If it does, I'd say backup, and give Dmitry's frame T\|X a try. It just calls a function in that library so it should be device independant if Palm did their jobs. __________________ [b]/PhreakOnALeash/ Ryan Rix -- KDE Developer, HomePage

I tried once on my new Treo 680 and it did not work.

It is somewhat better then FrameTX which causes instabilities and lock-ups on some TX devices. Supposed to work on Zire 72 in some cases which also has a 320 x 320 screen. http://canuck-software.ca/ Hope this helps

Although that seems simple, I remember reading Dmitry pointing out that it would require a whole revamp (in code) for the apps themselves (not on the device only), since apps are coded for 320 x 320 (or 320 x 480) only.

juggernaut#2 Yes, the One ! Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Germany Posts: 672	I guess all he wants is it to be black, not white. not really understandable why palm made it to be white in the first place - it looks ugly, it drains the battery for lighting those useless pixels (ok, big deal), and it makes you see right away that those apps don´t make use of the whole screen. should´ve been black right from the beginning... does blackborder work on a treo 680 ? it´s not explicitly stated as not compatible, but you might guess it´s not if the treo650 isn´t ... __________________ mfg juggernaut explain my nick
