yes just what i was talking about! maybe making them a bit smaller or making it a 5x5 or 5x4 if its even possible, great work man! keep it up

edit: also maybe working on wrapping the words would be awesome aswell! thnx!

Here is the 4 per row small icon style startpage patch. Note in landscape it is 5 per row but to accommodate the URL bar for the previously mentioned multi patch only 3 rows and the upper portion of a 4th are visible. I couldn't think up a way to make landscape view contain as many or more icons as portrait and still accommodate for the URL bar. Like the other patch it also allow up to 120 bookmarks to be loaded up on the startpage. Attached are screenshots of what this looks like in both portrait and landscape and a zip containing the screenshots, patch file and overlay image. Like with the listview style patch the image has to be replaced so the icons appear right and glow correctly when tapped. For those who don't use the multi patch it is just one line that has to be changed to remove the padding at the top of landscape view (this applies to both listview and small icon styles):

#have-bookmarks.landscape {
	padding-top: 54px;
}

That to this

#have-bookmarks.landscape {
	padding-top: 0px;
}

This patch seems to work well with the 1.3.1 update, I do have one question about the overlay file. Instead of copy the new overlay, could you make the icon a little larger to fit the current overlay. seems that you could still get the 4x4 rows but with one less step in copying the overlay.

Just and idea....

Make sure you backup the original so if you decide to go back to the original or restore to original for an update later you have the original.

Unfortunately the overlay is custom image to match the dimensions of the icon so if you don't replace the file you will get a weird looking result from the original overlay. Go ahead and apply the patch without replacing the overlay file you will see what I'm talking about. The overlay is what gives the icon the rounded corners and darker border look and the white border look when tapping on the item.

Have you applied any other patches related to the start page? The only thing I changed in the JS file is the line that sets the number of bookmarks shown on the start page. I set it to 120 max instead of the default 12. If the file was already modified by another patch to change that line that would explain why it failed to modify the JS but made the changed to the CSS for the visual aspect of the patch.

i get this error. no other patches applied to start page.

The only line I changed in the JS was to show 120 icons on the start page instead of the default 12. I'm assuming that some other patch you applied has changed that line and so it can't change it when applying this patch.

thanks stone ryno. So do I edit the file (indicated in the error i presume) and search for a 12 or 120? How do I correct this?

OMG that 4x4 patch looks amazing. Will this be added to Quickinstall or Preware?

Do you see more than 12 bookmarks on the start page? if so I wouldn't concern yourself with manually changing the js file. However if you wish to change it look for the line that looks something like maxShowCount = 12. I think it was near the top of the file.

I completely forgot about looking into this. Because it requires the overlay image to be replaced for it to look right I wasn't sure if it was as easy as the other patches since other patches are just a .patch file. I'll try and find out how to get it added.

At this point, my wife sees the original-sized icons (large), 5 or 6 of them, and small squares within them since I copied the overlay file that came with the patch.

How to proceed? Besides EPR and starting over?
