Root LED control after rooting?

These are probably silly questions, but I know I am not the only one who has them.

I came from many years of using a Blackberry. I LOVE the colored LED on the front of the phones that you can assign to just about anything.

I want to do this with my Droid X, but the software I've found has been limiting (Hancent sort of works, allowing SMS colors, but you are only limited to a few colors and the blink rate is slow. Plus, it only works when the screen is off.)

I have yet to find an app that allows assigning colors to more than one e-mail account.

Will rooting allow more control and/or colors of the front-facing LED and are there apps available that will do this effectively?

:thinking:.
