I have my Q homescreen edited pretty much to how I want it. There's just one thing left that's bothering me, the Bluetooth plugin. It doesn't seem to change the font size, weight, or face with the changes I made to the homescreen. Anyone with a knowlege of xml editing (I actually just started a few days ago. This is my first custom homescreen) have any ideas? The plugin code is: <!-- Bluetooth Plugin --> <plugin clsid="{df648b7e-7645-419d-ba0b-503acea3edfb}"> </plugin> Here's a picture of what my home screen looks like. So is the plugin something in the registry that can't be changed? Ideas?

I also wouldn't mind having the text a little larger and bolded like this home screen. But then the smaller unbolded Fizz plugin bothers me. At very least I'd want to get the city name bold, but that option isn't in the software and I don't think it can be done with the plugin. Here's the Fizz plugin if anyone has any ideas: <!-- Fizz Weather --> <plugin clsid="{30DF3430-2005-0509-BAA6-00AA003E0EED}" name="WeatherPlugin" height="54" > <general sepline="true"/> </plugin> <!-- Fizz Weather End-->

Well, here's my current homescreen. Doing the 7 day view cuts the city name out, so it's not quite so annoying. But it would still be nice to get it bolded. Can you change the size or font parameter for just one plugin? I changed it at the top of the homescreen, but am not sure how to enter it for just 1 plugin. My homescreen xml is below as well.

i usually add "font-size=x" and/or font-weight="500" to each plugin where i want to increase the size and increase boldness. the larger the number (in font weight) the more bold it appears. here's an example for my MRU plugin:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="36"> <mru max-buttons="9" icon-size="16" halign="left" x="4" y="3"/> <background bgcolor="transparent"/> <appname halign="left" y="20" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" font-weight="500" font-size="14"/> </plugin>
here's an example for the carrier: <!--Carrier--> <plugin clsid="{E09043DF-510E-4841-B652-388316977A7A}" name="carrier" height="19"> <label> <text x="1" halign="right" y="0" font-size="16" font-weight="600"> <carrier/> </text> </label> </plugin>

Hey guys, I know this may sound silly but what folder are these XML files in? Can't seem to find them or maybe its just late? Thanks, Tim

The homescreen xml files are in the Application Data\Home folder. I tried your suggestion every way I could imagine cortez, but it always caused the homescreen to become unloadable. It must be something with the plugin.

No, I haven't tried using anything to validate the code. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep working on it and see what I can come up with.

i'd rem-out the Fizz plugin to see if that's the problem; or in other words, keep the Fizz plugin from loading. it could be that the plugin doesn't support font-size and font-weight.

In the home folder I can find some of hte XML files but only a couple. The one that I particularly want to modify is the VZW Full Layout XML file but it is not in that folder and does not appear to be a hidden file either. Am I missing something or should I be looking somewhere elsewhere? Thanks Guys, Tim

What method are you using to try and view it? I used Activesync's Explore function to go to that folder, and it was right there.

That is what is was using last night to view it but it was not there at all. Several others were but not that file? so you actually see it in that folder? I am not at the home pc now so I can't open it from here. Tim

HELP....Frustration with my new Q. K...so i wan to change my Verizon Home Screen on my new Q......problem is that once i've made changes to my xml file and try to paste it back to the Q using windows explorer i get an error saying "Cannot copy vzw.full.hom:Access denied. Make sure your mobile devic has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read only, and that you have permission to copy this file type.". I have tried editing the a currently installed xml......creating a new one.....when pasting back i get the same error for both. I have made sure that the home screen running on the Q is different than the one I'm trying to past to but still get the same error. Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, MiKe QUOTE (protech5 @ Jun 20 2006, 09:17 AM) In the home folder I can find some of hte XML files but only a couple.

You have to app unlock the phone first to be able to overwrite and move around system files. I followed the directions posted here, and it works great. Even though the downloaded application is called SDA_ApplicationUnlock, it worked with my Q.

Thanks,
MiKe Rename the XML with a different name than one that is already on the phone. To validate your code before you put it back on the phone just open it with Internet Explorer. It will tell you if you have a code error. Smeg, one reason I like SBSH Pocket Weather is the fact that you have complete control over the font size, color type etc. Maybe you should give it a try if Fizz can't be altered.

Smeg,
Have you tried something like this, I don't have my Smartphone with me to test.

I had SBSH Pocket Weather for my Pocket PC Phones, but they don't have a Smartphone version, so it won't run on the Q. I really liked their software. Other than the limited plugin, Fizz is working well. I'll try your suggestions now.
