In my theme, I've set 'Bottom Tool Bar Style' to transparent... but I never see anything across the bottom.... + I never see any options for adding buttons/icons etc to a bottom bar....???

This is where you deiced whether you want to have a tabbed layout (bottom buttons) or a non tabbed layout. But be aware that you need to create the screens FIRST in order to create a Tabbed layout. So you need to create e.g screens like Home About Us Facebook etc... And when you are at the Manage Layout click the Tabbed Layout so it opens. You will get several options like order, name, icon and sound effect to attach to each and every tab. Let me know how it worked out for you Br/Stefan Comments Hi You need to define this in the Application Control Panel-> Manage Layout.

I misinterpreted the Tab layout to mean that the app would have tabbed screens & not be controlled by the button menus I'd set up.... IYKWIM.... I should have tested it, not assumed I knew what it meant!! tanx Comments Thanks Stefan!

Yes me too!!! Spent ages digging around for this. The instructions should just say that a tabbed layout is one that gives you a bottom menu bar and a non tabbed one doesn't! Saying non-tabbed is for simpler sites is meaningless. Comments "I misinterpreted the Tab layout to mean that the app would have tabbed screens & not be controlled by the button menus I'd set up."
