Yeh, I was in a toss up about using the Gauge control or a simple number input. I settled on the Gauge control because I was actually working on having it adjust the color of the ball live while you scrolled.

Also, I planned to have the background color of the Gauge actually be RED, GREEN, BLUE.

So turning the white light off is impossible?

When phone coming. Track ball turn white after call. But it's not important because after backlight time out. blingball will work again.

I am aware of that. I only monitor for the backlight to turn the ball on/off. Other applications that modify the light status could reset it but yes, when the backlight goes off then back on it will change to your set color.

I could add ability to monitor the phone but I'm not sure I want to do this as it would take some time. You should also be able to turn off that feature in the phone and it might work too.

The old ColorPearl app had this same issue. You just don't use Ringtone Lighting and BlingBall at the same time.

Time to break out a tiny piece of electrical tape or other tape.

Thank you rgeorge!

I haven't been able to pry the phones out of their hands to get this done yet but it really does help.

nice job, but i can't change it from red to any other color, why is that?

[John Clark]

Go to Options >BlingBall Options. Click on the color listed at the top. It will give you the other color options. After you choose your color hit the escape key and save the settings. That's when the color will change.

thanks JC, i had to do a battery pull first for it to show up in the menu, i thought that desktop manager did that, but i was wrong.

i love this app! the green and cyan colors are bolder than on Metsfan's color pearl, sorry Metsfan

[John Clark]

Not sure how it's possible that the colors are any different. The led's are the same.

[Hooked_on_BB's]

you are awesome thank you very very much!!

Very very nice everything worked just perfect



Something I noticed once in awhile it seems like the white shuts off and the color is very bold I think its just my phone because once in a while when I didn't have a colored trackball it wouldn't light up when I was using the phone for whatever but sometimes it did

But once again thank you for your work



I think it would be cool to have a setting where the ball randomly changed colors always like a strobe feature don't know if that's possible or if battery life would be effected but just a cool sounding idea

[John Clark]

When the color gets bold is when the white LED turns off slightly before the colored LED turns off. Thus, my suggestion of the black tape over the white LED.

A really quick way to load it is to use just the bare Loader.exe program. Plug in your BB and just go to c\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader. Double click the Loader.exe file. This saves you from going all through Desktop Manager.

Is hosting an OTA on geocities possible, I believe you can have 4.2MB per hour of download bandwith, and with the .cod file being 144kb thats about 240times an hour.
Just a thought.
Also, thanks again rgeorge! This program is awesome.

amusingly enough this isn't in my options menu.. attempting to reinstall it.. i'll get back to you

--EDIT--
I think i figured it out, that sneaky little vendor.xml! I could have sworn I deleted the darn thing, but for some reason it came back!
and shazam, the Blingball optioins are there.
