Mobile Gadget News :: Making Your Mobile Life Simpler _ Motorola Q _ Plugins? Where are they?

Posted by: smudley Aug 17 2007, 07:42 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum and new to customizing my homescreen.
I see that plugins will give your screen a different look but where do you find a list of plugins
and their parameters and what they do?

Somewhere there's a list, no?

Thanks,

Smudley

There's a basic list of the plugins available http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839391.aspx. The plugins are all arranged in an xml file in the Application Data/Home folder on your phone. I've found the easiest way of figuring out what the xml code for a plugin you want is to find a homescreen that already contains that plugin in an xml file. You can then open the xml file on your PC using Notepad, and go through it looking at the plugins compared to the homescreen until you find the plugin you want. Then you can simply copy/paste the code from that xml into your xml, and place it on your phone.
