I am pretty sure I saw this somewhere else ... but I was checking my other informational site and with how easy things are becoming to customize our phones .... it brought the idea back .... So I decided to make it known how easy it is to do ...

The site Prethinking states " Ever get sick and tired staring at the same old keypad on your Palm Pre? See that Pink Pre keypad in te picture above? Well the Patch Phone Edit Dialer Theme for Palm Pre can help you out. If you head on over to webOS internals Wiki and start reading, you will see that it is not all that hard. It is easy change that green background of the dialer screen. You just need to modify three files and reboot the your Palm Pre. "

I'm hoping that as new updates come out, Palm will give us more freedom to customize our Pre's within the OS without having to root the device.

I'm sure you will be able to download an app that will allow you to download customizable themes for your Pre and installed in a flash. It's only a matter of time.

Suggestion: Make this an app! Then you can have people submit there versions of the dial pad and put it all together. Then anyone can change it, anytime!!

Any instructions on how to root pre to do this. I take it it is not non-hacker friendly?

Hello. I finally decided to root my pre. I have no expierence in this and have never used linux before. But I was able to change my background. I just have one question. How do I changed the numbers on the dialer. I seen the one above that mrloserpunk posted where the numbers appear to be bleeding. Any help would be appreciated. thx

On the same webpage that the orignial poster posted, scroll down to "Installing the dialer theme." that should answer your question.
