First off, the TH-55 is not a pocket pc, it's a palm :) Be careful with that one, they'll eat you alive.. ;)

Do you want to chance the background or the silkscreen skin? There are a lot of things that you can skin on the TH-55, you might want to be a little more specific.

However, if you want to change the background - I recommend downloading ZLauncher. (it's my fav, some people will disagree)

If you want to change the silkscreen skin, it's quite simple. First you download the VG (virtual graffiti) skin that you want. (Good places to look are HERE (http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.category&SID=D87E978F-7E95-2C26-2B5CC8B8A9421A55&PartnerREF=&catID=753) for commerical ones or just search google for free ones) Then, install the PRC file using the Palm Install Tool (in palm desktop). Do a hotsync. After that, you have to do one of two things: either switch to Decuma, then back to Graffiti2, or do a soft reset. Either way, your silkscreen should now be the skin you wanted.

Hope that made sense. There are a lot of posts about this all over this forum. Just do a search for "VG Skins" or "Graffiti Skins" ...something to that regard.

Good luck and happy Th-55-ing :)
