Trouble Shooting
If you are seeing a bar at the top of the screen and the text is not aligning properly to where it should be there could be 1 of 2 problems.
Problem 1:
In your home screen settings you do not have your background set to default. If you set this to anything else it will change how the wallpaper sits behind the plugins and screw up the alignment. To fix this set the background image to default.
Problem 2 Solution:
In your home screen settings you do not have your color scheme set to default or to a color scheme that does not have a background image as part as the scheme (note the color schemes that come standard with the phones all have wallpapers associated with them. If you choose one of these it will change the background). To fix this set the color scheme to default or if you wish to change the color scheme go to my color schemes page located here and download either my Black Soft Keys color scheme or one of my other softkey color sets.
