So I am looking for a way around. It's probably not possible to turn on the LD with the centre button, but it probably couldbe possible to bring up the date / time window (the one you get, when you tap the time area in the status bar). This could probably be done with buttonex. I think howerver, that first a small app would be needed which could open the date / time window. So I thought I might ask the talented programers of this forum to make an app like this. Is it possible?

You can also set WatchMaker to auto-power-off after 3 seconds if launched this way, just enough time for a quick glance. Tom

No, I would like this type of app, too (and would pay a small fee for it).

I may be wrong though. __________________ My Palm programs: NEW Go2TT: from the Contacts application to TT5 in a few clicks KeyColor 2: change the keyboard, icon and ink colors on Palm devices TagEditor: edit ID3 tags in MP3 files And also QuickDest - APmapper

Thanks Snark!

I own a T|X, and was browsing the LifeDrive area (is that allowed???)

Didn't know about this feature, but I used to have a hack for my Clie which would, upon pushing a hard button while the device is off, but on the Clie, display the time/date/battery level for a configurable amount of seconds, then turn the device off.

I used this three, four times a day.

Never realized the T|X had this function! Thanks again
