Here is mine:

Simi Clock
I'm also rooted with softkey mods.

Question: If you hold down on the search button that you've added, will it bring up voice search like the buttons on every other android phone does? Also, can you remove the recent apps button and just have the back, home, and search button with this mod, if you want to? Because, if so, that's what I'm going to do when I get my phone. Thanks in advance.

Okay, here's mine, very much a work in progress. Background here. You can see that I'm sort of an anti-minimalist; I like having an aesthetically pleasing background, but I'm a firm believer in using all the space the phone provides.

I keep it rather simple. I am never satisfied with customization. I'd rather have something forced upon me so I don't have to bother trying to get something I like. There's just too many things out there.

Most of my stuff is on the home page, I don't really like scrolling to other pages. The good thing about ICS is I can keep most of my stuff in folders on the main page. On my droid X I kept most things in my app drawer.

Anyone know why the pic I posted above doesn't show up in the app? Size issue maybe?

it is actually not showing up in the regular site either. to post a pic here, you will need to upload it somewhere (picasa, tinypic, photobucket, etc.), then copy the web address of that file (should end in .jpg or .png), and post it here between img tags.

example:

[ img ]http://www.youruploadsite.com/yourimage.jpg[ /img ]

(remove the spaces in the img tags)

Thanks for that. I haven't used any picture sharing site like that yet. Maybe it's time to start. Any recommendations?

tinypic is quick and easy, and does not require you to have an account. this is what i generally use for pics i just want to show here, and don't care about using again.

for photos i do want repeat access to, i use photobucket. picasa may be just as good, or better, but i have used photobucket since my myspace days (yes, i admitted that :eek:), so i use it for the familiarity alone.

I'm still not sure this is how I'll keep it, but here is my updated look. I've totally ripped off Steevka, but that setup is pretty awesome, IMHO. :D The main thing I'm thinking about changing is the calendar widget. I've been looking at Pure calendar, and I also have business calendar which I've used in the past.
