How does buzztouch know which screen a button links to? Is it in the BT_config.txt? Also, how would I go about adding a screen that wasn't a plugin?

It keeps track by those 'itemId' numbers you see in the config file. Notice one of your menu items will say 'loadScreenObject' and have an itemId attached to it; if you look around the rest of the config file, you'll find the matching screen in there somewhere... Basically it works like this: If you have a splash screen, it will show on startup. After which it will default to the 'Home' screen, which is usually the first screen listed. If you have a tabbed layout, your home screen will be the first tab. There are ways around this, but by default that's how it is.
