Alternative 1: - On your Touch, install "Patch Install" through Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu - On your Touch, goto Settings/Advanced/Patch Installer menu and select to install the VU meter you want This will replace the default VU meter available on the Now Playing screen to the one you selected. Alternative 2: - On your Touch, install "License Manager" and "Custom Clock" applet through Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu - On your Touch, goto Settings/Screen/Screensavers/Custom Clock settings/ and select a free configuration slot and select one of the VU meter styles - On your Touch, goto Settings/Screen/Screensavers/When Playing/ and select the Custom Clock configuration you setup in the previous step. With alternative 2 you can run the VU meter as a screen saver or launch it from the Extras/Custom Clock menu manually. For alternative 2, you are also going to have to get a license for Custom Clock. You can get a free 30-day evaluation license through http://license.isaksson.info to try it out before purchasing. The easiest way to view available licenses if you have LMS installed is to install License Manager plugin through LMS Settings/Plugins and show/purchase licenses through LMS Settings/Advanced/License Manager settings page. If you are happy with the current VU meter behavior and just want other graphics, alternative 1 is probably the best option. Alternative 2 is more oriented to people who like to customized it more and for example adjust the textual information shown on the VU meter.
