Making your ColorPearl Track Ball Brighter
 
Hey this is for those with the Color Track Ball App. I like the fact that it changes the color on the track ball but I didn't like the dim color it showed so I kind of altered that with a really small piece of electrical tape or black tape. Now my track ball is super bright and just makes my BB Pearl stand out alot more. It only works with RED, GREEN, BLUE, & PINK color.Here's how to do it....

I was gonna try to just get a clear ball thats not hazed over like ours. I might try this.

I did that to my old Pearl. Worked great!

lol, I went without color pearl for a while, and then enabled it again, I found it too bright for my tastes, even at white. It was distracting to my eyes when I was looking at the screen or keyboard so I disabled it again :P. Each to their own I guess.
