I just installed the latest version of Pocket Stars on my new Axim X30; and everything looks fine except for the icons along the bottom. Each one of them is split down the middle, with space in the split.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Pocket Stars PDA Version 3.0. Beta
Thank you for your interest in Pocket Stars PDA! This beta program covers the enhancements described below.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you encounter any problems with this beta. Feedback that everything is going smoothly helps too! The code has been tested for stability and memory leaks and we anticipate problems (if any) will be layout or display related.
Features
Pocket Stars PDA Version 3.0 is primarily an update to support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (hereafter WM2003SE). The most significant addition is support for new screen resolutions, some with increased dots per inch (DPI), and landscape, portrait, and square display modes. Here’s a list of the supported screen formats:
320x240, portrait and landscape (QVGA)
640x480, portrait and landscape HIDPI (VGA)
480x480, square HIDPI
240x240, square
Also, the following features have been added or modified since the last release:
Full Screen This option hides the title bar, increasing the screen real estate available for the star chart. Additionally, this helps preserve night vision when working in “Red” mode. To access, “Tap-n-Hold” on the main star chart, then select “Full Screen”. This control is a toggle, so click it again to disable Full Screen.
Moved “Flip Star chart East-West” from Menu.Preferences to “Tap-n-Hold.Horizon” menu. This is purely a cosmetic change to make landscape display work better.
Many dialogs have been modified to work in Landscape mode. These changes are generally cosmetic.
“Menu.Preferences.Small Fonts” has a more pronounced effect at reducing/enlarging the fonts used on the star chart, especially in VGA resolution.
Known problems
Compass rose doesn’t scale up at HIDPI resolutions. (Should it???)
Installation Information
0. Installation is exactly the same procedure as version 2.x.
1. Exit Pocket Stars if it is currently running on your PDA (either "Menu.About.Exit", CTRL Q, Start.Settings.System.Memory.Running Programs.Stop, soft reset, or other task manager).
2. Connect your PDA to your PC and ensure that Active Sync is reporting that your PDA is synchronized.
3. Download the beta of Pocket Stars from one of the links below.

Yes. The split icons problem ONLY appears on Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (hereafter WM2003SE) devices, such as the Axim X30.
I've been working on a new release to support all of the new resolutions in WM2003SE (VGA, QVGA, landscape, portrait, and square) for several months and I'm hoping to kick this out the door by July 21.
A beta of the WM2003SE version is available. It has been tested for stability and resource leaks and I've gotten feedback from a number of people that it's ready to release. I'm just holding off to add one small enhancement totally unrelated to this problem.
If you're too impatient to wait for this formal release, I'll post the beta announcement below, which you can use at your own risk.
