Need some help

[Krayzie]

Okay guys I'm new to this forum and new to PDA phones. I just got my Moto Q on friday, I was looking around and see you can put custom home screen. Well I don't know how to program this stuff. I made a custom background the way I like it to layout.

The way I have my icon do I need to buy some type of plugin? I hope somebody don't mind helping me with it. All I know is photoshop work haha. Thanks for you guys time

PS the top right I would like it to have the battery life and signal like how it is now on the Moto Q, I just didnt put it on it.

i would start without using plugins... do that later, a good tutorial can be found here: http://www.modaco.com/Tutorial-Creat...s-t233425.html

You may wanna start learning a bit xml with w411y's excellent turorial over at MoDaCo.
I can't help with the Orange plugin thing, since I don't use it.

ditto...
you sure didnt pick an easy one to start with....
download some other homescreens and check out there xml format to kinda get a a handle on what is what...the tutorial is also a really good way
