Backlight On will turn on the backlight of your m505 every time you turn your Palm on.
Backlight On differs from the "official" Palm app in several ways:
-There is never any user interface. It just works, and doesn't need to be configured.
- It is much smaller (under 1Kb).
- It turns on the backlight everytime the m505 is turned on.
There's no icon to clutter up your launcher.
This is not a hack! It uses the Notification Manager introduced in Palm OS 4.0. It is safe to run on any Palm Powered device - but won't do anything unless it is an m505.
You can always turn the backlight off by holding the power button for 2 seconds.
Holding the power button for 2 seconds again turns the backlight back on - just like you expect it to!
If you decide you don't like the app you can just delete it and your Palm will revert to its original operation.
