Theme: Using the popup list at the top-left, you can choose 'theme' to select a background bitmap and color theme.

Name: The default background setting is "<system>", where the colors are set as per the default system settings. No custom adjustments are provided with the "<system>" setting. Any other setting will allow you to customize the colors of the background, digits and text.

The "<custom>" setting provides a uniformly colored background, while selecting any other background name (such as "Blue" in the example above) will display the background image behind the text and digits. A sample of the background image will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the "screen" tab. These background images must be loaded onto your device independently from the main "Bob's Alarm" application file. Each background image has a name of the format "BBakBmp_*.prc", where the actual name of the background image replaces the "*" character.

A sample background image is included in the zip file download package, and additional background images can be found at the rarm_software Yahoo! group site.

Color selectors: Tapping on any colored square will pop-up a color selection dialogue.

Hilight/Shadow The digits can be customized (for enhanced visibility) by adding a hilight color above the digit, or a shadow color below the digit.

Outline An outline can be created around the "Alarm", "Timer" or "Stopwatch" icons on the main screen for enhanced visibility.

Position On devices that support 320x480 pixel displays, the position of the digits can be adjusted to be at the top, center or bottom of the screen (or left, center or right in landscape mode).
