Since everyone seems to be asking for a XP Theme I pulled off one and uploaded the ZL Theme and corresponding DIA I made. It still needs small improvements which I will touch up when I get time, but let me know what needs improved. The DIA is for use with T3AgendaBG only.
You can get the XP Theme here at my website (http://pdashine.lesliefranke.com/ebooks/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=84).

that just might make me buy ZLauncher! excellent skin! better than any other XP skin so far, mainly because of the simplicity. I like it better than what i've seen on PalmGear, and better than Sumthing's preview.

Makes me wish I had a T3 just for the DIA! Great job, Leslie!

Looks great on my CLIE... My only constructive criticism is that "Reset" and "Launch Prefs App" buttons seem to blend into the underlying color without much contrast...
Thanks for including the image file in the download...
Keep up the great work...

I still don't understand the fascination with having your moble device look like a desktop OS. Anyway, this has to be the best looking XP theme I've seen

There is no option to change it on my TJ27. Sorry.

While the ZL skin looks great, the T3 DIA causes my T3 to reset. Were you trying to make a point about getting what you pay for :) , or truly an opportunity for improvement (bug) ?

You are right, I will make some changes and upload the new file.

Are you using the DIA with T3AgendaBG 3.2?

Yes I am. Is that not the correct method?

I am running version 3.1 and do not experience any problems. I assume that you mean a soft reset. From the website, I see that the following change was made for V 3.2.
V 3.2
# English translation revises
# Soft RESET after each ski change imported, because of problems with Skins with changed keyboard layout
# AGAIN: VG Skin administration for the min iQue 3600
I do not have the ability to load the new version on my T3 at this moment but will try to when I get home, and see what happens.

I am using 3.2 currently. I will change back to 3.1 and see what happens.
I have had both soft resets and fatal errors forcing a pin reset. Only way I have been able to recover is by hard reset. I would install 1 app at a time and test but the issue would not happen immediately.
All went well last night as I cleaned and re-installed, but it just went south again this afternoon. I was using a different DIA skin this time T3-NX, isn't that still one of yours?
Reverting to original DIA and removing F3T3Agenda has not cured the resetting issue, looks like another hard reset tonight :mad: . Right now I do feel more like it's a F3T3 v3.2 issue.

It is not mine. I have not seen that one before.

I have finally got around to updating the XP theme and DIA with the suggestions listed above. Changes are show below. I have also made several changes to icons associated with certain actions. Included is a Colorize color scheme, shown in the second image below. Download all files from here (http://pdashine.lesliefranke.com/ebooks/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=84).
