The Home screen displays icons that represent all the apps available on your iPad. Since you’ll be staring at the Home screen all the time, you may want to customize its appearance by rearranging icons on the screen, moving them off (or on) to additional panes, or just deleting certain apps altogether.

In addition, the Home screen lets you choose a background image as your wallpaper. You can choose one of the photographs that Apple provides or use any of your own pictures that you’ve loaded on your iPad. You can put a picture of your kids making silly faces on your iPad or use a picture of your dog or cat. The choice is yours.

In this chapter you’ll learn how to customize the Home screen of your iPad.
