You could setup two menu screens with menu items that lead back and forth? Or, a 'next' button in top right leading to other menu. Comments Not sure what you're asking. Two home screens without tabs?

Zeeyad Lost but trying Posts: 12 Reg: Apr 05, 2011 USA 120	04/08/11 02:55 AM (14 years ago) mutzy, I had a similar request couple of days ago that I posted in this forum! Too bad that buzztouch doesn't support such design!!! I wish they integrate it into V1.5 I would definitely prefer to have 1 homescreen with 4 small buttons at the bottom that would switch from 1 page to another. And with the last page would have multiple tabs for all the social network. Comments mutzy, I had a similar request couple of days ago that I posted in this forum!

Facebook's layout, in buzztouch terms, is a button menu and each screen loads with a 'grow' transition. When you tap a button on the facebook page the next screen does not 'slide in' it 'grows' from the center. When adding buttons to you button menu, click the buttons name to set it's animation to 'grow'. The effect will what your describing. Button menu's scroll to accomodate lots of buttons. So... the only missing part that I can think of is the swipe to move to another screen of buttons. We'll see if we can get this implemented. Comments Ah... I see. You can replicate this 'almost'.

I already have a button menu from which each screen grows which I believe you recommended. I'd rather not have scrolling on for my home screen so ideally I'd like to be able to swipe to a second home screen if possible. Thanks!!

This is getting better by the day. Thanks all.
