Hi,

I've got an orange SPV M3000, i find the blue keyboard backlight blurred
and confusing unless in complete dark environment.
the backlighting is useless in daylight, and i loose a lot of time identifing
the letters, not mentioning battery use

is there a registry entry that could permanently turn off the backlight
or is it hardware, each press turning on power?

_

in pocket internet explorer WM5, the navigation is already excellent
but i would need a few registry tweaks to make it 100% efficient:

1\ in full screen, we can use the volume slider to scroll between links
but how about using the other hardware buttons to click,
back, fullscreen on/off, home, stop, etc...

2\ add entries in the menus like:
direct favorites entries, full screen on/off etc...in regular screen.
also add more entries in full screen mode menu

3\change the color of links; blue by default

4\ have a "underline links:never" option like in regular IE

5\ open a link in a new window!

well any advice welcome on those
thanks

Funny, most people want to keep that backlight on longer - without success ;)
But the information from that is the same - I don't think anybody has identified where the slide-out keyboard backlight gets its information. I couldn't find anything with CeRegSpy, so it might be hardcoded in the driver - or I'm not looking hard enough.

So the only option I'm aware of, currently, is voiding warranty, opening the thing up, and physically disabling the backlight :> I cannot recommend that option :)

I'm one of those who want the kb backlight on longer :) hope someone digs out the controls for this soon.
