Have just created tabbed layout app with five tabs and 'home' screens for each. Two are simple html based screens, three are advanced menus. Works ok except when I select from menu options and go to child screens, there is no tabs. Also if I link back to a home screen from another page, the tabs do not appear. 1. Is this how it is suppose to work? do the tabs only appear on the nominated home screens? 2. If so, how can I make the tabs appear on all screens? ;) Paul

Hi bigPaul, Link you tabbed layout to your non tabbed screens. Make sense? LA

LA, do you mean I have to modify some code in eclipse? I assumed that by setting the homescreen links in the Layout section of the Control Panel that this merely identifies which screen to load if the tab is tapped and that the tabs would be 'global' and appear on each screen of app except native calls such as dialler. Obviously this is not so and cannot find anywhere else throughout screens etc in Control Panel to change. I have had a look through some of the java files: BT_activity_root_tabs, BT_act_controller, BT_activity_base, BT_application, BT_item etc and tried to make sense of it but as I am much more at home with html and php than java and xml I am a bit lost!
