CHAPTER 6: Organize Your Home Screen: Icons and Widgets
145
Contact quick tasks: This widget is useful for your
frequent contacts like friends and relatives. You can add
shortcuts to call, email, text, or even send them a Twitter
or Facebook message.
Date and Time: Unlike the Calendar widget, the Date
and Time widget isn’t about your appointments. This is
strictly a clock for displaying the current date and time.
You can select the color and choose between a digital
and analog time display.
GPS toggle: Like the other toggles, this is a simple
on/off switch. This one controls your DROID GPS.
Messages: This widget displays email messages from
any account you have linked to your DROID. It also
displays SMS/MMS text messages and status updates
from social networking accounts.
News: The News widget displays news items or blog
entries. You can add feeds by URL or subscribe to
preset bundles of news feeds.
Photo slideshow: This is a gallery widget that displays
an interactive slideshow of photos you’ve taken from
your DROID. You can also use it as a quick shortcut to
your DROID’s gallery and camera apps. You can only
have one Photo slideshow widget at a time.
Photo Widget: This widget lets you display a single
photo as if it were an app icon or other shortcut. You can
add as many of these as you wish, but each one takes
space on your Home screen, and each widget can only
display a single photo.
