Zooming in iPhone Webclips
The ability to make Webclips (or url links on the iPhone springboard) is yet another one of the nice features of the iPhone. However, the lack of control over the icon, and the positioning of the web page upon re-launch of the page has always frustrated me. Back in August, I explained how to make custom icons for your Webclips with a Jailbreak iPhone, and how to zoom in on a image to make better icons for non-jailbreak users. The only thing I really didn’t like about the zoom option, was that whenever you re-launched the site, the webclip was zoomed into the image location. As it turns out, this is controlled in the plist file for the webclip. Jailbreak users can simply open up the plist file, with the Property List Editor, and change the scale back to 1, and the position back to 0,0. This will scale the page back to its normal size, and re-position the page back to the top left corner. It’s amazing what you can discover with the plist editor, and 10 minutes to waste on a Saturday afternoon.
