This skin adds these missing images. It's NOT a piece of art, it was merely created because I wanted it. The buttons on the right side are darker then a normal button so you can still read the clock in front of them and battery meter now shares it's place with the Calender button.

The skin shows up fine, the buttons aren't functional on my NX70 and I do have OKey installed. My question is, how do I get rid of skin without a hard reset?

So if okey doesnt work now, it could not have worked before __________________ It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency. GEORGE W.

I didn't, I just HotSync'd it. Now I would like to get rid of the status bar skin with the hard buttons and restore it back to factory. Will Photoskin do this for me? I was reading though some of the threads, but most discuss the VG area. I have messed around with awhile back on the NR70.

Yes, I did enable OKey, I normally don't use the hard buttons. What I miss was being able to move the cursor left to right and back.

You can do a warm reset, which is done by holding the Up button while resetting. This won't load anything so there will be no VG area. Hit Ctrl-H on the keyboard, go to Clie Files, then you can delete the status bar. Then do a regular reset.

Cameron,

Thank you! That fixed it! I totally forgot about the warm reset. I only tried to look at the new status bar it out of curiosity. Then I realized that I couldn't delete it. I do have backups, but I didn't back it up today after a bunch of transactions in Splash Money. I would have had to rebuild it from Quicken but, now you have saved me the trouble.

Thanks again!

Larry

PS: Thanks goes to Hans too for his replyies!

Also I would recommend installing The Clié PalmOS5 Simulator on your Desktop PC. It's just so much more comfortable trying stuff without hotsync and without worrying about your data! __________________ It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency.

Hans,

Thanks! I was impulsive at the time. My brother has been playing around with the simulator and it works for him. My problem is that I have been lazy

n0m0n Opinions = Clue's Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: Eastern, PA Posts: 1,433	Ok I figured out that its because I us Netscape. When I tried the link with IE it worked... Now that that is done. Can someone explain OkeyBar's option for SuperJogAssist? I check it and it seems to do the same thing when its not checked... I was wondering what does Super JogAssist do???
