Windows Phone Designer Themes: Free to Download on October 6

Posted by Darius Wey in "Pocket PC Software" @ 01:00 AM

"Fashion Week is in full swing in New York City this week, and today, we're excited to announce five designer themes created just for Windows phones. The themes, which include custom palettes and wallpapers, were designed by some of today's hottest designers: Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, Isaac Mizrahi, Rock & Republic and Ron Arad."

There's no denying that Microsoft does a great job at connecting with big names to produce exclusive content for its products. Just take a look at the Xbox and Zune. Come October 6, Windows Mobile will get in on the action with some exclusive themes from a handful of top designers. And best of all, they'll be free to download from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

Jgui - Extra Notifications

"This program changes the style of notifications when you miss a phone call, or receive new text messages. It just gives better enjoyment to Windows phones, and adds a bit of "spice" to your everyday phoning and messaging. Extra Notifications alerts you about event, by using one of the selected themes, which simulates computer interfaces and activities, from known motion pictures.There are plenty computer concepts in history of cinematography, better or worse. It's enjoyable to encounter some similar feelings, even in small screen of mobile device."

Hmm, I'm not quite sure just what I think of this. If you like your missed call notifications to come in the form of a movie clip, then here you go. You can get different themes for different notifications. I suppose if you're a ring tone fanatic, you may appreciate the variety of ways to be notified by your Windows Mobile device. If you decide to use it, come back and let us know what you think.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Designer Themes Outed

"In one of the latest builds to have leaked (among the many that has), build 21202 for those of you playing at home, are the much talked about bundled designer themes, including but not limited to the pink and white Gingham by Isaac Misrahi. It is now revealed some of the other designers are Ron Arad, Vera Wang, Rock and Republic and Diane von Fürstenberg. Simply said, they look great."

Well you can't blame Microsoft for not trying, even if these aren't exactly earth shattering stuff. I like the transparencies built into the UI, but I wouldn't mind giving some these wallpapers a miss. I've heard that MS is also updating the Windows Mobile theme power toy (which hasn't seen an update since 2002); I can't wait to see what some of the WM community's designers - Juni comes to mind - will come up with.
