Post Your HTC One Homescreens!

I just got the One yesterday. I'm still in the process of setting it up. I'm still using the Sense launcher at the moment. But, I might switch to Apex soon. I hate the app menu in Sense...

Same here.Don't care too much for the look of the folders w/stock SENSE 5 either.I use HOLO HD LAUNCHER as the default launcher w/a shortcut to BLINKFEED.I'm guessing this is possible w/APEX as well,if you desire to keep using BLINKFEED.

I'm not particularly fond of Blink Feed. I could just as easily use Flipboard, or a half dozen other options.

Still evolving. My other screens have some info widgets on them, but my homescreen is usually pretty minimalist:

Apex Pro, icon theme by Samantha Connor, UCCW for the clock.
The other dock pages have folders in them, so just a few essential apps on this screen (positioned to be reachable one-handed!).

(Apex vs Nova? I slightly prefer Nova's features/interface, but find that scrolling the dock requires a longer swipe, which is more effort one-handed).

What are you using for this?

The Launcher I am using is by Chris Lacy - Action Launcher.

The Icon Pack I am using is Stark. The Wallpaper comes with it I believe.

The Clock and Weather is Dash Clock.

I also am rooted by the way. Dash Clock requires 4.2

Updated: Now I have rounded corners. Do you notice them? (generally speaking) Achieved with the app RoundR. It doesn't require root or anything. My app layout may look a little funny or different though. My density is 380. Rooted obviously.

In a home screen related note, as I play with this thing and look around I realize there's not so many (any?) horizontal home screens, how does that work?

I see there's some force rotate apps but I suspect mixed results...

Any love for the horizontal? If so how?

So many apps aren't mad to look nice in landscape if at all. I first thought it was a good idea when launchers were allowing this, but it quickly became a turn off. Nothing fits properly all the time. Then you have apps that only work in portrait so you'll have to turn your phone anyways.
