Personalizing your P908

There are a number of ways you can give your P908 a personal touch and change its settings to suit your requirements.

Themes

Themes control the colour of screen and text, the icons, and the background picture. Sound themes control the notification alerts. Four themes are pre-loaded in the P908. Extra themes can be found on the Multimedia for P908 CD.

To change the theme, select Control panel > Device > Themes,

see ‘Themes’ on page 151.

Changing your application shortcuts

You can change and rearrange the five shortcuts to applications, shown in the standby screen when the Flip is closed, and the five first shortcuts in the Application picker area in Flip open (not the Application launcher ). The Flip closed shortcuts can even be hidden, if you wish.

Setting a background picture

You can change the background image (wallpaper) for the

standby screen in Control panel > Device > Display. You can use

any image stored internally or on a Memory Stick Duo.

Tip More background images can be found on the Multimedia P908 CD, delivered with your P908.

You can obtain suitable background picture files by downloading, MMS, beaming using Bluetooth or infrared, or transferring them using a cable from your PC.

Background picture images are 208 x 144 pixels and the picture can be seen in the standby screen.(Any chosen picture will be scaled to fit the screen).The images can be JPEG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM or PNG format.

Setting a screen saver

You can set a screen saver picture to be displayed after a period of inactivity. See ‘Display’ on page 147. Key lock and device lock may be used in combination with the screen saver. When you press a key or touch the screen, you will be prompted to activate keys and/or enter the device lock code.
