Can I change colors on Pocket IE?

When you try to read craigslist, the page is all links.
On a 640x480 screen, the text size is already below
the limit of readability. So, let's make it the color
that the human eye has least resolution...BLUE!!!

Is there a way to change the link color in PIE...WM5...Axim X51v?

Yes, I know that I can make the text bigger. That doesn't solve
my problem. The ole brain is pretty good at reading text
with missing information...in this case too small. I'd just like
a little help by making the text color black.

You may already know about it, but remember that there are three pie
display options which might help as well.

Since you are stuck with the 640x480 size issues, you might experiment
with a converter site such as <http://www.google.com/gwt/n>

....tip, if you like and use it, note that you can store the resultant
urls as favorites

hth,

Thanks,
Been there, done that.
My problem is NOT formatting.
My problem is the idiot that decided that sub-readable
text size in bright blue on a white background was a good idea...Grrrrrr!!!!
Was hoping there was a super-secret registry value that could
fix the color.

imho, the problem is ms teams who program pocketpc programs but never
use them themselves.

seems they don't have a clue that most text on a 480x640 ppc screen is
not readable by mere mortals using the maximum available text size.
