Palm Blvd > Software Reviews > SilverScreen: A Launcher With Style SilverScreen: A Launcher With Style
By Palm Boulevard Staff
SilverScreen by PocketSensei is a specially designed launcher for the Palm
OS. Users of SilverScreen are able to make use of 'Theme packs' and 'Icon Packs' to give the launcher a sense of style.
Installation and Basics SilverScreen installs just link any other Palm program. Included in the download files are several themes that can be used with SilverScreen. Once SilverScreen is loaded onto your Palm simply tapping the Silver icon will run the program. Once the SilverScreen is running it will take over the application button, and subsequent taps of the application icon will bring up the SilverScreen application. To quit SilverScreen and return to using the standard Palm launcher you must tap on the "Exit Silver" icon found on the SilverScreen desktop or chose "Exit SilverScreen" from the App menu. Themes and Icons SilverScreen allows customization of the launcher screens through the use of various theme and icon packs. The theme packs change the icons for the Main and System programs. Those are the default programs such as hotsync, prefs, datebook, addressbook, etc. Changing the theme is simple. Once the theme has been installed on you palm you can activate it within SilverScreen via the following taps menu -> options -> Theme or alternately you can use shortcut T. While using the SilverScreen launcher you are able to change the icon for any third party application. The icons can come from any of the theme packs that you have installed on your Palm, or they can come from one of the many SilverScreen theme packs. Changing the icon in SilverScreen will not change the icon for the default launcher or any other launchers that you may switch to. To change the icon for a third party application you must open the "Application Information" dialog and tap on the icon displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. A new dialog will open with the instructions for changing the icon. Note: I have been unsuccessful in locating a method to replace the default icon once it has been changed to a SilverScreen Icon.
