Modify Button Color Saturation

Saturation (gradient fill) adds the appearance of depth to a button. To adjust the color saturation on the device:

Go to Menu > Application Settings > Style > Enable. Then select Saturation.
The current saturation setting is displayed. Lower numbers add more background color to the buttons.
To increase saturation, select + (the plus sign).
To decrease saturation, select – (the minus sign).
When satisfied, select OK.

Note: To adjust the color saturation in ChatEditor, go to Settings > Style > Button Style. Under “Gradient Fill”, verify that Saturation is selected, click the saturation percentage list box arrow to open a list of percentages, and select a higher or lower percentage. Then click OK.
