Home Screen Love for Windows Mobile Standard with Facade 2.0

SBSH Mobile Software has released an update to their popular home screen plugin – Facade. In the touch screen world, home screen replacement and customization tools are popping up all over. However, that’s just not the case in the world of non-touch. Facade has long been the plugin of choice for those looking to do more with their home screen on Standard devices. The latest update brings a great new interface with loads of new features to the Standard community.

The new version of Facade adds support for skin packs (the ability to bundle up the layout along with skin files into one easy to install package), Thumbnail previews of the background image and Facade layout before you apply it, changing the Softkey and category colors, PIM Integration with all major PIM applications, advanced configuration of each tab, Windows Mobile 6.5 support, and so much more.
