That one got me too...
The only thing I could think of is that a shade of a color is generated by switching the R,G or B pixels off for part of the time. A 10% shade of red has the pixel on for less time than 100%. I doubt this would add up to much of a saving, as I don't know if the LCD uses more power to hold a give state or as a function of the time the pixel is active.
I would see more of a power saving by making a high contrast color scheme which would still be readable with a lower backlight setting.

Reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon where a directive from on high is handed down that in order to conserve electricity employees are to use smaller fonts and are forbidden the use of bold typeface. :lol:

Gack NO!
I would understand a price of 5 dollars....but 20? For this?? It does not even do a full skin (something I would like!)! I would pay for the first app I come across to fully skin the interface(and not crash the device every 20 minutes). Also, fonts are hard to install? I thought it was a drag and drop affair. I wil admit I have not added any fonts on my current device, but I have done so in the past. In any case, I am sure someone out there is so sick of black and grey buttons that they'd pay for this.

How is that program different than this one?? This program has no expiration time on it. A $5 donation is requested but not required to run the program.

LCDs consume the most power when displaying white.

I'd love to be able to change my system colors on-the-go, but $20 isn't acceptable. Turn that into canadian currency =^.-= (Gets flogged)

Have you tried Novasec's Pocket Facelift?
http://www.pocketfacelift.com/
It can skin everything (start menu, today screen, top nav bar, even the bottom bar that says "new" on it).
There are threads on various discussion boards (the biggest one is on Brighthand, I believe) where people post screenshots of their Today Screens, and some people have gotten amazing results with Pocket Facelift (and switched from dashboard - another skinning program - to it).
Facelift used to crash a bunch for me, but the latest version is very stable.
