Edit: That does work, but keep in mind that the only thing that was changed is the action url, everything else will still be displayed as it was before. Just a possible temporary workaround until a new version is released.

thanks hafrust but i just realized i'm going to have to man up and figure out how to create these panels otherwise i will never be happy. Especially since i want to create a panel for opera by itself with my extra pages and then a launcher panel for 2 or 3 programs. i might as well get started.

You can either post any questions you have or pm me if anything comes up.

sorry for the double post you guys, but if i want opera as its own panel can i create that or do i have to install that opera panel? also if i want to create a panel thats not a launcher do i use clinks?

I have no problems adding applications to a new Panel. The problem I'm having is trying to find the right icon for them. I've used a template to add SlingPlayer Mobile. But there is no icon that I can find. Perhaps I'm adding it wrong.

How to Add a Panel Using "CLinks"
This is the quickest, easiest way to make a custom panel because you aren't really creating a new one altogether, rather than just customizing an existing one.
Open CHome Configurator, highlight CLinks, and tap Menu>Panel>Customize.
Using the various templates within CHome Configurator, create all of the pages you want to be available for this panel.
On the main screen in CHome Configurator, highlight CLinks and tap "Show" (left soft key). Exit the program through Menu>Exit to make sure your changes are saved.
In your registry, go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ExtensibilityXML. You will need to add CLinks to the list in the location you want it to be displayed.
Extract the .cpr files that are attached in the .zip file to your \windows folder on your phone. Soft reset.

DID THAT TO SET UP THE CONTACTS, ADDED A NEW PAGES FOR ALL 8 OF EM & SAVED, THEN ACTIVATED CLINKS, CHANGED THE REGISTRY AND COPIED THE FILES, STILL NOTHING FOR MY CONTACTS, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

nvm @ hafrust, got the contacts to work, i had the wrong directions lol

just one last question, how do i capatalize the first letter of each tab? right now the speeddial is the only one that is capitalized and when i go in the extensibilityxml, its already capitalized, how can i fix this?

[Hafrust]

I don't think you can change the other ones very easily, if at all. What is listed in extensibilityxml isn't the text that appears on the today screen. When you go into CHome configurator and tap on CLinks, then menu>panel>customize, you'll see at the top a field titled "Collapsed". Whatever shows in that field will be what is displayed on the today screen. Since all panels can't be edited using chome configurator, you'd have to go and manually edit the collapsed name elsewhere. I just made all of my custom ones lower case to match cause I'm lazy.

I think you might be overcomplicating it a bit. It really is easy, I promise. You can create a new panel to open whatever program you want, so if you don't want to use showaco's cab version you don't have to. I'm not sure what you mean by "not a launcher" because that is essentially what all these panels are. They all launch something. I think where you may be getting confused is how there was a panel titled "launcher" when you used titanium weather v2. All that "launcher" panel you are referring to was, was the CLinks panel. If you've updated to version 3 of titanium weather, it does not utilize the CLinks panel.

I don't recall seeing a slingplayer icon included in that package, so it's something you'd have to create/find and add.
