Home screen Getting started 29 Your Home screen is where you make HTC Rhyme your own. It comes with a Quick Launch widget that contains shortcuts to your favorite apps and shows the time and weather in your city. You can also add your favorite applications, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they're always just a tap away. To find out how, see Personalizing on page 50. Extended Home screen As you start to do more things with HTC Rhyme, you might find that one Home screen is not enough. No problem. You can use up to six extra screens. It should be plenty. Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right and you'll discover more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.
