Yes, thanks again. I read the manual, even before I posted/wrote my message. And I was in that menu multiple times. I simply don't like my ipod to light up everytime I touch a button or the scroll pad. I want to turn on the lights when I press a button LONG enough. A setting for THAT particular condition is not there. So obviously my idea, or this function is not implemented. You could see it as a feature request then. Cheers, Alex P.S.: Please don't reply directly, use the mailinglist. Unless it is something you want only me to know. -- shakespeare: /(bb|[^b]{2})/
