I'm not as concerned with what that icon looks like or what it says, but I'm having a hard time getting it to go back to the home page. I can certainly link it to that page and it will open, but then the top left button is back instead of refresh since I've just gone to another page and not back to the beginning. So... is there a way to make the right nav button not just go to the home screen but reset itself so its truly at the beginning (ie with refresh icon at top left)? Secondly, I am using a home screen with nine different background images which I love,,, similar to the home screen of the facebook app. The different images are all evenly spaced. However, if I put my phone in landscape mode the spacing between the images remains the same as in portrait so that they are all on the left part of the screen. Is there a way to set it up so regardless of the orientation they will be spread evenly throughout the screen? Thanks as always josh Title Comments First, I know others have already asked similar questions about having a home button on the right side of the navigation bar.

Sounds like you found a bug in the button layout, they should remain evenly spaced on rotation but they do not (just verified)... bummer, more for me to fix! lol. I'll get it looked at. Your first question is a tough one. The Right-Side nav button does indeed load the next screen which would then need the left-back button (like you described). I'll get a look at the source and the control panel and see if we can implement a choice in the control panel drop-down list to 'go home' or something. Sounds doable. Stay tuned. Comments Hi Josh...

Kindly re-download your projects source. a) The Right Side Nav Button choice now has a Home option that will return the app to the home screen. If you're using a tab-layout, it will return to Home for that tab. b) The button layout on rotation changes has been fixed - yippee. I'm surprised I didn't hear more about this ;-) Comments @Josh: Both of these questions / comments / features have been updated on the download server.
