MaTreo for Palm is a freeware frontscreen originally made for the palmOne Treo 180 and 270, which works on most PalmOS based devices: it displays an elegant aliased analog clock, a battery indicator level, current carrier and roaming (if any), signal strength, date and time. Additionally, you can customize the title string, call specific application - such as PhoneBook or Launcher - when tapping the screen or pressing the JogDial, and let MaTreo to turn on the light for a specific period of time.
The purpose of MaTreo is to act as the main app once your device is activated.
Title - when wireless info are available, MaTreo shows two lines at the top of the screen, the first with current carrier or current status (no service, wireless off, etc.), the second
with your connection provider when device is in roaming state. the title parameter is used on second line when there's no roaming status. If wireless info are not available - usually on non-Treo devices - there will be a single line with title parameter.
Switch to - the two options allow the user to switch to another PalmOS application on certain events, such as when tapping the whole screen, after n seconds of activity and when click the jog wheel button (if your device has got it). You can define different app to call with last event, so to have, for example, the PhoneBook app when you tap the screen and the Application app when press the jog wheel.
Show wireless infos - this is checked by default on Treo 180 and 270 models; generally, the option is available for all devices that support palmOne GSM Library, the middleware which handles devices radio part. if your device doesn't support it, or if there's another app or hack that may interfere, leave this option unchecked and use MaTreo as any other frontscreen.
Backlight on - check the option and define a range where MaTreo will automatically turn your device backlight on. The feature works when MaTreo activates itself; ideally, you associate MaTreo to an event such as open the Treo lid, so to have MaTreo running and the backlight activated.
MaTreo doesn't work with Treo 600.
