A WinMob Equivalent Of ShowOff? - Treo Forum

Luminous · 02-26-2008, 03:08 PM

Hello Treonauts,
Long time reader, first time poster here. I have moved from POS (680) to WM (750) and am happily running a relatively uncluttered 750 whereas my 680 was packed full with third party software.

However, one utility I dearly miss is ShowOff which, for those who haven't used it, changes the appearance of one's screen whenever the ringer is switched to silent. It is very customisable and means that it is near impossible to finish a meeting and inadvertantly leave the phone on silent because the first time you look at the screen a completely different colour scheme alerts you to the ringer's status.

Does anyone know of an equivalent for WM6? I've been hunting through all the main software sites but have yet to find anything. Any pointers would be gratefully followed-up.

If you have the 755P it is Palm OS. The only way to know you have it is when purchasing a WinMob smartphone. When you go to your network provider, i.e Sprint in your case, they will tell you what OS the Smartphone has.
