2.1 The Desktop
The main area of interest will be the desktop itself. Here you will place
shortcuts to Apps or widgets – a visual application that can display real-
time information. There may be some pre-installed icons and widgets on
your tablet.
To change the desktop background image of your tablet return to your
desktop by pressing the ‘HOME’
icon. Press and hold an open space on
the desktop (don’t press an icon) - until a popup appears named ‘
Select
wallpaper from
’. In the list may appear multiple options to select an image
or animated image of choice. The option ‘
Live Wallpapers
’ will show the
pre-installed animated desktop images. Other options such as a ‘
Super-HD
Player
’, ‘
Gallery
’ or ‘
Wallpapers
’ allow you to select (widescreen) photos,
downloaded images or other images; depending on the features of that
specific application.
To place a widget or app shortcut on the desktop, touch and hold the icon
until the App drawer fades and the desktop appears. Move your finger to
the location where you want to place the icon and release your touch to
place the icon.
