Is that a stock launcher you are using or something else? Is that clock part of beautiful widgets? Really like the way it looks!

-Jiovani

Stock launcher, font size set to small. Clock/weather widget is from HD Widgets.

which app can I use to get such very nice screenshots?

If you're running a phone with ICS or Jelly Bean then just press volume down and power button at the same time. Will take a screenshot for you. Otherwise unless the function is built in to the ROM it normally needs root permissions.

Do you mean how to customize the home screen? If you're using Android just get a launcher like Nova, or Apex. It lets you do tons of things that the default Android launcher doesnt let you do.

I'm assuming Nik means rather than put up a nice screenshot, tell us the names of the widgets that are being used in it.

My lockscreen and main screen really haven't changed much, I think I have just found the comfort zone.

Using Widget Locker, Beautiful Widgets (Google Now weather theme) and MissedIt

Nice setup mrk was going to say that looked similar to others you had posted. Like you I think I've found a setup that holds all that I want in close enough reach and as you say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Looking through here though certainly does show that people are so different, there are some beautiful setups nice clean and minimal and then some what I would consider horrendous "clusterf***s" each to their own, but some peoples setups would give me a headache after 5 minutes.

Hey cheers!

I agree with you but you agree with me so I would agree with you I guess :D

It's amazing seeing everyone's setup though, it really does make you see how different people are with how they use their personal devices, operative word being personal :)

      Leave Secure Boot off, the Optiplex 7010 isn't getting a firmware update to support the changes...
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
