    Nothing a little Google search won't tell you, I think? See "this":http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/TSQ001327_-_Qt_and_S60_settings_management_comparison, for example.

            write and read under eachother? (10,11)
            line 40 looks strange, you read the setting using a string red?

                          Hi imrrk,

                          Where do you call readSettings()? It is commented out at the constructor.

                          Regards,
                          Leon

                            Do you really expect being taken serious when crying like a childish kiddie? Come on, get serious!

                            -And look at your code if it is ever able to do what you expect it to do!-

                            -Or better: Use a debugger, set breakpoints and step through the code. You will find the error yourself then within seconds.-

                            -Hopefully nobody will tell you the solution here, as it has no learning effect.-

                            EDIT: wrong read of code, sorry

                                    r.name();
                                    settings.setValue("color",r.name());@
