From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

This week's poll is a pretty straight-forward one for a change with just two answers: Yes or No.

For some time, cell phones have grown in complexity.  Many now even run a version of Windows as the OS.  With this growing complexity comes the ability to customize the look and feel of the user interface.  Sony phones specifically offer a lot of customizability, and Research In Motion, makers of the Blackberry, recently made their phone OS skinnable as well.  So there's a growing space for this kind of customization.

My question is, is there demand from the community for these skins?  Should we expand our galleries to cover cell phone skinning?  Hit the button below to vote.

While I certainly like the idea, would themes for Blackberry be possible? As RIM doesn't use Windows interface, that might be a whole other issue altogether.
YOu see the link in my earlier reply?

The Chameleon link? WWW Link? That isn't for Blackberry is it?

Zoomba: I'll give this a look when I have time to remind myself of my poor skinning skills.

yes, finally. after all this time. I've actually been asking people that same question Zoomba, but my posts were left ignored. But since this is a news post, it's never ignored. Yes, there should be a skinning section for mobile.

While we are at it, can we also skin my watch!

I would personally prefer a section dedicated to cell phone size wallpapers. I think that is more popular and practical than cell phone skins.


I agree with Island Dog. Although I've seen alot of cell skins, I think the wallpapers are much more popular.

Nothing is ever 'ignored', though not everything sparks a response...

I would love to see some skins for my Nokia N95 8 gb mobile phone ... I think that an addition of Cell/Mobile Phone theme to the libraries here would be a great idea ... ( er...along with one for Desktop Sidebar !! )

Well since My Cell cannot be skinned, at least to my knowledge(LG-VX 9900), I will move for the Wall sizes on mobile as well. 

edit:: I also think a gallery for Cell Themes would be great, could help in bringing more to our user base.

I didn't see the option for YES!!   

Having some kind of a gallery dedicated to phones (whether it be wallpapers, skins, ringtones, etc) is something I feel WinCustomize is missing.

We all have cell phones... why not extend the sphere of customization? Sure it won't be for everyone, but that's why users have the ability to customize which galleries show up in the list on the main page.
