Home screen in tabs

Hi i configured the layout for tabs where the first tab is a search screen, is it possible to configure a home screen with, for ex, an image and not the first tab screen? thanks

Hi Kaffal, The tabbed menu option is designed to work with menu screens for use on each tab. Using non menu screens on a tab can cause app problems. If you're looking to start you app off by displaying an image I would have a look at the Splash Screen and its options.

I wanted the app to show a home or blank or image screen after the splash screen when you start the app, and only a tab screen when I touch one of the tab buttons below. I guess it's not possible?

Have you tried a menu (list or button) without any list/button items and a background image?

Tabs work best with menu screens. Other screen types when set to load after pressing on a tab will sometimes act in funny ways. You could set this menu as the first tab on your app. This screen will load when the app launches. You will set the name of the tab in the Layout section of your control panel. There you can also specify an icon for the tab if you would like as well as a few other options like sound effects, etc.
