  • How does it works ?

    o Go to this page
    (from an iPhone or iPod Touch)

    o Add the page to bookmarks :
    (to the home screen, without modifying the bookmark title)

  • Which is the page to bookmark ?

    Add the bookmark from the "iEmpty" page (and ONLY this one).
    It will not work with other pages of the site.

  • How to bookmark the page ?

    First, tap the '+' button at the bottom of the mobile Safari browser.

    Then, choose the 'Add to Home Screen' option.

    To conclude, just tap the 'Add' button, without modifying the bookmark title.

    See the "Screenshots" page for screenshots.

  • How to move the empty space ?

    Long tap on an icon on your springboard, like you usually do to move the applications.
    You will see icons "shaking" with a little cross on the top left corner.

    You will also see only the cross with no icon : this is our empty space !

    You can move it or delete it like any other icons !!

  • How to do this again ?

    Each empty space added is in fact a link to the page allowing you to add this empty space !
    So you just need to tap on an existing empty space on your home screen to easily add a new empty space ! (internet connection needed)

  • Troubleshooting

    When trying to bookmark the page, the 'Add' button can be unavailable.

    Cancel the operation and try again.

  • Known limitations

    iEmpty adds a transparent icon on your home screen.
    However, Safari modifies the icon transparency into black...
    Consequently iEmpty will be usefull only if you have a black screen background.

    The utility is limited if you have a jailbroken device or iOS4 and a background image as a wallpaper...

    Moreover, since iOS4, it is not possible anymore to set an empty text for the bookmark title, because in that case the "Add" button remains disabled.
