the only thing I can think of is either there is an align to bottom or a percentage height.

you can do percentage width but I tried the height but it didn't work, but then the documentation is pretty sparse:)  although there should be more detailed docs soon.

Marsbar, i think i figured out why you could scroll in your home screen after messing around with it for a while. You should remove the

<plugin file="sysplug.dll" clsid="{5419F376-6520-4407-B8B8-740F5B353EDA}" name="label" height="115" />

plugin the only thing it does is make an empty caption with no text and 115 height...

[cjb110]

to get the mru list or another plugin at the bottom the only way is to use this method:(

and of course as one of the other plugins grows (say the calendar one) then the home screen goes a bit screwy.

My current home screen is the full layout with Luna theme - the only thing that id like there to be on the home screen is:-

SMS, MMS, Email as is displayed on the orange layout 1 theme

but on the luna full layout theme it only displays SMS, Email?

and also 2 repeat what another user said, has anyone got the small icons like shown on the MSDN site working yet?

if i get anywhere myself ill post a ling with a zip file of the theme.

thanx in advance for any help

yep, mine's like that - only had a quick play so it's not that diff to the 'full' layout except for smaller icons (in the usual place, not at the bottom) plus a full message list (including mms etc).

Can anyone tell me what the best way of getting rid of the horizontal lines on my above attached home screen is?

[Lojt]

night, i dont think you can remove the line under the msg status...

Heres my homescreen btw:

[cjb110]

to remove the lines add a borderwidth=0 property to what ever sections you don't want borders on

[prycop1]

If anyone is intrested here's my home screen.
Described from the top as follows:

5 large 'Orange' origional icons but showing Orange, contacts, Calendar, Windows Media Player and Calculator

Network service and time

SMS, MMS and E-Mail

4 small 'Orange' icons but with the 'News' and 'Sport' icons linking to the BBC text based sevice.

2 lines for Calendar - shows upcoming appointment entry plus time and date

Last line row of 9 icons showing previously used programs.

The scheme is a shade of blue and the background is a wintery scene.

Thanks Paul.

I hope it's not just me being a complete dougnut and doin somthing wrong.

:oops:

[awarner]

I have found that if you use Mozilla instead of IE they download and work with an extension of .zip.php instead of .zip?
I have asked Paul if he knows if this is the cause.

[LiquidFX]

I managed to get the small icons (still at the top) and change the full layout so that email, sms and mms show up but is thier anyone who knows how to get the date displayed on the home screen (preferably on the same line but with a few spaces from where the time is displayed?

[MarsBar]

You can bring them closer by adding a w and x setting for the time value
