Ok, I am basically running into a problem when it comes to adding multiple plugin in a row using homescreen builder 2007. I can add third party plugins but I can't add sms/email/mms on the same row. I could do this with madbeetle but I couldn't add 3rd party plugins or didn't know how. So, now I'm flat out at a loss.

Background:
I have installed the Jrulez cab and that should be eliminating my problem to begin with but no dice!

I'm using WM6 on the HTC bright 1.33.

I basically need more space but it's due to the rows not allowing me. I put the sms/email & say profile on the same row and I can't scroll to both but only one when I load it to my homescreen.

Any help much appreciated.

I think I've made some progress. I noticed on facades settings there was an orange homescreen plugin that was not checked. I'll take a look at HB2007 and try to reload the homescreen.

I got nothing....I can't figure it out. I got no mojo. :(

Basically I'm throwing it out there. Madbeetle and Homescreen Designer 2007 are still not idiot proof. Well basically the Dash/Excaliber makers are turds.

This is all I needed to know.

This was quoted from Der Alta and n99Hockey @ EverythingQ

The Orange Plugin is a great little piece of software, but there is also a bit of a mystery surrounding it. As n99hockey stated, there is no infomation on it, so you have no choice but to learn it by studying others and expanding upon what they have done.


sadly there is no manual or editor that uses it


So, basically learning XML is the only way to truly understand this...arg:mad:
