Palm stuff -- night mode, etc.

I just made a little page listing a couple of free astronomy-related things that I find handy (selection bias: a number of them are coauthored or authored by me) on my Palm TX and Treo.

http://pruss.mobi/astro

I include links to various utilities for managing night usage: switching the display theme to red on black, toggling the white border (on TX and LifeDrive), turning off keyboard lights (Treo), and setting screen brightness super low.

I am trying to list only free things, though I did give links to some commercial DA launchers for using the DAs with.

I can add more links if you email or PM me.

Updates: I made the red flashlight DA a bit more stable on Palm Hi-Res+ devices (I hope), and fixed a brightness adjust bug. The NightModeAstro DA now automatically turns off Treo keyboard lights (and turns them back on afterwards).
