Home screen
Note:
Your home screen might look a little different.
You can flick the home screen left and right to see
more panels, seven in all. You’ll have plenty of room for
adding shortcuts, widgets, and more.
Widgets
A
widget
is small app on the home screen that
typically displays information such as weather, news,
and social networking updates. You can add a widget,
such as a clock, music player, or a calendar that shows
upcoming appointments. To open a widget, touch it.
To add a widget, touch an empty spot on the home
screen. (You can also touch Menu
>
Add
>
Motorola widgets
or
Android widgets
) If your home
screen is full, you won’t see the add option. You’ll need
to move or delete widgets or shortcuts to make room.
You can change the size of some widget’s. Just touch
and hold the widget. When the widget’s outline turns
white, drag one of the corners to make it the size you
want.
Note:
If you install apps from Android Market that
have widgets, touch and hold the home screen, then
select a widget to add to the home screen.
