Default Ring SVG file

I want to change the ring.svg that comes with Plazmic so the icons point to different apps rather than the ones that are defaulted.
Can anybody help me on this issue ?.
Thanks

I tried those steps before but now I am missing the icons ring layout. All the icons are on the top of each other on the main screen. Do I need to change anything else in the svg file besides changing "slot0" to name of app I wan to use. How can I fix that problem ?. Thank you for your help.

They will display that way in Theme Builder, but should work properly in the simulator and on the device.

Do you know enough about the SVG code to edit it, create a hidden dock, etc?

This will not work at all. You can not open a svg in composer and expect to fix it and it coming out properly.

What are you putting the SVG into? Which device? If I remember correctly they are centered when the theme loads but then get (un)centered when you scroll over one of the icons. I would advice you to redownload theme builder to get a new ring file.

I think she was referring to putting her SVG's. She has a ring SVG.

Well if you ask me if I know how to edit SVG file, the answer is yes. I do watch several tutorial videos from Matt Ginsberg.net. He has tons of good stuff in there and I learn so much from his tutorials. I recommend if anybody wants to learn how to create a hidden or sliding dock, try to watch his tutorial.
Responding to your second question, I was just using a basic ring svg file with came with blackberry theme studio version 5.0. I did even try to use the version 4.6 or even higher 6.0 for torch. They all came out the same. If I don't make any changes, it came out ok but once I change "slot0" then, all the icons are centered and even though I scroll over each icons, still the same. It does not form a ring shape at all. I did try on those 3 versions of blackberry theme studio. Is it possible all my blackberry theme studio from version 4.6 to 6.0 are all bad ?. hmmm.....very confusing
Well I do see she has a ring svg available on her website but I want to learn how to create one for personal use only.
Thanks for all your advice

I am with the OP, I want to have different apps like a Weblink and separate SMS and MMS Icons that I have set-up. I can get to open and move properly on my simulator but with no inspector available and I am just beginning with theme creation.

why not create a new svg using composer, all the icon co-ordinates can be found in the ring svg, then add the movement coding from the ring svg

Is there any other way than creating a new SVG file ?. It is too complicated for me and I don't know it might work at all.
Anybody knows how to modify the existing one without losing the Ring shape at all.
Thank you guys
