Just discovered how to Show / Hide Home Screen....

Now then, just discovered something small by accident. Showing / Hiding Home Screen contents. If you know how to do this already, then please ignore�.

Sometimes, when I press on the �messaging� icon or the �video� shortcuts on my home screen, instead of the application starting, the home screen just goes into �Hide� content mode, and then I have to go back, press Options , then select �Show� content.

So, as any true �scientist�, I set about trying to repeat the outcome, but this time deliberately, rather than just by accident. A simple swipe across the screen ( as I�m right handed, it seems to work better left to right, but it also works right to left ) will toggle between Show contents and Hide contents.

Neat little touch I thought. Literally.
