Skinning

hi guys,
i have just started to look at skinning for xbmc and have a couple of questions.

i take it that each page that is skinable has an page id ie home is id0 and system info is id7 etc and each page has access to a select number of things..?
for example if i wanted hard disk space i could only get this from the systeminfo page?
and how does it know where to put the space label because it seems that this xml is only to put the word drive on the screen?
<control>
<description>drive c text label</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>10</id>
<posx>95</posx>
<posy>335</posy>
<label>155</label>
<font>font12</font>
<textcolor>70ffffff</textcolor>
</control>

the real question is can i put free disk space on the home page?

cheers

thanks

is it correct that this xml is just to display the text that is in the strings.xml and xbmc just knows where to place the free disk space or cpu temp etc because of the label id i've used?
<control>
<description>drive c text label</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>10</id>
<posx>95</posx>
<posy>335</posy>
<label>155</label>
<font>font12</font>
<textcolor>70ffffff</textcolor>
</control>

cheers

probably. i haven't looked at the code, but i suspect that's how it does it.
