Just installed the SDK kit to take screenshots (if anyone has problems running that on a x64 system change the compatibilty mode of the .bat file to vista sp2 and it will launch)
meanwhile, on with the picture, it's a mess at the moment as I had to do a factory reset last night because of the HTC email bug taking up half of the phones space.
That non-root, SDK method isn't too bad. Here are my shots. I've destroyed any info on contacts, and on my diary, and my IP but I think the majority of those widgets are familiar enough that people will know what is underneath them in general. The little widget with the radio signal just shows info on current network and IP.
Oh - and the thumbs on the bookmarks don't seem to work in USB drive mode, guess they are kept on the SD. P.S. It is total fluke that phandroid happens to be showing on the twitter feed.
Shots are from rightmost screen to leftmost screen...

The battery widget is called Battery Left Widget. You can't see it on the screenie, but when it isn't charging it provides a pretty good estimate of how long (in hours, mins etc) your charge will last - takes a few battery cycles to get a good estimate but once it is there it is pretty good.

Thanks Lekky for the wallpaper
Just been trying to change my app icon in the way u've said above...
all worked fine until i put the app on my desktop..
at first it came up with the new icon but then just sddenly went back to the original icon for that app....
Am i doing something wrong, i followed ur instructions !!
the zip file contains ico and png files, and then use better cut to make the shortcuts, i tried foldeorganizer but i could never get the option for custom icon to work
@Nodders, it looks like you have a widget there for wi-fi status. You've scribbled it out (for obvious reasons) but it looks like it has maybe SSID and signal strength. Which widget is it pls?
Home Screen - Helix 2, Beautiful Widget Clock, Pure Music Widget, iBox icon packs
Press one of the icons and you get a menu, these icons can also be configured to open another submenu (Folder Organiser)
Settings screen - AudioManager, JuiceDefender/Plotter, TaskManager, 3G Watchdog, System Info Widget, Extended Controls bar
Twitter (touiteur), football scores (scoreboard)
Empty screen - need to find more stuff to fill it up!
how do you people do that folder thing?
I can make a folder and add programs, but always have a standard folder icon.
Use the app "Folder Organizer" to create a Label, give it a custom icon, select the apps you want to appear in that label, then add a new widget on the home screen, select "Folder Organizer Label", pick the one you just created.

So this thread made me re-evaluate my homescreens, gone for a more zen feel!
I'm also using a great home replacement called ADW Launcher from the market. Its really fast and looks good. It also has an icon tray that can fit 6 icons in. Look in the main picture to see this. You get to it by dragging down on the main app tray launcher as seen in the other screenshots
Thanks to the guys who posted screens btw, I found a couple good apps I haden't heard about before
Keep posting 'em in here people - this is really good - I was at a loss on how to use my homescreens, but seeing what you widgetmaniacs have done is fantastic! I'm getting all sorts of ideas on how I can get more out of my phone!
those are so cool icons =) better get together where u got em from as im sure ppl will ask hehe.
Icons are called Buuf and Buuf Gnome by Manhattan. You can get them here and here
You have to apply them individually using Better Cut though so it can take a bit of trial and error. Plus you'll have to put a .nomedia file in the Buuf icon folder after you've set them up to stop them showing up in your photo gallery.
Decided to try PandaHome.. Can't decide if I prefer this to the Helix2 setup posted earlier.. Very minimal and tidy but with everything I need still available right from the home screen..
