An ICE Igloo Core Engine homescreen acts as a landing page for the immersive space and presents the user with commonly used shortcuts such as recent sessions, favourite content and integrated applications. It also provides an opportunity for branding the Igloo with custom graphics and styling preferences.
...
The first step is to add a special Home layer to the layer list in ICEIgloo Core Engine.
...
Press the Add Content button and select New > Home.
...
This will draw the word ‘text’ in the top left corner of the Home layer. Click on the Component tab and change the Text field to say ‘Welcome to ICE’Igloo Core Engine’. Use the X and Y position sliders to move the text into the upper centre of the Home layer.
...
In the top-right corner of the ICE Igloo Core Engine desktop window, click the Canvas UI switch to on.
...
This automatically loads the 2 WebViews session into the layer list and hides the Home layer. To go back to the Home layer, press the Home icon on either the Canvas toolbar (as shown below) or on the desktop UI (next to the Add Content button).
...
We will revisit continue with the Home layer in a later the next tutorial to explore the other component types.
