My first attempt .. what do ya think?

[Xian]

So I just started learning how to make these when I got home from work today. I know it's rough and REALLY basic but I'd like your opinions on it. What can I do to make it better or what should I know for future projects?


Home Screen:




Missed calls:

Great Job. When you add the "missed calls" plugin, how do you link it to the different picture?

haha i love it...great work...
you need to add this code to get the missed calls screen to add an image

<!--standard missed calls plugin-->
<plugin clsid="{0BA8ABB8-1F1D-417f-88C6-DA8530E2E7A6}" name="missedcalls" height="220">
<background b-border-width="0" bgimage="\Application Data\Home\XXXX.jpg" valign="top">
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
</background>
<label halign="center" bgcolor="#999999" fgcolor="#000000" font-weight="bold" y="60" w="320" h="220" font-size="32">
<format state="nocall" visible="false"/>
<text lang="0x0409">Missed calls: <calls/></text>
</label>
</plugin>

hope this helps!

Thanks Scott. I actually used the one you made me as my guide and just started moving stuff around, seeing what changed what, etc.

no problem

So as I learned while heading in to work this morning, the color scheme is HORRIBLE because you can't see it when you're in the sun. And I live in Arizona so I'm never not in the sun. (I swear, it sneaks into any room of any building I'm in ... the sun out here is like a stalker or a bad ex-girlfriend).

So ... I think I'm going to start from scratch and try another one. Later. Not now. Cause, ya know, I'm at work.

lol that never stopped me...GO FOR IT!
