In my case, I only need 4 Small and Tiny icon-tabs at the bottom of the screen. Most of the apps that we see published have similar design. The users can easily navigate through the tabs and enjoy looking at the Wallpaper on the homescreen. Is there any way to change the design of the Tabs?!!

This isn't something we've heard before and totally agree that 70% of the screen being covered by a tabbed layout (for the tabs) makes no sense. Comments For sure something wrong here. What device?

The design is good and there is nothing wrong with my screen. I was able to simulate everything smoothly. My ask is to be able to implement a different homescreen layout. For example, it would be great if buzztouch can allow me to choose between 2 different homescreen layouts. More details: I would like to have only small fixed picture buttons at the bottom of the screen. First one for HOME, second one for COUPONS, third for SOCIAL NETWORK, and fourth for CONTACT US. Such design can allow me benefit from the surface of the homescreen! In that way, I can upload a larger homescreen image and I believe this would polish user experience when he/she launches the app for the first time. Adding more details, when navigating to the other pages, the buttons at the bottom of the screen will not disappear (they will always appear in the foreground). Only the content will change after smooth CROSSFADE transition! I hope I was able to clearly communicate my idea and the design that I am trying to achieve with buzztouch.

You can have tabs on all the time, or you can use a Menu- Buttons page for your front page, but they will disappear as you navigate to other screens.
