skinUI by PalmPowerups

>> Read Review (Rating 5/5) <<

skinUI is a palm application/hack that changes the way the user interface looks. This means that there is no more need to look at all those square boring buttons and scrollbars and the rest of it all.

Possible fix to phone reset
When reviewing this software, I did not experience the reset problem described. However, a brief google search revealed this article which suggests unchecking the "Big Buttons" checkbox on the "Effects" panel. Give it a try and see if that resolves your issues. I found the post here: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=257299 There are other mentions of occasional instability in low dbcache scenarios.

Problems w/ Reset
Like the previous poster, I found that anytime SkinUI was active and you answered a call the device would reset. Many attempts to change configuration, even disable SkinUI with Phone app were unsuccessful. I choose the ability to use my phone over nice looking buttons anyday.

caused a few too many restarts
at first I had no problems with this app and found it quite useful and the skins were indeed nice to look at. then i tried to answer calls and EVERYTIME i pressed the answer button when someone called me the phone would reset itself. At first I thought it was the particular skin but every skin i downloaded gave me the same problem. After deleting SkinUI, the problem was gone. I might try it again but not being able to answer the phone seem slike a rather giant bug in the software.
