The RRGGBB means the number in amount of RED (RR) Green (GG) and Blue (BB) So delete the 000000 and change the number to the amount of Red, Green, and blue you need, then set it to custom and there you have it... Have fun!

Here is another reasons i like this app better than the other color changing app. The trackball turns off along with the screen (ie if you use autolock, it turns off with the screen) It doesnt wait for the full 30 seconds to turn off.

Yeah, that's how it works. And it's a hex field, so the "numbers" go 0-F. To put in a letter, hit Alt-key. To put F instead of D, hold Alt and hit D/F twice.

I have a great understanding of how it works with letters, but think of the higher the number in the field the higer amount of color there is in the LED. Notice if you do not want any red just go 00#### and the Red LED will not turn on at all. Can someone explain to me the use of letters, as this isn't the same as HTML.

I honestly didn't know that it was even capable to turning the LED brighter or darker through software like this so I give you mad props for this program, thank you.

I got the newest version and when I set it to random it works fine until I end a phone call. The pearl goes back to its original color. If I standby the phone, and wake it back up it works again.

I might. I've started looking into it, but haven't really done much on it yet. It's something I'd like to do, though.

Sorry to be asking again, but does anyone else notice that the white light under the pearl messes with the brightness of the color?

Metsfan, is there any way to turn the white light off when you have a color enabled? It turns on when autodim kicks in.

I haven't seen a way to turn that off. Your best option would probably be to upgrade to the TIM firmware and disable autodim. Or take the ball out and electrical tape over the white LED.

Great work, keep this up. The day this app changes colors to score you'll have all kind of sport fanatics asking for specific sport portage.

This will be great, we only have one alternative now, would be cool to have another one.

And I'll do it. It's not going to do any of the parsing itself, just be able to check a webpage for a color.

sweet program, much better than "colour your trackball"

Here's a couple features that might be interesting to see in a future release:
A mode in which the trackball will actively and randomly change colors at a user-defined speed (from as fast as a few milliseconds to as long as a few minutes)

Also, as many people have said, It'd be cool to see it integrate with messages and calls.

Great prog! keep up the hard work

No rush though, we don't want to work you off to death. The white led issue is really annoying but I guess we will have to live with it. I honestly got used to it cause once I started using green and blue for a light blue, it looks better. All I can think of what he said, put electrical tape or just color the led with a black sharpie.

taping over the white led works quite well, and while you are in there, you can use tape and a sharpy to color the keyboard backlight as well.

Works perfect. I'm interested in hearing people's feedback on batt life as well. Although so far I'm really happy w/ it. Is there any way to get a standard white light from all 4 leds? (benifit=stays on w/ backlight) Just curious.
