it doesn't really slow it down if you keep quicklinks to 1 page. this thing is awesome. love my clear screen.

Now all of a sudden my quick links are all back that's weird! I'm loving this. I like how you can change the clock and make it smaller and how you can move things around on the home screen or remove them. This is really neat. I have to finish watching the video.. I still need to know the name of the cab file to get the black bar away around the date and alarm off. I had it before but not sure which cab file it is and if i have to remove the one I have 1st. Thanks for a great program. Lovin my phone even more.. I'll be playing with this all day. LOL!

It said something about 4 animations what is that? I know when you go to change your wallpaper you have an animated option but not sure what it does if you choose one of those besides animate at the beginning when you put it on.

It may be me but I think there may be some issues with the appointments selection of 1-7. It seems some times when I select 7 it doesn't in fact show 7 and then it's random it may show 2 or 4 depending on where I've spaced the appointment area within the home screen or lock screen. It seems the max I can show is 5 on both the lock and home screen regardless if there is space for more. Anyone else noticing same?

See this post to fix this... There is a setting in the editor that overrides the layout setting...

This worked great.

As a side note, it would be nice to be able to pick a different amount of appointments to show for the home screen and then a different number for lock screen. This applies to how I like the layout for my needs.

This is my favorite mod of all time.

Ok I have a couple questions? I didn't know what this did before but what is the custom operator text? And I saw the new bar on my home tab in the beginning and now it's gone the one with the call history email. Did I somehow hide it? I still see the missed call when I have one. But was just wondering about the bar that had email and text and call histroy.. I'll have to play around with settings cause I see there's two different lock screens and I don't know what the other one does so I'll have to try it. I have something called Santods transparent alarm background I think it's called. I uninstalled it and am going to reinstall it. Is that the one to make the black bar go away around the date and alarm off? Cause my balck bar came back with this mod. I'm gonna finish watching the video about it too. Thanks for the great program. Rose

Edit: Ok sorry I unisntalled and reinstalled this cab as I was typing and now my black bar went away and my call history email text tab is back. Maybe it was hidden cause I had email appointments was that it? This new version is really cool!

Santod, I am having the same issue with your no date background mod. I worked fine with 1.61 but I can't seem to get it to work with this newer version. I am enjoying having this great update to Cookie's home tab. Have one question though. Is there a way to use the Editor to hide appointments on the home page but still allow them on the Manila lock screen? Thanks,

Santod, I forgot to mention that I did reposition the date/alarm line. Would that affect the effectiveness of your mod?

Ok I uninstalled the cab and reinstalled and rebooted. My black bar went away I am good now. So do that!

I think I saw on the video where the taskbar can be hidden at the bottom. How do you do that? I need to finish watching the video too I guess. I know you can hide the notifications bar but I don't need it there really since I see the same things at the bottom on the taskbar. But I am wondering what it wouldlook like with the taskbar hidden. I just need to play around with all the new settings and check out the other lock screen.

And what is Operator Text? Sorry for being a pain. I'm gonna finish watching the video here soon cause I also saw where the lock screen can have things on it too now from the home screen. It sounds neat! Thanks, Rose

Look for my Co0kie Trans Alarm Back to remove the bars you guys are all talking about. There is another one I have posted for the calendar as well.
You will want both to remove all the backgrounds for the dropdown notifications and the alarm bar.

To add or remove items, use the right softkey options, there are two, one for editing the homescreen layout, and another for editing the lockscreen layout.
Once in edit mode, tap and hold on an empty space on the screen, then select to add whichever items you want to add, remove, or change.
You can also tap and hold on items already showing, to cycle through each option. Also in edit mode, you can go straight to the add/remove options for the layout you are editimg, by selecting the right softkey again, where in edit mode, it now says advanced.
