Hi,
I'm wondering, is there an option somewhere to make WM 6 or 6.1 do a "shadow text" effect on text on the home screen? I have a nice home screen image, mostly dark but with a few lighter colored spots. The text on my phone is white so in the light colored spots, it's hard to see. I could set it to black, but then it's hard to see it in the dark areas.
I know Facade has this, but I kind of like the WM6.1 home screen and would rather just use it w/o Facade.
So.. Anyone know a trick? I searched the net and the board but didn't find much (not that it helped having a search term (shadow) that's also the name of a phone!
Thanks,
Tim
Anyway to change the touch sensitive buttons to different colors? A nice blue or green would look fantastic on some themes...we were able to get the 'non-changable' trackball to change colors, so maybe these too?

I definitely want this to happen.. hopefully this is possible.
hello
Im looking for a semi-transparent soft keys because my theme is black and white and the lettering is fading in the background HOME PAGE
something like the SLIDER gif
I don't know if its the button that needs to be 50% transparent though
any help much appreciated.
I was frustrated trying to see the hard buttons in the dark, so I bought a 10 pack of 1/4" diameter rubber O-rings at Home Depot (Danco #60, #96774, less than $3), and super-glued one to the right of each hard button, on the right edge. They are small enough that they do not extend beyond the top or bottom of the G-Tab.
Best way is to use super-glue with a brush applicator. Hold a ring with a tweezers, brush a TINY amount of super-glue on the bottom, carefully place and apply.
Photo is attached - works great for me in the dark.
Good Idea!
Good idea...but, the solution I have found is to use the Vegan rom and all of your buttons are in the the tool bar up top. I think that is the thing I love the most about that rom. I hate the fact that viewsonic didn't backlight their menu buttons

or Use Button Saviour and disable the backbutton on the tablet with remapper.
I hate keep touching that back button on the tablet. YMMV.
I couldn't live without Button Savior It tucks all the buttons you need in a tab on the right side of the screen. The tab hides (OSx Dock style) when not in use, and rotates based on your orientation.

+1 for Button Saviour,
That and I have VEGAn as my daily driver as it has "Home" "Menu" and "Back" keys on the Notification bar. GoJimi showed a preview of this feature and a few others with the CM/VEGAm merge on his website.
I patiently wait for that Beta.
ah chooooo! Someone needs to clean their screen
JK. Good Idea. But I use a program that pulls out a side menu with those options so I dont need the buttons.
Thanks
Scott
AWESOME IDEA!!!! i am going to hit home depot tomorrow on the way home! i am always hitting those damn buttons it seems... THANKS!
glow in the dark puffy paint
the solution i came up with was glow in the dark puffy paint. i placed a drop of it to the left of every soft key. i was quite surprised that the screen didnt wash out the light emitted from the paint. took a lil trial and error to get the proper placement of the piant. if you put it too close to the soft keys it desensitizes parts of the virtual keyboard. i also found that the white glow in the dark paint is better than the green.

I like that idea. Sounds like you have to be a bit careful though. Still may have to try it.

Just installed button mapper and button saviour. Its an awesome combo. I was hoping to just shut them off but I was able to re map them as a dpad. Now its even easier to select small, close together links while surfing the net or scroll through a PDF or ebook. Pretty cool.
Still wish there were back lights. Saw pics of a home mod using blue leds online but never saw any instructions.

I did the same type of thing, but I used those black nail head covers you can get at the home improvement stores. I put superglue on the back side and stuck it to the side of the tablet next to each soft button. Then in the dark I can just feel and tap. I like the LED methods though better!

Yes... that's the mod (by ThaiGai)...
and here's what it looks like (with just 2 of the 4 LEDs hooked up)...

I just picked up a gTablet and I noticed that the hardware menu buttons on the top right side are very hard to see on the black bezel. at night it is impossible.
Are these buttons supposed to light up? If they do, does anyone know why mine might not light up?
Thanks !

No they don't light up.
In the dark... I use the Force to locate them
Search for threads on how to workaround this problem,
ButtonSavior (to get on screen buttons)
Fluorescent tape near buttons.
Opencase and add LED
add drops of glue on the side across the buttons
etc etc

I use the digital buttons that appear in the bottom bar. They work fine.
