Every Pocket PC is different when it comes to how they implement backlight controls - there's no standardized backlight API (AFAIK), which means that developers have to do unique control code for every device out there. :| What's worse is that it requires the developer to test on every piece of hardware... :cry:

Ultimately the backlight support makes it faster to change your backlight settings, which is something I never do anyway. :wink:

I think I know the answer, but I'll throw it out anyway :roll: .

When using third party alarm programs like AlarmX or AlarMe, the alarm would sound for a short time, but the screen would not come on.
Does the lastest version of PocketPlus fix this?

It fixes the issue that caused PocketPlus to have an alarm notification issue, but why would it fix deficiencies in *other* apps?

Hey, a guy can hope, can't he
I thought maybe the screen power issue was something that was fixable via a dll or something. Obviously, MS changed something to make all of these programs break. Thought maybe spb came up with a fix. I said I thought I knew the answer...
