Smaller MRU app icons

I've had the habit of installing PocketPC .tsk themes on my SAP. Under the Home Screen settings, I select 'Basic layout' since it's neat-looking (unlike the cluttered 'Full layout') and displays just the information I need.

However, another thing I would need on this homescreen is the MRU (most recently used) apps tray that only appears under 'Full layout,' but with smaller icons.

So I'm looking for some help to get either of the following done:

1) have the MRU tray with small icons appear in the "Basic layout;' or

2) decrease MRU icon size under 'Full layout' and remove SMART links

What's the easiest way to get this done without modifying XML code (via Smartphone 2002 SDK)?

Huh? You can't... It's all in the XML which is independent of the homescreen... hme files.

You have to create your own XML files.

Is it also correct to conclude that a registry editor (PHM) won't do the job too? Btw, which XML files refer to the Basic and Full layouts? I'm thinking about taking a crack at modifying it. I don't know code though.

Although it would really help if someone's done the job already and post the modified layouts. Please!

The XML files are in the Windows folder... Root directory... not the IPSM.

Copy them to your desktop PC and you can edit them with Notepad.

It looks like HTML... so it shouldn't be that difficult.

Thanks to you and Midnight (for the plugin line), my Full Layout now has small MRU icons and no longer displays the SMART links!!
