Additional Ideas for Customizing Your
Home Screen
You’ll spend most of your time looking at your Home screen, so you might as well
customize it so you’ll enjoy looking at it. Group together your most commonly
used apps on the Home screen, and set your favorite image as your wallpaper.
Chapter 11 shows you how to find, buy, and install new apps. Chapter 13 explains
how to add your favorite websites to your Home screen.
Since you can choose your own wallpaper images, you can put pictures
of animals, landscapes, artwork, or people on your iPad. If you’re comfortable
with creating graphic images and transferring them to your iPad, turn your daily
or weekly to-do list into a graphic image and then make it your wallpaper. Every
timeyou turn on your iPad, you’ll see your tasks and goals.
For your Lock Screen image, consider putting a notice listing your name and
contact information. That way if you lose your iPad and someone turns it on, they’ll
see your name and (hopefully) will contact you to return the iPad. By putting your
own images on your iPad, you can truly customize its appearance so nobody will
ever mistake your iPad for their own.
