| How do I reconfigure my app/plugin button layout for my home screens? |
There are two ways to do this.
The easy quick way is to simply hold down the button area for a few seconds until the list of possible Actions appear. To reassign the button with a new app or plugin, select it from the list and hit OK button. If you want this button to be empty, just choose the NONE option from the top.
The other way to adjust button actions is to go to Advanced Settings / Button Layout. Here you can edit all 6 buttons for each screen by going down the list. (NOTE: THe firest 6 named "GLOBAL" are not the first page, but for the sometimes optional Global shortcut list, such as found in the Onyx skin). |
