Darth Vader Theme – Switch your Pocket PC over to the Dark Side
I don’t know about you, but Darth Vader is one of my all-time favorite film baddies. In fact, the actor who played him once signed a Get Well Soon card for me at my local supermarket. Actually, I still have it in my attic and I’m welcome to offers over and above 100 bucks.
Sorry, I digress, this isn’t an eBay posting, it’s a review about a Darth Vader theme for Pocket PC. It’s quite a nice one too. Designed by Alan’s Pocket Portal, the theme features a close-up background image of Vader’s head with the Star Wars logo next to it. It’s a hand-drawn picture rather than a photograph, but it’s quite realistic even though you only see one side of his face.
The theme also tweaks some of the menu, navigation bar and text colors of the Windows Mobile OS. For instance, the Today screen text is changed to a highly readable bright green, and the Start menu background colour goes to a dark gray. Generally, the colors compliment each other well and there are no horrid clashes.
If you’re a fan of Star Wars then this is a pretty cool way of showing your passion for the movie series.
