Q9m Screen Shortcuts

[Gerlach]

Folks, This is probably just me and something I've done or not done. Have downloaded several great home screens. Unfortunately the screen short cuts are not what I've set in the "Personalize My Q" application. Since the Q9m runs WM6 and most screens appear to be written for WM5, I expect that's where the problem lies. Any insight would be appreciated.

welcome aboard...

can't you just adjust/edit the .xml ?

You will have to edit the XML, and I've been meaning for a couple of days to throw this out to the forums. All of the custom homescreens that you download will use the standard MRU, but if you're like me you want to keep the specific programs that you've setup through "Personalize my Q". To do this you'll need to open up the XML file in an editor (I just use Notepad). Find where the MRU code is (most coders are nice enough to put a comment at the beginning of the section) and replace it with this code:


MRU list: using small icons --> - -
- <plugin clsid="{D79E963B-2730-499c-A2CA-E48F383E6417}" name="startmru">
<translaterockerkeys />

<background b-border-width="0" />

<mru icon-size="16" x="68" y="8" halign="left" valign="center" max-buttons="8" />

</plugin>



So far for me that has worked on every homescreen I've downloaded, YMMV. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was trying to stay away from becoming a programmer again (something I gave up about 20 years ago.) So what I did was take a screen I liked that worked and made it better with a few simple changes. I took the VZW basic screen and moved the time to the left and made it bigger. The date went to the right on the same line as the time and a little bigger. Now both are readable to my old bloodshot eyes.

Thanks to both people who posted responses.
