Crazy pop-up on my homescreen

The darndest thing just happened, and I'd love some insight on it if any of you have some...

I have a Micro charging plug I use at work that I ran over with my chair, and needs some finesse to connect to charge. Well, I was "finessing" it, and this pop-up appeared ON TOP OF my homescreen. It had the regular HTC-looking clock on the upper right, displayed my twitter feed just below that, and was scrolling a slideshow of photos that aren't any that I took (a dog, a landscape shot, etc) or located anywhere on the phone that I can tell. It also had two white buttons on the lower corners - one of which was an "x" that closed it.

Funny thing is... I liked it, and can't seem to locate it or duplicate it in any manner. Like I said, it was a nearly fullscreen window that opened on top of my homescreens.

This is obviously a HTC thing, probably somewhere in SenseUI, and I liked it. This wasn't an error, or a fart, or anything of the sort.

Any Ideas?
 
Sounds like the dock home screen. Open the clock app and it should be in there. I'm currently running an AOSP ROM so can't tell your where it's at exactly.

Looks like you inadvertently went into 'Dock Mode'. There's not a direct link, but if you use the search button and type in Dock Mode, the app will pop up. You can do some configuration with it and it'll display in either portrait or landscape mode.

Hope this helps.
 
That's exactly what it was... Thank You. I downloaded "dock mode" from the market, and can now put my Bolt in dock mode on demand.
