I assume you mean in the viewer itself: the only time an icon itself would be 'selected' or highlighted is when you go back to the doc list after viewing a document. I would have thought that this was merely cosmetic and didn't really serve much functional purpose. > unselected documents are an unfilled folder and the selected one is > filled; with the beta, the unselected icon is a page with lines on it > and the selected one is the same but with a one-pixel border around it. > The old icons were a lot easier to identify. (In general I've been The icon itself was changed to match more closely with other palm apps, UI wise. Technically speaking, before the latest beta the icon was an image (which was fine, but was one extra thing to load), now its a character (which is better, because it's one less thing to have in memory:).. When an icon is selected, what's actually happening is that the little area where the icon is drawn has its pixel's inverted. The whole thing SHOULD still look different from any unselected one, but the image itself should still be the same. On some devices (pre 3.5, trgpro, etc), the icon showed up as an odd square, or nothing at all. That has been fixed in the cvs and should be in the next beta. > Is this something we should generally be doing when installing > a new beta?

It isn't necessary when installing a new beta, simply because as long as the format is the same, it should be readable. If something changed in the format in a later version, the PlkrDocList will automagically be deleted and re-created, unbeknownest or unbecarenst to the user. With the sony betas I made a while ago, it was required simply becuase of the possibility of a conflict with the main trunk plucker installed with a sony branch plucker. Mistake on my part. The sony branch has since been depreciated in lieu of the hires branch, which I would say that anyone running Plucker-sony should delete it (safe to do using palm's native delete program) and download the a hires version from http://www.array.org/~adamm/plucker/ On a side note, the hires branch does contain jogdial support, so anyone with a sony device without hires, but with a jogdial can use the hires prc with no problems. -- Adam McDaniel Array Networks Calgary, AB, Canada
