Re: Changing the appearance of home screen

Hi Den - I did manage to get the icons on the home page but I can't get them placed at the bottom the way you have them. They seem to be in a box and it moves all around but I can't get it to go at the bottom.

Any ideas???

Thanks.

Re: Changing the appearance of home screen

Johnx - that link does not work - it takes you to the personal launcher but when you press Install it does not work.

I do already have personal launcher installed but wanted to let you and others know that the link above does not work.

Re: Changing the appearance of home screen

on putting things inside personal launcher, is it not enough to drag them from the right column to the left one? ;)

Re: Changing the appearance of home screen

Yes, but how do i get the icons on the botom of the home screen - just like the post at the beginning of this thread by Den. That is my main problem at the moment.

Re: Changing the appearance of home screen

tap the wrench in the personal launcher settings window, uncheck "use resizable layout", select rows from dropdown menu below, drag the whole personal launcher area on the desktop to the bottom.

tso - thank you so much - it worked great - thanks again.

Select "Home" in the top left corner of your screen, then click "Select Applets". Make sure that "Personal Launcher is checked. Then hit "ok". Next select "Home", "Applet Settings" and then "Personal Launcher". On the right hand side of the screen, find Pigin among the installed applications and highlight by tapping once. Now, (very important) write down the displayed information at the bottom left of the screen (Name, Executable, and DBUS). Now click the plus sign at the bottom right which brings up the "Add Command" window. Take the information that you wrote down earlier and fill in the first three rows. Do not click "Run in Terminal" or "Run as Root". After selecting an icon, select "OK". Next, select the "Tools" icon at the bottom of the screen. For "Visual Settings" I use: Icon size 64, Corner Radius 10, Enable Animations is checked, Padding between icons is 12, and check Use Resizable Layout.

I haven't done any shortcuts to a website, maybe someone else can help.

The "Backround" for the desktop is set by selecting "Home" then "Set Backround Image".

Den: if you drag the ap from the left column it will fill that information in for you. The drag feature was recently added to Personal Menu and probably to the Launcher at the same time.
