Customising the Home screen
The Home screen can be extended to the right. To scroll through
the Home screen and Extended screens swipe right or left. You can
customise these screens with images, shortcuts, apps and widgets.
To change the wallpaper or add a widget, press and hold on one
of the screens until a pop-up window appears containing these
options:
· Wallpapers: select the image you want to use as a background for
the Home Screen and Extended Screens then tap Set wallpaper
to confirm. If the selected image is too large it will need to be
cropped.
· Widgets: select the widgets you want to have on the Home Screen.
They are distributed vertically and in alphabetical order to make them
easier to find. Widgets belonging to the same app are positioned
horizontally for more clarity. Long-pressing the sidebar displays
the first letter of the applications, facilitating their identification.
· Settings: Two options for customising the Home screen are found here.
· Display Google application: This function is enabled by default. Swipe the screen
rightward to access Google Now, which lets you view cards and perform searches.
This will have to be set beforehand by going to Settings > Google > Search > Your feed
and ticking the box.
· Allow home screen rotation: by default, the desktop is configured to be used
vertically. Enable this option to use it horizontally. In this way you can rotate both
the home screen and the apps drawer.
