Trying to understand iMate SP5 XML HS

[Guest sjalloq]

Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can help me with some xml problems I'm having. I'm new to all this hacking malarky so bear with me. :?:

The default homescreen that came with my SP5 has the following code at the bottom:

<plugin clsid="{95976968-45D5-40c9-9779-2B859B1C2FEC}" name="profile" height="25">

  <background>

 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

  </background>

  <label>

 	 <text lang="0x0409" singleline="true">Profile: <profile/></text>

  </label>

	</plugin>


	<plugin clsid="{4e822425-a00f-497c-80ff-1c554665a369}" name="cooltext" height="25">

  <scrolltext textsource="cellbroadcast"/>

  <background>

 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

 	 </background>

	</plugin>


	<plugin clsid="{DCE58428-275E-491f-B835-F2AC38D0CC17}" name="voicemail" height="25">

  <background>

 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

  </background>

  <label>

 	 <text lang="0x0409">Voicemail: <unreadVMail/></text>

<unreadVMail/></text>

  </label>

	</plugin>	


	<plugin clsid="{8486CC1E-025B-4888-9C76-048DF7C1787D}" name="msgcount2" height="25" autoheight="false">

  <background>

 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

  </background>

  <mail account="sms"/>

	</plugin>


	<plugin clsid="{8486CC1E-025B-4888-9C76-048DF7C1787D}" name="msgcount2" height="25" autoheight="false">

  <background>

 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

  </background>

  <mail account="activesync"/>

	</plugin>


	<plugin clsid="{8486CC1E-025B-4888-9C76-048DF7C1787D}" name="msgcount2" height="25" autoheight="true">

  <text padding-bottom="5"/>

  <background>

 	 <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>

  </background>

  <mail account="others"/>

	</plugin>

When I load the homescreen, the plugins that show up are: "Profile: Normal" and "Text Messages (0)". What are the "activesync" and "others" plugins? And why are they floating half way up my homescreen and not locked to the bottom?

I'd also appreciate anyone with an unmodifed default xml file for the SP5 to upload it, just so I can check that I haven't corrupted my own file.

Thanks.

"ActiveSync" and "Others" are invisible on the screen until the status changes. If their status would change, they would become visible above the SMS count so that's why they are not locked to the bottom.

I can not post an unmodified file from the place I am right now, but as far as I can see, your xml is not corrupt.

Yeah, why is it that sms gets to be on screen even if it is 0, yet email and others only show up if they have 1 or more msg's?

I'd rather my pop3 inbox show up instead of sms. I write and receive emails much more often than text messages, and being able to click on the inbox directly from my homescreen would be GREAT.

Is there any way to change which msgbox gets to display even if zero?

Not an expert, but have you tried moving the SMS down and having the other one above it? Seems like the best way too me.
