I am very surprised to find that MegaSofts billiards wont go full screen.
In fact almost all of my 3rd part apps won't.
Now I know that they do on my Sony Clie NX80v.
So I am a bit surprised to find that I cant lower the graffiti area.
Even the MegaBowl...
The game does go full screen but when I go to enter my reg. code the graffiti area pops up and blocks a few other # as well as the enter button.
The following are just a few that I have found not to work on my new T# but do on my NX80v:
AvantGo..
AutoBase..
CodeDiver.. When I try to use it, it tells me that A long wise screen can not be used from this model thats quite funny!!!
Monthly planner..
Invisible..
1-2 Convert..
9-Ball..
Abode Reader..
BibleReader+..
Filez..
MyBible..
McFile..
Fonts4TC..
Tealmaster..
powerOne..
The list goes on and on.
The SHOCK to me is powerOne comes with the T3?!?!??!!!?!?!??
Any thoughts?

The method used for apps to go full screen is totally different. All apps have to be rewritten to support the Palm APIs. A number are already shipping but it will take a while.

But the app's already appear full screen on my Clie NX80v?

Read what I wrote.

The apps have to be changed to work full screen on the Palm, Garmin, or any other device using a collapsible input area because the mechanism used by Palm is different than the mechanism used by Sony. Apps written to support full screen on Sony devices won't support the feature on any other devices. They have to be modified to work on the Palm TT3.

Put it another way. None of the apps that you listed will run full screen on the TT3 until the programmers change them and release new versions.

There is a thread that lists the apps that have been fixed already.

Ok I understand..
I kind of feel like I shot myself in the foot...
I switched because I did not like the attitude of Sony and now I must sit wait.
Funny the programers complained that Sony was so tuff to deal with when it came to writing apps to work on NX's and now!?!?!?!!!?!?????
Oh well

The new CodeDriver Beta DOES work on TT3.


Fonts4TC..


Well, it's name is not "Font4TT3".:)


Tealmaster..


I'm using Tealmaster to manage all the old hacks since it support OS5, and I don't think I really need it to be in HiRes+ mode, after all, it's just a Hack mamager.

No I just was writing whatas I was testing the apps on my T3...
Tealmaster is not a big deal.
Just a FYI...

I have been surprised how quickly developers are adopting the T3. It's hard to be patient, but the quick response thus far has made me confident that those programs that are not yet HiRes+ will be soon.
