Abstract
This invention describes a method where the background image (sometimes known as a theme) of a computer is dynamically controlled based upon real-time information received via some kind of network connection. The network connection can be either wired or wireless. This patent application is mainly targeted at handheld computers (typically known as PDAs) and also PDA/cell phone hybrid devices. However, it could really apply to any computer device that has the ability to display a background.
