[Q] Modding home screen in stock 3.2 rom? - Acer Iconia A500

I've got an A500 running the stock 3.2 rom, and I was wondering how you change what web pages show up in the web page preview "widget" in the upper right corner of the screen. I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean.
The "widget" shows previews of the Acer, Google, Picassa, and Yahoo! web pages, but what if I wanted to see eBay, Google, Flickr, and MSN? Is there a file somewhere in the stock rom that has what pages are displayed?
Any help would be appreciated!

Bookmark Icon HELP

how do i enable bookmark website icons, as u can see im stuck with the stock bookmark icons and after seeing the CHT screenshots, one of them was a bookmark link with a picture of the xda website as the icon. i would like to do this for all my bookmarks anyone know how to do it? ive been looking for a good hour all over xda for an answer im running the April 13 energy 21898 CHT
Try going into pIE and opening each of the bookmarked pages from your bookmarks within Internet Explorer. Then your bookmarks on your hometab should show up as pics of the webpages. Make sure you let the pages load fully, and if one or two of them dont show up the first time, its probly cause of ads or something flashing, so go into Internet Explorer's settings and turn off "show pictures" and then try again.
thx so much. this was the answer to my problem.
THANK YOU,
i've been wondering that to, and your trick works!!!!!!!!!!

[patch request] youtube searchable from homescreen

when i press search from the home screen i want to be able to search youtube right away not go to dolphin>m.youtube>youtube but go straight to app. Am i doing something wrong or is this feature not available?
Youtube widget maybe? Direct searching from homescreen.

3.2 improvements not listed in the changelog

I'll start:
When you drop a bookmark for a website onto the desktop it has a bookmark icon with the site's icon smaller in the bookmark icon.
Previously, every time you tapped the bookmark icon on the desktop it'd open a new tab with that link. Now, it only opens a new tab if that link isn't already open in a tab.
I find that makes the Facebook website and other websites a lot friendlier.

[Q] Is there any way to change Chrome's image search so that it resembles Google Now?

You know when you do a google now search and you say, "show me a picture of..." or tap "images" on the bottom when you search for something, you click on the image, and it fills up the whole screen without the top and bottom bars that the Chrome browser for the N7 has right?, For some reason, when going google images searches in chrome, it shrinks the images. Is there any way to make the images in the chrome browser fill up the screen from the preview page (the one with a black background and you can scroll from right to left from the pictures)? I don't like how tthe images shrink! Why would they do that?
