Sorry to tell you that you can't change that. But if you could what would you want to see? The today one shows you stuff going on "today" like emails, calls , appts...what would you expect to see for Addr Book?

I use that theme and have my convenience key set to addr book so I can get there quickly if needed.

That's not entirely true. You *could* create a new theme using the Plazmic ThemeBuilder 4.2.2 based on the Dimension Today theme and change the homescreen applications that way...seems like a lot of work, but it is doable.

IMO, the best theme for limiting your options on the home screen while being able to select which options are displayed on the home screen, is the Blue Silk theme that is mentioned on other posts here. It is the same as the Zen themes as far as icon setup if you don't want to install a new theme.

Basically, these themes place 5-6 icons on your home screen, taken from the first icons listed on your applications screen. This obviously wouldn't help you if you need to be able to see your calendar and such on your home screen, but you could always program your convenience key to the calendar in that event.
