Post your Homescreens

I don't know how they sized them but the couple I've done have been at the size I listed and they worked.

yep - i just tested and confirmed this morning that it is definitely 1440x1280. so if you are cropping an image for wallpaper - set the exact center of your image at the intersection of pixels 720 Horizon and 640 Vertical. i use the MS Paint ruler for this.

This is what I've got so far from what I've gathered from this thread.

That looks great. Simple, but powerful. I like the maroon color against the dark grays. Very nice.

Now, I would go w/ Launcher Pro+ or Nova and get rid of the search bar and gain some dock real estate. It would clean it up nicely. I also just discovered circle launcher - it lets you have a super clean home screen w/ every thing you need, invisibly, one click away.

What is the home screen by itself? I was thinking 720W x 1280H ... but I'm not sure that's right.

Slick. Not sure I like the red on the softkeys, but I don't dislike it either. Wish they were centered tho, is the only thing I can really say. They just seem out of sync, ya know?

Still cool :)


Yeah, I went from blue 4 keys to blue 5 keys to red 5 keys.

I kind of want green so I might give that a shot, but i agree about the centering too.. I guess nova uncenters them or something

Was bored so I changed my clock lol.

Still liking the basic thing.. (scrolling dock left and right though, for commonly used apps)

Using:
- Nova Launcher
- Minimalistic Text for the clock
- SimiBattery and Weather Widgets
- SimpleText / Desktop Visualizer for the labeled dock apps.
- And that Blue Chrome pack that's been linked for the App Drawer icon

Looks like it might be using Simple Text - Text Icon Creator from the market. It allows you to turn the words. It actually allows a lot of changes. Might have to use Nova Launcher though. Not sure about that one[/QUOTE

Simple text and you do not need nova launcher


Good to know. When I tried simple text in the launcher it didn't like it. I shall try again on my next round of icons

love your setup, would you mind telling me the settings you used on the clock widget, because if the time is say 10:25, it'll show the 1 on top of the 0 and then the 25, and it's really annoying.

thanks
