I recently posted on how to programatically set the background color using Java within a BlackBerry app.

This technique works fine if you are using Field Managers to add components on to the screen.

If however, your user interface is drawn within the paint(Graphics g) mehod, this technique does not work. In this case, you need to override the paintBackground(Graphics g) method to set the background color.

protected void paintBackground(Graphics g) {
  g.setBackgroundColor(0x000000);
 } 

After installing updates to Windows Vista and rebooting, I got the new “Browser Choice” screen displayed. This allows European Windows users to choose a browser(s) to install.

After confirming you’re connected to the internet, you can choose which browsers to install. There’s also a shortcut on the desktop in case you want to run this again at a later date.
