I could do it for you if you uploaded the picture of the homescreen too. But I will attempt to explain: your current calendar .xml has a calendar plug-in at the bottom of the page. You need to remove that plug-in code. then, you need to copy this:

<!-- Facades Scheduler -->
<plugin clsid="{C49CEC80-D445-407C-AA72-C263EDBBAC96}" id="facadeschedule" type="Schedule" height="75"/>


and place it in your current .xml that we are editing. If you place it below the date plug-in, it should appear below the date on your screen. I would need your pic to do it for you b/c it may be off a little bit. you may have to adjust the height of other plug-ins until it looks good.

Tasks I'm not sure of. I will make a run at this after work. Have you tried to edit the xml with my instructions? It sounded like you have some xml editing experience which is why I posted the step-by-step. No biggie either way - just lemme know if you get it under control. & I may have to move the pic and make it a little smaller if that's ok...to make it work.

[willbreakforrice]

yeah, i actually used a different xml file with your instructions, got it to work fine. thanks.

Just got home and was about to take a crack at this...but if you're good to go then I won't worry about it. Thanks for letting me know!

thanks again, but if you could figure out how to get the tasks visible under an appointment, that would be great..something like:

Friday, Oct 12
>Vegas trip
-pack clothes
-gas car

something like that..

No problem. The only time I've seen tasks on a home screen is using the default Facade home screens with the tabs. You may want to ask Der Alta or one of the more experienced home screen makers b/c I'm fairly new to it all.

Edit: Actually, I just found this. Give it a try...

John was/is correct, you'll need Facade if you want more then one appointment on the home screen. when it comes to tasks Facade can display those also.

i do have facade. and i know facade can display tasks on the homescreen, i just want to know how i can edit the xml file to show the example i made.

like this, all on the homescreen:

TODAY, OCT 3,WED
>APPOINTMENT
- TASK
- TASK
TOMORROW, OCT 4, THUR
>APPOINTMENT
- TASK
- TASK

..all under one column, without the tabs.
