Set up the Home screen

The Home screen is your starting place for most tasks. You can gain access to all features and programs from the Home screen.

The top of the Home screen displays icons for the programs that you have most recently used. The center of the Home screen can display your next appointment, the number of new messages (voice mail, text, e-mail or MMS) that you have received and other important information. When you click an icon or item on the Home Screen, the associated program opens.

To customize the Home screen

1.On the Home screen, click Start > Settings > Home Screen.

2.In Home screen layout, Color scheme, Background image and Time out, select the options you want and click Done.

Tip You have three ways to set up the background image:

•Use ActiveSync to copy your favorite picture file to the directory in your phone: My Device\Application Data\Home. Then, you can select the picture as the background image through Start > Settings > Home Screen > Background image.

•Capture a photo using the phone’s camera. When viewing the photo in the Review screen, click Menu > Use as Home Screen and then follow the on- screen instructions to set the captured photo as the background image.

•Use the Pictures & Videos program to set up the background image. See “To set a picture as the Home screen background” in Chapter 7 for details.
