Thats the clock app right there. If your setup a google account you can sign in on that page and it should see your phone, than you just tell it to install to your phone.

There are some nice wallpapers there. I looked around but there are so many active wallpapers it is very hard to find static ones. I can't be doing with the clutter and added usage of animated ones.
I was also wondering if anyone knew if the existing ones lived in a particular directory and if you could just drop your own in and have them recognised.

As far as wallpapers you can make anything into one. I usually just use google image search and click "large" on the side so it's HD. As long as he picture is higher resolution than the screen on your phone then you'll be all set.

I was just wondering on the location of the wallpaper gallery containing the default ones. It would be nice to keep them all in the same place and it seems that images there are excluded from the normal image gallery view as well.

Here's my current setup. I keep changing these each three or four days.
Any idea as to how I can change the color of the notification bar?

I usually hide my dock with the home button press.

Looks like you are also using the Mystic Halo Live Wallpaper.
The paid version is awesome, and well worth the money.

Yep Mystic Halo is one of the best live wallpapers, super customization and very easy on the battery, combined with Minimalistic Text makes for a great combo to build your home screen exactly how you like it
With a display like the GNote`s it`s a crime just to have a static image, so why not bring em to life

Personally, I like mine:
Ignore the i9220 bit, that's because it's the leaked ICS ROM for the Chinese version of the handset...

Oh, and since we're meant to be doing homescreens, here is mine:
Nice and clean, the way I like it.
Still though, can access lots of stuff very quickly - a single press or swipe on the homescreen I can access all this stuff:
Weather
Calendar
Clock
Market
Settings
Apps drawer
WiFi hotspot settings screen
Opera
Contacts
Text
Gmail
Camera
Battery usage

Evolution, here we are today Minamalistic Text and Mystic Halo really come into their own, a tweak here and there brings a cleaner look and retains the functionality

If you use any picture hosting sites like flickr or even tumblr or facebook etc you can post it there and then right click "copy image url" and then paste it here inside of image tags.

Yeah I use the More Icons widget which is the same thing. I think I'm going to use folders instead with this phone though.
