Home Screen customizing for WM 6.1

[destombes_chris]

The Slide Panel feature is a nice addition, and seemes to offer more ways of customizing home screens.

Looking around the forums, I've learned most of the possibilities, but a few remain unknown for me.

- in a XML file (\windows\slidingpanel.home.xml) you decide general colors, iconbar, etc..

- in a XML file (\windows\chome_240x320.cpr for me) you can decide the position, size, font of the different parts of the blocks.

- in the registry (HKLM\software\microsoft\chome) you decide which parts are enabled, and the details of some of them (for example : settings).

I've not understood :
- how to change the icon on the top left of every panel ?
- where those icons are stored ?
- Is there any possibility of settings for the content : for example, I can see 2 days of apointments. can I change this to 3 or 4 ?

Does anybody know a good bible on that ?

Thanks

As for as icons, edit them in the reg. Under ICONPATHS (it may have numbers like 2450;2451), the first # I think is the selected panel icon and second # is unselected panel icon. You can change these icons numbers to a file location like this: \My Documents\
icons\sel.png;\My Documents\icons\unsel.png
You can make them any location or filename, main memory is better than storage card. Size of the icon is controlled by the cpr file(width="" and height="") and its displayed location(left="" and top=""). You can change Picture in reg same way but it would just be one icon in that value, not 2. You can also add extra icons, pics, or even panel backgrounds to different style panels if you want, but that is a little different.:D

Thanks for the tips, I'm learning day after day...

One mistake in my post : there is a second set of keys for that in the registry : HKLM/security/chome/defaultsettings. The first set of keys seems to be overwritten during every boot with the content of this second set of keys. To save a modification, you need to modify the 2 sets at the same time.

You don't get all those time consuming possibilities with a plain Nokia phone... !;)
