19 Getting started Home screen Your Home screen is where you make myTouch 4G Slide your own. You can customize the Home screen by adding widgets, favorite applications, shortcuts, and folders so they're always just a tap away. To find out how, see Personalizing on page 32. Extended Home screen As you start to do more things with myTouch 4G Slide, you might find that one Home screen is not enough. No problem. You can use up to four 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. Press to return to the main Home screen (that is, the center home screen).
