Hi,
This is a really nooby question I know but it's driving me nutz...
Just got my phone today, Incredible S, Froyo 2.2. Somehow I have this huge great silvery-gray metallic looking rectangle thing right across where the time normally displays.
If I tap it I get options for 'desk clock, world clock, alarms, stopwatch and timer'.
Evidently it's some kind of funky time-keeping widget or application, which is nice and everything - but how do I get rid of it?
The lady in the shop showed me how to get rid of an icon, by holding it and then sweeping it down off the screen. That doesn't seem to work with this big rectangular thing?
It doesn't do anything except show all that timer stuff if you tap it. Holding it doesn't do anything and I can't slide it anywhere.

Update!
Found it eventually - looks like it is HTC's usual clock widget but it was running twice. Turned both of them off via Menu, Settings, Applications, Running... then selected 'Force stop'.
Stopping one of them didn't do anything, stopping both put my screen back to normal, with just the one big clock thing, which I can now actually read
This is my first Android phone, coming from Windows Mobile 6.5, which was running with SPB Shell (which is the only way WM 6.5 is usable..)
So far I'm finding Android somewhat clunky - and reminding me of why I ended up buying SPB Shell. I think when I've eventually got it set up how I want it though it should be good. Certainly looks pretty
Can't say I'm keen on how some widgets take up an entire screen though. All I want is short-cut icons, whereas huge widgets seem a waste of a spare screen.
Anyway, thanks for the helpful forum.
