I jsut got into it myself a month ago, i'm familiar with html and so this xml
while different in a lot of ways seems similar.
What you have done is insert the icon bar as the first plugin (left) on the horizontal line and next to it should be showing the carrier and time it looks like, but it isnt.
I think the problem is those x,y, & w coordinates, i would take those out and change the halign from "left" to "right"
I've have a home page I'm working on right now that I did kind of the same thing with trying to conserve that precious real estate. I opted to have the time and date on the left and my icons on the right.
here is my code:
<plugin height="30" width="99%" handlekeys="CHILD" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}" font-color="#32b6e6">
<shortcut width="80">
<plugin clsid="{44FA0F8C-082F-42b4-BE49-82559F23D5D4}" name="clock" height="30">
<time y="-2" halign="left" font-size="18" font-weight="bold"/>
<date y="12" halign="left"/>
</plugin>
</shortcut>
<shortcut width="235">
<plugin clsid="{837FC251-FE69-43ad-84E0-EBCEDEBA0884}" name="iconbar" height="30">
<iconbar fgcolor="#336ee7" halign="right"/>
<background bgcolor="transparent" b-border-color="COLOR_WINDOWFRAME"/>
</plugin>
</shortcut>
</plugin>
