On the home screen of Blue3wide, there are the silly-looking cartoon characters to the left, which are PNG files of 460x460. I changed the file and increased the size, but it seems restricted by a setting in an XML file (yes, I deleted cache).

Does anyone know which file has these parameters?

Does anyone know a source that explains what the parameters do in detail in a "myHome.xml" file? I have figured many out but others elude me as to exactly what they do.

    I don't know a source that explains it, but those graphics are called 'hover' graphics. They are defined in myHome.xml (and myHomePlugIns.xml) in the Menu control by: <hoverWidth>290</hoverWidth> and <hoverHeight>305</hoverHeight> and of course the positions are set by: <hoverX>40</hoverX> and <hoverY>180</hoverY>

    Hope that helps!

    I recall seeing those height/width parameters but didn't think they were the ones because they don't match the graphic's actual size. I guess they could be limiting it for different resolutions maybe.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try.
