when i first got the Q1 i changed the 2 links that are on the default Verizon home screen, currently i won't find links in my homescreen because there are none :}

show me your homescreen (screen shot) so i know what you exactly mean.

from my old homescreen:



<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\WordPad.lnk" image="\Application Data\Home\myPhone\mediasmall.jpg"/>
<format state="activeSelected" image="\Application Data\Home\myPhone\mediabig.jpg"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\WordPad.lnk" image="\Application Data\Home\myPhone\notes2.jpg"/>
<format state="activeSelected" image="\Application Data\Home\myPhone\notes2LG.jpg"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\Bluetooth\Bluetooth Manager.lnk" image="\Application Data\Home\myPhone\bluetoothsmall.jpg"/>

Is this what you are talking about? you can edit certain plugins, like facade, you can change links in there, but others you cant.

I can't get that code to work. I altered it to use my links and jpgs and still no go. Can you post the whole xml file text?

Thanks.

Also, here is what I was refering to. Below is the Carrier plugin. If you click on this plugin on the homescreen, it takes you to the Bluetooth/Phone screen. There is no link to that shortcut contained in the xml, since it is coded into the plugin.

<plugin clsid="{E09043DF-510E-4841-B652-388316977A7A}" name="carrier" height="33">
<allowselection/>
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
</background>
<label font-size="22" >
<text><carrier/></text>
</label>
<label y="21" textwidth="163">
<text><wifi/></text>
</label>
<clock>
<time y="-5" halign="center" font-size="38" />
<date y="4" halign="right" font-size="19"/>
</clock>
</plugin>
