Influenced from niteowl's typo style

You're turning into a legend there NightOwl :p

I'm very new to all this but loving the fact that I have so many options now (my last phone was a Samsung Omnia which was turd) :)
Here's a few screen caps of my recent homescreens.

List: Launcher Pro+ / Beautiful Widgets /Batt Stat / Clockr / Gauge Battery / My Volume+ / Smooth Calendar / Tajm

Icons: A mix of Minimum and some other picked up somewhere.

Do you know where you got the reflective icons?

Is the widget that has the volume (sys, mp3, atm and clock) My Volume+? I can't seem to google it and the pictures of the MyVolume+ on the market doesn't really look like that one. Edit...just realized something are those just icons? lol

Obviously I think it's great! :D
Perhaps you can make some of the other text that is not a Widget, Time etc to be slightly 'blurry' or either 'lighter / darker' just to make your text stand out slightly more.

But not much more, since the more I look at it, your affect is also created very well with the wallpaper typo being similar to your widgets etc.

I know that sounds contradictory, I would still first try the wallpaper text being slightly blurry etc.

You're welcome to send me the wallpaper and I can give it a bash for you, if you prefer.

Cheers

That's amazing!

That looks awesome! Can you link/post the background and icons?

Sure thing...

Icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2459442/Icons/White_Icons.zip

Few notes about the setup:
  • For the icons, I created them for me as necessary (phone, mail, messaging, browser, camera, bar code scanner, twonky, gmote, checkbook, facebook, twitter, etc.), so if you need more I'd be happy to oblige. Or, if you're a Photoshopper, I can give you the main file.

Cheers!

I was yelling.

Not a hater (I believe I said that I like your layout)... just trying to bring efficiency to the forum.

I have to agree. It would be SO helpful if people would identify all the parts of their screenshots. They're all really interesting, but for those I want to try myself, I have to post the question, hope the person is checking back, page through all the non-answers, and maybe never get a reply. And sometimes there are dozens I'd like to try.

I have learned SO much here, and really appreciate all the creativity and sharing.

Thanks so much! I am a graphic designer, so if you could link the PSD that would be awesome, but no worries otherwise.
