Add in some red and I'd be getting MKBHD logo vibes.

Huh, there was a thread for this earlier over on c/asklemmy

Anyway here's mine. I keep the top bar on because I like seeing my notifications.

Nova Launcher, Crayon icon pack, Comic KWGT widgets

Edit: And here's my old one on this phone, I found a screenshot of it.

Material you based design, one of many in the AIO launcher Apps and actions can be launched via search, and there is support for DuckDuckGo bangs

Wallpapers change every day, picked up from the Internet.

All applications are placed in categories, the most popular above category for quick launch (updated automatically, depending on the launch count)

The most ugly - multi-colored icons. I have to use an icon pack close to the default android, otherwise, randomly installed applications without support of icon pack will stand out.

Not too cute, but quite humanly usable.

I built my own android version from LineageOs, just changed some colors and added one setting, but was so proud of myself that I named it HeimchenOs(after the crickets in my garden)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Icon pack: Nebula icons (purple icon, on the Play Store) Launcher: Samsung One UI Home, using Good Lock's Theme Park module to use Play Store icons.

There are also hidden stacked widgets, hiding battery stats, earbuds control and a music player widget. It's in the row above the dock but is hidden behind an empty KWGT widget.

Mine is probably pretty boring compared to most setups here, but whatever.

Smart Launcher 6.3 beta with the Alexis Pie iconpack.

I've had this setup for probably close to three years now and I don't see it changing anytime soon. I have a very similar theme on my desktop with the background changing hue depending on different programs running. The launcher is Lawnchair with the Arcticons Dark theme from F-Droid.

Nothing crazy like others but here's mine with kwgt.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is a little old (Twitter app isn't a thing anymore lol), but it's the best screenshot I have. Custom widgets made by me for battery, alarm, media.

Nova launcher, custom made icons in purely B/W to match my background image. Some are entirely self made, some come from various online sources, some are AI generated and manually retouched.

Opening the folders on the home screen shows the app icons in color, otherwise transparent overlay would be a messy mix of lines.

(example with opened "security" folder)

Single screen homepage, no widgets. I hate animations and scrolling.

Niagara Launcher, fishicons icons

Microsoft Launcher, Clock Widget self made with KWGT

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Wallpaper : part of the default ones on the Google pixel 7pro. The wallpaper is rotated daily which will change the device theme thanks to Material You

Launcher : Nova launcher

Widgets : Another Widget for the one at the top, the Google search bar at the bottom

Icon pack : Oreo Icon Pack mostly but the app does not exist anymore. The icons are still there since it's a Nova backup from at least 5 years ago

Each icon is a folder. I setup nova to open the first app of the folder with a swipe up on the icon and to open the folder when tapping on the icon

Also I have a swipe right gesture that opens Google News as a left pane

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Mines pretty basic, I've been using this setup for years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Simple nova launcher setup with all my most used apps within thumbs reach.

Niagra launcher <3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm still working on my background in kustom live wallpaper. I added a screen for easy use in the car. My app icons are Umbra by Vertumus.

Device: Galaxy A71

I like minimalism - and I'll avoid downloading any apps unless necessary, it's an unhealthy OCD. πŸ’€πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Niagara Launcher might be up your alley.

KISS Launcher with Gadgetbridge, two Weawow widgets stacked, and Mincal Widget

Lawnchair, Digical, Aquamail, Doodle: Live Wallpaper

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Wallpaper by me (Midjourney), icons are Nova dark, and the launcher is smart launcher 6. There's a weather widget by shadow weather that you can barely see.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn some of you guys are creative! I'm fairly satisfied with my setup, but its pretty basic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Oof the nostalgia. Rip Have Heart. Still one of the best albums in that genre

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Nova launcher and Chroma live wallpaper, try to keep it clean. Background changes each time I go home.

S22+ Nova Launcher KWGT + Nothing for KWGT

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The home screen I've had for a while!

Nova Launcher Prime with Borealis icons on the S22 Ultra.

Set this layout for the icons so I can easily reach each app while not looking at my phone based on my hand orientation.

Seeing all of these amazing-looking home screens finally got me to switch from pixel launcher, I hated that I can't remove the Google app search widget and I must say as simple as fuck this new home screen is it is starting to grow on me I love how simple it is, Niagara launcher
