What I want to know is, on the 7100g or 7100t is the a maximum number of icons you can hide? I have 4 internet email accounts, and seems I can only hide three. Now, from time to time, I can change to 'another' theme and hide more icons, but...

Im using my own created themes, but I put back BB Insight Icon, which comes standard ont he 7100i, and started hiding them. Got halfway through and decided if I didnt stop it would take me all day to unhide them!

Its a beautiful thing !!

My only problem is I forget which software I have installed, b/c I hide them and forget about em'....

Must mean I do not need it ! LOL

**cp6169**

I have so much software on mine Im just like bellidansa, I forget about most of them until I unhide apps and realize what I actually have. I guess its the fact of knowing I can do everything, but not actually needing to.
