For those who don’t know ShantzTodayChanger is a small Windows Mobile tool that allows you to cycle through your wallpapers/themes or run applications after specified intervals of time automatically and provides you a lot of tweaking options to control this.
Sometime back I formatted my laptop which I dual booted between Windows XP and Linux (Ubuntu, if you may ask). Now I installed Hardy Heron back onto thenew system within an hour but just can’t get myself motivated to “finish” the Windows install by getting and installing all the drivers after having to sit through hours pointing, clicking and rebooting to get just the base installed. And moreover, there is no drive in me to boot into windows now just to work on ShantzTodayChanger any more. So, I thought that I’ll release the source code so that if someone is willing to continue the development. I’ll still be available for questions, discussions, explanations etc about it if needed.
You are free to copy, modify and redistribute it. Only things that I ask of you are that:
- You retain all credits for me and my website in the source code, final product, and other material (readme etc) intact.
- Also, please provide a linkback to the original home page of shantztodaychanger if you redistribute it through some other site, otherwise I’ll be happy to host your modified versions here.
- You also have to release the modified source code in its entirety.
Enough of the talk, head over to ShantzTodayChanger home page to download the source code.

Uh, Intrepid Ibex came out today. Any particular reason why you chose Hardy Heron?

Ankur, I meant that I installed hardy some time back (actually around 5-6 months back) and after that didn’t get time to work on the app..

Really cool idea, I would like to see something similar exist for phones, maybe one day when phones aren’t carrier specific we’ll have better open-source programming for cell devices.
