It has come to my attention that a couple of fairly basic features are not available in the Palm OS. Can someone confirm this?
You can't change the color of a single control on a form without changing the colors of all the controls of the same type on that form?
Correct. When color was added in Palm OS 3.5, they couldn't update the internal form structure to include color information for each control, so instead they are drawn based on a system-wide color table.
Field controls in the Palm OS don't support centered text?
Again true. You can easily center text using your own drawing routines, as the OS supports getting the width, in pixels, of an arbitrary string.
