Answer 1

It depends on what level you're looking at replacing it. Do you want to replace it device-wide, or just for your app? If it's just for your app, create a new Dialog with the features you want and call it.

To replace it system-wide you have to have the ability (i.ee tools and BSP) to create a new OS image. You would clone the following folder in your project tree:

%WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\SHELL\OAK\HPC\CESHELL\UI

Then modify the resource (and potentially code) files you want changes and rebuild your OS.
