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 :)

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
