To try out the custom hex colors you must set the color option to: Custom, then enter the hex value you want to try. For a nice purple try 0000CC

Nice app metsfan!

when i tried that color code i got blue...not purple...shoooooooot!

Yes, that color code is a nice blue'ish purple. I used to use that on my websites all the time. It's a very sexi color!

JE

try this code for purple

110099

looks purpley to me.

if you set it to white it sort of is all the colours =)

if you set it to white it sort of is all the colours =)

and for Firery Orange 394800

WOW just tried this and love it!!!!!!

Does this or even the other color ball program work for the blackberry curve??

Good Question. Somebody who has a Curve....look under >Phone >Options >General Options and see if there is an option for "Ringtone Lighting." If there is then the app will probably work. If not, then it won't.

Edit: I tried it on the Simulator (I don't have an 8300) and it appears that the Curve has the option for Ringtone Lighting, meaning it has the colored LED's, but the ColorPearl app is locked to the 8100. Probably because it caused the 8800 to lock up. Maybe Metsfan can update it to let it work on the 8300.

Does anyone still have version 0.1 of this app?

I have a version that will run (instead of not allowing it) on the 8300/Curve. I don't know what it will actually do, and may send it into a reset loop like the 8800. If anyone is brave enough to try it, send me a PM.

I have an 8300 here and I don't see that option...that sucks.

What OS version on your 8300? The simulator I downloaded had the option for ringtone lighting.

v4.2.2.89 (p 2.4.0.39)

edit: at&t by the way...

Are you looking in the Phone app? Go to the phone page. Then click menu and select Options. Then select General Options. It should be at the bottom.

On the 8300, I have...

Auto Answer Calls:
Auto End Calls:
Confirm Delete:
Restrict My Identity:
Phone List View:
Dial From Home Screen:
Show "My Number":
Default Call Volume:

On my pearl this is where the "Ringtone Lighting:" would be...but not on the 8300

Vodafone 4.2.2.75 Simulator has the option....Strange.

So does the O2 4.2.2.67 Simulator version.

I guess the option can be locked down? for at&t...

Anyone on Vodafone or O2 able to check? OR Anyone open it up? ha

Possible but doubtful. Could be a simulator/device difference. I've got no explanation.

Looks like its not possible, I posted the question in the 8300 section and someone checked for the LEDs...only white

http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...trackball.html

looks like a great file but im having trouble:

i unzip it and when i go to add the application i keep getting an error with the messege, "No additional applications designed for your device were found"

what am i doing wrong??

This program for the Pearl lets the colors cycle through. Its pretty neat, my friend with T-Mobile has it on his Pearl. http://www.geekandproud.net/blackber...colorpearl.jad Go to that site from your Pearl and download the app.

Does anyone know if unlocking the Curve will allow users to change the trackball color? or is it really a matter of the Curve not coming equipped with the hardware to do so?

By the way, this Blackberry is so amazing, I haven't put it down yet.

Uh....you need to read the first post of this thread, my friend. This thread is all about the program you just posted about.

Also, it doesn't appear that it will work on the Curve.

I just installed this app on my pearl and when I set the color to white, it is no longer pure white. I seem to see that it is no loger pure white but has a slight pinkish hue on the sides. Is this normal? Am I imagining things?

I absolutely love this app. My fave is to set it to random so I am surprised each time I use the phone. Thanks for the app!

Everytime I try and switch to a custom code from the ones you guys post it gives me "field full."

Anything I am doing incorrectly??

you have to delete whats currently in there... i think the default is 000000, just erase those six digits and replace them with whatever numbers to create the color you are looking for

when i have mine set to white it has some coloring to it as well... you can see all three lights are on at the same time (RGB). if you want it pure white, i'd just suggest turning the application off to return to the standard light for it.

In ColorPearl if you set the color to white then it lights all the led's. If you disable the ColorPearl app it will turn off the colored led's and leave the origninal white.

gfx is too quick for me!

thats easy, try the delete button to remove whats there and put the hex in, such as FF0000


slow here too.... heh

does anyone else get an error when the pearl software resets, after installing this app?

No. What is the error?

I agree that white looks a little off.

Doesn't matter to me as mine is set to a nice shade of blue.

Awesome app, thanks.

Hi metsfan..the app works great...although I had this problem after I rebooted the pearl:

This error pops up when i restart the phone:

applicationregistrywait for (0xac3ae76427d17fl9) timeout

I ok'ed out of it and I do not have my browser icons, telnav does not work it states module 'net_rim_ecmascript' not found same when I try the help icon

The color app works great

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Nice programs, hope you make some more.

Will test these asap.

Sweet I finally got mine to work.

I got my pearl to work...I actually had a defective Pearl..I went back to the store and they gave me a new one...

strangest thing - i fire this color app up and the LED on the top of the phone lights up blue (the first color i chose...coincidence?).

now the thing won't turn off, and it's bright as anything! i've tried resetting, etc....any other ideas?

This application is pretty cool. I like the random option. Good job!

btw,
purple: 050090 - actual purple too.
white: 000000
rainbow: 123456

im trying to figure out the hex code better. knowing the physics of light i will try to see what combinations i can come up with.
