i noticed this too! which is a good thing, considering i never rebooted anyways

I think the first issue is editable in the Titanium_YxY.cpr files.

As to the CHome Configurator, I don't know that the lack of a reboot is good thing. I wonder if something was broken with the v3 update.

To edit the *.cpr files, check out XML Notepad 2007 from microsoft-

It shows the structure of the file much better and makes it a lot easier to see whats been done/needs to be done. Also it makes editing them a lot easier, i've been using it for all mine for a few days now; works great.

ok so last night I went through and followed the instructions for adding a people tab and how to add contacts. It worked perfectly and the tab is there with all the contacts I added.

However....it somehow affected the Launcher tab as well. The tab itself is still there, along with all the apps I added to it...however, theres no name showing now..ie - "Launcher"....so its just a blank space until you scroll to it. I have tried going back in and customizing clinks, and also checking the registry entries to make sure it shows in there, in the order it should be in.

I am at a loss....anyone have any advice?

For any panel that you create you will need to add the title to the extensibility XML, you can add more than one tab by changing the name of the panel and changing the function of the panel. You cant however repeat the GUID string or you will end up with invisible panels. I see shawaco has chimed in with a pretty intense solution that my mind isnt comprehending yet. I'd imagine there are ever better things to come soon!

I think Hafrust said everything he has is a 60x60 png file. I havent had time to play with it yet.

I think you've got 2 problems, you are using the same GUID twice which can be corrected by copying a GUID from another panel that you are not using. It also sounds like you didnt edit the extensibility XML file to show your name.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! I just installed and got my panels all back on.
