Homescreen Design Help

[Guest SassKwatch]

Am a full on noob at designing homescreens and have been utilizing a couple tutorials that address the subject via direct editing of the xxx+.home.xml file. And though the tutes do a good job of explaining much of the process, I've run across a couple things not addressed (or maybe missed by me).

For example, in the MRU plugin, I see the following...

<mru y="2" icon-size="16" halign="left" valign="center" />

And in the carrier plugin, I see.....

<label h="15">

 	 <text><carrier/></text>

  </label>

  <clock>

 	 <time y="15" /><date y="15" halign="right" />

  </clock>

It's the y="x" parameter I'm trying to figure out. When I first saw it in the MRU plugin, I assumed it was some sort of height parameter, but in the carrier plugin, there seems to be an h="x" parameter that controls the 'height' of items. So, I'm not sure what the y parameter accomplishes here.

Can anyone explain the y parameter usage to me?

Thanks!

y is the coordinate for the vertical position of whatever it refers to - text in the code you posted above. The best thing to do with xml is change something, then load it on the phone & see what has happened!

Ahhh..., position. Of course.

Thanks!
