Basic Home Screen with Buttons - Motorola Q Forum

PScottH · 03-02-2007, 10:19 AM

I couldn't find a Home Screen that did what I really wanted without having to install additional plugins, so I made this one and figured I would share it.

It isn't very fancy, but it also doesn't require any plugins other than those that already come preinstalled on the Verizon Q.

Buttons can be customized to link to any program or website by modifying the XML file.

looks nice.. just started "messing" w/ Facade home screens, but definitely a clean cool screen you made.

PScottH:

Great idea for a homescreen. Very unique!

I don't suppose you could overlay those button graphics to my Crossbow/WM6 background found in this thread? e.g. just edit the Crossbow.jpg file.

I think your layout and the Crossbow design would look great together.

Nice job! that's certainly different than most of the home screen I see.

This is a nice screen. Can you add maybe a speed dial button that takes you to a list of your favorite dials? Also, can you eliminate the bottom 2 buttons and have hte calender line in there and swap out the calender icon for something else? How difficlut is this to do?

Are the home screens only for Verizon Moto Q's or will the Sprint ones do the same?

Is my assumption correct that the programs must be in device storage and not on the storage card?
