Menu With Image feature suggestions

First please open this .jpg to see what i'm talking about: http://goo.gl/mMsncy 1. Have the ability to add an empty transparent empty spacer in pixels over and under the logo. 2. Have the ability to add free (size wise) images between the menu like the spacer in the above picture. 3. instead of allowing only for an icon of 100x100 why not allowing also the full with of the app so to have more control over the look of the app it could be done 1536x100 or 150, better it would be let the user decide. This would solve many problems, like fonts used, making an image as the button i can use whatever i want, and more important is the ability to center everything (just looks better) actually just now writing this i realized that if you only do the number 3, this would also solve the 1 and 2. this would give total control of the look of the app to the user making the app. Not limited to 1 picture per line but at least 2, better 3 so to be able to do something like this: http://goo.gl/g8LQ19 also made with appinventor and this app in particular actually changes picture once touched and changes screen once released. Also A nice feature.

You can do it with the Cubbyholes plugin. Read all about it here and look at the screenshots for examples: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=226B52DB325F5CEE247D0DC -- Niraj

to: Niraj Shah, Yes with your plugin it looks like i can do what I need, but do you have any plans for making it for android also? To: LeonG Yes I guess it could be done with the HTML Pro plug in, but 2 problems: 1. I don't really know HTML, but that is my problem, but how would you connect a screen from the HTML code? 2. If the app is mostly HTML wouldn't it be more likely to be rejected from Apple?

That is what the HTMLPro Plugin is all about, connecting screens with hyperlinks. I would suggest you use an editor like JCE to build your menu (simple table with images) and paste the source code in the normal custom HTML plugin. With the HTMLPro plugin you then connect the images with your screens! Apple will not reject your app because of this.

to LeonG, you advised me to use the JCE editor, is it the joomla extention you are talikng about? if not please specify. i know now this is not your plugin, but if you have used it before, can you advise me on what resolution i should work with? for example for android i used to put everything i need inside a 800x1367 frame, is it something i should do for ios also, i have no idea.
