Palm Desktop 6.2 is so... grey. - Treo Forum

RSteveKadish · 09-24-2008, 08:36 PM

Hi all,

I just upgraded my Palm Desktop software from version 4 to version 6.2. The new HotSynch manager is a big improvement, but the Palm Desktop like a step backwards. I'm using the "Silver" color scheme in Windows XP, and it makes the Palm Desktop software so very, very grey. Is there any way besides changing the XP color scheme to change the colors in Desktop?

And why did they remove the color codes from the calendar?

Is it possible to run the new HotSync manager with the old Palm Desktop?

Thanks,
- Steve

Oh, and another thing! Every time I run Palm Desktop, it starts up with the window maximized, no matter what size the window is when I close it. Is that supposed to happen?

I seem to remember there being some third-party Palm Desktop alternatives, can anyone recommend one?

Thanks,
- Steve

I am not sure about running the new hot sync with the old desktop. I tend to doubt it but somebody with more current palm os expertise may know otherwise. In answer to your otherquestion about changing colors of palm desktop I am not sure about that either but I would think so. I have never used palm desktop e the days of my palm IIIC and I really can hardly remember what palm desktop looks like.
