Bottom Bar
How to edit the 5 icons in the 'bendy' swipe bar at the bottom of the Pre.
Detail:
- At the bottom of the Palm Pre, under ANY application you can slide your finger up from the bottom and access 4 or 5 quick links. The factory defaults are Phone, Contacts, Calendar, and Launcher. The menu bar is also shown on the empty screen, and when minimizing any application using the single center button.
- Comes configurable as shipped
- Does NOT require root access
Add / Remove

Remove From Bar
- Tap but hold your finger down, dont' release, on any icon on the bottom bar.
- Don't release 1-2 seconds until you see the HALO, the icon shows some yellow rings around it.
- Slide the icon up ONTO the launcher application window.
