 Howdy folks,

Hoping I can find some help here. I'm trying to write and improvise some
xml homescreens for a windows mobile 2003se device. I've tried the windows
homescreen designer but its a bit dated.

I'm wondering if anyone has a list of plugins available. The two I'm most
interested in are the last call plugin and the voicemail plugin. If I
install the motorola default homescreen on the phone both show as a full
line across the screen. I've tried finding the xml file for the default
homescreen but have not been able to locate it in the phone. If anyone can
find the file for the default homescreen or provide those plugins that would
be great.

If anyone has any info or can help out at all I'd be pleased to hear from
you.

 Hey Kevin

The default location for home screen xml files is

storage --> application data --> home (note this is "storage" and not
"storage card").

I've just started doing these myself and the only bit of advice I can give
you is to look at as many home screens as you can, see what you like about
what ones then grab the xml from them. Modaco has some nice ones. The only
annoying bit about them is when add/ remove a bit of the screen you have to
copy it to your device .. refreash the home screen and see if you like it.
Some sort of emulator would be cool but I guess we can't have everything !!

What extension do you name your file before putting it in the
\Storage\Application Data\Home folder ? Thanks for your help.
