New Program To Change Trackball Color
Please Login to Remove!
There is a new program to change the color of the Pearl trackball. It changes the trackball color to one of six that you want [blue, red, green, pink, aquamarine, yellow].
You can also set the time for how long the trackball stays on, 15 to 120 seconds.
Super bonus: The trackball is now super, super bright in the color of your choice. Much brighter than my Sharpie mod.
There is a free trial period at Handango. Download it now.
Note: This, and most other trackball color applications DO NOT work with OS 4.5.

Some pics.
I am probably going to take apart my Pearl and clean off the Sharpie although I can't see where my blue Sharpie is affecting the performance of this color changing program. I suspect this program simply activates the other LEDs rather than changing the color of the white LED, if the white LED can even be changed. So that is why my blue Sharpie is not making a difference here?
I could not get the pics to show how deep, solid and saturated the color of the trackball is after using this program. All the pics look like the trackball color is faded, but it is not.
Look at the chrome and inner rings that the trackball reflects. The one with the red trackball, that ring is about right in terms of color.
Anyway, there is a FREE trial, so install it and give it a try. Takes about two minutes to install.

The developer's site says only for the Pearl, but you can take the gamble and see what happens if you install it on the 8800. Or e-mail the maker and ask about it.
As to changing the color, it's just something new and different than the same ol' white color.
Also, during the night I did a test, the trackball is now so bright it acts as a flashlight.
And lastly, when in a crowd that ball will now scream "Look at me, I am cool and you are not."

Did not see that.
But I don't like OTA anyway inasmuch as if you ever have to do a reinstall, having the program on your computer permits reinstall.
In contrast, if the developer vanishes or there are OTA problems, you are out of luck, especially if for whatever reason you can't reinstall a system backup.
As to MAC users, what's a MAC? Seriously though, isn't there a way to have the alx file put in an e-mail to the Pearl and then install it from there?

Dude, as I can see you've put a lot of effort into this. Youxxx8217;ve even called us losers if we don't try it. Pardon my questions, but...is this your program?
Hope u don't mind me asking as I would ask you modify something in order to improve the quality.
