Download program to your computer.
Unzip the file.
Open Desktop Manager
Install the program using the "Application Loader" under Desktop Manager. (Make sure you install the .alx file)!
Then follow these steps after you pull the battery for a reset of the phone.
Goto Options > Color Pearl > Enable > Change Colors.

or you could just go to the link straight from your phone & download it through OTA... much easier.

It's pretty simple right now, all it has is enable/disable and color selection. You can set these in Options->ColorPearl.
You can download it here.
I plan to have more options at some point, but need suggestions on what they should be. 
Edit: Version 0.2 is out, same download location!

Is it possible to install this on the device without syncing it? (via email for example)

Hello,
Please explain how to download the same on the pearl, via USB. Also my pearl does not have the option to turn trackball light on when incoming calls.

OTA installs happen automatically. When you download OTA it automatically installs at the same time. When you're done you simply go use the app.
Desktop: download the .zip file to your computer. Save it in a folder you won't delete. Extract the .alx and .cod file into the same folder. Then plug in the BB, run desktop Manager and open Application Loader. Click on "add" and browse the the .alx file you just extracted. Then finish the loading process and the app will be loaded to you phone.
The OTA method is the quickest and easiest.

Ok I apologize for my "lazyness" but I went through a few pages of this thread and well....
I downloaded the program OTA
I installed it
and now my trackball has all the lights lit up at the same time (a section is red, green, blue, yellow, ect ect )
Now how do I change the colors to one direct color? I see you guys inserting the color codes to get your colors
where do I put that in at?
When I go to options>advanced options> color pearl there isnt an area for me to put in the code

Go to Options >colorpearl. It's pretty self-explanatory after that.

I'm not so ignorant to waste others time with a SELF EXPLANATORY topic. |

Uh.....ok. when you get to the colorpearl options do the following. Where it says "color" click the name of the color to the right and change it from "white" to another color like "blue." That will change your trackball color to blue. There are 6 colors there already. There isn't a need to put in the custom color codes.
If you do want to make some customized color, read up this thread. There are lots of references to customized colors.

As I posted above...... Go to Options >ColorPearl.
Don't go to Advanced Options.
If it's not in the list, remove the battery to reboot the device and try again.
