How can i change the shortcut icons on my E200 homescreen?

[Guest Baddass]

ok, i like the orange format homescreen, but i want the shortcuts at the top to link to different programs. how can i simply edit it so they link to different appz that i use more often?? i dont need to change the icon sizes or anything, and im happy withe the shortcut icons for each program as they appear in the start menu for now

thanks

Hiya,

if you look at the top of the homescreen file (there are a few examples for download) you can edit the

action=""

parameter in the plugins

if you change

StorageWindowsStart MenuCall History.lnk etc

to the location of the application that you want to go to then it will work fine and still show the icons.

You can also alter the action of the plugin with the urls just put in the web pages you want. Searching for http in the file is probably the easiest way to locate the URLs as the "grouping" of the submenus makes the XML pretty full on.

cool, ill have a look at that 2nite. i can see its not too hard to change the link location for the shortcuts, and i see the "chicon" bit links to the relevent icon number

how can i tell what icon number media player is for example?

You don't need to do that in this case.

If you want to use the app icon then just remove the icon="" argument ad the shortcut will get the default icon out for you without you having to tell it do so.

cool!! so for example if i just changed the link for the web icon (second from left at top) to say WMplayer then that would show the media player icon too? thats cool........at the moment if u go to the calender link at the top for example it brings up 2 options underneath, 1 for event and 1 for alarm where u can scroll down to them and click on them. are these actions just default for those icons? will media player have equivalents or will it still link to the events and alarms bit that the calender.lnk was connected to?

hope that makes sense :)
