Color your desktop with fun new themes (continued)
Coral Reef, pictured in Figure D, evokes a swim beneath the ocean waves with its muted orange, green, and blue colors.

If you're looking for something a little more understated, try Testing Ground. I'm not sure what the name is supposed to mean. Perhaps it's supposed to invoke the look of a computer screen at a missile test facility. Judge for yourself in Figure E.
FIGURE E
Testing Ground uses gray and blue-gray with just a hint of yellow. Click picture for a larger image.
That's not the oddest name in the lot, however. No, the winner of weirdest nom de guerre goes to Red Knee Tarantula, pictured in Figure F.
FIGURE F
Red Knee Tarantula has a cool name and a cool look. Click picture for a larger image.
Most likely, this is a reference to the Mexican Red Knee Tarantula (Brachypelma smithii), which can be found in a variety of habitats including deserts and rainforests. They're most commonly found in the rainforests of Mexico and in the southern regions of America. To compare the critter to the color scheme, check out the real Red Knee Tarantula pictured in Figure G.
FIGURE G
Who would think the Mexican Red Knee Tarantula would inspire a Palm Desktop theme?
The Mars theme also has a very bold color-scheme. You can check it out in Figure H.
FIGURE H
The Mars theme brings to mind the red planet. Click picture for a larger image.
If you're looking for a theme to match your jolly mood, then give Happy Day a try. It's pictured in Figure I.
FIGURE I
The bright colors of the Happy Day theme are sure to wake you up. Click picture for a larger image.
I won't go through all the color themes, as you can quite easily view them yourself. As I already mentioned, Palm Desktop Themes v1.3 is a free download available at http://palm.terramail.pl/pdt.html. Give it a try and add a little color to your desktop.
Finally, speaking of Happy Day, you've probably noticed from all these screen shots that this article was written on December 31, 2001. I'd like to wish all our PalmPower readers a very happy and prosperous 2002.
