i kind of combined two ideas to color my trackball.. I colored the LED instead of replacing the ball.

I have been trying to find information on how to complete this keyboard mod. If it is actually replacing LED's or using the old color film trick. I think maybe its actually replacing led's but not certain. All the places I find with info about it are now closed down. Has anyone completed it or have info on it? Posting pic
hrmm...my imate jasjam looked like the one on the right (blue backlight) out of the box...maybe this isn't a mod but rather two differently branded Hermes. 'Twould be cool to have a red backlight though....
The blue is origional, when it is blue the color all blends together this mod makes some keys white some blue as you can see more clear
the one on the left is a cingular 8525 the other one is a non branded phone

I have an 8525 and my keyboard backlight is all blue....
Same - 8525 - Keypads all blue
id like to have that white/blue combo - looks cool
if you look closely - neither of those are an 8525 - they both have the front facing camera
It is supposed to be an LED mod, but the information telling you how to complete it doesnt seem to be available anymore. So I do not know if its done by actually replacing LED's(havent taken my keyboard apart are our leds actually blue?) or by simply using a blue film to make them look blue in which case you could simply remove the film where you wanted white to shine through.

A local electronics store have called me confirming that they have a Pebble Blue S3 for sale that they have saved for me (I pre-ordered), and I can pick it up today. However, I am not sure if it is the blackish one seen in the german video (as seen in another thread) or if it is more blue, as seen on the ads. I asked over the phone, and apparently the box they have is blue, whereas the one in the video is more black.
What do you guys think?
The reason for why I am asking is that I think the one in the video looks much better, so I am considering whether the two colours are different altogether.
Since the shop only received 5 units of the the Pebble Blue, I'm thinking that maybe these are remainders of the initial batch but that actually passed inspections?
I live in Dubai if that matters, and the store is to be trusted.
i don't think there is any other colour of blue its just the lighting in that video i have held a pebble blue phone and in different lights it looks darker.
It's blue...but it depends on the light source...
If it's pebble blue it is not the grayish one. The grayish one is being called metallic blue.

Im buying a L920. I've always been set on the red model, but having watched several video reviews im now in doubt.
- Smudgeprints are extremely noticeable on red
- It has a really big "wow effect", its very noticeable with such a massive, bright red glossy back
- Its not gonna match live tiles if I change the colors
Because of this, im leaning towards White, but I have some questions about it.
- Does it get dirty easier? (ie. dirt gather in scratches)
- I read white phones tend to turn yellow if exposed to certain things such as cigarette smoke. Is this true?
- Is there overall something I should be aware of when getting a white phone?
Thanks in advance.

I had the White for a week then swapped out to a Red one. I didn't notice anything unusual like smudge prints etc, that stood out on the white. But, I'm an office worker so I'm not generally exposed to much dirt or grime.
Of the 2 colors, I'm not sure which I really prefer. The Red stands out, but so does the White. There are certain theme colors that do not go well with either color...so it boils down to your personal preference.
Though liking both the White and Red, I have not regretted switching to the Red

Im gonna be using full body protection on the phone, including on metal+lens on the back from the Martin Fields protector. Im not exposed to dirt either (being home going till march...), but its still something I'd like to know, as I've never had a white phone.
Imo red stands out more than white. White is a fairly common color among phones (one reason I dont prefer the color), however the bright red is not. Im just imagening holding it to my ear and all ppl see is the bright back, heh. White just seems so...smooth, despite being common.
Bump for more interest.
Well I can't say anything about White vs. Red but I had a Cyan for two weeks and then I got RED .... I personally liking RED a lot more.

I would get the Red colour. My mum got a White 920 and I really don't like it. I also seen the Yellow version which I thought I would hate, but it actually looked pretty cool in person.
I have a black one which I would say is the best color to choose, either that or the matte grey model.
Between red and white, go red IMO.
I got the yellow one, and I love it - though most people don't (who cares - I love it).
Before that, I had the white Galaxy S2. Looks pretty fine after about a year of usage, besides the scratches it got from the one and only time I dropped it.
I wouldn't hesitate to go for white in means of dirt stains or so. As long as you're not a smoker it should keep it's color for some time.
I am coming from a white HTC One X and I decided to go with a red 920.
When the Lumia 900 came out, I fell in love with the white one. When the HTC One X came out, to me it was like a slightly more rounded "Android" version of the Lumia so I had to have the white one. I really like the color and the contrast of white and black. The only issue I had with the color I had was due to the invisishield protection I had on it. My jeans would stain the shield blue-ish so the phone was never a true white. I read that a naked One X will do the same thing, but that you can clean it off with alcohol. However, if you have a naked Lumia, I doubt that will happen because of the glossy finish.
The reason why I ended up with a red 920 is not because of that, however. I went to the store to check all the colors out and red really stood out to me more so than the other options.
So if you really like the red, get the red but if you really like the white, get the white. But be aware that invisishield-type protection on that phone might be really noticeable once it gets dirty because of the white. I believe the naked phone will actually look cleaner.
I have a white and a black. White stays white - no smudging. However, I will say that the colored ones have more 'grip' that the black - which is very slick.
To my first test drive with a red one then ended up getting a white one for the wife & I. Just came down to personal preference, the one thing I new was I didn't want another black phone
Hello.
I bought Salaxy S4 here in Europe but I have one problem from the beginning. When I look directly to the screen white and other colors looks great. But when I look to the screen just a very little more from the side white color get blue color in it. I know that viewing angles gives you different colors to the screen but on my S4 specially white color changes too quickly to my taste. I tested two S4 in two different shops and one have the same problem or even worst but second one looks a lot better. Anyone has this problem too? I am really disapointed and angry because this phone is expensive and colors of the screen looks different from the phone to the phone. It is like a lottery. I had S3 but I don't have this problem.
Hello, even since I got a Galaxy Note 3 I've been obsessed with red / black themes, but I don't use any, and I've been having trouble finding any, for really any program (that doesn't need access to Device ID & Calling info!).
I'd like to see a Red / black theme for Themer for night time use, as there is a lot of research that say that (other than no light at all) is best for night time. Colors like bright white, and blue tell the body to stay awake, and slow down the production of melatonin, and I don't want to do that.
I don't know anything about themes, and you all do such an AMAZING job, so far I have 4 themes installed, and like them all.
Last one installed is 'Wireframe' because it's mostly black.
The first them I installed was 'Dark Orange' I really like that!
Next was 'Blue Power' because I wanted a bright blue theme in the daytime,
Then the badass looking 'Callouts' theme (with both a red and blue side!)
and again, lastly Wireframe!
Thank you all for your OUTSTANDING work on making this INCREDIBLY easy, and so much variation!
I hope you all get around to a few more blue themes, and a couple dark red themes (as there are NO dark black / red themes)

Hi,
You can always change the colors of themes that you enjoy. We will try and include a red and black theme soon, but for now these videos should help: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos
