==Introduction==
This patch allows you to modify the carrier string so that instead of displaying "Sprint", it will show whatever you want it to. For instance, you could show your love for your phone and change the string to "PalmPre". On the other hand, you could bypass the $1000 iPhone application, and simply state "I'm Rich". Either way, it adds a touch of personality to your phone.

Also included are instructions on how to change the color of the font of the carrier string and the date-and-time string in the middle of the top bar.

+Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails.  The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

+Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.
