"A change is as good as a rest," they say. This mantra can certainly be applied to Windows Mobile devices, because if you're tired and fed-up of looking at the same Windows Mobile interface all day long then restyling it could be the best thing to do to freshen things up a little.

Abs764 is stylish theme for Pocket PC that will give you the chance to put a cool, futuristic frontage onto the mobile OS. It features a kind-of blue planet with two moons orbiting it as a background to your Today screen.

I don't think it's supposed to be Earth. Maybe Venus. Does Venus have moons? I'm not sure. Anyway, it's very well rendered and whatever it is it looks pretty neat.

Besides furnishing your mobile with this background, Abs764 also applies some restyling to your Windows Mobile interface, altering the menus and toolbars, as well as changing certain colours, graphics and text elements within the operating system.

It's all done very well, but if blue isn't your colour then you might not like it as this relies very heavily on shades of blue.

It's not the most fun Pocket PC theme around, but Abs764 certainly adds a refreshing galactic twist to your device.
