X/Y coordinates help in XML file

[Guest Sq322]

I would be so grateful if someone could poke at my files and help me.

I pinched code from W411y's tut as well as some of Gadgets screens.

I created my own background image (well i did pinch some icons from other file) but cannot for the life of me get the plugins lined up right

I know it all has to do with how i am coding the x/y coordinates.

Can someone please fix this xml file for me and/or give me distinct direction on how to measure the x/y.

(I know where in photoshop to measure them, i just have issues with placements so they show on screen...(x/y and plugin height)

XML file attached

thx in advance

if you have photoshop, you can open up the side rulers and set them to pixels to narrow down your x/y

Thx. I got that far in my quest. My issue is the proper coordinates and heights to use. I know each plugin has its own height and the x/y of each plugin rests inside that plugin. I just for the life of me cant seem to get it straight.

Oops 5 mins turned into 5 hours :D I'll do that image guide thingy now :D

[Guest w411y]

Please not mate this is not at all accurate but simply a guide. For all I know there could of been a plugin in that gap in the middle. Its simply a guide :D
