone. interop is not a requirement.
Features:
Customize any tile (system or third party, including Marketplace)
Use your image as a background for the tiles
Use an accent color for overlay transparency
Import themes
Export themes
A bundle of joy with easy personalization ;)
Start Launcher, created by bartwell, is a tiny program allowing you to assign any program to a short or long tap to the standard Windows Mobile Start Button. The program is written without Dot Net, using Native C++, so it’s small and does not consume resources. Works on QVGA, VGA and WVGA devices with WM2003, 5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 (if the Start button placed on the left upper corner only).
Usage:
The progran includes a config utility. After install, you should go to Start\Programs\Start Launcher, choose your display type (VGA or QVGA) and assign programs for long and short taps. If you prefer keeping the default action for short tap (start menu), just don’t mark the corresponding field.
