Extended Home screen, Using Leap view | HTC Wildfire specification

17 Getting started

Home screen

Your Home screen is where you make your phone your own. It comes with a weather clock widget that shows the time and weather in your current location. You can also add your favorite applications, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they’re always just a tap away.

To find out how, see the Personalizing chapter.

Extended Home screen

As you start to do more things with your phone, you might find that one Home screen is not enough. No problem. Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right and you’ll discover more space for adding icons, widgets, and more. Press HOME to return to the main Home screen.

There’s a maximum of six extra screens available. It should be plenty.

Using Leap view

To jump straight to the screen you want, pinch the screen to show the Leap view. It reveals all seven Home screens as thumbnails. Just tap the one you want and you’ll leap right there.

On the main Home screen, you can press HOME to show the Leap view.
