A little background:
I was using a T3 as my regular Palm and I switched to a TG-50. When I used the T3 I used the "Blue" color theme. When I synced my user ID to the TG-50, I got all my apps and data, as well as the "Blue" color theme.
Now the interesting thing is, the TG-50 doesn't have an option to change the theme, so I am stuck with the "Blue" theme until the end of time. Accordingly, I thought I'd write and give away a nice little app to allow us Sony users to change the color theme.
However, I don't know how to do it. If I call PrefGetPreference(prefColorThemeID) with a reference ID that works on the T3, nothing happens on a Clie.
You don't need to write an app. There are already a number of applications that let you adjust the default system colors, including the freeware Colorize:

Basically, the color theme pref panel is just a panel that sets the default colors when the system starts or a setting is changed. The prefColorThemeID preference isn't checked if there's no "Theme" panel installed on the device.
