I don't know which details might be important, so I'll give all of them.

On the Nokia 770's Web Shortcut applet, there is only ONE shortcut, and I do not find any way to add others; all you can do is change the one to something else. How odd.

Anyway, the ONE default shortcut is for the Tableteer web site. And the first thing displayed on that web site is a link to a program called Puchi. It lets you take a Personalization theme you like, but don't like the COLOR of, and change it to whatever color you like.

Great! Click on the link, and find out it's Beta. Well, yeah, but this is a Beta highly endorsed (top of the page!) by The Official Web Site of the Nokia 770, right? It can't be a harmful Beta, right?

So I installed it.

Well, I turned everything purple (you might think that's a symptom of my problem, but no, that was the intentional part), but the shades looked a little different in the Theme than they had on Puchi's sample, so there wasn't enough contrast between screen elements. I went into the program again, to improve upon my first attempt.

I got a set of shades I thought would be better, and told it again to save the new theme. This time it "saved" really fast! But when I tried to apply the new theme, it said it was out of memory, and left me in a normal non-purple theme.

I turned the device off, and back on. Now a lot of screen elements were showing as white on white. Not very useful!!!!!!! I went into Puchi again, and found that the puchi scheme was not even purple anymore! It was back to the original, not the purple one before the second save (which probably had failed without reporting any errors, that would explain why it had "saved" so fast that time), but before the FIRST save, back when it was still orange! I don't know how it did THAT!

So I started trying to make the scheme purple again, and as soon as I touched one of the RGB sliders, the program closed. No error message, it simply folded up and went away.

So I uninstalled Puchi it and shut down the device again.

The only remaining problem (other than the fact that I still don't like any of the default theme colors) is that the puchi theme still appears in my list of available themes; it didn't get uninstalled with the rest of the program. All the themes I've neglected to download in the past couple days were HUGE (which is why I have neglected to download them), like over a megabyte in size if I remember right....so I don't want to just leave this thing lying around. I snooped around a little bit but I really don't know where to look, or what kind of filename I'm looking for. How can I delete the theme? (I have xterm, but NOT root; and Midnight Commander.)

Or should I give Puchi another try, if anyone knows why it went wrong and how to prevent it from doing that again?

Many thanks!
