- i got flamed for asking earlier.......
my hobby is making wallpapers and i want to be able to see them.
i was told you can't hide the icons, then i saw these screenshots.
am i missing something?
maybe the icons don't show up unless you hit the Home button or something?
EDIT: oops. that's a Passport.
but still....08-31-15 04:00 AMLike 0 - Which OS have you got? On my Q10 I still have 10.2. and it is not possible there.
It's possible from 10.3.1 and above: it's in the screen settings: toggle show wallpaper when all frames are closed (show home page, indeed)

That page is where the active frames would be, so without any open, it'll just be blank. Then app icons will be on the pages following.
If you're talking about being able to rearrange icons so they are (for example) only on the right side of the screen or only on the bottom of the screen, you'll need an app. Basically this app will make fake blank icons. You arrange these to take up the spaces you want to show the bg and then arrange the normal icons around them.

Apps icon page, pay attention to the small home and dots icon with number right above the search icon at the bottom to know which screen you are at

Posted via CB1008-31-15 06:01 PMLike 0 - Right. With OS 10.3.1 on Classic, first page - home page - is blank home screen with date. Second page to the right is screen with icons of apps. If you have many apps then you continue to have third, forth page with icons to the right and so on.

so i'll be able to see my whole wallpaper then just swipe right (or is there a way with the keyboard? i ask cuz i'm handicapped - only 1 hand) to access apps.08-31-15 06:23 PMLike 0 -
Home screen will always display your wallpaper when no app is running as I mentioned earlier.
Some other folks here mention about the invisible icons - only available by using an app - which can be used to arrange your apps screens just like screenshot from blambtn.
Hope it clears your confusion.

Hub -> Homescreen (where minimized apps will show as active frames or just the date and time if no apps are minimized) -> Apps

Also, quick tip if you're using only one hand due to your disability, normally on BB10 apps, the menu for settings, help, about, etc. are accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen. Sometimes that can be annoying to do with one hand. With the Classic, holding the BB key (the one left of the trackpad with the BB logo) will bring that menu down. Pressing it normally will bring up the menu on the side. This way you never have to reach up to get that top menu, just hold the BB button, then use the trackpad to select the option you need.

If you really wanna have blank screen for full wallpaper then you can consider to use a free app to add invisible icons to your first app screen, similarly to blambtn's screen shot. But you can do even further to add full of invisible icons into one app screen so there is no icon taking up space.

There is no way to make it transparent or display nothing, which also would kinda eliminate the purpose of the Hub.
As for your other questions, the answers are pretty simple:
The actual "Homescreen", which shows the Active Frames and is always accessed if you swipe up or hit the End Call key, can be configured to show a blank screen when no Active Frames are running.
The following pages on the right side, those that display the app icons, will by default always go from left to right and can't really be left blank at all.
However as already mentioned in this thread there are apps which can place invisible icons as placeholders so you can basically create blank pages or just place very few icons on the very bottom for example.
Posted via CB1009-14-15 05:01 AMLike 0 - Slagman, you're the best. This and the tip to swipe left or right (in the direction that the "more" option shows to access the rest of the overflow menu) on the trackpad make me so happy. The Classic is awesome. There is a little bit more of a learning curve but the trackpad and toolbelt functions were very well thought out. I'm very happy I came around to the Classic!
