Changing the settings of a widget

You can modify basic settings of some widgets (for example, the Contacts and Mail widgets) from the Home screen.

1.Press and hold a widget on the Home screen. HTC Amaze 4G vibrates and you’ll see a colored box around the widget. Don’t lift your finger just yet.

2.Drag the widget to the Edit button (if it’s enabled).

The relevant screen where you can change some settings for this widget then opens.

3.Customize the widget settings.
