Blank Space is a tiny, self-contained web application which serves as a blank space between the application icons on your iPhone's home screen.
That's it. There's nothing more.
Installation
Before you install Blank Space, please have a look at the notes below.
Then, navigate to this web page with the Safari browser on your iPhone.
Open the Blank Space application by clicking on the 'Create a Blank Space now!' link below. When the application is loaded, the text 'powered by 0xc0.de/BlankSpace' appears.
Press the action button in the middle of Safari's toolbar. Select 'Add to Home Screen'. Press the 'Add' button in the right top corner.
Done. A Blank Space has been added to your iPhone's home screen.
Notes
Your iPhone may produce network traffic when you start the Blank Space application from your iPhone's home screen.
In order to move or remove a Blank Space on your iPhone's home screen, just press on any application icon until the icons start to bounce. Now, you can also move or remove a Blank Space icon.
If your iPhone's home screen contains a Blank Space, your iPhone is not broken. So don't call Apple for a repair. You can remove the Blank Space just like any other application.
Blank Space was tested on iPhone OS / iOS from 3.0 up to 4.3. It's not guaranteed to work with future versions of iPhone OS / iOS.
If you use a background image on your iPhone, the Blank Space icon may show up as a gray shadow instead of a blank space.
