Homescreen Smartmonitor problem

[Guest Vampireslayer]

Hi, sorry for my terrible english, Im from Czech republic. I made my own homescreen and now i have a problem. I want three plugins on homescreen - SMS plugin, Profile plugin and Smart monitor plugin.

But they doesnt fit - smartmonitor plugin is out of screen and i can only choose it when i press down on my MPx200. See the pictures

This is SMS and Profile plugin

When i press down, screen move and i can see my Smartmonitor plugin

And this is, what i want - all three plugins on my homescreen - I made this pictures with Photoshop

XML file is HERE

Can anyone help please?, Im completely ruined and unhappy because of this. :cry:

Thanks for reactions

Looks good- the problem is that the Monitor plugin has a height of 200, so all the visible bits are off the screen, so when you select it it pushes the top plugins off the top. Change it's height to 80 in this bit, and it will fit on the screen;

<plugin clsid="{05E393E9-1712-41ac-B9D3-533B52F10A36}" name="SmartMonitor" selectable="false" height="80">

Then to shift the actual bars etc. up to where you want them, take 120 off the y coordinates for each of the elements; ie;

 <text x="121" y="24" color="COLOR_HOMETEXT">Memory</text>

 	 <memory x="153" y="24" color="COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT">{free-percentage}%</memory>

 	 <meterbar x="150" y="24"

etc.

Hope that helps.

Sorry for bothering, but I have the same problem with homescreen. I decided, that I add another plugin (RJ Shortcut). I dont know, how shall I set up these values

<format padding-left="0" padding-top="180" padding-bottom="0"/>

to reach this homescreen (made with Photoshop too)

New XML is HERE

I try to understand guide on your personal website, but my english is very poor. Sorry for my inefficiency.

Sorry but You cant have two plugins in the same horizontal space.

You could move your SmartMonitor values to be side-by-side, then put the rjshortcut plugin under it.

Memory - Battery

Storage - SD

Signal

Then the shorcts could be placed along the bottom row under the Smartmonitor plugin.

[Guest scott2eyes]

Nothing to apologize for! The thing you need to bear in mind is that each plugin takes up a horizontal band across the homescreen, so you can't put 2 plugins side by side next to one another.

The only exception to this that I know of is using the Orange plugin that's on the E200 and C500, which works by "nesting" plugins next to one another, but even that doesn't seem to work with certain plugins.

The only thing I can suggest is to rearrange the monitor bars to free up some space underneath and put the shortcuts in there.

[Edit- in other words, what encece said!]

Thanks for your advices, I will solve it somehow. When it will be done, I add this homescreen to the gallery.

This is my last question, I promise. The same problem again, I thoutght, that I understood the principle of this, but everything is going wrong now. I want to place Analog clock next to the Sopranos writing, but Smart monitor plugin and Analog clock plugin fight for place and destroy my conception. :lol:

The problem seems to be that the "y" values of the Smartmonitor plugin all start off at 30- meaning that there's 30 pixels of empty space at the top of it where you want the RJTime clock to be. If you subtract 30 from each of the "y" coordinates, that should shift the monitorbar plugins up the screen to where you want them.

Thank for your answer, I will try it tomorrow (today I have an exam :cry: ).

[Guest scott2eyes]

Good luck!

Thank you very much, skin is almost done now, I have to make a couple of changes, but nothing serious.

When I upload it into the database, I should write you as a co-author :lol: , because without your help, I didnt make it.

BTW: I passed the exam, I got E.
