Tim, Wow -- this was amazingly helpful; thank you very much. Did you find these tricks with the iPhone out by playing with the phone? I don't recall any detailed instructions about moving items around with VoiceOver on the phone, only when using VO with the Mac are deliberate VO commands usually provided, or so it seems.
Thanks again. That is, by the way, what I thought about the Clock app. Harry On dic 10, 2012, at 9:11 p.m., Tim Kilburn <kilbur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Harry, > > Placing the Compass and Clock on the Home screen is entirely possible but > separating the Timer and such out of the Clock is not.
