How HomeMarks Works
Dragging & Sorting
Bookmarks are organized within boxes that are themselves stacked within horizontal columns. Each one of these objects can be dragged by their handles and sorted to fit your organizational needs.
Adding Boxes & Columns
Create new boxes by clicking [+] button above each column.
New boxes appear at the top of each column. Add new columns by clicking
the [+] button in the top toolbar. New columns appear on
the left side of your screen.
Editing Boxes & Bookmarks
Clicking or tapping a box's header will open its popover. From here
you can customize the box's color from 18 predefined swatches. The box
popover also allows you to:
- Rename the box's title.
- Edit its bookmark's name or location.
- Collapse the box to save space.
- Delete the box along with all its bookmarks.
Deleting Bookmarks & Columns
Individual bookmarks can be dragged to the trashcan where it will stay until
you empty the trash. Click the [-] on the left hand side of each
column's header to delete the column along with its boxes and bookmarks.
Pick A Theme That Works For You
HomeMarks sports two themes. The default is our new and modern flat white.
This theme is perfect for those that love Apple's iOS 7 look and feel. We also
have a classic beveled black theme that legacy HomeMarks users and contrast
junkies will be sure to love. Switch between them by selecting the [Settings]
option within the user dropdown toolbar item. Then select either the light
or dark option.
Let Your Fingers Do The Work
The following keyboard shortcuts can help you navigate your HomeMarks start page more quickly.
i- Toggle inbox panel.t- Toggle trashcan panel.`- Toggle inbox/trashcan panel. Whichever was last viewed.e- Empty the trash.r- Refresh the page.
Browser Compatibility
HomeMarks requires a modern browser. I make no guarantee that it works on anything other than Chrome or Safari. That said, Firfox should work - but it performs horribly and may feel sluggish. If you have any problems on the latest Chrome, Safari, or Internet Explorer, let us know on Get Satisfaction and we will try to help.
Make HomeMark Links Open A New Browser Tab
You can make all HomeMarks link open a new browser tab. To do this,
turn on Tab Links by selecting the [Settings] option within
the user dropdown toolbar item and then turning on Tab Links. Not all
browsers support tabs. Those that do not will open a new window when
Tab Links is enabled.
