I'am pretty sure that stuff is pure silicone.
And it doesnt take well to coloring with an
alcohol-based marker like a sharpie. You
would have to use the boiling technique like
the guy that did the back cover with RitDye.

Don't quote me on it though :silent:

If your talking about the white rubber under the icons I think that might work real well. Someone try it and post some pics.

Not gonna lie, its time consuming. And you've gotta be VERY CAREFUL! So many ribbon cables that can tear!

Here's the service manual. Page 19 starts with disassembly: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3IOVUX7P

I think it looks better in a single color instead of lighting up like a Christmas tree... but I'm also the guy that runs the stock GSM manila theme and likes thigs to be plain and simple. Just thinks it's more "classy" all white.

Mod looks great though, I don't have the balls to do it and I've done my fair share of soldering

Ya.. I took apart my ol Touch several time and could do it blind folder. But I have never done the pro. Any links for instruction in doing so? Btw.... the trip for the Touch was to remover the screwsunder the battery cover and then with a credit card or anything plastic thats thin and hard, you wedhe it in the middle crease and you go around the whole ppc until its unlatched. Is this also the process ont he PRO?

lol...I personally wouldn't want the multicolor look either, but I wouldn't mind changing them all to a solid blue. My stuff is usually fairly simple and vanilla. This is one of the coolest things about WM, everyone can customize to their own taste.

See my post above for the instructions. Yup, you have to use a lever of sorts to get the keyboard and an internal housing out. I prefer fingernail because its much easier to limit damage.

Hey Skruff, you don't like Mighty ROM do you? ;) That is a pretty cool pic. Anyway, hijack over...back to the led's.

Ohh, Forgots to add.
If you do the magic marker method,
You can allways revert back by dabbing
a q-tip in alcohol and rubbing off the marker
colors. That way, Sprint won't be able to
tell what you've done.. Mwahahahaha!
