Can you post your background? I would love to mess around and see if I can create something similar.
Pretty excited about it. The second background I added content to make wider so I could have 3 full resolution screens in oneDownload GIMP. Its a free program that will do most of what photoshop can, at least what you will need to this type of work.
eek which must mean I like it the way it is. Finally) I used a blank graphic for all functions on the homescreens. As you can imagine, many of the hexagons appear on multiple screens. Therefore, I had to add the blank graphic and its functionality (using Desktop VisualizeR) several times for the same thing. But the result is awesome. I think so anyway. I will definitely have this layout for more than a frickin' WEEK! 
Had bigger plans for this, but here it is anyway. Not the best work, but what the heck.
Great way to incorporate the icons in the background. I totally dig that layout.
Questions:
* For the Apps button, I tried using a minimalistic text widget and setting it to launch the app drawer via an activity launch when clicked, but the only launcher activity in the list is ADW Launcher, and it doesn't do anything. Is there a way to get the app drawer on that list of activities?
* If I have to use a custom icon, how can I get it so the text doesn't look all pixelated around the edges? I just did text on a 240 x 240 (80 x 80 didn't work out) transparent background in GIMP and saved it as a .gif to preserve transparency.
* SSN - you said that you setup the graphic in photoshop first to make sure the grid will be lined up - I tried doing the same with mine as well. Are you running 4 columns or 5? Or can it vary from screen to screen? Left screen looks like 4 columns, right screen looks like 5. Can't really tell what the heck is going on with the middle screen.
* Any suggestions on a good clock that would go with this background?
* SSN - why are you using Desktop Visualizer for your blank icons instead of just using a blank icon? Or is that just in ADW.Launcher?
Oh, I'm running ADW.Launcher on CM7 RC2.
at least people would appreciate it
Worm, may I draw your attention to page one of THIS thread? Those TB people are n00bs, just like I was a n00b the first time I posted in this thread. Now where was that...ah! Page 18! lol Gawd. So my point is, that thread will sweeten up in time. Hell, we are on page 60 here.
Perhaps you can link to this thread in there to show the Lungers™ (TB users) how it's done. You know, give them some hope. And one day, they too will look back in humiliating embarrassment, forever changed by the power of Android.
I used Picasa to crop the original image and I ended up with a couple of extra pixels, so it kinda messed up my cropping of the three panels.
) -> Camera. Map -> Maps. Date/Time Widget -> Calendar. Desk Phone -> Dialer.
Thank you suprafreak for getting me started and SSN for the inspiration on this layout.
So I know the split between the screens isn't perfect... but you can't tell on the phone.
Original photo is http://im01.thewallpapers.org/photo/23705/red-couch-in-living-room.jpg so you can see how much editing I had to do. This is really my first foray into photoshop (gimp actually) but I think it turned out pretty good. I'll be changing or fixing the phone - it definitely looks photoshopped, and probably changing the wireless router to a white one so you can see it better. I've also got plenty of free space for future iterations.
Middle panel:
(Desktop Visualizer, Apps Organizer, Minimalistic Text)
I really meant for my middle screen to be more minimalistic, but with those big panels I had to put it them to use. Starting at the top: The red folder opens my app drawer currently (but I'll be changing it to Apps Organizer once I get an organization system going). Letter -> SMS/MMS. GMail ->E-mail. Pictures (of my girlfriend
Left Screen:
(Desktop Visualizer)
This definitely has some free space, but I'm not quite sure how I can use it. Facebook -> Facebook, Headphones -> Audiogalaxy (which is one of my favorite apps ever). Invisible toggle on the right light for flashlight.
Right screen:
(SwitchPro, Desktop Visualizer)
Toolbox -> Settings, Wireless Router -> Browser. I just have those 4 toggles because the other 3 are in my notifications bar, but I might bring those down (to make 7!) if I decide to get rid of my notifications bar (which I just can't seem to do yet). I was hoping I could get the toggles over that beam in the middle of the window, but it just wouldn't line up. Shoot. I'll find something else to do with it, I guess.
Wow this was a super fun layout to make and I think I'll be tweaking it just a little bit more, but I'll definitely be sticking with it for a while! Thanks again to suprafreak and SSN for the ideas and inspiration!
