I decided to try muckin about in the icon folder.

This is the banner screen w/ progress bar (at about 80% completion):

I tried making a full sized 800X480 screen but it took forever to load and had some unexpected complications. So I basically just edited the default jpg. I recolored the progress bar to yellow and rounded the ends.

This the splash screen:

hehe an N800 owner in a sea of WinCE/palm/WiMo sufferers.

and my desktop:

I decided to use the same image so that the transition is seamless from the splash. I changed the taskbar icons to some random ones I found. I have changed them to another set but went back. The weird thing is that it takes a dozen reboots for the taskbar icons to show up. And it's not consistant. I have rebooted several times all weekend and my new icons still haven't showed up.

If I find some decent system icons or a set of a good Photoshop filters I might do a full icon makeover and maybe a theme.
