Changing App Icon Size

[Guest kroblanx]

I was wondering how I could change the size of the apps icons under 'Home Screen Layout.'

I find the 'Full Layout' icons too big and prefer the look of the 'Basic Layout,' only that it doesn't show app icons on the homescreen. How can I get the 'Basic Layout' to show small app icons?

Btw, I use the PocketPC Fire theme. It looks great on the Tanager!

You'd need to edit the plugin tag for the MRU list. The only supported sizes currently are 16x16 pixels and 32x32 pixels, you define this with the icon-size="" attribbue of the tag.

So for a mru on your homescreen with smaller icons your mru plugin would be as follows:

<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}">


     <mru icon-size="16"/>


</plugin>[/code]


(btw that should read "plugin" not "plug-in", forums being weird)


Check out this white paper for details on customising your own homescreen:

Heh, sorry, thats the auto linking stuff. Remove the "-" from plug-in is what i'm trying to say :)

Whoa. I don't know anything about code. The MS whitepaper tells me that I need something like the Smartphone 2002 SDK to get the job done. Is there really no other way? Install size is 360MB!!

Whatever the case, which XML files refer to the default Basic and Full layouts? I've done a file search and I can't find them.

Thanks for the plug-in, Midnight. I'm wondering if anyone's already written an XML small MRU icon layout that works with .tsk themes..

You da man, Midnight. I did it!! Thanks.
